Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

He’s just not fully materialized yet.
This is sad. I really like the app!
What’s everyone using instead?
The Bangle.js 2 is pretty cool
In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)
I’m curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.
My guess (and hope) is it’ll be just for fresh installs. That’s a big change and could break things for some people. But we’ll see!
I might give Wayland a try, but likely stay in X for a while yet. I have a little bit of software (like KeepassXC) that doesn’t quite have full Wayland support yet.
Yes. It probably won’t be available for install tomorrow, but I’m hoping its a pretty seamless upgrade once it lands in the repos.
Taking your data to flavortown!
I don’t use Flatpak much, but I rarely see issues. Sometimes I see minor things like themes not quite being right, but its never been bad enough for me to spend the time to fix it.
I suppose another downside is the need to have the base runtime packages, so it could take more disk space if each app uses a different one. In practice apps will share runtimes though.
I’ve never heard of Skiff, but it’s sad to see more software gobbled up by VCs. Though it sounds like the back end was never OSS to begin with?
I used to be so excited about a future where people were software literate where we would be building open systems and make a decent living. Instead, people have been force fed locked down systems in the name of “user experience”, all so that a few people can make an absolute killing while the rest of us feed off the scraps (even if the scraps of the software industry are still pretty good). It just makes me sad.
I am extremely appreciative of folks who do make honest open source software though! Many of them do make a decent living too. It’s hard not to lose hope when reading stuff like this, but then I remember that I’m typing this comment using Firefox on KDE Plasma running on a Linux kernel, right next to an Emacs session. Sticking to good open source software is a wonderful thing!
I’ve started using btop to kill processes instead of the ps, grep, kill incantation.
I just can’t take anything seriously that puts such an emphasis on “free speech”.
The blog has a post about “Web 3”, so that’s a bit of a red flag as well.
I love how the top of the page mentions to ditch Facebook and twitter, but then there are links to them at the bottom. I get wanting to spread the word, but it just looks bad.
Also, no source code?
This whole thing just feels sketchy.
I use EndeavourOS with KDE and it’s wonderful!
Does anyone know offhand the issues Calamares has with Xfce?
Came here to say exactly this.
I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.
Will someone answer that damn ringing!?
Clearly you’ve never read Hacker News. :)
Every point I’ve made has several threads on pretty much every Hacker News post about Mozilla or Firefox.
I was using Firefox when it was still called Phoenix, and I switched to Chrome briefly about 10 years ago when it was actually a bit better than Firefox. At the time, most people I knew in the tech sector were using Firefox. It’s Firebug extension was a major boost for development. Chrome was a bit better and their dev tools were even better than Firebug at the time.
I switched back to Firefox when I saw the direction Google was taking it, and I know a lot of other people did as well. Still, many people stayed with Chrome. There’s no shortage of comments on Hacker News about “I dropped Firefox because X” or “I tried to switch to Firefox but X”, where X is one of the things I mentioned.
Chrome got to where it was in no small part to us “computer people” saying it was good. And now not enough of us are saying Firefox is good. It breaks my heart to see so many young and smart developers choosing Chrome.
We’re heading back to the bad old days of IE dominance, with proprietary extensions, playing fast and loose with standards, and market dominance pushing for things that only benefit one company. ActiveX still gives me nightmares.
I’ve never understood the logic of people who switched to Chrome from Firefox.
Mozilla has an overpaid CEO, so let’s switch to a browser that’s run by one of the richest companies on the planet. Firefox broke some extension, so let’s switch to a browser that has an even worse extension model. Firefox shows client side ads that are easily disabled, so let’s switch to a browser actually run by an ad tech company. Firefox changed the UI to look like Chrome (and they hate the design), so I guess switch to Chrome?
It makes no sense…
The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.
Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.
