Definitely firewall things. Do you connect your personal phone to your work’s Wi-Fi? I would really not.

KDE Connect masterrace represent!

I don’t mean a military abandonment. I mean economical abandonment. Why “only” China helps out?

I am sure there are answers to these questions. These I want to find out.

I could be argued that China seems to be doing it in a much more humane way than Europe did, while Europe has now virtually abandoned Africa in poverty now that it isn’t cool to steal.

But we’ll see how this evolves.

Most “normal” programs use some “abstraction” libraries, so the programmer doesn’t need to know which platform it is running on. This “platform” is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.

Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these “abstraction” libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.

Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to “trick” these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It’s not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you’d be surprised how much we’ve got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.

I find it funny when people around me think I am a computer expert and I just tried to read this and couldn’t comprehend sh*t.

I knowwww

Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!

How does it hold up against Ardour?

Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.

You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.

Been using BTRFS since I learned I could squeeze more data on my cheap-ass drive and… It’s been 3 years, no problem at all, and I have backups anyway.

I support this idea. Moving is the perfect opportunity to classify your stuff into useful and wasteful, specially clothes, shoes, and some older electronics. Recycle and donate.

Also, if you have a phone you can turn any document into a digital one, find manuals online and trash the paper ones, etc.

It’s amazing when you suddenly feel lighter, and you didn’t know you had all that psychological weight on you.

Minor upgrades don’t usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.

In what sense is DuckDNS unreliable?

I’m a cheap guy, and honestly I got the cheapest Kindle (I believe 2022) and I’ve been reading books from Calibre without issues.

No other e-reader was as cheap as that, and it… Just works.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

The Hyperloop still hasn’t happened in an age where we can grab rockets from the sky.

It was just a great idea to stop development of high-speed rail so cars could still make sense for longer.

Hopefully USA seems to be realising already: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/22/hyperloop-one-elon-musk-high-speed-rail/

😅 thank you!! Following ISO 8601 is always appreciated.

Another week, another incorrect weekday format.

It’s 2024-W39, you are welcome.

But Wayland is waaay better than X in basically everything? Performance and security are simply in another league entirely. And these 2 are the most important factors.

The rest of the “features” will be eventually there. In fact, mostly are there already. I’ve been using Wayland 2 years without issues. The important thing is that now the sofware is solid, the code is clean and the performance is amazing. Growing from there will be so much better than from X11.
