The ‘O’ stands for manipulation…

Being lazy and having update-related issues with nextcloud too often for my taste I went back to the basics (as that’s all I actually use 99% of the time) with Syncthing for file syncing and Radicale for caldav/carddav.

“We want to show the automotive industry that sustainable and practical design really is achievable”

Funny to think they don’t know already. But sustainable isn’t the goal, maximising profits is.

Sure, there is a usecase for this. But sperate buffers and varying (and often unintuitive) behavior of software and which buffer is used how is a much bigger hurdle for people not used to it than that “middle-click pasting is confusing” bullshit…

No, what actually makes sense is a proper unification of different copy/paste buffers that is nowadays still mostly improvised and only achieved through very different 3rd party tools (for me using the panel from xfce it’s xfce4-clipman for example that keeps highlighting text and middle-click buffers synchronised with ctrl-c/ctrl-v or ctrl-insert/shift-insert…).

The problem is not accidently pasting something with a middle-click, but not knowing what is in one buffer, what is in another one and which one a program is using.

I don’t quite get why Gnome people see this as a negative.

Because GNOME decisions are correct, always and exclusively so. Everyone who disagrees is obviously clueless and can be disregarded.

That’s basically the GNOME mantra.

GNOME guys complaining about someone trying to force unilateral decisions upon them and being totally uncoopertaive must be satire…

“Users will stop suggesting Linux as a realistic alternative to Windows for non-technical users”

Then their users will simply be wrong…

Non-technical users don’t have any problems with Linux as an alternative. They don’t know nor care what is running on their PC as long as they can click on icons opening the handful of basic programs they actually use.

It’s the pseudo-technical users that think their constant MS indoctrination means they are the pinacle of experienced PC users that are the problem.

Yeah, the majority downloads a random program to do it for them from some website. Which might or might not do what it advertised, sometimes even without installing a lot of trash ranging from ads to viruses…

I do manage them via git. But I only do it so have settings (and their changes) synchonised between 2 PCs and a laptop.

With just one main device I don’t even see a reason to “manage” anything… a basic backup strategy completely independent of just dotfiles aside.

None.

I use Signal for messaging. In fact I only use it on mobile devices for short stuff.

Any discussion that takes more time than typing s few short sentences (but is usually also less time-sensitive) I do on the desktop app already.

So Signal is definitely not the right platform for me to talk about hobbbies or other interests. That’s not what it was originally designed for. And that’s not what I will ever use Signal for even if it can nowadays cover that area somewhat.

Just set the timezone environmental parameter accordingly. Librewolf might pretend to be in UTC but doesn’t care if the time given by your system is wrong to get the correct time again.

Oh, they really fixed this.Didn’t notice as Librewolf is only my backup.

And if you try often enough it maybe even be a working one…

You do a massive disservice to the overwhelming majority of computer users.

By explicitly telling the rest why Bazzite probably isn’t for them?

yes, it’s linux…

and never bothers me

For some time… but nowadays I would never go for anything not rolling release anymore.

Because those distro upgrades were traditionally when something broke (or there were just too many changes requiring my attention at the same time), triggering a fresh install… usually combined with trying another distro.

I really love all my various Pis but at the moment there are so many refurbished servers available (thank Windows 11) as well as several small form factor x86 PCs that a Raspberry Pi 5 sadly is on the lower end of performance/cost.

Will we need to log in every morning and expect to refresh every damn site cert we connect to soon?

Certbot’s default timer checks twice a day if it’s old enough to be be due for a renewal… So a change from 90 to 1 day will in practice make no difference already…

No, why would it bother me.

Some people need to voice their opinions loudly, some don’t. Doesn’t matter much for me.

The number of “I’m switching to Linux” comments or the change in frequency however is a reasonable indicator for public opinion (under the assumption that there is no sudden global increase in extroverts needing to voice their opinion loudly…).
