The Left calls to ban conversion practices in the EU

Jump

  • Huge thanks to the French for over 900% of required signatures which is much higher than any other country, they’re pretty much always in the “recent signatories” list! <3

    • PSA: Not all applications use environment variables (Like they are supposed to)

  • This is not a distro-specific thing, but a desktop-specific one. It was probably written for Gnome primarily.

    Not sure how other software that reads this setting handles it, but imo doing it correctly it should only look at it if the current desktop is Gnome. Plasma has a setting like this too, which probably works similarly.

  • This is an European Citizens’ Initiative which only needs 60,000 50,000 30,000 0 more signatures with a deadline of TOMORROW!

    It’s reached the 1 million, but you can still sign if you haven’t! There are bound to be some invalid ones.

    Sign it here if you’re in the EU: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

    • Can you read and understand this passage?

    Jump

  • Sure. It paints a very vivid picture, I love it.

    Never read anything by Dickens before except for A Christmas Carol (and that was for school) but this is now on my reading list :)

    Holy shit, memories unlocked. Uploaded 10 years ago…

    I’ll need to listen to all the others again.

  • Jolla C2 looks pretty interesting.

    • Has anybody here ever tried Temu?

    • When did you start working around with Linux?

    Jump

  • I started using openSuSE full time on my laptop after the disastrous Windows 8 upgrade (it kept bluescreening and had problems suspending on that laptop.), I guess I was 11 at the time.

    But I’ve been messing around with Live CDs on my parents’ computer that came with a computer magazine my dad subscribed to for a while before that. I remember spending a lot of time in Knoppix specifically. Probably mostly playing the games that came on it.

    Windows 10 still has the same issues on it last time I checked lmao

    • Ye song glorifying Hitler gets millions of views on X while other platforms struggle to remove it

  • If someone keeps making Nazi comments online, should they be banned or just the comments removed?

    • What laws, is any, does this break?

  • Can you export it as an email archive file and copy it to a USB stick or upload somewhere accessible from your personal computer?

    • Adopting sudo-rs By Default in Ubuntu 25.10

    Jump

  • sudo is MIT also (or something that looks like MIT at least). https://www.sudo.ws/about/license/

    The more critical part wrt license is real coreutils which they also want to replace.

    • Has the Deck turned off any other Steam users?

    Jump

  • Just tested it to see what you’re talking about, I’ve never seen that before. Yeah that’s bullshit. It logs you out of the account (kind of?) and when you log back in, it logs out the other computer. What the hell.

  • Well duh, I just came up with it on the fly instead of actually spending time thinking about what the right design would be for this. I don’t know why you expect otherwise.

  • For all of those you need to open an editor anyway.

    Open your editor, start typing, press ctrl+s, drag the folder from the file manager to the save dialog to navigate there.

    If anything, there should be a “Create new document with…” menu entry with a submenu that lets you select an editor, and when you save, the save dialog has the correct folder open. Anything, but have the editor create the document because it knows best what data to write when you do save.

    A menu entry to create new empty file is a bad solution to this. It’s not general enough, and people don’t actually want an empty file as you just demonstrated with your list.

    • Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

    Jump

  • Yeah. I did it exactly once, on vacation, while I didn’t have internet connection/didn’t want to waste the rest of my data, and wanted to import photos to my MacBook to edit them. It was fast enough on the Lightning connector.

    This is a complete non-issue especially since faster hardware would probably be more expensive. Apple has enough actual issues that are more important such as repairs, RAM pricing, sideloading, …

  • What’s the point in being able to create an empty file from the file manager? You pretty much never want to actually have an empty file.

    Open whatever program that can edit the document type you want (you would have it open later anyway to edit the document), make a new document, put something in it and save it. You have to do that anyway with any document type where an empty file isn’t valid data.
