shhhh dont tell them :)

  • I really wish KDE would consider another base for their dev/showcase distro.

    Fedora teamed up with the Asahi folks, maybe they're open to supporting KDE too. Or opensuse, could totally see an opensuse based Neon.

  • Arch just works is a stretch, come on.

    I appreciate the idea and the possibility of learning a lots of the internals.

    But the just works idea IMO should extend to the setup process as well, and on arch it's definitely not as easy as on most other distros.

    • Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

  • The lack of any ad blockers on mobile chrome is what personally made me switch why I'll never switch, unless I have a gun pointed at my head.

    • What is spying?

    Jump

  • Your logical inference is wrong.

    • Brother printer questions

    Jump

  • Kubuntu is great for out of the box printer detection, as are Fedora and Mint, in my experience.

    Some distros may force you through some obstacles though, and in my experience (opensuse) you may have to allow mdns/ipp protocols in your firewall rules for local device discovery and communication.

    Apart from that I'd argue that setting up a modern printer on Linux is pretty much plug n play nowadays, since most should support driverless printing at this point.

    • Voyager released to Google Play!

    Jump

  • Too iOS-y for me, thanks.

    • Now that Sync and Infinity are out, which do people prefer? Also, how do they compare to the existing lemmy apps?

    Jump

  • Connect or Liftoff

    • Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community

    Jump

  • LIGHT THEME ALERT!

    Put your sunglasses on, folks! 😎

    • If you had $5,000 to donate to your favourite open-source projects, which one would they be?

    Jump

  • Sure, but if Mozilla dies, Firefox dies and we're all on chromium 🤮

    Mozilla might have mismanaged their money (didn't know about that), but right now it's a tangible (and the only) mainstream alternative to Google's monopoly.

    • If you had $5,000 to donate to your favourite open-source projects, which one would they be?

    Jump

  • Probably 100% Mozilla.

    The free and open web is so in danger right now.

    • Please put your money where your mouth is.

    Jump

  • I would start by donating to your home instance, first and foremost.

    But yeah if you love the all you're using, whichever it is, donate to its devs, too

    • We should stop saying "The customer is always right" because it's not true

    Jump

  • Spez? Elon? You there guys?

    • How come we say Lake Michigan and not the Ocean Pacific or River Chicago?

    Jump

  • Because your language is weird.

    In Italian for example we say Lago di Como Mare del Nord (the North Sea) Oceano Atlantico Fiume Po (the River Po)

    Same in Spanish I think

    • This week in KDE: Sounds like Plasma 6

    Jump

  • No offense, but that's a really stupid reason not to try it out.

    • While Android as a whole continues to shrink in the US, Google Pixel keeps growing

    Jump

  • For me it was the 2XL.

    That camera was just 5 years ahead of everything else, fruit included.

    Got a 5 after that, but the selfie cam was crap. And to some extent, it still is on current models. I wish Google did something about it, I can't be the only one noticing.

    • What do you use to document your home lab?

    Jump

    • I Compiled the Linux Kernel myself for the first time

    Jump

  • 8MB for an entire thing running a web server.

    Mind: blown

    • The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide

    Jump

  • That's what I also fail to grasp.

    If things get serious and for example the WhatsApp, Telegram and Signals of the world have to disable e2ee to keep operating in the UK, I guess they could just leave that market before compromising data privacy of their users worldwide.

    I don't see this "ending encryption worldwide" thingy happening, at all.

    But they could dig themselves a deeper hole after Brexit, that's definitely possible and wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    • Built-in software ‘death dates’ are sending thousands of schools’ Chromebooks to the recycling bin

    Jump

  • I have preordered a framework laptop which will run Linux until it fucking blows up or falls apart.

    Enough with being screwed over by well known brands whose interest is just selling you more and more stuff.

    • How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

    Jump

  • Vorta + borgbase

    The yearly subscription is cheap and fits my storage needs by quite some margin. Gives me peace of mind to have an off-site back up.

    I also store my documents on Google Drive.
