  • Conservative politics hasn't meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

    Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn't entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.

  • We went ahead and disabled the X11 session by default and from now on it needs to be explicitly enabled when building the affected modules. (gnome-session, GDM, mutter/gnome-shell).

    Aside from a simple flag change and a recompile before Canonical adds the packages to their repo, it doesn't sound like this will affect Ubuntu at all. They probably already do this anyway to add their own little patches.

    The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.

    GNOME 50 is when Canonical will truly need to either move to Wayland or do something else.

    Seems fairly reasonable of a timeline from the GNOME team, IMO.

  • It's not defeatism

    that's how the system works

    So, it's not defeatism, you're just arguing for maintaining the status quo? If that's not defeatism in the face of a system that is mass arresting people, then what is it? What exactly is your point?

    Edit: ah, just noticed that you are a moderator of conservative@lemm.ee. Maybe you really do want to uphold the status quo of Trump's directives.

  • The public out there on the streets of LA this weekend are certainly doing substantial things. Why the defeatism? Go join them and help.

  • People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.

    Even the linked article whines about how they don't want to use Peertube because "the audience for the content is 100x smaller" but that's at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren't going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don't post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.

    There's not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.

  • Sadly, Duolingo is quickly becoming AI infested shit. I have been using it for years now, it's very frustrating to see it declining in quality.

  • I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.

  • press your eyes real hard

    You did say this originally in a way that could be concerning. It's unsurprising that someone would advise caution.

    the mild pressing

    Then you understated yourself in response to someone showing care towards you.

    gently pressing

    In your quest to refuse to graciously accept any kind of good-natured advice, you've moved pretty far away from the "press your eyes real hard" that you started with.

    You could have just said "Oh, thanks for the warning, I'll be careful." and moved on.

  • Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There's literally always going to be someone out there who doesn't have the same information that you do.

    Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.

  • I used to use Pano for that, but it's extension page hasn't been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It's not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.

    Both options can be bound to Super+V, that's exactly the key combo I use for it.

  • Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as "don't use GNOME if you have Nvidia".

    Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I've never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.

  • Why use the AI in the first place then? Just search for the actual recipe sources from the start.

  • Haven't watched the video since it's on YouTube, but I hope this means they'll start adding features at some point soon after the rewrite is finished. It would be really nice to be able to more easily configure bridged networking in a VM, for instance.

  • Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I've been to many banks, and there's been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That's why I'm confused here. I know what a scale is.

  • Spice is slow as fuck too. It was so agonizing using my Windows VM (for Affinity Publisher) on Gnome Boxes because it requires Spice tools since the networking isn't bridged by default for whatever reason and you can't enable it without a bunch of fucking around, so network shares don't function. Everything is done via Spice WebDAV, which gets disconnected every couple of minutes, freezing the VM filesystem while the Windows VM figures out wtf to do with itself and reconnects everything. It's atrocious.

    Eventually I spent the time needed to fiddle with the VM in Virtual Machine Manager and set up bridged networking. Now I can use normal network shares and it's so much faster and more reliable.

    I know this thread is supposed to be about the remote access parts of it, but Spice is damned annoying, in my experience. I don't even want to be using a Windows VM anyway, the last thing I need is slow file sharing with my host OS.

  • I've read this a few times, and I can't figure out what you're referring to with a "scale" at the bank. What does that mean?

  • Could you explain your suggestion that there's a correlation between one's subjective awareness of a food item's nutritional content and it's objective fitness for human consumption over time? These things seem entirely unrelated to me.

  • These do not sound like mutually exclusive perspectives. Why not both?

  • As someone who uses GIMP very effectively for commercial work, I am increasingly feeling like people who say that GIMP isn't a capable alternative are simply ignorant of it's capabilities. Yeah, it doesn't work like Photoshop. Yeah, it doesn't work like Affinity Photo. Yeah, it doesn't work like Photopea.

    But yeah, it does work, and works well. If you apply a bit of patience to learn how it works, then it's also very easy to use, eventually. Maybe it doesn't cover all the use-cases, but it's ignorant to say that it categorically isn't capable for commercial use.
