I used Arch in the past but don't have much time to tinker with my Linux installs anymore, so I switched to Manjaro on most of my devices, hoping to get a balance between low maintenance and access to bleeding edge and AUR ecosystem. I do notice the issues with updates getting delayed more and more in the past few months, and issues with AUR packages getting out of sync like you mentioned.

I wonder if I should start looking into something else. Any recommendation?

Turn your chicken coop into a 5 star Airbnb listing with one simple trick!

Is this about revenge? This law firm helped the original Twitter management to force Musk to honor his promise to buy Twitter.

Reddit used to put their source code on GitHub and people would go in and help fixing bugs or use it to understand the quirk of the system so they can better integrate their 3rd party apps and bots. I still can't believe they threw away all of those community goodwill.

In the other hand, I'm impressed with zoomers ability to produce contents with nothing but their phone. A 30-something old fart like me is stuck with the mentality of anything productive like video or image editing require the use of desktop, which apparently not true anymore.

You're right. I somehow remember it as Linux Mint.

Don't forget that time when installing steam on Linux Mint would prompt you to uninstall gnome, and Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) got burned because he didn't read the confirmation message.

Interesting. I'll have to try this when I got the time. Thanks!

I live in a third world country. What you don't see in those YouTube videos is how common it is for the locals to contracts sanitary-related diseases such as typhoid fever, hepatitis A, ascaris worms, diarrhea, etc. A large proportion of people I know (including myself) have contacted typhoid fever at some point in their live. Those street food resistance is earned by getting sick a lot when they're young.

VSCode is an electron application, right? Electron apps use xwindow (or xwayland) unless you launched them with certain flags. I'm interested to know if native Wayland app actually works. Or is it possible that distrobox is actually use xwindow and pass everything to the host's xwayland process? Can't seem to find anything about it in the docs.

If it were me, when you click the "share to Lemmy" button, I'll just show a drop down list of most popular instances, followed with a "Custom..." item at the bottom where people can type their instance's domain name.

Aliko Dangote seems to be a real classy guy:

Can you run Wayland GUI apps in distrobox?

Went to hackernews the other day. Tried to upvote a comment, then it asked me to login. Put in my login, hit the button, and boom, it redirected back to the original page, and the comment I was attempting to upvote is successfully upvoted! I was expecting I'll need to press the upvote button again, but I don't even need to do that. My mind was blown. Wish more websites do this.

Yes, never have this problem thanks to the trusty ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v.

One common criticism about Tailscale is it has too many features for a networking product, which increase the likelihood of bugs that can lead to security compromise (e.g. Tailscale SSH ), especially when compromised tailscale network means the malicious actors have full access to your internal network.

I'll try again to see if the blur only happen on certain apps or all of them.

If we were to take parallel with how big email providers handle federation, there is a good chance that meta will make it a lot harder for smaller instances to federate in the name of combating spam later down the line (throttling activitypub traffics, requiring certain nonstandard antispam technological measures to be added in their instance, etc).

Whether or not the intention is malicious, it'll effectively discourage people to "spread out" and run their own instances for their community, and fediverse citizens will slowly but surely migrate to the big operators because of less hassle and that's where everyone hang out.

Imagine those old conservatives shock when lemmygrad contents show up on their federated feed.

Thanks for mentioning wefwef. I just installed it in my instance.
