I don't now about numbers, but quality-wise... It's another world.

There's a whole Wikipedia page covering the motto drop. And yes, it was an ugly move deserving of all the bad press.

ChameleonOS seems to be already taken... Maybe ReptileOS?

It depends on many things. The webbrowser thing is just because of the size of the package.

AUR is not necessarily slower. It depends on if you have to compile it or not, size of build dependencies...

There are too many variables.

If you install AUR things with yay or paru... It's pretty safe to just Ctrl+C once. It should clean everything up.

In any case, yes, the *-bin packages generally are pre-compiled, so someone else has done the effort already, so your install is just way faster.

It's amazing to me how much these companies spend on redesigns that add nothing but rounded corners one year, then sharp corners next year, and so on...

Wait that f-droid thing??? How is it possible if they only release on Play Store?

This guy trying to steal your security questions!

Capital i is same as non-capital L... So a horrible font for me.

The second one. Some apps were taking advantage of the fact that X allowed any program access to EVERYTHING on your screen, shortcuts, etc. Wayland ensures more control, which is excellent news, but definitely the change requires programs to adapt, and some have not (AnyDesk, for example).

I think you are misinterpreting things.

What??

The RCS API on Android is only available to Google Messages and whomever Google allows (like Samsung Messages when they existed). This is the reality.

If the RCS API was truly open there would be an explosion of FOSS alternatives to Google's spyware.

As long as you have a Google or Apple phone in your pocket... The car will actually not gather much more than your phone already does... So don't overthink it.

Google’s work could encourage the adoption of MLS, much as it did with RCS.

How can you say what Google has done is "encouraging RCS"? They literally monopolised it.

At least on my KDE Plasma you can assign a priority number to every single connection, using the UI itself, no terminal fiddling. For example, if you know one that you ALWAYS want to connect to, you can assign it a very high value, etc.

Have you tried Heliboard? It's open and has swyping (you have to download a binary blob).

Look... I certainly (particularly verbally) will probably use "he" a lot more than I should... And no one cares.

But if someone makes a PR changing these into "they", I would reply with "shit, you're right, this is objectively better, thanks for your work".

Instead, these contributors get their PR shut down with the most terrible, supremacist excuse. That's the problem. There's the true idiot.

I sincerely hope that you don't think that group chats, online gaming, or phones are "better" than true social life, because there is overwhelming science indicating that those things are making people absolutely miserable... and we actually don't need science to see it everyday.

That's what I said.

It's very easy to get a Gnome look and feel with Plasma nowadays.

I still don't know why Gnome loves wasting 3 % of the screen on an empty black bar, tho.

But people wouldn't buy the newer chip because the previous one would still have support. THAT is why the source is closed. To sell support until the cow is milked enough and then sell a newer version.
