I agree with some comments at HN about that proposing an alternative is kinda pointless. D-Bus, contrary to the X situation, can be fixed.

5 downvotes are absolutely nothing compared to that level of idiocy.

Some people love whatever Mac/Windows does in UI for some reason. Most popular and downloaded themes on opendesktop.org are almost always whatever that resembles Mac/Windows for this reason.

This made me remember that one time several years ago when I was wondering if there was any way to change that font and learned there was some sort of service that allowed you to do that in boot time, but the downside was that there was some sort of what it’s known at frontend web development as “FOUT” (flash of unstyled text) and you could avoid that by converting your .pcf font to C code and patch it into the kernel code, but at that point I gave up.

Pretty sure there should be some nonprofit that will gladly get and assemble them so i.e. children on remote places can have a computer.

That’s an insult to six-year-olders. They are learning constantly and they don’t shit their pants.

Comments complaining how everything takes time to compile in Gentoo are kind of funny, do you really need everything to be installed asap?

That being said, Gentoo indeed is not for everyone. I’ve been using it for +15 years and am really happy with it - almost zero maintenance and it’s super stable. The crux is the time it takes to be installed and people hold a weird grudge against it just for that.

But at the same time there are more distros oferring pretty much the same, i.e. your own arch.

I think you’d want to take a look at the QtCurve application style

OpenBSD people and those who don’t like “bloat” seem to like DEs like CDE.

Hence the slash in between gallop and triplet

The slash could be interpreted as they both are interchangeable terms, which they are not. And even at full speed maybe they can’t be differenciated by a novice ear but however they can be felt differently

Akshually 🤓👆 those are not triplets. A triplet is when you divide a measure in three notes of the same duration, but those in metal (the “gallops”) are three notes played out of four in a given time

At my uni they go to the extreme where not only one gets around 20-30 mails DAILY but now to go check your email, which is gmail-based, it hops first into a Cloudflare human verification page that you can never pass in Falkon because it keeps looping after you check the human verification

And Ford beat the entire world into a 48h workweek

I update Portage almost daily but do the actual package updating kind of every week - it depends on how many packages are (or how big they are) to be updated

I have a picture with one of my dogs. He’s very cute. But there must be something going on with me as I never got any single match. Pretty sure he’d get many matches, though

A few days ago I saw a post on c/opensource@lemmy.ml about “an alternarive to KDE Connect”, and the rationale to wanting “an alternative to KDE Connect” was that it “makes you download a lot of other software that you don’t really need”. Which it’s just the required Qt stuff. imho that’s plain ridiculous.

Given the high upvote count you can guess people just think about GTK as the default and every other toolkit as “software you don’t really need”.

I don’t think so but it seems you two are mixing Android and AOSP.

Android is owned by Google. AOSP is not.

I might be wrong on this but it seems to me they’re replacing in Android, the OS shipped with many smartphones, parts that have open licenses, i.e. parts from AOSP. Like they are replacing open parts of code with privative parts of code.

Uhm, what?

Wayland has been in the works for more than a decade. Granted, there’s some people having issues with it, with propietary hardware (nVidia) and not-so-common setups like two monitors, but it happens that they are the most noisy. For the rest of us it’s been great, stable, and feels snappier than X.

If you want to talk about shoehorning stuff into Debian, talk about systemd.

Dude got to celebrate that KOM descent with wine. Absolute Chad.

Imho riding in light rain is great. Breathing is better, cars go slower, less people, it can be relaxing too.

The only “it sucks” part is having to wash the bike afterwards
