Funny. I didn't know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.
Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.
Depends on the license I suppose.
Taxis made their bed by being pieces of shit for a long time. No one will have any sympathy for their plight.
Most of the issue is that they're unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.
It'd be a great thing if it just worked.
Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?
Is there somewhere I can read/watch an explanation on what the .net ecosystem is. And hell what .net is ? I've been writing code in c# for years and Im still absolutely clueless about its ecosystem.
Nah, I wanna hear about bugs that have affected you that you can confirm are bugs :-)
I'm glad you asked. 5 seconds ago gnome froze and sent me back into the login screen and closed all the apps I had open. Ask me again in 20 seconds and I'm sure I'll have a different bug for ya.
I can forgive the lack of support. That comes with time and adoption.
What makes it bad for me is how buggy every single DE is.
It's weird to me how people(are they?) here bend over backwards to defend a monopolistic drm platform like steam.
I get gamers like their games. But come on.
I'd never admit it irl or to anyone I know because it's petty. But it bothers me when cs people refer to themselves as engineers.
Referring to themselves as scientists would seriously be a step past that.
maybe those of you that are lucky enough to have cool people in your lives should mention it?
Feels like the only two topics that get discussed here are Linux and neurodivergence.
I don't think most people I could suggest this place to would ever enjoy that.
"What would even be the use case for that?" - A Gnome dev probably.
The first mistake was liking a company.
I'm halfway through the book and rustlings and it's... Awkward so far.
Is it possible to become as productive with rust as one is with higher level languages?
Or should I stick to gc languages for domains where gcs make sense.
I was kinda hoping to make rust be my go to language for general purpose stuff.
It's there though? I've been trying it for a while and even the most popular rooms are just dead.
Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?
As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.
Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.
Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.
Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?
edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.
Is there a way to automatically turn on reader view mode for all websites that support it?
I end up manually clicking to turn it on anyway every time. Would love to automate it.
So, on pronouns.
I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me.
I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually tell them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ?
How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere?
And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him?
I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place?
I'd love some help with all of this.
Electronics eng student AMA and I'll answer honestly
Basically the title. I'm stressed out of my mind with finals and a billion reports go finish and I can't sleep. Talk to me Lemmy. I'm sad and stressed.
Oh. I'm 6/10 done if that helps.
Ever had a bad trip? Tell me about it.
I've never smoked and I've only done edibles once. And it was by and large the worst experience of my life. I literally walked to a corner in the kitchen sat down and asked people to not let me get up because I was having thoughts of throwing myself out of the window.
So I just sat there with my senses completely messed up. Hallucinating ( I don't think you are supposed to right? ) and completely trapped in a trip I did not want to be in and wondering if I died and gone to hell and that's how my brain was coping with dying.
So yeah. Not a good time.
I'm wondering what everyone else's experience is.
And is it luck that causes you to have a good or bad trip? Is it something we can influence ?
Scrolling smoothness
Hi I absolutely love the UI and how straight forward the app is.
But scrolling seems very choppy compared to sync on a pixel 7. Am I doing something wrong ? It's very very noticeable when scrolling throughout the main feed.
Are packages from flathub always safe?
I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?
Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?
I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it's just not good.
Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to.
How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It's just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time.
Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open?
I'd love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.
Can someone give me a good rundown on how to keep my accounts safe but also not locking myself out ?
So. I tried bitwarden for a while with 2fa. I absolutely did not realize that if you lose your 2fa you are done in that service. So yeah. Time to rebuild.
I'm attempting to go all in on proton stuff ATM. Drive, email, vpn and password manager.
What's the easiest way to set everything up in a way that the whole system is safe and that minimizes the chance of me locking myself out ?
Stuff like. Do I bother with 2fa? What are yubikeys. Are these the answer? Do I 2fa all.accounts other than the protonmail one ?
Long single use case passwords or memorizable ones ?
Do I do throwaway emails or everything signs up to my main one ?
Sorry if I overloaded questions. But id love go get insight from people with more experience.
Edit. And oh. Threat model.
Id love yo not lose accounts if someone physically steals one of my devices.
I'd love to not get hsckdd online by someone random that is not targeting me specifically
And in broad strokes. I'd like to keep all my accounts as private as possible from private companies and governments. But im flexible on this one if its too much hassle.
