Consider the scenario where you meet a man. You know his name is Bradley (either through mutual friends or whatever), but he introduces himself as Alex. You can call him Bradley, and it would be technically correct, but it would be slightly rude when he has explicitly given his preferred name as Alex.

In the TikTok video, no, but in the BlueSky video, he mentions he voted for Trump. Although, your point most likely still stands, because he doesn’t place blame.

Correct. Unfortunately, it’s something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it’s copying to where.

This is the system settings application for the KDE desktop environment.

Literally yes. And you don’t even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.

Edit: Here are the problems with you “Wayland isn’t good enough” people.

First, you don’t use Wayland, so you don’t even know if it’s fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.

Second, Wayland won’t get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?

Not sure if you’re a troll, but if you’re serious, nothing I say is going to change your mind, so I won’t bother.

If you’re using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click “Apply Plasma Settings…”

If you’re using X11, it looks like you’ll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

I mean. I can’t because I defederated from Threads. But neat, I guess.

This is dope, but I’ve been curious, what benefits are there to this? I know reproducibility can improve security by proving that the distro is delivering the packages they say they are, but is there anything else?

That work has already started with Fediseer. It’s not automatic, but it’s really easy, which is probably the best we’ll get for a while.

That sounds like the default GitHub boilerplate message, to be fair.

Step 3 is optional. mkinitcpio will just issue a warning, and any kernel packages you have installed should eventually update their presets.

In general, I agree, but it seems Mozilla is trying to do the right thing by AI. Offline translation is neat. And the Review Checker they just introduced uses AI to spot fake Amazon reviews. I think that’s pretty cool.

complexities of Distrobox

they unironically say in comparison to the arcane language of fucking Nix, lmao

In addition to what’s been mentioned, Bazzite also updates the kernel and graphics drivers more often than SteamOS, so yes, while things are slightly more likely to break every now and then, there are some decent performance gains to be had.

I love Bazzite, but I wish they would fix the no audio after wake on the OLED. I encountered it often while running the testing release, so I went back to SteamOS to wait for a stable release with the fix. Imagine my disappointment when they released a new stable version with the bug still present. :(

Just because you’ve never used “iced” doesn’t make it uncommon. “Iced tea” is very popular beverage in the American south, for instance.

It’s not that they didn’t know Starbucks secret code (“iced” is a common term to use for putting ice in any drink). It’s that they used alcohol code instead (“on the rocks” is a common term to use for putting ice in alcohol).

That’s actually a good point. I got banned in May, but the Discord shows no ban reports since June, so that’s definitely promising.

I’ve gotten banned using the same project for Honkai, so it’s not foolproof, unfortunately.
