My favorite (not): The instances who find it more crucial to defederate from Threads than pedo and neonazi instances…

No but thanks to Microsoft’s incompetence, there’s no immediate danger of another Microsoft monopoly.

Regular Mint (not LMDE) adds to the Ubuntu market share. Also remixing a 3rd party distribution by adding custom repositories on top can cause incompatibilities. That is the reason why regular Mint uses only Ubuntu LTS as base.

I doubt they’ll win back many people that have already migrated to new tools.

Probably the developers who didn’t migrate away don’t care about the fee at all and the one who left would probably think something along the lines of “I learned a new engine and who’s to say they won’t pull the same shit again”.

• KDE Plasma has currently better upstream development (a side effect of Steam Deck) but the integration of KDE into Fedora is done by volunteers.
• Gnome is integrated into Fedora by Red Hat employees but upstream development lags a bit behind in adopting some newer technologies Red Hat isn’t that interested for RHEL.

I used Fedora in the past and found the KDE Spin a little less polished. I don’t know the current situation but there was a time Fedora KDE shipped out of the box with three web browsers because the volunteers couldn’t agree on one, whereas the RH employees just decided that they want Firefox and not Gnome Web for RHEL, so in Fedora they just did the same. Updates were rolled out in a timely manner (and I heard nothing that indicated anything changed in that regard), so the volunteer squad didn’t do a worse job there than the paid Gnome people.

Repeated bleaching makes the material brittle. Personally, I’d paint it or look for special decals.

That’s not how ActivityPub works.

You’re clearly someone who never contributed to open source.

Yeah, as if the authors had no idea what terms the license has…

Fallen god? Is the person who wrote this stupid? He’s always been a liar and conman.

Sounds like the comparison with religion is apt als religion is also lies by conmen.

I hope it evades the eye of sauron that is Nintendo’s lawyers

…until they do.

Spoiler: if you don’t advertise at all, people won’t play your game

Also:

You’re calling Jason Schrier, a dumb author. He is one of, if not the most respected games journalists in the industry.

But he’s also the “Switch Pro tonight” guy.

An old (now decommissioned) notebook of mine had a broken headphone jack. I didn’t have BT headphones then. Audio output worked technically but the detection whether headphones were plugged in or not did no longer work.

I wrote a very short amixer script to force unmute the jack, set the volume to 50 or so percent and set the speaker volume to 0% but not “mute” state. I could then use my wired headphones again.

I get needing more space for certain workflows but if fonts are blurry on 1080p at 100% there’s something wrong with your setup. Misconfigured font renderer or so. Configure your FreeType to set font smoothing to sharp and hinting to slight. If your distribution has other defaults, file a bug report with them. Back in the day when screens had a lower pixel density (I had 15" 720p once), FreeType might have been configured “smoother” because it would match print output closer.

Seems this was already posted here by a different source. Deleting the dupe.

Would you mind sending that email to the millions of devs around the world?

Yes, I mind. For Qt5 applications, basic HiDPI support can be patched in with a single line. I actually did that for a handful of applications, tested them, and then submitted pull requests on Github. I cannot program, so all I could do is to copy and paste that one line from the Qt documentation. It’s not much but I already did my part.

I am once again begging Framework to just give us a damn regular DPI display that works!

Bottom Skinner is right, though. It’s 2024. HiDPI has to be supported by all toolkits, desktops, and applications at this point. There are no excuses. Even 1080p on a 14" laptop screen warrants 125% scaling, IMO.

This is not how the law works in the US.

And yet that seems to be what AMD claim happened. Feel free to distribute the last commit before the takedown and take AMD to court over that matter. In all honesty, I wish you the best of luck. I don’t like AMD’s behavior either.
