Heh, hadn’t seen KDE like this in ages, it’s been a while

In that line, is there an open standards, no Google required answer to the Chromecast?
Well, you’re on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working
Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it
We’re seeing the fallout from a commercial service used for public interest communication falling in real time with Twitter, so many public service things that depended or still depend on Twitter have outright broke as it turns into raw sewage and people flee it. That should have NEVER been the main communications medium, and now the price is being paid. I understand as i too am in a place where WhatsApp is near-mandatory, but this is something that WILL have bad consequences sooner or later.
I didn’t knew about lsof -i, noted
Great! Must have missed the announcement as usual but no matter, looking forward to it!
Except there’s recent examples, and it’s in the docs (On the “ideologically motivated changes” point at the end), this is established
There is, and there always will be issues, this is not going to change, much less in Linux where the hardware manufacturers are many, many times offering zero help and less documentation, but they pass, they’re fixed, and things advance and improve all the time. This happens in every OS. However we’re almost certainly safe here from changes done just for the sake of profit (with extremely rare exceptions which get fought back by the community, I’m looking at you, Canonical!), so I’d say we’re MUCH better off on this side of the fence.
I have no desire to interact with the hallucinating plagiarism machines if i can help it, that’s why i asked PEOPLE, who have actually used the software i ask about
Even from the “all your eggs in one basket” kind of perspective it does feel worrisome, not to mention that i am unsure about this dilution of their focus on many apps being helpful, I’d rather have them focus on very few but rock solid and maintained services instead of going with the Google “we do everything” way to do things
On the Reddit thread people, at least one of them tagged as a KDE dev, mentions that widgets NEED to be able to run arbitrary code. I am absolutely baffled by this.
That doesn’t seem to be FOSS, i see no code, at a glance it looks like another closed, VC-backed commercial platform unless i missed something
A good idea i have been spreading around relevant people lately is to use ShellCheck as you code in Bash, integrate it in your workflow, editor or IDE as relevant to you (there’s a commandline tool as well as being available for editors in various forms), and pass your scripts through it, trying to get the warnings to go away. That should fix many obvious errors and clean up your code a bit.
So, let me see if i understand the argument: Discord, a piece of closed source software which is very popular at the moment because they hit first (user inertia) and haven’t yet ramped up the enshittification (but sooner or later will because they already announced the intention to go the IPO route), wins over free software alternatives because of a 100% unofficial bot designed to help with one tiny niche user case most users of the platform haven’t even heard about, which is itself free software and therefore could be migrated and/or adapted to other free software?
I’m not sure the argument is very solid
Many years late, and still requires having your number. Good first step though, we’ll see once a phone number is not required.
Pretty much this, they don’t deserve hate but i won’t recommend them either
The new organization is at https://github.com/FossifyX. For now all the apps have updates disabled, i’m quite open to alternatives for all EXCEPT Gallery, so i hope the fork goes well, at least from the discussions it looks like it’s off to a decent start.
Of note, the apps on FDroid are still uncrapped so you can still take them from there.
Okay, i chuckled at this one
