Are you saying that people living in democratic countries are not responsible for the actions of their elected officials?

I honestly did not expect Starfield to have actual flyable spaceships and vehicles. That was a pleasant surprise, so Bethesda evidently has not stagnated completely. The problem is Starfield has issues with many other game elements (like loading screens, mediocre worldbuilding, etc). Also the fact that it was simply a game in a different genre than previous Bethesda games didn’t help. People expected a handcrafted open world a la Fallout 4 but got a kind-of-procedurally generated sandbox.

Admins are communists of a Soviet (leninist/stalinist) flavor so many people have an ideological beef with them.

Gimp devs will have to port it to Gtk 4 before rewriting it in Rust, because Rust Gtk 3 bindings are now obsolete lol.

There is also Ladybird browser that IIRC already has a more complete web standards implementation than Servo despite being a much younger project. Though it’s still far from being ready and performance is really bad. But so far it seems that it’s going to outpace Servo.

For me in Plasma 6.3.2 it has noticably different font rendering compared to 100% scale with increased font size. Text looks thinner than it normally should. It’s probably the consequence of downscaling.

Too bad fractional scaling is still not universally supported. In Firefox it’s buggy and disabled by default (and pretty much abandoned), and using default compat mode (when app is rendered at nearest greater integer factor and then downscaled by compositor) has some strange font rendering issues and potentially worse performance (on 4K monitor the resolution Firefox would be rendering itself would be humongous).

Thankfully in my case I can just increase font size and it works much better than with fractional scaling.

This for whatever doesn’t work on openSUSE Tumbleweed, last time I checked.

Are they going to ethically source materials and production

Why would they do that?

He will call Putin a “smart guy” and “advise” Ukraine to agree to all Russian demands.

Pagination is still compatible with infinite scrolling, in fact it is probably already loaded in pages, they are just displayed together. Restoring current position is a bit more complicated than with separately displayed pages but still possible (though probably not when fully reloading page? IDK how it works on web).

You are right that social media want to show you “new” stuff and thus deliberately don’t remember scroll position. However there are technical challenges here too. How do you reliably implement pagination if the order of posts can change at any moment or new posts can be added or removed in the middle of the list (which happens when they are sorted by score, or using some other more sophisticated algorithm)? You can save only the “current” post’s id, but then after restoring position the posts around it would be different because the algorithm had reodered them. The only way it can work as you expect is when there is no algorithm at all and posts are always sorted by submission time.

All POSIX compatible shells have their quirks and differences because the common POSIX part is rather small, so you will need to learn them anyway when switching from one to another. Fish is not that different from them (to much less extent than something like nushell) and it benefits from having less ancient baggage.

If a messaging service requires a phone number then it’s not “secure” lol.

I combine it with blocking users. Political communities are blocked entirely, and then users who post irrelevant political crap in non-political communities are blocked individually.

Independent browser engine developers have a say in how web standards evolve. their influence is limited of course, but they use it to keep web open. Google have long been trying to integrate more “advanced” advertisement and data collection technologies directly in web browsers (including imposing it on non-Chromium browser through “open” web standards).

The moment Google has full control of technologies involved they will do everything in their power to make ad blockers technically impossible (or at least extremely complicated and inefficient) and data collection mandatory, integrated directly in Chromium. And they will do so in such a way that most websites will simply not work on Chromium forks with these “features” disabled, so everyone will be forced to comply.

IIRC this extension just doesn’t work in Flatpak. You need to use Firefox outside of the sandbox, installed via package manager or official build from Mozilla.

Are you saying that not all bourgeois are the same?

Space exploration has always been at mercy of politicians, especially manned spaceflight. It’s only recently we’ve got a long-term space station used for real research, and it’s about to be decommissioned because there is no political clout to be gained from sending humans to low Earth orbit anymore. Unlike planting a flag on Moon or Mars for which politicians are willing to spend trillions (but which has dubious scientific value).

Automatic probes are the only real future for space exploration because they are much cheaper than manned space programs (and thus easier to fund) and you can send them farther.

Haven’t used GNOME for a while, but I guess that’s a problem of open source projects in general. Though GNOME at least has Red Hat behind it.

I don’t think Fedora has a “stable” channel. It has “testing” repo from which updates are pushed to “updates” repo after approval, and that’s it. My understanding is that ublue’s “latest” channel follows Fedora’s “updates”, while “stable” seems to update weekly (though it’s unclear what happens if a package update arrives in Fedora just before “stable” image is about to be built)
