@light thanks for explaining this. On the app GUI they only offer the plc option. I can understand it as an attempt to walk the line between laying decentralized groundwork but also making the onramps as accessible as possible.

This list of people as regulators is literally the definition of Crony Capitalism lol


Remember how Winamp recently said they’re opening the source code “enabling the entire community to participate in its development”.

Well…

Why would people bother to contribute then? Open source licenses exist for a reason.





I learned a lot from this great talk by Glen Coulthard on third-fourth-world solidarity: cbc.ca/radio/ideas/dene-self-d…

The role of Israel-Palestine conflict in shaping the 1970s stuggles—what a rhyme.



To illustrate just how utterly boneheaded #GNOME UI design has become, I present you with Geary.

  1. This is the minimum size of the window. If I make it any narrower, the email portion will disappear and the email list will expand to cover the entire area.
  2. But! You say, you can use the column dividers, to resize the individual columns, right? Nope, the GNOME/Geary people think you should not be able to resize the columns manually like you could before. No explanation, just fuck you.
  3. So. Much. Whitespace. The amount of whitespace wasted in Geary is absolutely batshit insane. This window could present the same amount of information while taking up half the screenspace and still be 100% clear and usable.
  4. Related to 3, no options to change density or other options to reduce this whitespace hellscape.

This one fucking email client takes up nearly my entire 2x 4K display. I can't believe we let these people define the 'default' Linux desktop and let them get away with it.

@TheEvilSkeleton There is a middle ground between 0 choice and emacs and a standard email client feature seems much closer to the former than the latter
in reply to Brodie Robertson

@BrodieOnLinux @TheEvilSkeleton
*Laughs in Evolution*

But really, to be fair, half of Geary's current UI layout problems are due to being still GTK3+libhandy instead of GTK4+libadwaita, where there is the notion of formfactor breakpoints implemented better, AFAIU.

"Epic's proposed remedies are bad for everyone but Epic"

Oh really Google, lol of course you would say that.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

read through that whole blog, just obvious PR speak for "We don't want to relinquish our control over Android app distribution, and here's why."
Methinks they might pull a page from Apple's playbook, and enforce their security and safety "concerns" at the OS level. Not good.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I mean, we're not talking about some good vs evil here, so I can imagine that what Epic demands would benefit mainly Epic.

The point of solar panels is not to ensure "solar profitability," but to make for a greener, better world. Its profitability is only justified insofar as it moves us towards that goal. If we want to switch to renewables, then sometimes we're going to have surplus, because of how renewables work. This is well known and discussed ad nauseam. If that makes power markets unstable, then the problem is with markets, not with there being too many solar panels.

Spent most of the week at the Cold Spring Harbor Meeting on Retroviruses. This was the first big meeting I attended many decades ago as 2nd year graduate student, and returned many times since, although not in recent years. The humidity was surprisingly not terrible.
