I think this might be fake. What’s that floating light in the background? And this thing has lighting built in? Why is there something like a bell floating behind it? What’s the source for this image?


Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2024/06/linu…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

So I guess this can be shortly described as ”this time we got above 2% naturally instead of artificially”

My nephew (who was about 8 at the time) said that a classmate wasn't acting normal. When asked what normal meant, he said, "Normal is when you're yourself."

My friend Jen has been writing a series for The Guardian about different ways to exercise. She is also a professional comedian. This is a fun article!

Never did Columbia House. Were they any good?


@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online apparently ungoogled chromium's flatpak icon had to be changed due to flathub policies. Maybe a video idea?

JFC. There is no way that I am sending my kid to a college campus that uses anything even remotely like this.

GNOME's Precarious Relationship With Ubuntu #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/33RBGNS5Elc
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Having looked at the patch at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/… it seems like a pretty reasonable thing to get put into a point release and as you indicated in the video, point releases in this case are not guarantees of the inclusion of only "bug fixes".

It was implemented in a matter that did not break ABI or backwards compatibility for libmutter ABI 14, so GNOME would still be in the right even if the argument centered around SemVer 2.0.0.

The code that enables the behavior, at least at a quick glance, seems like it would be trivial for Canonical to patch should they decide to be weird about keeping NVIDIA users on an LTS with what could be argued as a sub-optimal experience.

Basically two lines of code: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/…

At the end of the day though, I would not be surprised if Canonical just spent some extra engineering time and let it in once it has been validated.

in reply to Joshua Strobl

@me Not implementing it does seem pretty weird to me but Canonical will be Canonical

They dropped the price in PLN, when it was pointed out, that the Valve's default conversion ratio from EUR is too high: steamcommunity.com/app/1592280…

I bought it, but don't have time to play now. Having kids is quite limiting my gaming activity. I'm often more in the mood for Satisfactory or EuroTruck Simulator 2.




Telegram Channels have anonymous reactions, so cowards like to hide behind them.

People were repeatedly doing the puke, middle finger etc reactions on my Humble Pride article. So I removed them.

Pretty simple really, I don't put up with bigoted bullshit.

I don't talk a lot on mastodon usually, but as someone tangential to the queer community in a few ways, I'd like to thank you for standing up to this bullshit and doing what's in your power to fight the toxicity in the Linux community.

It really makes a difference!

I only watched the first 5 minutes because it’s not a topic of interest for me, but you are a really good speaker!


Once again: folks should probably consider switching to Firefox. Especially if you, I don't know, rely on ad-blocking to navigate our glutted-as-shit modern internet, for instance?

Would you please also make diptych ("magic eye") versions of these? I misplaced my red/green glasses more than a decade ago and I bet not many people keep them handy either!

If there is an intelligent species somewhere in our universe that experiences being overtaken by a new, more intelligent species, then their desperate slogans to reassure themselves of their own superiority will probably sound exactly the same.
