oh interesting a Fedora based linux gaming distro. I kind had to dig around looking for articles what other distros there are. I wonder if it would be valuable to expose that more prominently
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

very good, this thing is one of the most interesting piece of hardware on the handheld market. Don't want to have to run Windows on it though 😫

PLEASE don't private message me, email me or whatever directly to ask for support about Linux stuff. I will ignore it. I don't do personal support for random people.

Go to a public place, ask your question and then people can help you.

i don’t even understand what causes an american to go “hey, my life would be better with a ute. they don’t sell them here so i will just buy some junk cars from the salvage auction and combine them into a working homemade ute.”
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰

is it “a ute?”

is it “an ute?”

can somebody from australia or south america where these things come from explain

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰

ironically while gassing up this monstrosity we saw an actually imported mitsubishi ute. sadly i did not grab a picture, but basically a ute is like a pickup truck but built on a passenger car platform, and they tend to be smaller than a pickup truck.
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰

Traditionally yes, it'd be something like this but as local car manufacturing has completely vanished you'll often hear people call things like a Hilux a ute, along with the more recent addition in our markets those giant US style pickup trucks like the F250.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

@BrodieOnLinux F250 isn’t even the stylish one, that’s the F150. the models above that are meant to be stripped down and customized as heavy equipment.
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰

I don't know these weird US trucks, I hate them, they don't fit in our car parks and always end up needing 2 spaces, the only point I was bringing up is nowadays basically anything with a bed is called a ute

Good to see Astronomy Picture of the Day still going strong after all these years.


This is such a cool video! Yes, it's about juggling, but it is even more about the history of animation and all the many times juggling was portrayed. Good fun!

Frontier Climate: A Bugreport
from @titipi

We don't need more software infrastructures.

We need to find ways to infrastructure and institute otherwise.

We need to end fossil fuel extraction now.

titipi.org/pub/Frontier-bugrep…

#DeCloudify #NetZeroNotZero #deinvest #endfossil



We report: have you noticed the extra two minutes-something of sunlight we got today? We counted the seconds. And now that it has given all it can, the sky is bruising on the horizon like an overripe fruit. Tomorrow, as we understand it: a little bit more of everything.

I have just made my first-ever contribution to KDE fixing a bug that affects me personally.

Thanks so much to @BrodieOnLinux, @justin, and a KWin dev for helping me get this far. As a legally blind person who relies on KWin's zoom feature to use a PC at all, it really means a lot.

MR: invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/m…

in reply to Justin

An issue fixed for me is an issue fixed for potentially hundreds of people who don't have the same voice I do. So I'm interested.

Just having the ability to highlight text and send it to something like speech-dispatcher would be helpful for me.

Also a Breeze OLED dark theme would be nice. Black backgrounds are always better than dark gray, but a traditional High Contrast theme is too much and too ugly for me.

in reply to Ritchie

I've asked in our Accessibility channel to see if we can find you a liaison that is happy to chat via Discord to make it easier for you. In the interim, I found this link which lists some of the issues we are facing for accessibility in KDE: invent.kde.org/teams/accessibi…

Some of the movie trailers shown during the Superb Owl game, including Deadpool and Wolverine, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Despicable Me 4, and The Fall Guy. They remade The Fall Guy? Oof. kottke.org/24/02/the-superb-ow…

wait, like Lee Majors fall guy? I loved that show!

Please don’t do a 21 jump street and make it a lowbrow comedy.

This Wayland Issue Will Get You Banned #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/IEGqZspZtfw
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I think "just let certain apps listen to certain keys" is absolutely the right way to do global shortcuts. It requires the apps to change nothing (and lets be real, a lot of apps are running in wine or xwayland, and are never going to implement a wayland protocol).
I also don't want my WM eating inputs, claiming that they are for a global keybind. If my PTT button is "control", i don't want it ONLY passed as a shortcut. I want it to behave normally, but also Discord can listen
in reply to Nick Bisby

@bisby It does the job pretty well, it's a touch annoying to setup but that's a config problem as opposed to a fundamental design issue.
