Libadwaita: splitting GTK and design language

There's no denying that not everyone is happy with the state of the GTK world, and I, too, have argued that GNOME's massive presence and seeming unwillingness to cooperate with or even consider the existence of other GTK-based desktop environments is doing real, measurable harm to the likes of Xfce, Cinnamon, and others. A major root cause is a feeli

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot of money for you!)

Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy wizardzines.com/zines/git/

(it'll ask you for a billing address but you can enter a fake address if you'd prefer)

I was going to post “the 1000 free copies of How Git Works for folks who can't afford it have all been claimed, I'll release more when we sell 2000 copies"

But then I went to check this morning and we've already sold 2000 copies of the zine??? So I guess we're giving away another 1000 copies now. wizardzines.com/zines/git/

I hate Zotac, their RMA in Brazil is garbage and has multiple times violated local consumer law. In addition, their staff is the rudest I have ever seen. I won't pick up a zotac product if I find it for free
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

All of these gaming handheld manufacturers choosing to use Windows makes me think they are not simply ignoring that Linux exists.

I really think it might be (at least in part) because they lack the technical expertise to support a Linux-powered handheld like the Steam Deck.

Valve, on the other hand, had nearly a decade's worth of experience working on Linux before they successfully released the Steam Deck — unlike their previous attempt with the Steam Machines.

There's no good way to prevent AI models from being trained on art published on the fediverse. But there's work we can do to prevent it and protect the artists who post there. #fediverse werd.io/2024/protecting-artist…
in reply to Ben Werdmuller

I don't think this is something where looking for a technical solution makes sense. It should be illegal for AI crawlers to collect unlicensed training material, rather than requiring every website to keep up with an every growing list of AI crawlers that are free to ignore robots.txt.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron It should be, and maybe it even is, but until someone actually stops them from doing it, the problem persists. Some lightweight protections feel important in that context.

I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

apologies for saying this, but does that mean " To infinity, and beyond".

On another note, my second slr was a Pentax ME Super. Lovely camera.

Searching around for a few mins doesn't look like bspwm has a future. Development has stopped and I couldn't find any reference to a Wayland port.

Some of the emails I get are truly sad reflections of the complicated and rather sorry state of things we are in. Like this.

(also, apparently #curl is used in another popular game)

In case anyone tries to interact with the Freedesktop Gitlab and notices that it's not working, heads up a migration to Gitlab 17.0 is going on right now
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I was installing the latest `cosmic-epoch-git` update from the AUR and ran into a network issue when downloading from a Gitlab source 🙁


It’s weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Even more weird when one is a crypto start-up with a billion dollar valuation. And the other an under-funded non-profit in the Fediverse.

That’s the story of an unlikely couple: #Farcaster and #Newsmast.

Both built around channels, or communities. The success of Farcaster shows the potential in the #Fediverse.

blog-pat.ch/an-unlikely-couple…

#SocialMedia

in reply to Michael Foster

the similarities are there (though I think the basic idea is very similar to, say, FB groups and subreddits). But more important, it seems to me, are the differences. In Farcaster, everything from storage to content to channel creation are financialized.

As with crypto vs. open source in general, it's a question of whether making the economic layer explicit will attract or repel people.
