I’ve been running fish from the development branch for about a year, and I’m happy to say that nothing about it feels like it’s beta. It’s rock-solid (IMO) and my favorite shell 🐟

Oh yeah. Small text is a fair point, and one that I hadn’t considered.

I’m just trying to get a decent framerate for my 3D platformers and horror games and the Deck isn’t exactly impressing me at 800p 😭

Yeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.

1080p is a terrible way to “upgrade” your Steam Deck.

lol. I don’t like systemd, but this is just a modified version of the GNU/Linux copypasta. It’s just a light-hearted jab at the fact that systemd does so many things on Linux systems that it’s almost as important as the kernel and GNU utils.

I don’t actually know much about Poettering, so not much to say in that regard.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as systemd, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd services, journald and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Poettering.

Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init service, developed by Lennart Poettering.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. Linux is normally used in combination with systemd: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

Unfortunately, no, but you can get kind of close for Debian distros with LURE.

EDIT: Apparently LURE is supposed to be distro-agnostic, so it’d probably work for EL too.

Arch really does have the most straightforward packaging system. Can you write a Bash script? Cool. You can package your application for Arch very easily.

I just hate snaps because they’re dogshit and don’t fucking work.

I made the unfortunate mistake of doing sudo apt install docker dotnet -y on a dev machine, thinking that I was going to get correctly packaged deb installations of those two tools.

After about two hours of having neither fucking tool work, I found that Canonical highjacked the deb installation with their shitty snap packages, which didn’t fucking work thanks to the shit sandboxing that snap tries to do.

Don’t fucking waste your time with Ubuntu. It’s an actual liability.

I just desperately want more new games like Crash, Spyro, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, etc. 😭

The only thing we’ve gotten in the decades since then was A Hat in Time, which was absolutely terrific, but the lack of other good games in this genre pretty much killed gaming as a hobby for me.

Perhaps Kent could maybe follow the contributing guidelines instead of being an obstinate child???

Espanso can do way more than just that, but it has a clipboard backend that you can use.

The closest that you can get is using something like Grayjay, where they have their own social media system, but your comments will only be interactable to other people using Grayjay.

It didn’t help that democrats had a hard-right pivot by laundering the racist “border crisis” narrative and didn’t propose any progressive alternative narratives to anything else.

The desktop app can be used as a bridge for biometrics in the browser extension, but other than that, it basically serves no unique purpose unless and until they add autofill for desktop applications.

Totally fair. I’m curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.

Is the a downside to repacking the deb package? They’re basically just zip files of the same binary you’d run on most other Linux distros.

SmartTubeNext is is the good (no ads) version of YouTube for AndroidTV devices.

It’s a temporary ban. That is less of a consequence than what you’d face for airing a little too much copyrighted content or something, except for saying shit that could have come from Hitler’s mouth.

I started disabling JavaScript by default with uBlock Origin a few months ago. I am surprised to report that a bunch of sites work fine without JavaScript.

There are definitely some sites that actually need it, and for those, it’s just one click to permanently allow for that site. But most of the sites I need work better with just CSS and HTML because there are no stupid nags or social media sign-in buttons that pop-up anymore.
