COSMIC is early on enough that you’d probably be better off opening an issue on their GitHub, this is very likely a bug

Kirigami is built on top of Qt by KDE

To be fair, Linux isn’t developed on GitHub (it’s developed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List and kernel.org) and most of the spammers knew that going into it. The PRs on that repo were mostly just people trolling any bystanders that took it seriously until the internet did what they do best and took the joke too far.

In this specific example they didn’t waste anyone’s time or resources because it was never being used or monitored in the first place.

Edit for more additional context: Linus (who created git in the first place) mentioned not liking centralized git servers so he’s specifically said for multiple years that he never considered actually moving development over to something like GitHub

FeX is userland only though, I’m wondering how they’re getting it booting arch in the first place since arch doesn’t support ARM officially (Arch Linux ARM/alarm is a separate project that has had serious maintainership issues with their packages to the point where a lot of core packages break due to being partially out of date)

I know they said they’re using fex for x86 emulation but how far down does that go? AFAIK arch Linux doesn’t have official arm support yet (alarm exists but they’ve had a lot of problems keeping packages up to date) so I wonder if Valve is planning on helping with upstream arm support

Isn’t the content blocked because imgur refused to implement ID-based age verification so as a result they just blocked users in the UK? Or am I missing something else here

To be clear this was not a recommendation lol I completely agree with you

If you want to do both at the same time without knowing which side any given task will fall under use NixOS

That’s exactly my point. Giving away the exact town you live in to strangers on the Internet is not good advice to give people generically.

Maybe I could see country or even general region, but town?? Why would I want to publicly give away my location like that?

nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days

Does winboat have GPU support? Could be wrong but I was under the assumption that it works similarly to WinApps and can’t have GPU passthrough to the virtualized windows install under the hood

Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/

Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.

In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”

They haven’t released Android 16 QPR1 to AOSP yet, even though it came out on Pixels at the beginning of September. Normally the gap is ~1-2 days.

So yeah, a lot of custom rom devs are pretty bleak right now and honestly their concerns are pretty warranted given that it’s Google we’re talking about.

They forgot “CM” so this doesn’t work for any number that ends in 900s

That’s the thing though. If I’m going to need to be on-call tech support then Linux isn’t actually a better option then Windows. Sure it would be more private and less sucky but if the computer doesn’t actually work then that doesn’t mean anything. I’m willing to make ad-hoc workarounds to my own problems because I’m a software developer and don’t mind falling down a rabbit hole to get something like push-to-talk working with a custom pipewire script. My friends who want to play games and relax when they get home from work are understandably not willing to go through that hassle.

I’d love for Linux to be ready for daily driving but for most people I know it just isn’t. Maybe when Wayland desktops are more mature but I’m not going to make people choose between functioning shortcuts (X11) and functioning monitors (Wayland).

I could never get any of my friends on Linux (maybe I’ll be able to now that Windows 10 is dying) but I was able to get everyone on prism instantly because it’s just a better launcher than the official one in every possible way (it’s also on Windows and MacOS)

If it’s only for them then they shouldn’t mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷
