That’s definitely wrong. You should follow danielle’s mastodon, she’s working on elementary all the time.

Fdroid only gained the ability to auto update apps a while ago, so that’s why you got that prompt.

Also, if the permissions an app requests change, fdroid can’t always auto-update it.

You need to be able to have multiple nodes in one LAN access ports on each others’ containers without exposing those to the world and without using additional firewalls in front of the nodes.

That’s why kubernetes ended up removing docker support and instead recommends podman or using containerd natively.

There’s no alternative for 0.0.0.0 and a firewall if you’re e.g. using kubernetes.

That assumes you’re on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.

Often enough you’re on a dedicated server that’s directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.

What you’re describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that’s mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.

Don’t SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it’d help in your situation, where you’re stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.

Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.

So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?

I’m a software dev as well.

But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I’m working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I’m working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I’ve also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib’s source.

Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib’s source, and the browser with the lib’s documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.

But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.

Why’d you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.

Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.

I tried that, but IMO it’s much simpler and more robust to just configure KDE than to install a dozen Gnome extensions that end up broken after updates anyway.

Unless you’re writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you’ll run into Gnome’s limitations when working.

Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you’ve got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.

When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I’m a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include “everything ad-free”. And there’s no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

With that, the Germans will have finally won /s

Cloudflare actually had to disable them because someone managed to automate them with AI too.

Sure, it’d be a solution for five minutes until someone delids the secure enclave on the gaming card, extracts the keys, and builds their own open source hw alternative.

High-performance FPGAs are actually relatively cheap if you take apart broken elgato/bmd capture cards, just a pain in the butt to reball and solder them. But possibly the cheapest way to be able to emulate any chip you could want.

Element has the same costs as Signal. So far, Element has been lucky in being able to raise money by selling support contracts to governments or companies using Matrix, but even that isn’t enough, which is why Element has been raising money for the Matrix Foundation for almost a year now (with little success).

Even if it’s blocked for the average user, it’d still be awesome if we could circumvent it with adb. I’ve used KDE Connect to access my phone remotely for a long time, and now that feature is useless.

The big issue I see with YouTube premium (though I’m a paid subscriber) is that the bitrate is still far too low. Vimeo provided much better quality a decade ago for paid users and so do Nebula, Floatplane and all the other competing sites nowadays
