  • What XMPP clients do you like and why?

  • I miss KDE Telepathy, and the Empathy framework, and that dream that we could have had IM fully and seamlessly integrated in our desktop environments.

    Fuck Whatsapp. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck Zuckerberg. Mainstream IM of today is complete shit.

  • I don't want to move to systemd, I'm happy with OpenRC. And I hope this move doesn't force systemd on those of us using Linux and KDE.

    That being said some devs (Gentoo devs?) cherry-picked some tiny parts from systemd and made packages for those parts so that when you want to install something with a hard dependency on systemd but you're using another init system (like Gentoo's default OpenRC) you will be fine without actually installing the whole systemd thing.

    Maybe the FreeBSD folks can think of something similar, but I don't know. Last time I looked when there was no official efforts from KDE to bring it to FreeBSD they bitched about it because it was "bloat".

  • "A Windows themed Linux distribution" can't really be "Windows themed" without some closed-source blobs and maybe even some backdoors sparkled here and there

  • What's your go to simple desktop photo editor (a la snapseed)?

  • When it's not that small I use another one of KDE, showfoto

  • TIL physics can only describe 5% of our universe. The rest is a mystery and something called "dark matter". Over 3,000 scientists are working together to produce dark matter

  • macOS Tahoe icons do what Apple said designers should never do

    Jump

  • That's the actual issue. There are some people that are led by icomography. i.e. I don't have bad near-sight vision so I won'nt need icons, but I happen to be trying to learn german and set my phone in german, so it's a good clue when things are appropiately labeled with an icon so I don't get lost and still can learn about how something is named in german.

    All in all if you don't want all those icons then there should be a setting to hide all but the most important ones - or all icons regardless.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure people who use MMB do know that it uses one of the two clipboards in Linux. Hence the reason they use it.

    That being said, I find baffling that they are not setting this as an optional feature but just outright disabling it.

  • YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.

    Jump

  • It happens with almost any latin american community in the USA. It happens with almost latin american community on internet.

    For example, r/Colombia or r/Bogota are huge echo chambers of daddys's boys, neoliberals and even cardboard-colored neonazis who don't have a grasp about the complexities of the country and seem to live in a bubble. i.e. they make fun of people who don't have Netflix... on a Country where less than 50% of people have internet access, not everyone has a TV and there are places where you only can tune a couple of AM radio stations.

    Pretty sure something similar happens with almost every latin american country community on the internet or in a so-called "first world" country.

    That being said, some Venezuelans deny criminal organizations like "Tren de Aragua" are real or that venezuelans are running them, be Maduro supporters or not. But they're real and are extorting and killing people in other countries in Latin America. This is not to say every venezuelan is a criminal, but not every venezuelan is a saint.

    Our countries' reality is way, way more complex than people in the USA realize.

  • Us nerds using Linux with our old machines raging against the system slowly gaining market-share.

    I swear the majority of us nerds using Linux have pretty new and powerful machines - sadly that hasn't ever been my case, though, but in online forums, Lemmy, Reddit, and what have you it feels like people interacting have pretty cool hardware.

  • I saw like the first couple minutes of that video, but if I recall correctly the <(thing) bit creates a temporary file in /proc so you can use it right away with your command, in the example you gave, with ls

  • I agree with some comments at HN about that proposing an alternative is kinda pointless. D-Bus, contrary to the X situation, can be fixed.

  • Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days

  • 5 downvotes are absolutely nothing compared to that level of idiocy.

  • Some people love whatever Mac/Windows does in UI for some reason. Most popular and downloaded themes on opendesktop.org are almost always whatever that resembles Mac/Windows for this reason.

  • Linux Kernel 6.19 Will Introduce the Terminus 10x18 Console Bitmap Font

    Jump

  • This made me remember that one time several years ago when I was wondering if there was any way to change that font and learned there was some sort of service that allowed you to do that in boot time, but the downside was that there was some sort of what it's known at frontend web development as "FOUT" (flash of unstyled text) and you could avoid that by converting your .pcf font to C code and patch it into the kernel code, but at that point I gave up.

  • Im sorta a computer hoarder but what can i do with some older desktops?

  • Pretty sure there should be some nonprofit that will gladly get and assemble them so i.e. children on remote places can have a computer.

  • That's an insult to six-year-olders. They are learning constantly and they don't shit their pants.
