Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:

• being a lot of babysitting / manual work
• blocking a lot of humans
• not being robust against scrapers

Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that!

Makes sense though. Vim plugins exist so anything is possible. Neovim having native support for LSP and DAP makes it a lot easier though.

Do you mean Neovim?

Surely you aren’t comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?

NixOS - Queer kid who gets 10/10 at every written test, but stutters so badly that they can’t do anything when asked to improvise in front of class or at speaking tests.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Distribution and user theming is also significantly improved over GTK with programmatic generation of themes—automatically adapting colors at runtime to the most ideal contrasting color values via OKLCH and other related algorithms—which distributions can use to customize to their preferred branding, and app developers can freely adopt without needing to worry about user themes breaking their apps. Users also get the convenience of generating their own custom themes with COSMIC Settings, even if that means creating an abomination of conflicting colors.

I’ve themed my 22.04 install to death – literally – as one would expect from a first Linux install. I’ve been clicking through multiple GUIs where only the checkboxes, dropdowns and radio buttons showed, zero labels or descriptions. Most recently the Raspberry Pi Imager.

They initially made a GNOME extension that contained their theming and an (optional) tiling for windows. Also some GTK apps, such as their app store frontend.

I still use it daily on my gaming pc (Pop!_OS 22.04) and it sucks. Slow, unresponsive, janky. And this is an extension that they had been maintaining for years. Apparently GNOME devs don’t really consider extension developers and it was like building on quicksand for the Pop team.

For better or worse, they made a decision to build their own fast, responsive COSMIC DE due to these frustrations with GNOME.

I am still on the old 22.04 with GNOME, but already started using the new COSMIC Store app GUI last year.

It is a HUGE leap from the old Pop!_Store and feels great.

The rest of the DE is probably not ready yet, otherwise they wouldn’t call it Alpha.

Oh and apparently they’ve made it really easy to brand the whole desktop env and are hoping for more orgs and companies to adopt it.

Based on Ubuntu, so: also Debian

Check the sidebar.

It’s about self-hostable alternatives to closed online software. It doesn’t say anywhere that the hardware has to be in your own home, just that it is about self-hostable software.

Similarly, !selfhosting@slrpnk.net is about self-hosting services, the hardware part is (even with the slrpnk folk) only a prefetence.

So feel free to discuss hosting your own services on a VPS here

I would strongly recommend not to dive into NixOS yet.

It has its benefits and I think it’s awesome, but it has a bit of a learning curve and you already have plenty of learning to do with going mouseless and the whole interface stuff. You do not want to deal withbreakages in unstable NixOS, or broken Nvidia drivers in stable.

If Bazzite’s immutability is holding you back, just switch to another distro you are familiar with: Be that Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, whatever.

Hyprland is the most complete and configurable tiling window manager today, so definitely start with that. You can install it in any Linux distro.

Of course we all have our preferences and personal history with these things, but I think we can all agree that most preconfigured Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE ISOs with popular desktops are already more sensible and simple than the mess that is “searching for a setting in Windows”.

Whether it’s GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Mate, XFCE, LXQt.

Compared to Windows, every Linux desktop is a blessing. Even that one that you personally don’t like or had a bad experience with.

Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.

Good point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

• no technical expertise
• is not in charge
• does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄

We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.

Yeah that’s the whole Enterprise LTS issue. RHEL is the same, as is Ubuntu after a literal decade of LTS support.

I am so happy that we have podman in RHEL 8. Rootless podman containers with distrobox are a godsend in these software geography dig sites that have to pass for a workshop.

The time between “start integrating” for an Ubuntu release and the actual Ubuntu release, is typically a full kernel release cycle IIRC. It takes months before it is actually released. Once it’s in your daily driver, it won’t be a release candidate kernel anymore.

Not supporting a newly bought modern computer out of the box is pretty bad for an OS that claims to be accessible and easy to use. So I understand the shift.

I trust their testing process is adequate to ensure stability at release.

And since we’re on the topic, if we’re borrowing things from Android I would love to have the application sandboxing and permissions. I think they’d be a much bigger benefit – to all distros, immutable or not.

Flatpaks and Wayland should fill out this part nicely.
