Bad news. It gets stuck in my head and I can't just "dismiss" it like NTs seem able to do.

Bro opening his ad with a story like a cooking recipie.

But yeah, iirc KeepassX is the gold standard for this type of thing, right?

Adorable! I think it came out really good.

TBF, they could probably make the "releases" page more prominent rather than having it buried in all the "code" stuff.

They 100% would stop you if they could.

It's why Google's website DRM thing was so scary.

Anyone interested, there's a colony sim game named Timberborn where you play as beavers. Unsurprisingly, this comic gets posted there every few weeks. :P

Personally, I think that the discussion around this will evolve as the news spreads, but I agree with Robert on this one. Sure, X/Twitter has become a less welcoming place than before, but shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn't a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.

Nah, I think I'm cool if Debian doesn't respect the input of Nazi sympathisers.

Programs running graphically (Firefox, your file browser, etc.) need a way to tell the system "draw these pixels here". That's what the display server does; it takes all these applications, works out where their windows are and manages that pixel data.

XOrg has historically been the display server in common use, but it's very old and very cobbled together. It generally struggles with "modern" things that must people expect today. Multimonitor setups, vsync, hdr and all that. They work, but support is hacked together and brittle.

Wayland is a replacement for XOrg that was designed from scratch to fix a lot of these issues. But it's been an uphill battle because XOrg is the final boss of legacy codebases.

tl;dr They're both software that manages drawing pixels from applications to the display.

For the lazy:

  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Vaultwarden / Bitwarden
  • Uptime Kuma
  • AdGuard Home
  • Homepage
  • Monica
  • changedetection.io

Seems a decent selection.

Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

I agree there's a lot of problems with unpaid internships and work and such, but I don't think this is that bad?

It feels like "hey, if you really like our product and want to show it off, we can send you information and merch, and put you in touch with higher ups."

I'd complain if Microsoft or Google started doing this, because they are huge megacorps with deep pockets, but Framework seems like a small company that can't really afford huge marketing departments. If people want to devote their time to a cause they beleive in, more power to them.

They also aren't doing it with the promise or threat of something, which is an issue with a lot of unpaid work. The people they're targeting know exactly what they are getting into, and that they are doing it for their own reasons.

You know, I do wonder how many of these statistics are influenced by Linux users tendancy to use adblockers and block tracking. Linux could be more popular than it looks.

Also, they should tell us how much of that increase is due to the Steam Deck. :P

If you're missing deadlines and getting customer complaints because of a new hire, that's a failure in management, imo.

(Of course, that's not saying management will take responsibility)

Don't humans have the ability to fuck everything? It's why half elves and half orcs exist, but no non-human hybrids.

I like flatpaks and flathub, but this is just something they do badly. I think as well they also have "probably safe" which is just as unhelpful... And what does "access certain files and folders" even mean!?

I think they should just follow the example of every other app store; list the permissions in an easily understandable list and let the user decide whether or not they are comfortable with it.

If moving to another language erases 15 years of experience, you probably don't have a good grasp on the fundamentals...

"I hate systemd, it's bloated and overengineered" people stay, perched precariously on their huge tower of shell scripts and cron jobs.

A pile of HTML + JS is the only cross platform GUI toolkit that's practical to deploy.

I'm not really happy about it myself, but realistically there's not any other option than just bundling a website into a wrapper.

And to pre-empt any replies; your proposed solution must support Windows, Linux (X11 and Wayland), MacOS, iPhone, Android, Chromium and Firefox.
