Nope, no clipboard manager. There’s a nice extension called pano with a bunch of ridiculous dependencies that’s loaded with features. The one built into KDE is good enough for me. GNOME looks great, but it’s just so damn frustrating to use.

100%. The damage that has been done in just the past several months is unthinkable. It’s not going back to the old ways any time soon, if ever. The democratic republic experiment might even be over at this point. I’m beginning to believe th

Of course they do. The SR-71 was built with Russian titanium that the Russians believed was going to be used in pizza ovens. There’s no reason to think schemes like that ever stopped. Or that that was the first time. My guess is most countr

GNOME. You have to install an extension to get a dock at all. Almost nobody runs vanilla GNOME because it's missing basic things. They refuse to have a system tray. I don't particularly like the system tray, but that doesn't

This seems more like the deal where Microsoft invested in Apple. It’s basically charity and they will flip it in a few years when Intel gets back on their feet.

I wonder if the license fee will be based on the number of followers. I hope it’s based on real engagement. I don’t want to pay just because a bunch of bots are following me. /s

I don’t want either of them, but credit where credit is due. China is doing well as a country and the standard of living has increased even if it’s under an authoritarian regime. I wonder how long that will last. Meanwhile, the USA is becom

Really? They are following Putin’s playbook and getting away with it. Controlling media and sharing the spoils with the oligarchs. Together, they are robbing us blind. What about what they are doing makes them incompetent? Evil, yes. But in

Anybody who was anybody back then was an active participant in PRISM. There are no good guys and bad guys when it comes to that. There are businesses that get to keep doing business by doing what the government tells them to do, there are o

This looks like their Windows Vista.

Exactly. You end up having to burn licenses for stuff like that, although I will concede that VMware always gave us more licenses than we paid for and they always included extra products. It was weird though. There was no rhyme or reason to

I was running about 1000 machines on VMware in my previous career. It was always a love/hate relationship with them. We were able to achieve a lot of our goals using VMware and it was hard not to be ecstatic about the results. At the s

They have a fiduciary duty to shareholders. Bailing on AI because they can't do that and also be net-zero is a good way to get sued.

Thanks! It successfully installed this time, but now I have a new error: Internal error: { "details": "Failed to intialize Claude Code.\n\nThis may be caused by incorrect MCP server configuration, try disabling them."

Why would they appeal? This appears to be a huge win. What more could they reasonably wish for?

Doubtful. It's also doubtful this is about national security, protecting strategic manufacturing or anything else to benefit American people. This is a mafia shakedown.

Exactly. My city started posting about online safety and warnings about various scams. Unfortunately, almost every one of them also mentions how a local resident was victimized. We have a fairly large senior population. It's easy to sa

They serve completely different purposes and are not mutually exclusive. The main takeaways from the ublue stuff is how they build immutable OS images and focus on container-based development workflows. Omarchy is all about ergonomic deskto

I tried Omarchy for a bit. It's a nice setup and DHH made some good choices, but I'm right there with you. Most often, I use maximized windows for the things I'm actively working on and floating windows for something like pop

I believe the modern purpose of HOAs is for the developer to keep the neighborhood looking good long enough to sell all the homes and make a return on their investment. Fair enough. Then it gets turned over to the residents and they go bats

I very briefly worked at an ISP long after the days of dial-up were over. We had some super old servers on the network. These things hadn't been patched in forever, the OS was unsupported, etc. I think they were old Sun machines and Su

That's the guy. Fair enough to say he served his time and should not be unemployable. I can agree with that in principle. I would not advocate rejecting his open source contributions. If Canonical wants to employ him after doing their

Is focus stealing a real problem? I am a longtime Linux user and I happen to use KDE on Wayland. I wasn’t even aware this was a thing. Which desktops and apps is this happening with?

I'll see if I can find it. I don't remember the specifics on rust, but it sounded like they gave it a fair shot. It was basically the one to beat until they figured out it wasn't going to work. The decision to adopt Swift was

You should look into why they chose it and what their implementation plan is. They evaluated multiple languages, including rust. There were some specific issues with rust that made it unsuitable for them. Swift was a bit of a dark horse can
