I"m glad it doesn't exist, since i'd have to turn it off :) But seriously, I use GNOME because of what it is, not because of what it's not.

I'vehad to wait 6 hours between buses during a transfer. I sure hope they aren't stopping that :(

it's what they do with foodstamps already, is the point. I don't know whether that'll atually happen, but that's the theory.

only some of those choices are actually required by gnome. not the whole evolution program especially, although the data-server portion might be.

yep. nvidia was the only choice back then. I don't see how folks have forgoten that. But, now it's all AMD for me, because amd doesn't require a closed source driver or userspace. Apparently that will change in the next year

css is still used in gtk (but a very minimal version) and javascript is used to write gnome extensions.

you just mentioned 4. that's not 2, that's 4. And you forgot chromeOS.

no, it's not typescript. it's a language feature coming to js.

they've explicitly said it won't. If somehow that ever changes you'll see huge news about it.

I just let it be "lazy" as you say as the rest of tons of other stuff is lazy and don't bother to think to much about it. I'd rather focus on stuff I actually like.

it's a status marker. Only people who can afford the iphone get a blue bubble.

huh? got an example? I've been to quite a few topical FOSS oriented subs and i'm happy for the no self-promotion rules. It's usually a bunch of people making an inferior version of neofetch or whatever basic tool is well know

nix doesn't help you with containing each program last I heard. I've been waiting to hear about any work on one. It'd be really cool if nix package definitions also let you define defaults for containment per program.

people have gone by pseudonyms for ages in the culture around hackers and computers generally. I don't see why we shouldn't do the same here.

that's the way the distro that you're commenting on works mostly! Although their documentation says they plan on supporting snap alongside flatpak.

the fokls who do not want to customize :). We just want the UI to mostly stay out of the way. Last I checked, even Linus uses it.

gnome 4 didn't happen. they abandoned their previous numbering of even/odd for the minor version being release or devel (like 3.22, 3.23) in favor of whole new numbers and patch. The current release is 44.1

which one would be selected if you didn't make a choice. I don't use debian, but I thought the answer was GNOME.

that assumes they have family and friends who are still alive.

I love that rule. I've gotten called a shill for microsoft many times when I've mentioned some of the cool aspects of their OS design, especially vs Linux. The thing is, I use linux almost exclusively, but for occasional cross pla

i think one is also referring to mariadb here and not just mysql. Maybe that's better enough? I wouldn't know, I just go with postres.

the design of the protocol :)

if we didn't have that, we wouldn't have wine or anything else that emulates ANY api and google wouldn't have been able to build dalvik for android. Potentially not even the free unices like freebsd or linux.

the docs exactly start by telling you how to dump your switch and absolutely do not tell you how to pirate games.

most of the general purpose distributions use systemd. Almost every general purpose distro you've ever heard of. They all adopted it by choice, because they thought it was a better option than the alternatives for one reason or the oth

Either way, it's not like you can't export your data and shove it into something else like redis.

it's for when you can't type reasonably isn't i? Like while you're cooking you might say "skip to next song" or "set a timer for 10 minutes" or something. That's how people describe it anyways.

We have entire OSes built in rust, so that' not the case there. That's both for mcus and desktop machines and beyond.
