To me it sounds like Shuah is trying to prove his position has a value while also being on this level of a power trip

They have frequent releases that introduce features and bugs, and then they squash them every week.

A stable distro like Debian will only update KDE once every ~2 years. If the version they use is full of bugs, you're stuck with it.

On the other hand you've got a DE like xfce that gets a release every few years, and the Devs make sure it's as reliable as possible to fit that stable release schedule.

Idk about the endpoints, but this seems to be targeting desktops and not servers, as those don't have KDE.

My bad.

there are much better options available for mushroom induced experiences

Depends on your tastes really. That's like saying LSD is a strictly better experience than alcohol. They're completely different types of psychoactive compounds.

Also, it's not like other mushrooms don't cause nausea. I know people who've literally spent hours vomiting after eating cubes.

I just feel like they wanted to do arch, but pacman -Syu was too awkward

KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

But I'd only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn't suit stable ones.

I said they're the new IE for a reason.

The w3c standard: ok so we all agreed that this feature will be placed in the body tag

Blink: ofc, that's what I've been telling you

Gecko: sure, idc

WebKit: yeah nah, put it in the html

So many little senseless gotchas like that that exist for no reason that to be iSpecial

Or human piss, or you know...decarb it in the oven.

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

That's why you decarb it to convert Ibo to muscimol...

I mean the title should be "... time to move to the other browser".

Safari is the new IE with extra iCrap on top.

Random browsers usually use one of the 3 web engines, but without browser polish, or functionalities like a working adblock. Those that don't are just someone's toys.

So the only real option is Firefox, and the Mozilla foundation lost 80+% of their funding because they can't get the Google money anymore. Maybe they'll start actually funding FF instead of some BS humanitarian work that I can bet was primarily lining their pockets...

Try it out maybe? You're not buying a car... There's not much point going around and asking if you spend 20 mins trying it out and realise you don't want to use a 5 year old DE.

Basically expect the system will change only when you update to a new version, and that you'll need to use external PMs like flatpak or nix for all user packages if you plan on doing anything more advanced than browsing and office work.

Yeah, who'd hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS

Maybe there's a reason canonical has to force it on their users

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

and ide specific posts like:

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
