Yeah I get that SteamOS wouldn't, but Valve themselves have explicitly stated people should use Flatpaks, not distro repos or Snaps (perhaps with an exception for Arch repos if what you say is correct).

Seems very weird to me.

I assumed this was already the case but regardless this is a great change!

I hope more developers get their apps verified. It boggles my mind that the Steam flatpak isn't verified, for example (even more bizarre is that Valve encourage people to use the Steam flatpak despite it being unofficial!)

Hopefully the Flathub website, Gnome, Cinnamon, and now Plasma showing verified app status will be the kick up the arse devs need.

"on the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree."

It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to assert that on the second day of Christmas he did not send two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

If I said yesterday I gave my friend a pork pie and today I gave my friend some spaghetti and a pork pie, you would not come to the conclusion that my friend did not receive a second pork pie.

The song explicitly says they are given recursively

How is it autistic? It's just what he says he gave her.

That's what the lyrics say though.

On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.

The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.

But it literally did nail it?

It's giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it's correct.

12*1=12

11*2=22

10*3=30

And so on.

If you wanted the lyrics, that's a different question.

Oh shit

I set "You've got mail" as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)

RIP, your voice was heard by millions.

As much as I'd love to munch some popcorn and see Lammy double down on calling Trump out for being a fascist dickhead, that obviously wouldn't be in the interest of the UK and would probably be an unwise thing for the Foreign Secretary of all ministers to do.

Damaging the prospects of the UK just to get a sick twitter burn in against a pussy-grabbing wannabe despot is not a rational and pragmatic course of action, even if it would be very funny/morally correct.

Unfortunately, Trump did win an election and we do have to put up with him/navigate around him for the next four years.

I do hope, though, that the Republicans becoming more and more unhinged prompts us to be a bit less US-reliant, and to seek partnerships with other countries, and to make our own country a bit more self-reliant.

That's interesting.

I'm not sure what the real-world difference will be, since Fedora already seemingly puts just as much effort into Plasma as they do Gnome, but even as a symbolic move it's pretty cool.

You equated them multiple times. You know you did.

Stop defending raping children you nonce.

A formerly amazing charity now abandoning their principles and going for an IPO. What a shame.
