Having heard about some of the difficulty in budgeting for a charity my friend works at that is also reliant on donations, this isn’t surprising.
She said things would be managed more effectively if there were predictable payments coming in, even if they were taking in less money in total.
It appears Gnome, and probably others, are the same.
Trouble is, I too am a “I like donating to things in lump sums so my bank account is less cluttered” kinda guy.
Manjaro keeps popping up on devices, and I don’t understand how they keep getting these deals.
It’s seemingly the only thing they are competent at doing.
It’s certainly less stable than Gnome or Cinnamon, but to be fair, Plasma 6 is very stable compared to Plasma 4 and how Plasma 5 was for a long while.
I use Gnome on my PCs usually, but Plasma probably seems a lot more familiar to people who are used to Windows, which I imagine was a consideration.
Fully open and accessible: Fully open-source release of model weights, training hyperparameters, datasets, and code, fostering innovation and collaboration within the AI community.
That’s actually pretty good. Seems to be open source as the OSI defines it, rather than the much more common “this model is open source, but the dataset is a secret”.
Is it a MacBook? I though they had notches? Certainly looks very mac-like at the very least though.
Can confirm. It always seems overly verbose, though. Why not just bin? Or Rubbish? Nobody IRL would ever say “rubbish bin”.
It’s nice that in Star Trek they went with British English for their turbolifts.
Can you imagine having to say turboelevator in a hurry? shudders
I’m sorry my corrections to all your many errors are bothering you.
You got a pro managing it?
\sigh
Spaces before a full stop? Really?
Why do you keep putting random double spaces in half your comments?
Perhaps you’re right. There’s no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.
And for what it’s worth, you don’t need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don’t need my consent.
But it doesn’t change how FOSS networks […] are very leftist.
FOSS is essentially software socialism. It’s not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.
Idk about that
Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they’ve been censoring opposing viewpoints.
but they’re at least claiming to be removing censorship so let’s see how it goes
Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don’t adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.
(not too well so far)
Well at least you’re aware of it.
Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion.
Well facts don’t really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.
I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way
Ummm… How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?
It’s an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.
And you say they can deal with people who think differently?
Not really
But you initially said they could?
but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I’m not sure who’s at fault here and it’s not really the topic anyways.
Of course. You’re not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It’s those damn other people who made you this way.
That first story is very worrying.
Facebook certainly has a lot of issues but it’s way better for the mental health of sane individuals who can deal with disagreements imo.
That’s not what Facebook is like at all.
Have you considered perhaps that you’re simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring #democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol
Ireland put out condolences to Hitler after he killed himself. They also treated Irish who went overseas to fight Nazis like absolute shit, many of them to such an extent that they moved country after the war.
Obviously now is a very different time to the 40s, but there are still some circles in Ireland that have… questionable… views on Jews.
Jesus Christ.
The biggest hurdle by far is that you need to compile the software you want to use from source more often that is acceptable for the average user.
I’ve been using Linux as my main OS since 2007 and not had to do that once.
Linux is way too fragmented and trying to get up and running with basic apps requires way too much technical skill.
> open app store
> search
> install any flatpak you like
If anything Windows is the complicated one in this regard.
Easy thing to say when you’re not the one donating your time for free.
I love what Valve is doing for Linux, but longer term, the onus is on them to solve the 32-bit compatibility layer issue (a-la Proton for win-to-linux, as well as their upcoming x86-to-ARM layer).
Expecting all distros (who again, are staffed mostly by volunteers) to do this work separately (i.e. duplicating all that work), for all time, is a big ask.
