I believe it does crash the system eventually as important buts start to go missing?

Okay, here me out, but the other day I accidentally rebased my nvidia Bazzite system to the testing version of the deck image. It would fuzz out before even the bios splash. So yeah, you can still mess it up lol

why ask for a password.

To give the user an extra second to realise they’re doing dumb shit, and should stop?

I kind of think that’s QTs whole deal right? An abstraction layer that allows for devs to not get stuck in the weeds implementing it all manually.

How can a window manager position things if the program doesn’t communicate with it correctly?

The ABC is our independent public broadcaster, and I would say that their coverage is pretty trans-positive.

So this is one feature I really like from Voyager that I think would be nice to implement. Accounts that are 30 days old or younger can have a tag applied to their comments to show you that. I find it pretty helpful. Here’s an example:

The other thing that’s a much more minor refinement, is that I think you should be able to just paste a URL in the search box as well. I know the button is there, but it disappears when the search box is activated, including by double-tapping in the tab bar, which means backing out to click it. I think this would just make the flow a little better and mean people can choose which suits their muscle memory better.

Also, if I can put in a theme request for Dracula? 😅 Hell, point me to the right files in the repo and I’ll make a pull request.

Edit: Oh, a comment/post preview button in the editor would be nice :)

I just logged into my blahaj account using the “weekly beta” and it worked. It might have been a temporary error on the Blahaj side. Sometimes the web ui goes down but apps still work and vice versa. I think it’s usually maintenance stuff.

Thank you for the history, I appreciate it. Hopefully Valve releases SteamOS properly soon, it could be the resurgence of the Steam Machine!

Disk encryption doesn’t protect against what Secure Boot does. They are very different, often complimentary, systems.

Yeah no, it makes heaps of sense. It just initially sounded to me like the person was implying the Steam Deck is Valve’s escape hatch from running the Steam store. Which would be ridiculous, the two business sectors aren’t even close to the same order of magnitude.

Huh. That’s actually a pretty good take.

What do you mean by an escape hatch. Valve have been messing with hardware and Linux for way longer than the Steam Deck.

This is why Microsoft made WSL, they knew they were losing ground big time amongst devs.

No, it doesn’t, because the cost of that software is on the business because it makes them money. This person is literally smoking crack if they think it should ever be on the employee. There is never, ever, ever a situation where an employee paying an employer is a good thing.

Yes, the word free in English both means free as in gratis, without cost, as well as free as in freedom.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen a dumber take than “Windows good because it prevents an Apple monopoly” in a long while.

Yeah honestly these feelings are so bloody valid after the way they’ve been used lately. It’s always good to be sure of these things.

I’d imagine there would have to be script support, as KDE runs on many distros that all have very different update flows.

I’m actually wondering if it’s not just applications. That text talks of installing drivers to devices, so I’m actually wondering if this is about better support for hardware that’s paired to specific software. The recent use-case that’s got it on my mind is Rekordbox with Pioneer DJ decks. My housemate was curious so I tried running it under WINE and it launches just fine, but it could not see the decks at all, nor the encrypted license key verification it does with it’s driver. And I did manually install the driver into the prefix first.

However, I’m not positive this is it. It’s just a hunch.
