  • I hate how installing or removing (or even updating) a flatpak causes the whole software center to completely refresh, and it doesn't keep its state so if you were in the middle of a search or scrolled down through a category... say goodbye to it.

  • This week in KDE: changing the wallpaper from within System Settings

    跳过

  • Generally it's just through my distro, it's always occurred since I've used KDE unfortunately (since that was one of my first thoughts). This has been across Fedora (and derivatives), Nix, Arch, and Kubuntu.

    days 3 and 4 of Debian December

  • As far as I know, if you don't have it on Steam then yes.

    The Steam build still gets all of the updates to the game... for now, so if you grabbed it on Steam before it was delisted you can continue to play through that.

  • How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?

    跳过

  • I used to justify it with "I've had a shit day, I deserve to be able to have something for the convenience" - not to mention, I don't have a car so realistically it was "Do I want fast food or not".

    Then I started to realize that every day tends to be a bad day for me, due to a multitude of reasons. I live paycheck to paycheck (which is why I don't have a car in the first place) and the amount I was spending on takeout was way too high.

    Now the only time I do so is on Fridays because my workplace lets us spend $25 on their tab just for joining the weekly staff meeting. Aside from that, I might order a takeout once, maybe even twice, during a pay period as a "congrats for making it through last month" but I'd like to even stop doing that ideally.

  • Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps

    跳过

  • They might've done so out of necessity. I don't know if the dev(s) of the Simple Tools apps were working on it full time, but if they were and just not enough contributions were coming in from it... Well everyone has to eat.

    As the saying goes, "everyone has their price". It's easy to condemn the developers for their choice until you're in the exact same scenario as they were. Whether that's because they were starving, or even just offered enough money to make their lives a lot easier - not too many people would turn it down.

  • Arch or NixOS?

  • Arch or NixOS?

    跳过

  • I'm a bit surprised to see that you disagreed with the "NixOS is hard to configure" bit, but then also listed some of the reasons why it can be hard to configure as cons.

    By "configure", they probably didn't mean just setting up say, user accounts, which is definitely easy to set up in Nix.

    The problems start to arise when you want to use something that isn't in Nixpkgs, or even something that is out of date in Nixpkgs, or using a package from Nixpkgs that then has plugins but said plugin(s) that you want aren't in Nixpkgs.

    From my experience with NixOS, I had two software packages break on me that are in Nixpkgs - one of them being critical for work, and I had no clue where to even begin trying to fix the Nixpkg derivation because of how disorganized Nix's docs can be.

    Speaking of docs inconsistencies you still have the problem of most users saying you should go with Flakes these days, but it's still technically an experimental feature and so the docs still assume you're not using Flakes...

    I was also working on a very simple Rust script, and couldn't get it to properly build due to some problem with the OpenSSL library that one of the dependent crates of my project used.

    That was my experience with NixOS after a couple of months. The concept of Nix[OS] is fantastic, but it comes with a heavy cost depending on what you're wanting to do. The community is also great, but even I saw someone who heavily contributes to Nixpkgs mention that a big issue is only a handful of people know how Nixpkgs is properly organized, and that they run behind on PRs / code reviews of Nixpkgs because of it.

    I'd still like to try NixOS on say, a server where I could expect it to work better because everything is declarative such as docker containers - but it's going to be a while before I try it on my PC again.

    Am I a loser?

  • Realistically, a lot of relationships are "situational" (especially at that age) - but that doesn't erase the fact that they existed in the first place.

  • This week in KDE: changing the wallpaper from within System Settings

    跳过

  • No VPN, it's strange because I haven't had a problem with any other services that use IP geolocation (which I assume is what KDE uses) - even Gnome's auto location tool seems to work fine.

  • What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?

    跳过

  • Yep, I modded my switch, dumped the keys and my games and went "Now what?" and after playing via Yuzu on my PC I realized this was the only way I really wanted to play the few Switch games I enjoy.

    Every now and then I'll boot into the stock firmware to play Mario Kart with some friends when they want to play, and that's it.

  • Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent...

  • Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

    跳过

  • I imagine that is the case, however they could refund it given the situation.

    I get the feeling they won't allow refunds.

  • You've been instantly teleported two feet to the left. How does this affect you?

    跳过

  • Hmm, well the railing of my bed would well... be railing me.

  • Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?

    跳过

  • It looks like my top song this year was "Relapse" by Wage War, and top artist was Self Deception:

    Makes sense, great tracks and artists all around!

  • Would you want your troublesome ex spouse to be super successful or super unsuccessful on onlyfans ? And why ?

    跳过

  • I mean, sure - why not? Like Ada said, if it isn't going to cause any negative impact on me, there isn't a reason for me to object that I can think of.

    I would be a bit concerned about the hazards of drawing a lot of attention to yourself on the internet, because of the vile people on the internet - but aside from a brief note about it (if they asked for my opinion), that's really all I'd have to say on the matter.

  • Forgejo v1.21 is available

    跳过

  • Ah I see, that's unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn't seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.

    I've given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it'll help me find some communities in general that I'll want to subscribe to from over here.

  • Forgejo v1.21 is available

    跳过

  • I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don't know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).
