Plasma fan and aspiring Cosmonaut, though I have Swayed in the past and have a tendency to get Hypr.

Gotta thank the Kremlin for making a list of good European news websites. On second thought, weird that they block cnews.fr. The Dutch and German lists make sense though

VW: "Wir haben es nicht gewüsst"

  • So what are you going to do to prevent this from happening?

VW: "Full supply chain transparency does not exist"

  • So what are you going to do to increase your supply chain transparency? The supply chain that you are, by German law, and soon in all EU countries, responsible for.

The wording smells of willful incompetence. I hope it's just regular incompetence, but intentionally presenting their legal duties as some kind of unicorn ("does not exist") does not look good.

Wayland Nvidia compatibility will be here soon™ Nvidia drivers needed explicit sync, which was not supported in Wayland. However, explicit sync has been merged into the Wayland protocol and should be here shortly. Gnome 46.1 already ships with it.

I do not understand fully but maybe drivers need a bit of configuration too to use this? I'm not sure of all the steps but it should be here soon

I see you too are a backend enjoyer who is tired of modern frontend development. I highly recommend reading this:

Do you mean Safari?

Name one other browser that is not based on Chromium. If it is based on Chromium, it has to deal with what Google throws at them.

I say this as an enthusiastic Brave user. Brave is great at what it does currently, but the more terrible stuff Google builds into Chromium, the more patches they'll have to maintain. This can make it harder to maintain their fork.

Worse than that, most Chromium-derivative users aren't Brave users. Many web apps already don't work as well with Firefox' JavaScript Engine (Gecko) as they do with Chromium. This gives Google immense power.

That's a Mastodon thread. This is Lemmy.

While Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities (such as this one: !linux@lemmy.ml or lemmy.ml/c/linux ) and see Lemmy posts in their feed, Lemmy users cannot normally comment on Mastodon threads.

This is crazy!

What surprised me especially is that it was seemingly so simple to compile and boot a modern Linux kernel and graphics drivers for this obscure >10yo CPU.

Someone showing off their uniquely styled desktop. Usually showing multiple panes, one of which is an empty desktop and some apps in another to show the background and window styles. If you are used to things close to the Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon default looks and are confused, they did a good job!

River is a tiling window manager FYI.

The "dotfiles" contain all the relevant config. Most of it is in ~/.config usually

Ubuntu 18.04 is end-of-life since Spring 2023. VS Code is going to require a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. One does not simply upgrade glibc.

This new requirement was announced 6 months in advance, but no one reads the changelog, and enough companies still use Ubuntu 18.04 (hopefully while paying for the Extended Security Maintenance), so many people were surprised and unhappy when their VS Code stopped working for remote development over ssh on Ubuntu 18.04 servers. VS Code installs and runs stuff such as language servers on the remote machine.

This is pretty sick. Not just flatpaks but easily install any application, using apt or dnf package managers, or deb or rpm files, in a container with a simple syntax. Wow. Wrap a GUI around it and this may be a winning formula for an easy and stable Linux desktop.
