You can’t prevent it without regulations. Companies won’t care while gaining money from it unless they’re obligated to, and even then, some won’t comply either.

BTW, that mentality of “other countries vs mine” is absurd. War crimes shouldn’t be committed by a country just because the other commits them; others bad ≠ I good.

LLMs can’t and should NOT replace a human, at least not yet (they’re not even that good either). If we can’t have guaranteed basic needs such as housing, food and healthcare or a BUI, then they should not keep leaving people without jobs because no one will be able to afford anything.

I was going to ask the same. It’s beautiful!

You’re right, I should specify that it’s mostly for niche hardware. But even though there are developers trying, sometimes those devices are barely usable or have bugs and/or vulnerabilities.

Since most people don’t use Linux, drivers and software aren’t usually developed for it. Although, a reasonable company would develop just in case or help you get a solution, it’s unusual. Most computers are supported, but there is very specific hardware that may not have support or you’ll find bugs.

I’d recommend you to search (and test with an USB in Live mode) about your hardware and ask in communities about this specific topics. There are music communities, movies, math, streaming, etc.

And no, I don’t think you’ll find anticheat support because most Linux users don’t want closed shady software modifying their kernel (but there are solutions being worked on).

It’s to avoid trackers and/or paywalls, and also to preserve it just in case. But yes, to each their own.

This looks great! I mean, I like Ghostwriter, but it isn’t exactly a note-taking app, less so KWrite and Kate, This will be a great complement and help to complete the basic needs of users I hope :)

When creating a task, you can choose a Start, End Date and a Timer.

You also have to select the Calendar where you want Tasks.org to save your task.

In Nextcloud is the same while creating tasks, but it’ll create a Calendar for every list of tasks (e.g Personal tasks, College tasks, etc)

I’m using Tasks.org with DAVx5 (android) and an external Nextcloud hosting.

You can set blocks of time, nested tasks and it adds them to the Nextcloud calendar. I think Tasks.org can sync with Google Tasks, but it has limitations.

My only step left is self-hosting Nextcloud.

I think that if Linux improves and the economy/companies go the way they’re going right now, FOSS has an opportunity to grow and bring more users, if not to Linux, to the decentralized and libre software communities. But i hope it goes hand to hand, as Linux would require better hardware support as its demand increases. Btw, I also think that accessibility would improve, which is good for everyone.

Aside from Linux, the people will, at some point, understand that a free product will worsen over time, and it’s better to invest some money or time into the services/apps they like so they don’t get enshittified. As FOSS communities grow and alternatives improve (like Godot, Blender and Mastodon), it’ll attract the curiosity of the people.

How did you do it? I’ve been wanting to do that, but I’ve been busy and haven’t had the time 😿

Doesn’t Ctrl+Z undo the extraction? I may be dreaming, but I remember there was a fast option to delete all the files extracted. Anyway, we already know about autodetection B)

I’d say:

• Flow Launcher
• Kate
• Espanso

I use it with Flow Launcher, which is open source (MIT License) and actually maintained. I abandoned Keypirinha a couple years ago.

I’ve always wanted to do that, ngl

CoD: Black Ops 1 is a freaking masterpiece. It made me expect more from videogames and appreciate the little details. Then Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Fallout 4 were the first games that made me realize that an open world with such content was possible and the RPGs world. I know they are not massive, but I had only played in an Xbox and I had to be picky because I’m no rich. But yeah, I only have good anecdotes with those games and how impressive it was for me, mostly Fallout 4 because of secondary missions that had an impact on me, and then the other Fallouts which I’m playing in order right now and every one has its own impact, I love the franchise.

Extra: I love R6 and it was one of my favorites of all time, then I was introduced to the enshittifcation concept without knowing it lol. I kept playing Battlefield 4 rather than returning to R6.

So all the effort and money they spent in developing their games, before knowing about this movement from Unity, should be punished?

I understand your intentions, but indie devs don’t have the capacity to switch engines, let alone redevelop everything when it’s already or almost finished. I’d understand if you do it at the start of 2024.

Also, this is speculation, but I’ve seen devs provide alternatives to get their games. A lot of developers have already declared their intentions to switch engines from now on and they can’t do that if they don’t have a budget.

I write small scripts in NeoVim and larger projects in VSCodium because it provides most of what I need and doesn’t consume a lot of resources. It’s a good tool, you can also use forks or alternatives, and i think that’s the spirit of open source, isn’t it?

I also have been trying Kate, works greats and with even better performance.

Note: I used Community of Earth in case we discover other species, but I’d suggest changing the name according to the interplanetary travel and expeditions

And i don’t know, I’m a Free Software advocate so that too has to be considered. Any way, I have more ideas, but not the time

From what I remember, I only used opi codecs and that’s it. What I meant with the vendor change, was that I never run it nor allow it.

When you run zypper dup, it throws you some errors telling you that the versions are different or aren’t in the official repo, which means that you should wait until there are no errors. Unless there was an official vendor change and you have no other alternative (and it’s not really common) then you have to install those specific packages from the official repo.

Ironically, most people I know doesn’t know how to use their phones or computers at all.

Not all of the people require more knowledge than Excel, but it’s very useful to recognize types of errors, backups, where are the settings you may need and how to find your device options.
