I think you’re trying to gaslight us and yourself into believing that this post has standing and that you didn’t fuck up.

Stop with the stilted arguments and actually listen to what people are telling you (after you asked for it) in a much nicer tone than I am using right now.

You misunderstood. I meant the so-called End of History and the nuclear disarmament based on that premise. But you’re right, it lasted less than a decade.

Yes, we want to know how the sausage is made, just like with all FOSS.

what does the community actually expect from devs

Don’t flood the zone.

It really isn’t so long ago when making an app required various stages of completion and testing, usually including other people. I expect from devs that they follow that well-established road and stop with the silly “who has the time” argument I’m hearing so often lately. Sorry, you didn’t actually say that.

Not sure why we should be interested in the Polish though. Are you from there?

Yes, and not only Moldova. Poland, The Baltics have had russian things crossing into their airspace, too. Possibly every country that shares a fucking border with RU.

Greetings from Finland.

I’m feel you’re jumping right into the problem from some tutorial or not-so-common knowledge. We do not have that context.

Is “x11-user” defined anywhere? sddm must know what to do with that setting.

Well now you have to explain it.

Also, yeah, weird to have politicians with names of big cities. Imagine there was a Senator Washington in the USA.

We really thought we had this one figured out once and for all, back in the '90s, right? How naïve of all of us.

This is what I like to hear from Poland, not that astroturfed anti-ukrainian crap.

At least I wait for it on company time.

You think I didn’t?

And yes, the story above was about getting them all up to Win11. It’s sad that IT-illiterates see “let’s do what M$ says” as the only option wrt security.

I remember that too! My crappy old computer. I bought the cheapest SSD they had and it was so much faster.

And I’ve been thinking about the latter too.

BTW I truly hope your Windows takes 5min for a cold boot, and not your Linux, because that would mean there’s something wrong with it or the hardware.

totally not what I meant

Giving the current vector you aren’t even leaning out very far.

WINDOWS 11 IS GREAT IF YOU DONT VALUE YOUR TIME

Even with that caveat I wouldn’t agree.

But there’s something to it.

For me, a decade of Linux user, having been forced to work with a bunch of Windows laptops recently, even the difference between 10 and 11 was palpable. Not only in resource usage but also in just getting around the system, running updates, trying to disable the stock ticker (?WTF?) etc.

I’m glad this is getting at least a few upvotes.

You can still play around with it, but the base should be boringly solid and widely compatible.
Then make it unique.

And I don’t mean to say that distro developers or even users shouldn’t be creative.

Like “Saure-Gurken-Zeit” only for October 🤔 what would one call that

Oh, is it that time of the year again? <looks at calendar> Yep, it’s October again. Thank doG I don’t live in Munich. And don’t have to watch German network TV.

don’t want my thoughts and comments to be an income stream for a for-profit organization

(…)

The modern social media platform is not designed to foster positive interactions, but rather to maximize shareholder value.

This is so much more important than whatever elitism OOP implies.

I’m also not 40 btw.

It is already being done as much as we politically dare, as it’s in everyone’s best interest to avoid further escalation of the war.

Just like you made a relativized statement, so did I, yet you cut that part off.

I think politics could dare a lot more without endangering us any more than we already are. Without escalating any further.

Just think of the internet.

Shall we just watch as hybrid warfare spreads further and further? I believe the real danger and actual damage from that is much higher than from the Kremlins nuclear posturing.

We do seem to agree on most points though.

I was going for the complicity. That’s a big (geographically) problem.

They’ve been ramping this shit up ever since '22.*

Worse: when they do this to kids they stole from Ukraine.

I don’t think the rest of the world will ever - or even should - meddle in a country’s affairs to the point of destroying their government, but I think it’s high time to ostracize and isolate Russia in every way possible.

Even China doesn’t do this shit to their people. Not so brazenly at least.

Also, the next time someone says “Russians brought this on themselves because they voted for the wrong guy”, show them this. Because, as I said, this has been going on for a long time, a lot longer than '22. They are adults now. Fully indoctrinated and kept from any sort of real information.

* this phrasing is not to be misunderstood: they already did it long before that. It’s been a steady development ever since Putin came to power.
