While I’m way too lazy to do that myself, I respect you for the skill and effort.

Would you really want everyone in the world looking at every end of day commit before you’ve refactored it into something vaguely passable?

Honestly, it has been fine. Almost nobody really pays attention to anything they don’t care about, and most people who do care tend to be pretty helpful.

I never had that problems. My messages are always perfect on the first to-do.

(This is a joke. I intentionally didn’t fix my autocorrect.)

This change will also have minimal impact on most developers. App developers are unaffected, as it pertains only to platform development.

Bullshit. Not being able to follow along with relevant changes absolutely affects us.

Trunk based development is a good idea. Working in secrecy is not. They chose evil.

This is a clear indication of a lack of commitment to open source.

There’s pornography on Facebook! That’s disgusting! Someone let me know where so I can be sure to avoid it…

That looks like a Labrador / Bloodhound mix. Both have a lot of running in their DNA. And labradors are particularly communal. So very probably “greatest day of their life”. They finally found some humans who understand the value of a good long pack run. Haha.

I don’t believe in anything supernatural, but I’m pretty sure wiper blade attachment designs were somehow still born in the deepest fires of hell.

I’m also not a fan of being limited to certain cloud services (I use neither Google Drive nor Dropbox).

Good news!

Boox will run any cloud sync that has a recent Android app available. It’s just an Android tablet, at heart, and it’s already unlocked.

In particular, the local NAS sync client for Synology runs like a dream.

Edit: Oops. I missed that we switched from Boox to reMarkable, there.

I guess I’ll leave this since Boox sells eInk tablets that are feature matched to reMarkable, anyway.

P.s. the origami lily folds refuse to sink into my smooth brain. I gotta watch the same YT vid Everytime 😞

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I would think it would stick eventually, but not so far.

Sure it’s not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them

Lol. Agreed.

The weird part is that it’s nearly a perfect remake for like the first 40 minutes. You can almost call out almost the exact moment when they ran out of budget and decided to CGI bullshit their way through remaining minutes of runtime.

I adore the original, but I’ll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.

There’s gotta be less cruel ways to rehabilitate people, though.

I’m kidding. Welcome reformed convicts, to the wonderful and awful world of coding!

Nice. The world needs a lot more of these. Nothing makes someone look like an idiot like a direct verifiable quote.

But why?

Probably because having two separate dependency management solutions can lead to a lot of needless headaches.

And it makes particular sense for Gnome to switch over, since Gnome is focused on user space apps. Flatpaks should generally be more relevant and lower risk, long term, since they don’t require root privileges to install.

without some sort of clear ‘Linux Certified’

I think we will get there. Ironically, we might have ‘Steam Certified’ first, for alternate SteamDeck hardware.

I’m the meantime there’s premium brands like System76 and Framework who are making Linux support part of their brand image.

Needing ndiswrapper was bad, but Ndiswrapper was salvation (okay it was fixed wifi, which is practically the same thing, to me…)

Yeah. I’m confident in this change thanks to my equal discomfort configuring either SELinux or whatever OpenSUSE has. Hooray!

But joking aside, this sounds like a good thing and I appreciate all the folks who do understand that stuff and have worked hard on it.
