Boards as in breadboards, I guess. That title assumes the reader will have a certain context.

I got excited thinking it was about managing board activity for nonprofits formed by developers.

Still, seems like a nice tool for people who do breadboarding!

OBS could do that, I suppose. Add a screen capture source, and place a color source behind it sized 10px larger than the screen capture rect. Hit record.

right click menu icons

I think they might be referring to icons next to menu items in the right click menu.

I think those icons can be handy sometimes, but I find them to be massively overused in KDE especially, to the point that it feels visually overwhelming sometimes. Having zero icons at all in GNOME might be the other extreme, but I appreciate how clean it looks.

Blender using icons strategically to visually group related items is probably the best of both worlds.

Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don’t think I’ve run across that so much as the “everything ever made must be rewritten in rust” crowd, and then everyone else who doesn’t much care what language is used as long as it works.

Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.

We went ahead and disabled the X11 session by default and from now on it needs to be explicitly enabled when building the affected modules. (gnome-session, GDM, mutter/gnome-shell).

Aside from a simple flag change and a recompile before Canonical adds the packages to their repo, it doesn’t sound like this will affect Ubuntu at all. They probably already do this anyway to add their own little patches.

The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.

GNOME 50 is when Canonical will truly need to either move to Wayland or do something else.

Seems fairly reasonable of a timeline from the GNOME team, IMO.

People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.

Even the linked article whines about how they don’t want to use Peertube because “the audience for the content is 100x smaller” but that’s at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren’t going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don’t post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.

There’s not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.

Sadly, Duolingo is quickly becoming AI infested shit. I have been using it for years now, it’s very frustrating to see it declining in quality.

I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.

press your eyes real hard

You did say this originally in a way that could be concerning. It’s unsurprising that someone would advise caution.

the mild pressing

Then you understated yourself in response to someone showing care towards you.

gently pressing

In your quest to refuse to graciously accept any kind of good-natured advice, you’ve moved pretty far away from the “press your eyes real hard” that you started with.

You could have just said “Oh, thanks for the warning, I’ll be careful.” and moved on.

Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There’s literally always going to be someone out there who doesn’t have the same information that you do.

Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.

I used to use Pano for that, but it’s extension page hasn’t been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It’s not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.

Both options can be bound to Super+V, that’s exactly the key combo I use for it.

Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as “don’t use GNOME if you have Nvidia”.

Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I’ve never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.

Is it? I didn’t tick that box when I made the post, but maybe the app I’m using (Raccoon) has a bug.

Forth of July is a forced special case that we USians have been conditioned into differentiating. Strange shit like that due to nationalism. We don’t do that for most other dates or holidays, though. Like, hardly anyone goes around routinely saying 31st of October to refer to that holiday.

Maybe the UK equivalent would be the 5th of November. (Or was that just popularized because of V For Vendetta?)

I suppose I’ve heard the Ides of March plenty, as well.

I don’t have a singular favorite, but some of the top ones who get me excited just by their casting are (in no particular order):

• Michelle Yeoh
• Shohreh Aghdashloo
• J. K. Simmons
• Henry Cavill
• Rosamund Pike
• Adjoa Andoh
• Stellan, Alexander, and Bill Skarsgård (really, the whole family is great, but these 3 especially)
• Anson Mount
• Charlize Theron

I’ve been enjoying novelWriter for a few months now.

It’s FOSS, works on every OS, and is created by a writer who was frustrated with the other options available. She and another writer co-designed it initially, and there’s a respectably sized community built up around it at this point. It’s got the kinds of features that writers actually need, and avoids bloat. So they say, and in my experience that’s certainly been the case.

Haven’t watched the video since it’s on YouTube, but I hope this means they’ll start adding features at some point soon after the rewrite is finished. It would be really nice to be able to more easily configure bridged networking in a VM, for instance.

Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I’ve been to many banks, and there’s been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That’s why I’m confused here. I know what a scale is.
