Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.

Plasma 6.4 is out and it's' more welcoming than ever!

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/

Check out the tweaked tiling that lets you have different layouts for every virtual desktop; the overhauled Spectacle that makes capturing your desktop faster; how KRunner now understands color; and in general the literally dozens of other fixes and features that make Plasma friendlier and easier to use.

"this morning, as I was finishing up work on a video about a new mini Pi cluster, I got a cheerful email from YouTube saying my video on LibreELEC on the Pi 5 was removed because it promoted:

Dangerous or Harmful Content Content that describes how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content, software, subscription services, or games that usually require payment isn't allowed on YouTube.

I never described any of that stuff, only how to self-host your own media library.

This wasn't my first rodeo—in October last year, I got a strike for showing people how to install Jellyfin!

In that case, I was happy to see my appeal granted within an hour of the strike being placed on the channel. (Nevermind the fact the video had been live for over two years at that point, with nary a problem!)

So I thought, this case will be similar:

  • The video's been up for over a year, without issue
  • The video's had over half a million views
  • The video doesn't promote or highlight any tools used to circumvent copyright, get around paid subscriptions, or reproduce any content illegally

Slam-dunk, right? Well, not according to whomever reviewed my appeal. Apparently self-hosted open source media library management is harmful.

Who knew open source software could be so subversive?"

 

Ah, spiciness erupted in the Linux Kernel sphere after a broken script made it seem like a longtime maintainer had pushed malicious patches to the kernel.

Helix is bae, the best of both worlds, of both Emacs and Vim.

 

With the unfortunate news of Lemm.ee shutting down at the end of June, I wanted to offer an invitation for any and all furries here to migrate to Pawb.Social before the shut down happens. We are a general purpose, LGBTQ+ friendly instance, for furries by furries. Our registration is open and we welcome any who wish to move over to our instance.

If you wish to migrate your settings from Lemm.ee to Pawb.Social, follow these steps:

  1. On Lemm.ee, go to your settings and find the Import/Export Settings area.
  2. Click on Export and save this settings.json file on your device.
  3. If you haven't already, register on Pawb.Social for a new account there. Note: Please follow the registration application rules, and it should be approved within 24 hours.
  4. Once your registration has been approved, you can sign into Pawb.Social.
  5. Once you are, go to Settings, find the Import/Export Settings area
  6. Click on Choose File, select the exported settings.json file you saved previously, and then click Import.

Your settings should now have been imported cleanly into Pawb.Social and you should be ready to go.

We are disappointed to see Lemm.ee be going away, it represented one of the larger Lemmy instances on the Fediverse. That said, we hope that for those furries that do still wish to interact with the Reddit-style side of the Fediverse will join us on Pawb.Social.

Well, their username does check out.

Umm... How old is this meme? You haven't (really) able to play PC/Steam games on Mac for a while... Also, XFCE hasn't been a serious contender for a DE (save for a lower end hardware spec) for quite a while now.

This meme might have made more sense if it was comparing to Windows. Comparing it to a Mac now is comical, especially since a lot of Adobe software doesn't work quite right yet on M* series Mac's yet (though it is better than at launch).

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

It could be a misidentified version of Ubuntu as we, though I must admit I am now also curious about that... Maybe it's RasPi folks using Steam on it for something?

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

Only been using it exclusively for 5+ years now... Something like 12-14 if you consider when I first started experimenting with it.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

Lol, I cross-posted it here from !memes@lemmy.ml.

Huh? That ain't what I meant at all... I'm sticking with Pixel for my next upgrade, there's not much that could make me change my mind. If for some reason Pixel died next year, I'd probably switch to OnePlus (if I can find a good ROM for it that's as good as CalyxOS), but I can't say I'd be happy about it.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

Uhh, yeah no... A phone with a processor that's equivalent to something from like 4 generations ago isn't gonna cut it. Even then, that processor would be less powerful than the Tensor G1 in my Pixel 6 Pro. If you're concerned about data sharing, just get a Pixel and put CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on it. More secure anyways, and you still get much better hardware along with it.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yeah... My Pixel 6 Pro is the best phone I've ever had, and I don't even intended to upgrade until the Pixel 11 at least. So, you're just wrong.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yup! I got the 42 release with BazziteOS (Based on Universal-Blue) not that long back.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's like that on Reddit too. Sometimes I wonder if its outside agitators (like you see on places like r/Brave, r/CalyxOS, etc), or if its just idiotic people who don't know better...

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 14 points 1 month ago

Honestly, people are mostly* blaming the victim here. I used to adore playing Geoguessr years ago, but that came to an end when a subscription was needed to play it. That came about because Google started charging exorbitant prices for the Google Maps and Streetview API.

*Yeah, the other issues like lacking features and not using the subscription from the website are dumb, and shouldn't have been a thing for the Steam release. But the core issue of the subscription? The fault for that lies squarely with Google...
