People ask why Australians don't seem concerned with giant spiders.
We are we just have an innate knowledge of which ones are harmless, which ones cause unbearable pain, and which ones are going to kill you if you look at them funny.
The first two won't hurt you that bad

Since I've had confirmation this is real, I'll reshare it now. It looks like Sonny Piers was removed from the GNOME Foundation board, no one publicly knows why, on one is talking about it, this is a complete mystery https://discourse.gnome.org/t/updates-to-the-gnome-foundation-board-of-directors-roster/22201

Other Games:
So we made some balance changes, oh there's this new boss you can fight
Path Of Exile:
We added a city builder, we reworked every end game mechanic, we completely remade melee, oh btw have an automated currency market now. We also did that other stuff as well but who cares about that because you have so much else to play with. The game is also free with 0 pay to win microtransactions, only cosmetics

Looking through what's available in the Australian Chromebook market I've learnt 2 things:
1. People are god awful at listing devices on ebay
2. People have absolutely no idea what they have, both in a good way recent devices in near perfect condition for super cheap but also why the hell do you think an 11 year laptop is worth $500

It doesn't matter whether or not it's true, a lot of people on Linux reflexively respond to anything that looks like mass data surveillance and are terrified of that ever coming to Linux

2024-07-02 08:56:15

So far attempt number 2 at Fedora Workstation telemetry is a lot more sensible. An opt-out solution was never going to fly with Linux users and that 500+ comment thread shows what happens when people think a Linux distro is slightly moving towards Windows https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Metrics

If you're a KDE Plasma user on 6.1 don't forget to go to System Settings --> Accessibility --> Shake Cursor --> And uncheck "Share cursor to find it" #Linux
Unless you actually want your cursor to grow when you shake it

@npub13uc…snj6 Not at all, first issue is it's basically saying that any source code you can see is open source, which would mean leaked code is open source

Looking into what happened with the Github CSS injection bug I'm realizing this is so much dumber than I originally thought, the bug was patched a year ago but the library never shipped a new release lol

2024-06-10 04:00:03

Here's a fun change, in Plasma 6.1 the password prompt can be hidden, combine this with no clock and now you have screensaver support https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442092

2024-06-10 03:54:57

I'm putting together a video on a bunch of the changes being made in Plasma 6.1, I now see why I was told to hold off on using it until at least this release or 6.2, there is a lot of changes being made, most of them subtle, but all of them should make the experience much better

Ok it's actually pressing any key, so it's probably a feature, but I'm still not completely sure on why

2024-06-04 02:53:52

I can't work out if this is a bug or a weird KDE feature:
If you open the shutdown dialog and then press the super key it stops the count down timer. It's probably a feature that I don't understand why it exists but I'd like some insight
