Does it really count if the thanklessness is well deserved?

They should just swap the names for pickup artists and garbage men.

Flatpaks definitely do follow the system theme by default. I’m running Silverblue, so all my apps are Flatpaks.

As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.

I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.

Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.

Honestly my hope is still that the EU intervenes, which I consider to be around 50% given they’re a generally a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to regulations.

When Apple becomes my last hope, I’ll know times are bad. Having said that, it’s one of the parties that may actually oppose. The other big guy that may have some power in this, Microsoft, is probably more likely to adapt this catastrophe of an idea.

Just a small bit of nuance that I neglected to give before, I do live in Sweden and $43k gets you much further in Sweden than in the US.

It’s a above median income, which is about $38k. (Both numbers are rounded, in total im line 6k above median per year). But still very significantly below what I can get with my same degree in industry.

It’s a known thing in academia, the pay is not great. Even very high ranking professors, who essentially could have a CEO-like position in industry, still don’t crack six digits here.

It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.

As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector.

Have become? If anything, iOS have historically been getting more customizable over time not less.

And I don’t think it’s really accurate to compare iOS with MacOSX and earlier, entirely different systems with different use cases and form factors. I’d recon if Apple released a phone in 2002 it’s be just as locked down.

Not trying to defend this by the way, just surprised by the usage of the word “become” here as if it used to be different for iPhones.

As far as I know they are planning to maintain it their own way. But I’m not exactly sure about the details on how compatible with RHEL they plan it to be in the future, how it will affect their own enterprise release in the long term.

They’re not hunting for forks one by one, instead they don’t release the source code anymore for non-costumers of RHEL, effectively killing off hard forks.

Care to explain why?

Isn’t abolishing the death penalty part of the requirements? And there’s some more that makes it simply unrealistic to think it’s happening in the next decade or two.

I’ve never seen such a thing in my life, but then again where I’m from even iPhone users barely use iMessage

Leaving voicemails? Seems my dude never left the early 90s either?

I honestly don’t really care, as long as you follow the golden rule (don’t be horny on main), I’m fine with my Lemmy comment history being tied to my real life persona. But I totally get why one would want the option for private names.

I’m sorry, we’re not force pushing on anyone without explicit consent from the maintainer over here >:-(

The Settlers used to be such an interesting series, I wish they’d find their form back again at one point.

At this point I’m kinda afraid to ask, but what’s with the bean memes? Seems like I’ve missed something

If you think four years of technical debt is a lot, wait until you hear about Microsoft Windows.
