If Axel Springer didn’t own a significant share of the company, I would give them a shot

…Except there are three players in that game already. Go by the names of Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu

The GDPR is definitely neither wits end, nor applied reasonably under all circumstances. I have my doubts that these “cutbacks” will be the adequate reforms however.

Sure, you can put that in there. But no sex! I’m shy 🤭

Ma’am this is a Wendy’s

Cotton topper / mattress protector. Helps to catch and distribute heat and moisture. In my experience also improves sleep quality

I can understand people not wanting to learn a ton of CLIs, I cannot understand people refusing to use any at all. They have the distinct advantage that you can copy + paste stuff, whereas in Windows you sometimes have to follow like a dozen steps to do whatever you want to do in a 2000s GUI.

1/3 of the Steam + Linux market, that accounted for an incredible 1.45% of Steam installs in February. This means there were roughly 67 Windows gamers for every Linux gamer (using Steam) that month.

So even if Linux gamers are 10 times more likely to care (and pay for) for game preservation, you are not even approaching the number of Windows users that might. Suppose 90% of Linux gamers care, while only 9% on Windows do, you still have roughly 9 Windows users for every Linux one. And this is a very generous assumption to make.

Maybe, eventually, at some point, this makes sense financially. But if your goal is to be profitable, you grab the low hanging fruits first, not invest in maybe 10% more potential users.

What if I told you that the intersection between people who care and the 5% of their potential audience that are Linux users is very small either way?

I’m not saying Linux isn’t a chance for them, but it’s also an investment and very like not a profitable one for quite a while.

I hate it when people want to hate on something, yet get the platform or alternatively the proposition wrong. Because you will release stuff as a Flatpak and possibly on Flathub.

You could also buy insanely expensive IBM enterprise hardware. I think they still do PowerPC stuff

eDolf Musk is learning a valuable lesson: As a billionaire, you can basically do what you want. Except if you are in a very competitive business and it makes people hate your guts.

I know this isn’t Greek, but I immediately thought of pesos and I bet you some people are gonna be hella mad if you call the US a pesocracy

lol

Go to settings, search for Application Style, there, in the top right you can click Gtk Theme and select one. You can also click Get new.. and download a new one. Note that they might now show all by default.

You can find more via the website. To do so, select any, click Visit project website and search the site for more. To find them in the Get new... window, just put the name in the search bar. They are guaranteed to show then.

Edit: Any of the items I named might be slightly off. Need to get to my computer to correct that 😄

Well…

I feel connected to my city, my region, the EU and Germany in that order. Which is how it’s supposed to be I guess, except that EU and Germany are swapped for some facist reasons

It’s so weird how people in power play the most dangerous games in countries where the population is not disarmed

I have a wireless keyboard. It comes with its own dongle, so you can expect it to work with some generic keyboard driver. I plugged into my USB-hub, works just fine on Linux. No lag, no nothing.

On Windows? Well, it works, but the audio device I have plugged in just straight up refuses to function while the dongle is hooked up as well. It seems to gobble up pretty much the entire bandwidth. Amazing.
