Bismuth (and Krohnkite before) never worked nearly as well for me, and AFAIK are both abandoned. The built in tiling is closer to FancyTiles/tiling zones, not auto-tiling like Pop Shell. Pop Shell also has been here for “years” by that metric lol

Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.

I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.

GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.

Yeah… It always being there hardly makes it a “renaissance”, no?

Say this to my very large Canadian ISP who still doesn’t support IPv6 for residential customers. Last I checked, adoption in Canada was still under 50%.

How so? Outside very niche stuff or podcasts I just don’t seem to it used that often.

Eh, from what I could gather from both specs ATProto does address some shortcomings of ActivityPub, so the idea has some technical merit. While a lot of the current Fediverse seems to have settled on AP, it’s not like it’s the be-all and end-all of federated protocols either.

Maybe you’re just talking about the company behind it?

I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…

Yeah, I’m no graphic designer but the fediverse logo looks like a nightmare to render at small sizes, which is what designers are looking for in a logo, typically - something that is easy to recognize, tells something about the product, and scales well at all sizes, from favicon to building sized ad. I like that it conveys its own meaning really well, but it’s also extremely busy. So many crossing lines in such a small space just looks like a garbled mess at small sizes. Take this image and scale it down to 16x16px, you can see what I mean.

KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?

I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

I’m genuinely curious what you consider to be the “Arch experience”, other than pacman.

Papyrus or bust

The non proportional font on terminal 🤌

Ok, I laughed

You completely missed the point.

You’re using a statistic that literally tracks web views to justify your view that Linux users that just use it for work by browsing the web don’t really count. You say this despite them having counted as Windows users on their work machines, using the same metric, since forever before they had to use Linux.

This. OP seems to discredit those numbers based on two arguments.

1. They’re not personal computers but work PCs
2. Those computers are mostly using a web browser and that’s it - no “paradigm change”

However, this is ignoring that

1. those computers counted when they were on Windows too
2. those genuinely working from a browser could probably have done so on Windows as well, no “paradigm change” either going on here
3. the usage stats are counted from web hits anyway

Considering this, I’m not entirely sure why the numbers wouldn’t be any more or less significant than before.

Just like they previously counted for Windows before switching. I don’t understand why you arbitrarily decide that commercial/enterprise use is not a valid piece of market share that’s been part (if not the largest piece of) the counter since forever. Hell, the market share counter literally counts web browser hits lol

On a hospital PC?
