From my time on reddit it always struck me as funny when some weirdo posted sex content on the r/LaTeX sub

I actually just had to go back to my house wanting to go to ride on a beautiful sunny day because didn't realized the front derailleur battery was knocked out.

I don't think it's the end of the world, though. After a lifetime of riding crappy bikes there are much more serious and dangerous stuff to be worried about.

Saw it and couldn't help laughing.

OTOH being so customizable seems to be a double-edged sword: people can customize almost everything they want but some can find that overwhelming or don't even want to spend time looking for a setting.

No you won't.

They won't throw more than a decade of work to the garbage because "30%" and Nvidia. Those issues can be fixed. Want them to be fixed? Stop complaining and contribute.

Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

I suppose it's like asking a biologist what type of dishes would they do with a plant species they just discovered

I don't know about others but I like my phones to actually last.

My previous phone was a Sony Xperia z1. It went with me for more than 7 years working great until I accidentally dropped it and the screen cracked. Changed the screen but it wasn't the same thing and the battery suffered too so decided to get another one, a Xperia 1ii. This november it's going to be 5 years since I got it and it's still going absolutely great.

But on both times they went great not only because Sony happens to make great hardware but because LineageOS - I've used it on other phones since it was CyanogenMod. As not everything in the world is perfect Sony gives no flying fucks about updates so in two years your phone is not going to get more official updates - enter LineageOS, GrapheneOS or what you like. I'm grateful those things exist, have donated to them and it will be very sad if one of those Google stupid movements make them vanish.

The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list

Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.

Because choices, freedom... that kind of stuff. And I say this as a now long time KDE user who used to use GNOME in the beginning.

That being said, what made me flee to KDE was realizing that its devs somehow think they know their users better than their users know themselves so they decided to develop a software metaphor with a utterly specific way to do things. Not that it's a bad thing per se, they can do whatever they want if they don't hurt anything or anyone else - but I wish people coming into the Linux and FOSS world could have that as a kind of warning when the distro they choose to begin their journey happens to ship GNOME as default.

Wishing to have stable Qt6 Krita soon

And what do we see? Virtually unchanged phones.

You say this as if it was a bad thing.
