Even if prices won't go down until 2030, keep boycotting & protesting AI. Pop the bubble the sooner the better.
I think GNOME's extensions system is fine. It's a fair compromise between tight design and flexibility. But there definitely needs a better bridge between 2 major versions so that extensions are smoothly moved over to the new version for the end users.
Tech news today is entertaining. It's like watching a bunch of clowns dancing in a circus.
It's interesting how Zen is supposed to be a fork of Firefox, but it has a lot of performance issues that Firefox doesn't seem to have. Looks amazing, but I'll hold off on it until it goes out of beta.
Use minimal AUR packages & check PKGBUILDS for all of them before updating/installing. That's the nature of the AUR. If you can't bother to read 5 lines of code, probably best stick to something like Flatpak.

If your service doesn't provide its own auth, consider myself gone.
Just...amazing line of thought. Another instance of over-engineering(?) to the point of being horrible. There is no way that is a problem, and even if it is, you can't tell me you can't come up with a simple solution to it. This is simply not a show-stopper, but a personal (non)use case of someone higher up.
Just GNOME in general I guess, constantly shooting itself in the foot.

GitHub's reliability is freaking ridiculous at this point. People should move off it ASAP. We have options.
GNOME is good, *only* if you know what you're doing. So no, it's not beginner-friendly.
Why does gnome-shell hog my dGPU by default...
> On Linux, the quick terminal is only supported on Wayland and not X11, and only on Wayland compositors that support the wlr-layer-shell-v1 protocol. In practice, this means that only GNOME users would not be able to use this feature.
God damn it GNOME.

It's an insane decision, but at least there's a gsettings option to change that. But GNOME seriously needs to change their way of thinking if they really want to **serve** the users, not fight them every step of the way. There definitely are things without a gsettings that have driven me mad before.
Game changer information on the test tone!
How about just... give us options, GNOME? Shove it in Gsettings if you hate cluttering the settings menu that much. GNOME is beautiful but it really is holding itself back due to being overly opinionated...

#QuodLibet might be the closest thing to #MusicBee on Linux. It definitely still lacks features, but shout out to them 👍🏼. I'll explore it in depth when I have more time. Onto testing the DAC & amp as well as EQ capability.
So much headache deciding on my music player, but ultimately will still have to mess with Wine for Apple AAC to work. Oh well.
10 years ago I had all the time in the world and tried Arch Linux just for development and it was great. Now with life giving me lemons every day, being able to install CachyOS on a relatively recent laptop and just having everything working OOTB is a different kind of joy.
