I’m all for this change, but hopefully it means Mozilla will put some more energy into Gecko to make it competitive with WebKit in speed and multimedia capability (P3 colors, HDR images, JPEG-XL, etc)

MuPDF comes by default on CalyxOS, and is what I use.

Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time

FYI, the Pixel 8’s processor is certainly less efficient than the S23’s. If it is reportedly getting better battery life, that’s likely software related.

I agree with this the most. People obsess over the start menu paradigm simply because they like it in Windows. I desire more open mindedness when it comes to looking into alternative ways to interact with your computer, so I align with GNOME.

“Anything immutable” is bold. Any bad experiences, personally? I don’t think they’ve negatively impacted the desktop Linux landscape as a whole…

This is a balanced take in my opinion. Also an Arch user. Distrobox has helped remedy things somewhat.

I see a lot of Framework recommendations, and I had the 12th gen Framework for around a year running Fedora. I faced a bunch of excessive power use issues, and had to add some kernel flags just to get maybe 4 hours of battery life. The device is notoriously repairable, but the one thing that conked out on me was actually the mainboard, which was like the price of a new device. Support spent two weeks trying to find out if it was anything else before sending me a replacement mainboard.

My friend recently got a Zenbook 14 OLED with the same processor. The entire device was $200 cheaper lightly used than the Frameworks mainboard alone, and the only issue is the speakers don’t work. That being said, he gets almost double my battery life, and a 90hz OLED screen on top of it all. Plus more ports; even with Framework’s modular add-in cards I don’t feel it is as flexible a system as having >4 useful ports.

My time with the Framework was great, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Getting something secondhand is an environmentally conscious option, and you can get great stuff secondhand.

I don’t know if Lemmy is the best place to ask, lol

It sounds like it is time to defederate. We’ll miss the instance but we understand why it must be done

I don’t think it would be unreasonable to boycott all modern games until the industry seriously changes

Lemmy.world has a storied history of being a shit instance. Go ahead & leave ASAP

I think everyone would rather development effort for games go into Linux as opposed to macOS.

And you’ll still hear “Well I know everything about Windows sucks and now I’m being charged out the ass, but I refuse to even consider switching because [one particular game doesn’t work / I’m used to it]”

There is an open issue for JPEG-XL support. Once Cromite adopts JXL, I’d be willing to switch over

• joins Lemmy.world, notoriously mismanaged instance
• stereotypes the rest based on one experience

It also doesn’t require that this person you don’t know have any legal obligations regarding data handling.

There should be an instance with an actual registered organization behind it - privacy policy & all to back up its legitimacy. Without this, Lemmy is a hard sell for a lot of people who don’t want to just hand off their information to a person who may or may not be doing certain things with it.
