I know you’re trolling but I had to look it up:

Since wealth and corruption are two sides of the same coin it’s not that surprising, I think.

Wtf.

Nice, we should post it on Peertube then if it isn’t on tgere already …

Yay:

Can we get the UK on board with this as well? (Maybe when they rejoin the EU? And let’s drive on the same site of the road as 98% of the planet while we’re on it).

So what are you using on the desktop and how long have you been using it? I’ve switched to Linux / open source software a year ago and especially learning programs (design / media tools in my case) was super painful for some time. But I had the motivation of not wanting to use an OS that tries to spy on me and getting away from a super shady monopolist (Adobe) as a motivator that kept me going. Sure there are still some things that get on my nerves but those exist in Microsoft’s (and Apple’s) and Adobe’s products as well.

I guess you have checked out Krita? I like it a lot.

Looks like https://apps.yunohost.org/catalog can hist both.

And so it begins …

Ooops, yes, sorry, Eevee is Blender’s real time renderer (like a game engine) that fakes fakes a lot of stuff while Cycles is the classic “physics-based” renderer. I heard that it took under a minute to Render a frame which is absurd for movie quality. But it makes sense since the look is kinda stylized (only noticed in the cinema that characters are kinda cell shaded) but it still looks so good, the lightning, fog, water, bloom, dephth of field, wow. Was really worth it watching on the big screen. Story is a bit weird but loved the characters and their interactions.

Haha, whoops, I’ve been using Futo Keyboard for month, (it’s amazing!) not realizing that it’s sponsored by the same company that also gives money to Immich, nice!

Now this one I can get behind!

Just saw Flow at the cinema, I can’t believe they rendered this all in Eeevee, wth!

Yeah, I think it depends on how the distro decides to implement it, can’t remember now but I think e. g. in Fedora KDE you need to tick a box somewhere in Discover’s (KDE’s updater) settings (and then it’s Fedora’s own Flatpak repo?). In Bazzite which I’m using atm it’s Flatpaks all the way down anyway 😸

It’s also quite nice in KDE that you can do Flatpak permissions etc in System Settings.

It’s been rock solid for me, Bazite comes with Nvidia drivers (it has different images for old and new cards), so no fiddling with installing drivers in top of the system (like e. g. in Kinoite) that break during major version updates (e. g. Fedora 40 t0 40). I think I’ve installed it in four different systems (all Nvidia GPUs and either Intel or Amd CPUs) and it worked flawlessly every time.

It’s interesting and kinda cool that you can’t tell what distro it’s running on when using Flatpak. I would have thought that there’s some way to find out (it would be important for fixing bugs, I guess?)

Ah, yes, “Flatpak”, my favourite distro 😸

Have been on Walyand for a year now, no problems except for a weird big in Inscape so thst runs in X11 mode.

There’s also bs like this:

The browser is cool but Mozilla as a company is an absolute trainwreck of borked public communication (again and again and again) and bullshit products that noone asked for (Pocket, AI etc).

Is this a request for a guide on setting up torrenting and arrs or cracking Amazing Prime DRM? (=is the show available on the high seas or not)
