What about https://snowflake.torproject.org/?

I think it would be very interesting to convert e.g. a regular Fedora installation into a (so-called “immutable”) Fedora Silverblue installation or vice-versa.

As someone who develops and distributes a small application exclusively on Flathub, I prefer that everyone uses the exact same package on every system. That way I know that if something doesn’t work, the issue should be easy to reproduce.

Recently, there was a situation where a user indicated in the comments of a release announcement that a newly introduced feature “doesn’t work”. It turned out that they installed a third-party package from the AUR (that wasn’t updated yet) without knowing that this isn’t the official and up to date version.

But it comes at the cost of obscurity, Codeberg is a big player but any instance you find is isolated, and any devs you entice to help you need to register additional accounts personal to that instance.

It should be noted that Forgejo is working on implementing federation using ForgeFed, which is based on ActivityPub.

Oh, that’s sad. See https://mastodon.social/@compositor@wayland.social for some of their posts.

Fuck X.com, all my homies use wayland.social

This is more of a general suggestion: if you use Regular Expression, use https://regex101.com. It provides syntax highlighting, explains the syntax and allows you to test your regexes.

Additionally, I think that sd is way more intuitive than sed.

I’ll look into it if I find the time.

It uses the browser preference for light/dark theme by default

This doesn’t work for me. It seems like you are using leptos_use::use_preferred_dark with server-side rendering which unfortunately uses the experimental Sec-CH-Prefers-Color-Scheme header which isn’t supported by all browsers, e.g. Firefox.

In my opinion, it is way better to implement theme switching on the client side. The prefers-color-scheme media query is better supported across browsers and allows reacting to a change of the user’s system preferences.

This project sounds like a great idea!

Dark mode, so that you can write articles from the beach or from your basement

It would be great if it respected my browser’s prefers-color-scheme setting.

The Flatpak is official.

But gnome apps don’t do that on XFCE. simple-scan and zenity as an example.

The latest version of both simple-scan and zenity do support custom accent colors. AFAICT, XFCE doesn’t support the XDG accent color setting.

Please don’t implement libadwaita, guys.

This is just extremely misleading. Libadwaita uses the system accent color by default which makes it even easier respect the users preference when developing a GTK application.

It looks and feels nice, let’s see how it compares to Jerboa in daily use.

Pistachios aren’t actually nuts. They’re drupes

To explain it a bit further: when you move a file/directory on the same mount point, moving the file/directory is essentially just a rename operation, which doesn’t involve copying the data itself and is a very cheap operation. If you move a file/directory across mount points, you need to (recursively) copy the file/directory, copy file metadata and (recursively) delete the old file/directory, which is slow and error-prone.

the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu

This isn’t some “idiotic principle invented by Ubuntu”, it just follows the freedesktop.org Trash specification. For many users, it can be really beneficial, see also the spec’s introduction:

An ability to recover accidentally deleted files has become the de facto standard for today’s desktop user experience.

Users do not expect that anything they delete is permanently gone. Instead, they are used to a “Trash can” metaphor. A deleted document ends up in a “Trash can”, and stays there at least for some time — until the can is manually or automatically cleaned.

Whether an application like Prism Launcher should use the trash can or delete the files directly is an entirely different question.

The error message is very detailed and there is nothing to add to it.

If you want to install an application/CLI tool, use pipx or your system package manager. If you want to install a library, use a virtual environment (e.g. by using python -m venv) or your system package manager.

This is extremely sad. I use Syncthing a lot to sync documents between my phone an my computer.

The main benefit over client/server-based solutions are that it always works.
No network connection? No problem, the files are all stored locally.
I broke my home server again? No problem, the devices can talk directly to each other.

I love FairEmail’s simplified mail viewer that doesn’t render HTML mails completely and they look more like an enhanced plain text mail instead.
