  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • Since copy on highlight is default you literally just have to accidentally drag your mouse cursor in a terminal window and boom, you’ve copied empty text. It’s incredibly annoying.

  • Can I finally start using Wayland in 2026?

    Jump

  • he got hardware that worked with the default setup for the majority of linux DEs at the time... he literally followed your suggestion and has been waiting for support for it in wayland for a decade.

    this has to be the dumbest argument I've seen in a few months on here. you're literally telling someone to sell their car because you want them to switch to a different kind of engine that currently isn't compatible with their car, even though they haven't wanted to switch to a new engine for a decade.

    Jump

  • agreed. and middle click being paste has to be one of the stupidest defaults. I understand people use it, and whatever, everyone has their own workflow, but now middle click to drag doesn't work and you've confused everyone since now it's different everywhere.

  • it isn't if you've copied from an empty field by accident, or if your clipboard is empty.

  • People building spas for everything when literally 99% of sites on the planet would function better as a static site is infuriating. I’ve had so many arguments with devs because they will make up any thing they can to justify using react or angular or vue or whatever, instead of building a fucking static site.

  • What should I do if my violent brother is threatening to kill my parents (who I financially depend on and live with) and they aren't taking it seriously?

    Jump

  • There are ways to report without having the cops come immediately, which would resolve that problem.

  • Best indication that you are getting old

    Jump

  • This is a weird problem. The oldest people I know eat dinner at like 5:00pm, and go to bed at like 11. I usually eat within an hour of bed, but that’s like 11 or midnight.

  • Bed frame?

    Jump

  • We have a pottery barn bedframe. Crazy overpriced, but solid hardwood and they have white glove service and will assemble for you in place. It’s not shown any sign of wear in more than 5 years.

    Jump

  • You don’t have to call the cops to tell them to come. Simply file police reports for every thing that is happening. Eventually there will be enough evidence to stop him permanently without you having to flee.

    Hopefully at least.

    If he really did scream that loud, a neighbor reporting it wouldn’t be unlikely.

    This browser extension replaces Wikipedia's donation pop-ups with a counter of its real revenue

    Jump

  • I mean they don’t though. Traffic to wikipedia has barely increased while their revenue and expenses have increased massively.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2017-02-27/Op-ed

    From Wikipedias own reports, they spent more on travel than they did on hosting in 2015 and 16. I’m not going to bother finding the most recent one, but hosting has not increased by ~100x in 10 years. They’re blatantly wasting money to get more donations.

    Remember this when you think about buying from Modretro. (Palmer Luckey, being the founder of ModRetro, Oculus VR, and Anduril Defense)

  • He should test it, not he should get it tested.

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • I mean I know how to choose a distro and there’s no way in hell I’d ever use that chart to choose one. In addition I don’t really need to ask my wife because I can guarantee she wouldn’t read a single line of it.

    It’s not a hypothesis that the reason people don’t switch to Linux is because it’s too difficult for the layperson. If you give them a flowchart that’s larger than any flowchart they’ve ever seen before, before they even touch the operating system, there’s no way in hell they’re gonna use Linux.

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • Huh? A new user is going to have trouble understanding the base difference between gnome and kde. Flooding them with information about the history of all these operating systems will do nothing except to scare them off even more.

  • For a new person it’s useless. For anyone distro surfing why wouldn’t you just use distro Watch?

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • Six months ago??? People were saying to use mint back then too, like every thread. I understand it’s completely based on your hardware but you can understand how it’s hard to trust anyone saying mint right? On the other hand CachyOS and Garuda both work really hard to make sure every hardware config works properly.

  • Ukrainian soldier's M1 MacBook Air takes direct shrapnel hit, saving his life — screen cracked and letter 'K' missing but laptop remains functional

    Jump

  • I don’t think M1 has anything to do with the topic except as an advertisement. Title could literally be “MacBook Air takes a direct shrapnel hit” (air is relevant since it’s the thinness that matters) and it would be just as effective of a title.

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • Idk. I was making a joke though. A history of Linux chart is functionally useless for actually choosing a distro.
