For what it’s worth, I regularly switch depending on what I’m doing (AwesomeWM for X11 and Hyprland for Wayland)

If you’re fine with Wayland, go with Wayland. There are lots of reasons still that people might prefer X11 but the list has been getting shorter.

• The security model of Wayland is more restrictive than necessary for many users and means things like screen sharing and desktop toys are harder and not universally implemented or doable.
• Wayland effectively requires many things to be handled by the same process, preventing traditional modular environments (e.g. separating window manager from compositor no longer possible)
• Explicit compositor support required for more features, meaning having a feature complete environment in small projects is much harder, and the design of Wayland tends to promote a few large desktop environments rather than many small window managers.
• NVidia’s support for Wayland is still improving
• Wayland can’t rotate your screen to be on an angle to maximise the length of a line
• Several programs I rely on don’t support Wayland well yet
  • Steam doesn’t stream from Wayland
  • Transparent bits of FreeCAD show the background instead of what’s behind them
  • Code-OSS required a very silly workaround for decent font rendering, although I think this might have been fixed in electron

Mono is owned by WineHQ

And there are other tools that use the same database format. I use keepassDX and keepassXC

You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option

Catima can also handle pkpass (Apple wallet) files now, although last I checked it chokes on “pkpasses”, the zipped collective version

Despite the headline, this is being done by Thunderbird, not Mozilla

Thunderbird is completely independent of the Mozilla Corporation, the makers of Firefox. But the Mozilla Coperation[sic] supports Thunderbird by hosting many of the Thunderbird infrastructure and resources.

In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

You don’t happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that’s detailed, do you?

Fully half of the sessions I’ve sat down to play It Takes Two (from the same studio) I’ve been straight up unable to play it, because the EA launcher has been too jank to actually launch games.

That’s gone now thank god, but I still haven’t finished It Takes Two solely because of EA bullshit.

I do use Voyager primarily, but is there a single FOSS app that remembers where you were in a comment thread when you go back into it? IMO that’s Boost’s killer feature, and literally the reason I ever used it.

Boost has a payment option. It’s super cheap and one-time so it’s not much of a hurdle. I use voyager now because Boost got weirdly inconsistent when loading lemmy images and videos, but I’d kill to have that UI and persistence back.

Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.

Guess my aeroplane mode is never turning off now.

For the topic of the thread I’ll throw in “toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them”

The only time I’ve owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

+1. BinaryEye is far more reliable than the QR code reader in my camera.

It also has support for a large number of QRlike and barcode formats, and generation as mentioned.

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

“Easily” is definitely a stretch with the ones we were just given
