While people in power are absolute evil most of the time, this is not an excuse to change your own morals for the worse.

Small acts of kindness, when taken in decent quantity, change the world no less than massive fraud and sex trafficking.

That said, one of the most moral things to do is to be on the lookout for powerful people doing nasty things and do everything in your capacity to prevent or at least retaliate. This makes abuse less common, and goes a long way to restore democracy and responsibility for everyone.

I'd say go KDE.

GNOME looks like it will be good for portable devices, but it's kinda not.

First, in my experience, Fedora on GNOME completely ignores battery limits (which are also set by jumping through so many hoops you can't even imagine). It just drains this thing to 0, which is not great for longevity. KDE, on its end, has it all in the GUI and it works flawlessly on all distros I tested.

Second, KDE has made plenty of great optimizations for touchscreens. A while ago, it was not great, but now it's just the best at handling them, especially if you theme it respectively and do not rely on defaults.

Third, customizations are so much better in KDE. You can make her laptop look and feel like a MacBook in no time, and edit everything to be touch-friendly.

One thing GNOME does well though for the use case you describe, though, is app theming, namely Adwaita. Luckily, Adwaita-themed apps and style editors for the rest are freely available on KDE, and you can even change their look as you like.

So, yeah, go KDE.

To clarify against what many people jump to assume: Collective Shout is not a religious organization. Its stated goal is protecting children against content they believe may help form dangerous and abusive behaviors in real life. (Needless to say, science does not seem to back these claims)

This doesn't make them right by any means at all, but we need to understand our enemy if we want to be productive in fighting it.

Alright, you bought me with this

Amazing presentation and nice that you have a demo!

[-] Pika@rekabu.ru 6 points 1 week ago

Could be, but how do you verify such claim?

You cannot assume gender by the position a given person takes, it's antithetical to a productive discussion and may only serve to reinforce your (likely false) views.

Hey there! My achievements are small, and I'm amazed at your level of organizing, but I also took part in something - I've helped organize locals against illegal construction site in the area. If they would push it, not only it would destroy our small and dear park, it would also severely stress water supply and cast a big shadow, breaking the laws on insolation norms (we live in a very cloudy city as it is).

We organized 24/7 watch and were not hesitant to call the police while others worked with papers and invited officials. As a result, the city governor has personally visited the place and the construction was banned. We were also offered financing to reorganize and improve the park, and are currently working on a makeover.

In the place where I live, people are generally politically passive, but this case has proven to me that even here, change can be achieved.

Being alive is the only time when you can influence something, and as such, when your actions mean something.

When you're dead, it's over. There could be an opportunity for you to make something better for others or for your own enjoyment - but now all chances are gone.

So, why letting go of this amazing ability?

My apologies, I missed that one!

This is probably going to seem wildly low-effort compared to my usual posts here

My man, you just compiled tons of obscure posters from the corners of the Internet. I admire your dedication, and this does take an effort.

Hello there, fellow Linux folks!

So, having previously tried Arch and some of its derivatives, I've found it incredibly useful to have systemd showing processes when I turn my system on and off.

However, my current distro (OpenSUSE Slowroll) doesn't do this. Is there a way to enable it?

[-] Pika@rekabu.ru 3 points 3 weeks ago

Fair!

The vote resulted negatively, BTW, as far as I've heard. 32-bit are there for now.

[-] Pika@rekabu.ru 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fedora is just a no-drama distro that works, and I love it

It's a very recent development, so no wonder you missed it. Yes, Pewdiepie went full Arch with Hyprland and made his Steam Deck into a server and I'm not even joking :D
