@EdTheDev@infosec.exchange I dare to disagree. GNOME is what Apple desktop would be if they fixed some stuff. KDE is what Windows would be, if they cared to make a good desktop experience.
Saying that, Cinnamon is superior to both

No. It did not. The only thing that was added was an OPTIONAL, EMPTY BY DEFAULT field in the userDB. To accompany fields called "Name", "Surname" and "Location". Want to fill it? Fill it. Don't want to fill it? Don't fill it. Or lie about it. Fuck cares. It's an OPTIONAL COLUMN IN YOUR LOCAL DATABASE. NOTHING MORE.
If or when distros start requiring you to fill your DoB - go ahead, be offended, go with pitchforks and boycott the distros.
I really like the concept of #GrapheneOS and respect the work they're doing...
BUT
They have such a gigantic siege mentality, like everybody and everyone is out there to get them! The whole world apparently wants to see GrapheneOS destroyed, including other FOSS developers...

@niccolove@fosstodon.org people will say anything is vibecoded these days. And if you're capable of writing more than a few sentences coherently, they will say you wrote it using ChatGPT. "If you don't understand something, it must be magic".
There is this cool project, SyncIn - it has been accused of being vibecoded, based off code comments and emojis in README. I spoke to the dev - it is not. But it "kinda-sorta-maybe-looks-like" vibecoded, so people are quick to jump on the hatewagon...

@Gina@fosstodon.org @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl oh, seems amazing! Too often I see either code hosted on Github or Bitbucket (sure, great idea...) or some in-house self-hosted on-premise Gitlab instance, that's years behind updates and security fixes, because "it works and our infrastructure is hyper specific, so if we update it it will crash and burn".
Having one, open-source, European sovereign place for it, not managed by American megacorporation, and still following all security guidelines would be awesome.

@Gina@fosstodon.org wait, I could donate to Fosstodon all along?! Why isn't this advertised with the biggest banner in the world? Omw to find the donation link!
I just learned that Fedora plans to create a whole separate edition called Fedora AI Desktop. It's going to be an immutable edition, that comes packed full of tools and libraries essential for working with both local and remote AI.
And to be honest... It's the most mature and non-controversial way to "tickle" the AI-crazed enterprise space, without compromising their core product.
If it works out Fedora will have one more edition. If not, they shut it down, no biggie. But the core is safe!
So I've been looking for an alternative for #Google #Drive to host on my server. Very minimal requirements - only file storage, #WebDAV support, #Collabora integration (need mobile editor, and not going to pay OnlyOffice a single penny).
#Filebrowser #Quantum was closest, but (for now) it only supports OnlyOffice. Was also impressed by #GroupOffice, but the UI is very clunky and did not get "wife approval mark"
Finally landed on @sync_in@mastodon.social. Fits all my needs perfectly!

@Gina@fosstodon.org @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl you had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.
What "government-wide codeplaftorm" means? Is it "github for governments"? Like any government can just opt in and keep their code there? Or what?
@Gina@fosstodon.org hi there!
Afaik, the toot character limit on Mastodon is set on the instance level. Would it be possible to increase this limit on Fosstodon?
It's kinda annoying, trying to fit a meaningfull and elaborated discussion in 500 characters, especially since this has to also account for handles, hashtags and trigger warnings. As a result with longer threads you're often left with like 200 characters for the actual toot 😅
For example now I have only 24 characters left
This summarizes my experience every time I try GrapheneOS.
I might acutally be just cursed xD
@fabio@manganiello.eu the big picture that people miss here is that Ubuntu on minimal requirements is blazingly fast. Windows on minimal requirements is masohism incarnate

@thesaigoneer my main question is - is APT still used as alias for snap? If I 'apt install steam' does it still ignore my APT command and install Snap version?
Replying to
@thesaigoneer Uhhh I don't like this dishonesty... I mean okay, I understand, it's in theory to not throw error at the casual user who just found a Stack Overflow post from 15 years ago telling him to use APT, but still...

@getsolus one thing surprises me - why doesn't Solus, basically the origin of Budgie, not ship Budgie 10.10?

@akademy@floss.social @akademy@lemmy.kde.social pumped! Although I don't use KDE currently, I swear I'll switch to it, once bug 499472 is resolved
