Lmao, yeah sure I'll engagement farm my container repo. Definitely.

Why is it so hard to download my messages from iCloud?
They make it really easy to sync with iCloud, but difficult to actually get that data back locally.
Can't wait for #postmarketos to feel daily drivable for me #linux #mobile
Tokodon and NeoChat are probably some of the closest apps I have to having a proper mobile experience, so kudos!
(Wish that zed worked on here, but I think it needs glibc)
Having coreutils on Windows really makes a world of difference for my sanity when using my work computer.
Using a walking pad because I live in the United States and I don't get the passive exercise of walking around everywhere :(
@aks@scalie.zone I personally gave up on helix because some of the things I need in an editor (integrated terminal, file manager sidebar, global search and replace) were either not implemented or outright NACK'd from being in Helix.
Also the development pace is very slow, and only the core devs can make big changes to the editor, there's supposed to be a plugin system in a lisp-y language, which I'm not a fan of, etc.

@godotengine@mastodon.gamedev.place What an incredible release!
While Fedora will contain tagged updates only, nightly #cosmic updates will continue to be made at my copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ryanabx/cosmic-epoch/
I don't plan on stopping the builds and won't even consider it until at least 1.0.0

Update: looks like we have enough karma for it to be considered stable for F41! Should be out in the next day or so.

If you'd like to see COSMIC reach Fedora 41 quicker, make sure to test it and leave feedback at the bodhi link I posted up there!

@aks@scalie.zone I doubt this fork is going to have any traction because the Zed team is really good at getting third party contributions despite their CLA. They haven't pissed off their community (yet) and I'm afraid it will be too late by the time they do.

How does appd fit into this? Varlink alone seems like it'd be enough to replace dbus. Would appd be for authentication and such?
P.S. we should definitely expose varlink interfaces as alternatives to DBus if possible in the nearer future than appd ;p
I’m sick of healthcare costs in the US 😒. That’s all
@aks@scalie.zone No, I'm currently using Zed, as much as I hate their CLA garbage, and like a lot of editors they are focusing a lot on AI, but it's the least bad for me at this time since I need to get actual work done. I don't feel like with Helix I can get actual work done, at least not as efficiently, since I'm missing crucial things.
Just had maybe a good idea for once?
Why aren't display notches described in the device tree for the panel? Especially with xdg-cutouts being worked on, being able to reference a devicetree property to know the panel's cutouts would be a nice standard way to reach that info.
Compiling rust programs really makes me want more RAM 😔

@aks@scalie.zone GAHH finally there's someone else online as angry as I am at Zed's weird terms and conditions. (I wish he would have mentioned the CLA as well)

Zed is "open source" with a backdoor for the Zed Industries company to take full control if they want to.
