OBS could do that, I suppose. Add a screen capture source, and place a color source behind it sized 10px larger than the screen capture rect. Hit record.

right click menu icons

I think they might be referring to icons next to menu items in the right click menu.

I think those icons can be handy sometimes, but I find them to be massively overused in KDE especially, to the point that it feels visually overwhelming sometimes. Having zero icons at all in GNOME might be the other extreme, but I appreciate how clean it looks.

Blender using icons strategically to visually group related items is probably the best of both worlds.

Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don’t think I’ve run across that so much as the “everything ever made must be rewritten in rust” crowd, and then everyone else who doesn’t much care what language is used as long as it works.

Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.

Possibly using yt-dlp or one of the dozens of frontends for it. I don’t know if it works for YouTube Music, but it’s free and easy to use, so you might as well give it a shot.

We went ahead and disabled the X11 session by default and from now on it needs to be explicitly enabled when building the affected modules. (gnome-session, GDM, mutter/gnome-shell).

Aside from a simple flag change and a recompile before Canonical adds the packages to their repo, it doesn’t sound like this will affect Ubuntu at all. They probably already do this anyway to add their own little patches.

The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.

GNOME 50 is when Canonical will truly need to either move to Wayland or do something else.

Seems fairly reasonable of a timeline from the GNOME team, IMO.

It’s not defeatism

that’s how the system works

So, it’s not defeatism, you’re just arguing for maintaining the status quo? If that’s not defeatism in the face of a system that is mass arresting people, then what is it? What exactly is your point?

Edit: ah, just noticed that you are a moderator of [email protected]. Maybe you really do want to uphold the status quo of Trump’s directives.

There absolutely are great people and geniuses in every generation. There always will be, since both terms are relative comparisons to contemporaries.

Great people and geniuses tend not to be the sort of people who are drawn to exploiting others for profit or political power, so you can mostly safely assume anyone who is a billionaire or a career politician is neither great nor genius.

The public out there on the streets of LA this weekend are certainly doing substantial things. Why the defeatism? Go join them and help.

People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.

Even the linked article whines about how they don’t want to use Peertube because “the audience for the content is 100x smaller” but that’s at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren’t going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don’t post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.

There’s not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.

Sadly, Duolingo is quickly becoming AI infested shit. I have been using it for years now, it’s very frustrating to see it declining in quality.

Unfortunately, all the calendar solutions seem to be pretty terrible in one way or another. Your NextCloud server along with DAVx⁵ on Android is the most functional private alternative, IMO.

The setup still sometimes has some of the same issues that all calendars seem to have (even Google’s and Apple’s): occasional sync issues, or old deleted appointments that mysteriously show up again, or calendars duplicating themselves.

I don’t know why calendaring seems to be one of those things that just never really got done well, it seems like it should be a solved problem by now.

I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.

press your eyes real hard

You did say this originally in a way that could be concerning. It’s unsurprising that someone would advise caution.

the mild pressing

Then you understated yourself in response to someone showing care towards you.

gently pressing

In your quest to refuse to graciously accept any kind of good-natured advice, you’ve moved pretty far away from the “press your eyes real hard” that you started with.

You could have just said “Oh, thanks for the warning, I’ll be careful.” and moved on.

Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There’s literally always going to be someone out there who doesn’t have the same information that you do.

Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.

I used to use Pano for that, but it’s extension page hasn’t been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It’s not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.

Both options can be bound to Super+V, that’s exactly the key combo I use for it.

The Penguin tried out an ordinary office job after the last time Batman beat the shit out of him.

Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as “don’t use GNOME if you have Nvidia”.

Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I’ve never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.

Why use the AI in the first place then? Just search for the actual recipe sources from the start.
