If you disable pasting in your password field, I hate you. I hate you even more if you don't have a "show password" button so I can verify that I'm typing my password correctly since you won't let me paste

Does anyone know of a good spot to buy pieces of wall art that hasn't been flooded by AI art?

What's the current status of SteamVR and GNOME Wayland?

How are Nvidia drivers for Linux these days?

I hate AI generated political memes so much. *Especially* the realistic ones.

What the heck is Fediforum and what have they done?

fwiw GNU Imp isn't a GNOME project per se. It uses our infra, but it's not part of GNOME and doesn't follow GNOME's release processes or project governance. It's in the GNOME/ namespace on GitLab for historical reasons.
It was previously on the old GNOME CGit alongside many other third party apps, and for a time all apps that were there were put into the GNOME/ namespace. For a few years some newer third party apps got moved into that namespace, but nowadays we keep it to things that are official. Old projects remain due to the hassle of transferring namespaces.
I'm not fond of the name at all personally - I was the one who opened the rebranding issue years ago that lead to the Glimpse fork.

The story was way more interesting when Snoke was some unknown old man trying to reforge the empire to his own ends, manipulating Kylo Ren to do his bidding. It was so much more interesting when Kylo and Rey then cut him out of the story, opening things up to forge a new path. And then the writers squashed all of that cool stuff!!!

Snoke being a clone/"strandcast" of Palpatine is really dumb and completely unnecessary. Going back to Palpatine for trilogy #3 was also unnecessary. Both choices are things that frustrate me so much about TRoS. Star Wars could have gone in a cool new direction, and instead they decided to say "erm, it was actually all Palpatine all along"

It's mildly annoying that I can't easily plug two computers into each other and transfer files from one to the other :/

Just ordered a Framework; My old laptop is officially dead at this point, and I find myself frustrated to not have a capable computer when I go somewhere to visit family.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cloud infrastructure providers (of any type) that allow me to pay a capped price for services? I'd rather have my sites choke than being hit with an unexpected bill in case I go over some arbitrary threshold.

With the Supremacy Clause in mind, just how safe are blue states in reality? I feel like moving to a blue state isn't really a good long-term solution given what the Republicans will be passing on the federal level.

Election night in 2016 killed my optimism and my religiousness. Tonight feels... somewhat worse.

No hyperbole, if people on the left don't get out and vote this year, it may be the last real election we have in the US. It's that important.

2024-10-28 20:52:41 UTC

Even if you're disillusioned with electoral politics, I implore all people in the US eligible to vote: please vote. You may think things can't get worse if Trump wins again, but they absolutely can - for everyone in the world.

Having an adaptive file chooser makes mobile GNOME infinitely more usable. It's amazing! A huge source of friction is just gone now

My dream is that one day, game developers will open source their games after they reach the end of support.

I really love the way GNOME apps look nowadays. Adwaita is so gorgeous.
