Then ask that question to yourself and think about whether the verification of an age is the issue with what’s going on here

Verification is the issue. Or, rather, it would be if there was any verification here at all.

I could put 1970-01-01 in that field no problem. Systemd has asked for precisely 0 additional information from any of its users, because it neither asks you to fill it in nor verifies that what you filled it with is correct. Just like the real name and location fields that were already present, which, might I remind you, are also PII.

Systemd isn’t the problem here. The laws are a problem and pissing in systemd’s direction won’t change that.

Unusable in what way? I’ve been rocking a B580 for a whole year now and the drivers have been more reliable for me than the GTX 1070 I used before it, for what thats worth.

There can be a ton of reasons, albeit I personally also just stick with default (for me zsh). In typical linux user fashion I also must tell you that bash and zsh are shells, not terminals.

The two main reasons you’d choose a particular shell is because you prefer it’s configurability or syntax. Zsh has a bunch of features that you can enable and you can configure it to behave basically however you want, like adding spelling correction or multiline editing, but it’s defaults absolutely suck unless your distro comes with a sensible config. Fish, which another guy here’s raved about, goes in basically the opposite direction and is really nice to use out of the box (I haven’t used it though). I hear it’s technically not a valid /bin/sh substitute like zsh or bash because of syntactic differences, but that’d be a whole other rabbit hole if true.

One other reason can be performance concerns because bash is pretty slow when treated as a programming language, but I’d argue you shouldn’t organize your workflow so that bash is a performance bottleneck.

Over Christmas I got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless controller because I found a GitHub gist page that showed it’d just take a udev rule to get all the features (gyro & extra buttons) working… only to find out that’s a different controller than the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth. Something to keep in mind. Additionally, now that I have the latter too I will note that I could only get those features working when it’s paired through bluetooth, not wired or using the WiFi dongle.

Where’d you get those numbers? I looked it up and they cost 20$, 10$, and 50$ respectively.

If your argument for Wayland is “stop using thousands of dollars in hardware to get it working”, then that’s not going to convince anyone. He doesn’t address that as a solution because that’s obviously a last resort.

has a topic related name

“wallwiz” is also pretty closely related to the topic. As OP states it also sounds less juvenile.

unique new logo

using a penguin as a mascot in foss is hardly unique.

uses ai in a useful way

we’re on lemmy so there’s almost certainly going to be a couple other replies that hammer on this specific point. But for my part: use of AI, to me, communicates a lack of effort. If they had commissioned someone who could be more familiar with the actual project to do the branding, that would tell me it’s a project they gave a shit about.

expresses art

I don’t consider “ai art” to actually be art. This is a whole debate we could have but I’ll leave it at that.

Unless you’re talking about the functionality of the program, but that’s separate from the branding issue OP is complaining about.

provides stuff to theme your distro

Yeah that’s just what the program does. OP has no issues there.

has a unique branding

The branding is ai generated, which is to say: it looks like any other github repo with a filled out README.md

is inclusive

What do you mean by this? Feels like a random adjective to throw out there.

Disposable sure, but it sounds like they’re describing using rechargeable ones?

The reaction to “I’m not your fucking therapist” being “Do you believe there is truly not a single valid reason to use windows whatsoever” is just as absurd IMO (though some of these threads show that, yeah, some people think that).

The scenario described by OP is they’re just complaining about something about Windows/iOS/whatever just to vent and these people come in thinking they’re being helpful by mentioning an alternative. I’ve come to find that there’s 2 (relevant) personality types; people who complain because it’s cathartic, and people who complain because they want their problem solved. Linux users are overwhelmingly the latter. So, from their perspective, they see someone who is complaining yet expects people to just sit there and listen, hence the “I’m not your therapist” comment.

I don’t think any of that is new, except for maybe the OS part. As a kid I remember seeing a bunch of interactions like this and it’s always been much more a personality than a culture thing.

I’m curious what games you’re playing. Back when I started using linux regularly (~2017) this was absolutely the case, and even for a few years after proton first released it still was. But my experience now is games fall on either two extremes of working out of the box or being completly unplayable.

Did they even have the option not to go nuclear? From the sounds of their blog post, they would have spent the proper amount of time to do what they were being “asked” (threatened) to do, if they were even given time to do so. They said their preferred decision would have been to ask every NSFW dev if they complied with the payment processors they accept, but the time they were expected to implement all that was so short that they couldn’t do that fairly.

I’d have to subtly disagree with this. It is really good advice, especially when the scope of your game is larger than what one could reasonably finish in a game jam; If you can’t get to a fun game in a couple of days or less, you need documentation as to what your plan is to get there.

The problem is that this is the best advice for someone who has the technical “hard” skills to make a game (compsci, digital art, etc.), but lacks the "soft"er skills (software eng., scheduling, etc). To be fair that is super common, but the OP implies to me they’re not confident that they have the technical skills either yet.

Without either of those skills you can’t know what’ll take a couple of days or what’s actually weeks of work, and the value you get out of design docs becomes effectively random.

The common advice that I’d have to agree with is that your first few games should be as small of a scope as you can make them. Other comments to this post already go into detail, but the jist is that when you’re starting the amount you learn is more per-project than per-hour, so get out as many small things as possible to get your bearings.

Once you’ve done that, this is really good advice for your first sizeable project.

Were you trying to set firefox’s volume? I’ve encountered that when I forgot I set the volume of a youtube video from in the video player. For whatever reason Firefox implements that functionality by repeatedly overwriting it’s own volume in pulseaudio/pipewire.
