@AtomCrisp @_wrbr @wangzhr4 Do you replace Firefox with the Flatpak version or find a DEB somewhere?

@_wrbr @wangzhr4 This is the way. Just remove snapd .

I used Ubuntu for years, but I have a question: Why the hell is "snap" there when I have apt and dpkg?

@christo45970188 @ThePrimeagen What is a better decision in your opinion?

@smishtw @ThePrimeagen And that means management always makes good decisions? You really need to find a new crack dealer

what do you think of codeberg banning ai code? why? what is the benefit?

@christo45970188 @ThePrimeagen It's one of the best FOSS projects out there. Even big corporations are adopting it.

@smishtw @ThePrimeagen Thats pretty damning

@christo45970188 @ThePrimeagen KDE is the best thing that originated in Germany.

@ThePrimeagen codeberg is a German dinosaur. Germans arent capable of doing modern software, they are too pedantic and hobbled by fear of anything new. i know, im german. most german programmers are severely antisocial people. programming is a team effort.

@Sarcose @nixcraft Triple A devs would never use LLMs entirely. It's most likely that critical parts of the code is purely human while filler is LLMs.

@nixcraft Realistically: the triple A devs aren't telling you about it. Ideologically that doesn't mean I support the replacement of developers with vibe coding. It's just the dialectical analysis of where we're headed. LLMs WILL get good enough - even if they destroy the planet for it.

If LLMs are good at coding, why don't we see any killer games or apps written in them largely? Where are all those vibe coded apps and their solo developers making millions? 😂

The Ubuntu team at Canonical appears to be doing everything they can to force the broken Rust Coreutils clones (known as “uutils”) onto your Ubuntu installation… even if you try to keep using the (working, well tested, non-Rust) GNU Coreutils. Ubuntu has created a Rust “Coreutils” clone package which, when you do an upgrade, “will pull in coreutils-from-uutils”. Want to revert back to the GNU (non-Rust) Coreutils? You can do that (temporarily) by jumping through some hoops… But Ubuntu has laid traps to re-install the untested Rust clones whenever you install or update some regularly installed packages, such as “build-essential”. According to the change notes which added this trap, the purpose was explicitly “forcing builds to use the uutils [Rust clone] variant.” In other words, if you use Ubuntu: You’ll use untested Rust code, and you’ll be happy.

@Itsfoss Who said so?

How come Ubuntu became the most hated distro in the desktop Linux community?

@asm_0x90 @rekdt It's not yours. You just borrowed it.

@bl4sty @vaxryy Hey, this was my pfp in 2012. Give it back.

@vaxryy dunno about the sentiment of that post but > Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs is a pretty slick burn ngl

all I can say about the zig guy blog post is that hyprland is not getting slop-rewritten you're welcome

@noor36758 @SakshiSugandhi What is this "Windows behavior"?

@SakshiSugandhi Exactly.... Linux gets fun once you stop expecting Windows behavior

Unpopular opinion: Linux gets easy the moment you stop forcing it to act like Windows.

@proxy_vector @SakshiSugandhi Jibber jabber. Not a single thought behind these words 😂

@SakshiSugandhi Yes. Linux gets easier once you learn its model instead of translating every concept from Windows. The real turning point is usually files, processes, and permissions, not shell commands.

@madvithhere @COSMIC_desktop There's no night light? 🤯

@COSMIC_desktop Can you guys add the night light feature please. I really need it

System Monitors are usually an afterthought. Not this one. COSMIC System Monitor was built with the same attention to design as the rest of the DE. Dashboard view, per-resource charts, top processes at a glance. Read the full story on our blog! Link in the replies below.

@LundukeJournal I hope the efforts to iron out Wayland quirks don't exceed efforts went out to develop XFCE.

The XFCE Desktop Environment has just released their first Preview Release of running on Wayland. And, as expected, it is horribly, horribly broken. Not because it is a “Preview Release”, nor because of any deficiency on the part of the (full time, paid) developer working on this effort, but because of severe limitations in Wayland. Many of them. For example, this one jumped out on the list of known issues: “Most (all?) apps will not be able to restore their window positions or workspace on startup”. This is a long-standing, known, deliberate limitation in Wayland. One of many. One might ask why XFCE would spend their (limited) funds on work which, due to the very nature of Wayland itself, is certainly going to hit such significant roadblocks. Many of which will be unable to be overcome. More details in this announcement post: spurint.org/journal/2026/0…
