I didn’t have any issues navigating your site on mobile. Not sure what difficulties these other comments are referring to, but I thought your site was an interesting retro-feeling experience, easier to use on mobile than a lot of other websites out there. 🤷 Good job so far!

The prevalence/popularity of an idea has no direct relationship to it’s merit.

In other words, even if there were no socialist friendly governments (which isn’t the case, but even if it were), that wouldn’t be proof that socialism is a bad idea.

Note: I realize this person is trolling; I’m not replying for their benefit. Still worth countering the nonsensical fallacy they’ve spewed into the community, IMO.

They still recommend not using it for anything important:

Bad things may happen if you use it in production.

They’ve had an image for years, but I don’t think it was a live boot image.

baffled how people see this as sad news

I don’t understand. Are you saying we should be happy to see more online communities being eliminated for the benefit of corporate interests? Why wouldn’t it be disappointing (aka, “sad”) to hear about more of that going on, even if you dislike the platform where it’s happening?

Using it at all, even pirated, means becoming contaminating on some level with Adobe paradigms and makes more people more likely to eventually hand Adobe more money because “it’s what I’m used to”.

At least pirate something that isn’t so disgusting, like Affinity, if you simply must use corpo software.

The autism component wasn’t explicit in the second movie, but it was established in the first.

Why does Ben Affleck suck?

That’s working as intended; as the compose docs state, the command passed by run overrides the command defined in the service configuration, so it wouldn’t normally be possible to actually shut down all the containers and then use docker compose run to interact with one of them. Run doesn’t start anything up in the container other than the command you pass to it.

I’m not familiar with funkwhale, but they probably meant either to (a) shut down all the containers except postgres so that running pg_dump has something to connect to, or (b) use exec as you have done.

Personally, I do what you did, and use exec most of the time to do database dumps. AFAIK, postgres doesn’t require that all other connections to it are closed before using pg_dump. It begins a transaction at the time you run it, so it’s not interfering with anything else going on while it produces output (see relevant SO answer here). You could probably just leave your entire funkwhale stack up when you use docker compose exec to run pg_dump.

Whatever distro you pick will have instructions for where and how to install the drivers, if it doesn’t do so for you during the install. Ubuntu is probably most likely to do so easiest. I prefer Fedora for other reasons, which is also easy to get nvidia working, but sightly less easy than Ubuntu where it’s a single checkbox during OS install.

The something that sucks is lack of money. Paying developers to do work definitely helps. It’s unfair to level unconstructive critique at the end result when it hasn’t ever had the same opportunity to thrive that the paid software you’re comparing it to had.

Serif produced a nice software suite by paying developers. They got that money from investors who made it by exploiting people (like every corporation) and then exploited their workers and customers in turn. While this resulted in a relatively nicer alternative to Adobe shit, it still isn’t ideal.

Imagine if GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape, and Krita all had the kind of financial support that corporations do. Blender and the community supporting them are figuring it out to some extent, and now Blender has essentially either matched or eclipsed the corporate competition. This is absolutely possible for other FOSS software, but we the community need to be there for them financially too.

Jeez. Sounds like Roblox is horribly designed if the only way they can secure their servers is through client side measures.

gnome devs would realey really like it if you didn’t use extensions

This is patently untrue. The GNOME developers even maintain their own repository with a bunch of extensions for people to use. Why would they do so if they didn’t want anyone to use them?

Do extensions break on GNOME major version upgrades? Sometimes, yeah. Nobody is forced to upgrade if they don’t want to, and it’s not like you log into your desktop one day to be surprised with a broken system. There’s even an upgrade assistant that will tell you prior to an upgrade if any extensions will break.

This pervasive loud minority of whiny complainers spreading nonsense about GNOME is annoying. It’s free software; don’t use it if you don’t like it, that’s fine. But don’t spread lies about it, that’s childish.

Calm down Nancy Drew, what difference does any of this make? So what if it’s actually two people who are dating or not? Go apply your dubious detective skills towards something useful if you aren’t going to answer their questions.

Fair enough to chime in with your disinterest in a new controller, but…

Why would anyone buy something just to say they own it? What the hell kind of “keeping up with the Joneses” shit is that?

Just in case y’all aren’t being snarky with your questions…

No, the 8bitdo controller is just a fairly standard looking normal controller with a few extra shoulder buttons. It’s only $30 USD and has nice color options, but it is not remotely comparable to a Steam controller.

What would your solution be to this intolerable situation for you where leftists are allowed to… checks notes …randomly be visible on the internet?

Some of those suggestions are not exactly degoogling, in the strictest sense. If you’re just going to keep using Google services but through a different frontend, you are not freeing yourself from Google.

That’s not to say piped and invidious and Aurora and so on aren’t worth using if you absolutely cannot wean yourself away from Google entirely. It’s a step in the right direction, certainly.

Still, it might be nice to label those suggestions differently in a list like this, for clarity.

This thread is like talking to my father who insists that “mainstream media” is evil, while he watches Fox News and misses the irony entirely.

I can’t tell if maybe you’re joking, but is there another way to pronounce decal? I could in theory imagine someone saying it like “dick-al” but that seems unlikely.

American here, I can’t speak for Canada, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard any Americans in the US in real conversations say it differently than it is in Star Trek.

I’ve lived in nearly every major region of the US, so if there’s a place where they still pronounce it like “dah-ta” it must be a very small regional thing. Normal working class people having actual conversions everywhere I’ve ever been say “day-ta”.

I’ve read before that Patrick Stewart is the reason for that changing, but I don’t know if that’s true. Seems like an outsized influence for one guy to have on culture, but maybe!
