If stylish extension is now a security threat - does anyone else have a method of widening the Mastodon UI to fill the whole browser window?
Trying the Wayland session in the latest KDE Plasma - wow, it is 99.9% the same as under Xorg, which is kind of the point
Its come a long way, very impressed
this table is why I still use ifconfig after its been deprecated so long, ip commands are ssoo long
Windows 10 Update woes? Can't get Windows 10 updates if you don't have Windows 10
MacOS is too rich for my blood
Windows is too bloated
Linux is too free not to use!
Of course not.
Because:
1) Psychological resistance to change.
2) People truely don't give a fuck about privacy as long as they can play games or use Facebook.
3) Microsoft has marketing money. It buys everything, from FUD to pre-installed OS on all computer brands.
No technological marvel can beat that.
You know what i find a little ironic? When people say they dont like Windows, I will suggest Linux, which typically launches them into an explaination about how much they dont like Linux because it isn't like Windows...
#vim (still the best editor btw 😀)
I keep trolling my boss on the bash prompt of one of our linux servers (its an older one that still runs opensuse, whereas I have standardised on CentOS). It started out as snarky comments about SUSE vs CentOS, it has escalated...
here's what he'll see when he first logs in via ssh
Yes! Finally! Total War: Warhammer II is coming to Linux. Gimme that sweet mega-campaign action... Feral Interactive are the best.
Oh. In September. Well until then I guess I have Cultist Simulator, Surviving Mars, Tides of Numenera, Shadowrun, Hitman, ... ... ... Oh, I drifted off there looking at the eternity of my to-play list ;)
Seriously, as a Linux gamer, I would never have expected to get this level of support for my chosen platform. It's great.
@brandon Microsoft & Apple's greatest victory was convincing people they don't need to learn how to use a computer to use a computer.

Maybe it's time to replace that aging Mac with something nice from System76?

Plasma 5.13 has launched
Plasma is now faster and sleeker; gives you more control, letting you stop, start, rewind and silence video and audio playing in browsers from the desktop, open and close vaults from KDE Connect, and easily configure external monitors; and is more beautiful, incorporating fast blurs and transparencies into windows, and improving the icon integration.
Check out the announcement at

KDE Connect over VPN on mobile network. Literally sending a signal many kilometres to communicate less than a metre.
@bryanlunduke says he's publicly state trust of Microsoft in open source, if you open up the code for Window 3.0 (not 3.11), let's make this happen! I just want to see the look on his face!
I've tweeted at the birb site at Nadella https://twitter.com/MattMcNutt/status/1005309031227973632 - if you still tweet go retweet it! or hashtag it or whatever you young people do!
Can someone please explain #pleroma to me? Is it just another #gnusocial implementation? Mostly compatible with mastodon?
