I feel that at the very least, the customer in that case should be entitled to a complete refund of the product, regardless of whether they bought it 5 days or 5 years ago and regardless of the condition their device is in.

This should at least give some incentive to companies to not perform such sweeping changes to their terms of service and if they do, the customer can more easily remove themselves from the lock-in without taking a financial hit.

Or just use long-forms like

tar --create --file pics.tar ./pics

instead of

tar -cf pics.tar ./pics

or

tar --extract --file pics.tar```
instead of

tar -xf pics.tar


which is honestly way easier to remember... \^\^

It's currently one of the highest selling games on Steam and something tells me that previous server issues might also finally be resolved :>

So basically it’s just another GNOME release gotcha.

AFAIK, the extension developer needs to explicitly set each version of Gnome they support. Even when the Gnome version doesn't have any breaking changes, the extension developer still needs to update their extension to enable their extension for the new Gnome version.

On that note, screen sharing worked just fine for me on Wayland Fedora 38 with Zoom Flatpak.

Like seriously, I help maintain a mod for a game and 90% of our Linux issues come from Arch users x_x

Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.

Very good points tbh. My main thought with why I suggested lemmyrs.org is cause it would be an entire instance around Rust, not just a single community on an instance. That being said, there is already an official discourse for Rust so maybe just having a single community on lemmy as opposed to an entire instance is enough in that case ^^

As outline in the blog post, https://lemmyrs.org/ would lend itself best to avoid the case of one big instance de-federating from another.

Discoverability can be an issue with smaller instances but I'd argue that can be bypassed by simply linking to it from official resources that previously linked to reddit. Same with linking to that instance from Reddit.

One thing of importance IMO is that should lemmyrs.org be selected as the reddit replacement, there needs to be communication and more importantly help for that instance admin, so that they don't have to carry the weight of supporting one of rust-lang's communication channels.

So far, Fedora has been rock solid for me ^^

[–] Gecko 2 points 1 year ago

Sorta. We now have FFA instead of Glitch 24/7 and the Insane mode for Frontier Defense has also changed to a new map ^^

 

Based on this video which reviewed a bunch of different ergonomic mechanical keyboards I kinda have my eyes set on the Glove80.

However my main gripe with looking at it, is that it only offers soldered switches (either pre-soldered or DIY).

This combined with the fact that there are no Cherry MX Speed like switches available for it (I have grown very accustomed to them on my Corsair K95 RGB Platinum) makes me question whether I'm willing to risk the near 400€ investment just to potentially end up with a keyboard whose switches are not too my liking.

And while I could probably resolder different switches onto it, I'd rather have a keyboard where changing switches doesn't require me grabbing my soldering iron.

Looking around so far however, I haven't found a keyboard similar in design to the Glove80 that does feature hot-swappable switches.

As such any recommendations would be welcome <3
