everybody needs to be on their best behavior for the next few weeks ok

I would put Duck Tails 2, but still- why are they so dang replayable??

Fedora has two immutable distros KDE (Kinoite) and GNOME (Silverblue) and both are excellent and very stable.

I’ve seen that but it’s a weird vibe coded app and doesn’t actually work

ShelfMark is the go-to option now. It’s also far better than Readarr was and works seamlessly with both Prowlarr and Anna’s Archive.

I think CWA is the most robust option out there. BookLore was vibecoded and behaved in the typical weird/unexpectedly way vibecoded apps tend to. I haven’t tried the Fork of it, but CWA checks nearly all the boxes and is actively developed.

I wish ABS synced progress between formats with KOReader!

IIRC those updates were a series of bugfixes after a major update, which seems to be how they prefer to work.

Your vent was good and justified

No love lost for IBM but I still wouldn’t expect to see casually mentioned alongside Palantir.

Wow I went to fact check that claim and it’s actually no exaggeration. Here is the AP article.

Google and Amazon provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli military under “Project Nimbus,” a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021, when Israel first tested out its in-house AI-powered targeting systems. The IDF has used Cisco and Dell server farms or data centers. Red Hat, an independent IBM subsidiary, also has provided cloud computing technologies to the Israeli military, while Palantir Technologies, a Microsoft partner in U.S. defense contracts, has a “strategic partnership” providing AI systems to help Israel’s war efforts.

Crazy to see Palantir, Google, Microsoft mentioned alongside …Red Hat.

I have an adjacent vent and that is I hate how companies put so little effort into the UX of their mobile web pages. Privacy concerns aside, I would still prefer not to have 100 apps on my phone and just use web pages; but my bank’s web page suuuuucks and so well, I have the app.

IDK I think we’ll continue to see incremental gains for a long time, especially as normies abandon desktops/laptops entirely and the entire market shrinks. Windows will probably continue to dominate in enterprise for long past when it’s fashionable.

It’s crazy because Apple had every reason to be FAR ahead in that game.

Assuming you mean desktop Linux, probably slowly. While Linux on desktop is growing, Desktops PC use in general is trending downwards and Linux on mobile is far behind the other players.

My gut says that long before Linux overtakes Windows/Macintosh most people who want a mouse/keyboard/monitor experience will just plug their phone into a simple dock, like we’re seeing with Android’s “Desktop mode”.

Careful, once it’s automated you won’t be able to work on it anymore!

Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation…? Maybe save for therapy.

“The guy”? What?

The social ecosystem around FOSS is so horribly toxic. There’s an “upper middle class” of power user that aren’t quite developers, that insult everyone with less experience, and openly harass the developers themselves. I honestly don’t know how FOSS can expand adoption as long as these people exist. They are a dual-edged sword that disincentivizes both new adoptees and long term app support.
