Oh interesting, I didn’t know about this at all. It seems a bit related to the whole “children aren’t solely raised by their parents, but the entire community” idea.

From a quick look at the wikipedia page, guanxi sounds like a very different model of interpersonal relationships than what we have here. It seems like there’s also a lot more overlap between “business” and personal/private relationships.

What this makes me wonder is how does this whole thing affect familial abuse, which is primarily about control, this seems like it would make it a lot harder to get away from abusive family members.

I wonder what the parental requirement means effectively if your parents do not live in China lol

They’re getting there, I think. Chengdu is already looking pretty good when it comes to that.

Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.

Decoder skill issue. If ImageMagick or whatever other open-source software can read it, everyone else has no excuse.

(That said, if I could pick, I’d pick JPEG XL)

IBM Plex Sans/Serif/Mono everywhere!

But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?

The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.

Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.

Thank you!

Ah! That makes sense, yeah.

Huge thanks to the French for over 900% of required signatures which is much higher than any other country, they’re pretty much always in the “recent signatories” list! <3

This is not a distro-specific thing, but a desktop-specific one. It was probably written for Gnome primarily.

Not sure how other software that reads this setting handles it, but imo doing it correctly it should only look at it if the current desktop is Gnome. Plasma has a setting like this too, which probably works similarly.

This is an European Citizens’ Initiative which only needs 60,000 50,000 30,000 0 more signatures with a deadline of TOMORROW!

It’s reached the 1 million, but you can still sign if you haven’t! There are bound to be some invalid ones.

Sign it here if you’re in the EU: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

Sure. It paints a very vivid picture, I love it.

Never read anything by Dickens before except for A Christmas Carol (and that was for school) but this is now on my reading list :^)

I’ll need to listen to all the others again.

Jolla C2 looks pretty interesting.

I love watching Vargskelethor’s Temu Trash streams where he browses the site looking at funny awful products. (clip from one of them that I cut together) That’s the closest I’ve gone near it.

I started using openSuSE full time on my laptop after the disastrous Windows 8 upgrade (it kept bluescreening and had problems suspending on that laptop.*), I guess I was 11 at the time.

But I’ve been messing around with Live CDs on my parents’ computer that came with a computer magazine my dad subscribed to for a while before that. I remember spending a lot of time in Knoppix specifically. Probably mostly playing the games that came on it.

* Windows 10 still has the same issues on it last time I checked lmao

If someone keeps making Nazi comments online, should they be banned or just the comments removed?
