Europe@feddit.org•Germany: Leftwing militants claim responsibility for arson attack on Berlin power gridEnglish
31·4 months agoAnd what does ‘left-wing’ and ‘right-wing’ even mean, at least in the extreme forms? What difference does it make when violence rules? Violence, imho, doesn’t make sense.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t very clear patterns of violence that are different for violence perpetrated by people following far-left or far-right ideologies. You wouldn’t see a far-left burning down a shelter for asylum seekers for example.

Europe@feddit.org•Hungary loses right to EU aid worth more than €1 billionEnglish
6·4 months agoThat seems like a huge stretch even to someone who gobbles up all the anti-EU propaganda to me. But you never know, I guess.

Europe@feddit.org•Hungary loses right to EU aid worth more than €1 billionEnglish
55·4 months agoI’m always surprised that this kind of rhetoric works. If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving. Like, at some point you’d have to ask yourself why a supposedly competent and well-meaning leader keeps you in a relarionship with an entity that allegedly only wants the worst for you.

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•How can I map speed limits?English
2·4 months agoAre these new speed limits only due to the roadworks or are they permanent? If it’s the former, I probably wouldn’t bother mapping it, or only if the construction lasts for at least a few months.

Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu Developers Discuss Abandoning Mailing Lists For DiscourseEnglish
4·1 year agoA [Discourse] forum may need an account, but is hosted and straight-forward.
Discourse is also working on a Fediverse integration. So at some point you might not even need extra forum accounts.
As long as people think that a largely volunteer run ecosystem can be held to the very same expectations as products from some of the most wealthy companies on the planet without willingness to contribute or accept setbacks, I’m very glad that Linux isn’t mainstream.
Mobian developed for PostmarketOS? I feel like you are mixing something up here, as those are both distros. Maybe you mean Phosh?

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Is this really the best way to track bus and other routes?English
5·2 years agoI think it would be more useful to regard this as a StreetComplete/editor flaw than an OSM flaw.
If you set the surface before the path is split, it’s applied to all of them and many desktop editors have some sort of Ctrl-Select/multiselect support that makes this no real hassle.

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Breakthrough barium titanate solar panels are 1000x more powerful than existing panelsEnglish
481·2 years agoThe headline seems to be a but misleading though. Seems like it’s 1000x more efficient than pure barium titanate would be.
Also seems like it has the potential to be much ore efficient than conventional silicon based panels, but not by a factor of 1000.

Linux@programming.dev•Immutable distro on a PC. Thoughts and experience?
2·2 years agoMany people (including me) have run Aeon for years. It’s definitely usable as daily driver. It’s also in RC3 stage right now and should switch to it’s first “proper” release any day/week now.

Linux@programming.dev•Immutable distro on a PC. Thoughts and experience?English
7·2 years agoBut, it sounds to me like it’s more adapted for smaller devices and IoT, like the Steam Deck or similar handheld devices.
There are plenty of desktop focused immutable Linux distros. With Fedora Sikverblue/Kinoite probably being the most prominent one, but there are also Vanilla OS, the ublue distros and the one I’m personally using, (openSUSE) Aeon. NixOS technically counts too I think, but that one has it’s whole own philosophy/structure that extends way beyond just being immutable
What were the pros and cons according to you?
Pros: increased stability/less risk of breakage, sepaeation of base system/apps that will be more intuitive to many non-Linux users, (Flatpak) apps tend to always be the newest version
Cons: still some smaller pain points around app integration, some flatpaks might have some features that don’t fully work or you might need to change a permission (this has gotten a lot better already though), less suited for tinkerers

Linux@lemmy.ml•This is why people should stop recommending Arch. Fedora or Opensuse TW should be recommended instead for new people.
5·2 years agoSUSE isn’t owned by Novell anymore though. So this isn’t particularly relevant.

Gnome@discuss.tchncs.de•GNOME Foundation removes Sonny Piers from board without explanationEnglish
6·2 years agoThere’s this blogpost but it doesn’t really shed any more light on the thing either

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.English
261·2 years agoFriendly PSA that there is also StreetComplete ExpertEdition (on F-Droid only) which has more tasks and crucially allows you to directly edit tags. Very recommended if you know what you’re doing and have some more familiarity with OSM.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME vs KDE Plasma in 2024: which one is better for Linux beginners?
8·2 years agoI’d say it’s non-mouse focused. Heavy touch or keyboard focus work pretty well, but the mouse really isn’t intended as anything more than a helper.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer
7·2 years agoThat could be a branding strategy, I guess, but the community project behind it will still need a name of some kind obviously. Unless they only want to show up at conferences/have a website url etc as “the project whose name shall not be mentioned”.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer
2·2 years agoThere is no “current proposal” at this point.
And where do you think the people deciding what to buy get their information? Mind share is important.
Most certainly not in Linux distro community spaces, because those are completely irrelevant for them and their needs.
And you really think, people who are willing and able to buy enterprise support for their Linux distro get confused by the naming?
No, I don’t think that. I *know* that because I’m active in the community.
OpenSuse is essentially free marketing for SUSE, nobody would know them otherwise.
That is absolute nonsense. SUSE mostly serves large enterprise customers. That’s an entirely different demographic from people who care about Desktop Linux or setting up a home server.
Edit:
its market share is relatively small compared to Red Hat or Canonical.
I’m pretty sure SUSE is bigger than Canonical.
Editedit: According to wikipedia SUSE’s revenue is about twice as high as Canonical’s

You sure about that?
