  • Einfach alles an Infrastruktur ausbauen. Naja, “einfach”… Also einfach im bürokratischen Sinne. Dafür wurde doch das Sondervermögen locker gemacht.

    Wenn Autobahnen, Schienen, Radschnellwege usw. allesamt 20-spurig sind, dann stört es auch keinen, wenn wegen Bauarbeiten zwei davon gesperrt sind.




















  • However, if we’re talking about the WebKit-based Linux browsers (such as Konqueror), IIRC, they’re a bit out of spec when it comes to the “modern Web”: WebKit’s adoption of latest specs tends to be slower than Firefox and Chromium.

    WebKit-GTK is up to date. 30 seconds of research in your favorite search engine and you would have found it out.





  • they are letting an AI develop the browser

    The port from C++ to Rust was assisted by an LLM. That’s different from “ChatGPT, write me a web browser”.

    I cannot speak for the quality of that code, nor advocating for it, I merely want to make that distinction.





  • YouTube is full of Bazzite tutorials. Whatever is out there at documentation is also quite recent. When people ask ChatGPT about how to do something on Ubuntu or Mint, the answers are generated from 15 years old forum posts. Often not only unusable but also damaging. My expectationnis that for immutable distributions LLM answers in 15 years will not break the OS. At worst it’ll recommend some tool deleted from Flathub and it’ll merely not work instead of breaking everything.

    I think as a GNU project, Gnome is an exception.

    Gnome isn’t a GNU project any longer. They removed references to GNU from their website when Stallman was brought back as GNU leader after speaking in favor of pedophilia.

    In typical Gnome fashion they didn’t merely renounce GNU and Stallman, they lied and claimed that Gnome has never ever been a GNU project.

    It isn’t “non standard.” It is literally s part of gnome.

    It’s a stand-alone tool by the Gnome developers, it’s not an integral part of Gnome.

    The default UX of Gnome still make it hard for people migrating from Win10. No amount of nitpicking about irrelevant details change that fact.

    Haters gonna hate I guess

    I didn’t expect any other response by a Gnome fan. Keep ignoring comments like https://lemmy.world/comment/22252682 where I explained that I picked Gnome for an elderly man. I’m really such a hater that I pick Gnome for a certain use case.

    I’m pretty sure you can live without the minimize button.

    I’m volunteering in a repair café where older people bring their Windows 10 computers and seek help migrating to Linux because their PC told them that Win11 isn’t compatible.

    I make recommendations based on each person, trying to realize what they wish for first if they have an idea what they want. A few months ago there was an >70y/o man. Let’s be realistic here, at this age it might well be the last PC he ever owns. So I set him up with Alma Linux (extra long support cycle) and made its Gnome desktop as Windows-like as possible. He’s not getting pressured into unfamiliar UX metaphors and no way I’m pushing software from EPEL or anything that onto him. I enabled Flathub and temporarily installed aforementioned tools to make the necessary tweaks, then uninstalled these tools again, and installed a few of Gnome’s games, Celluloid, and Chrome off Flathub.

    For the rest of the day he ate cookies and drank coffee and seemed pretty happy with that setup. We invited him to come back, should he have any further questions. Haven’t seen him again.
