I wonder what's up with May survey.
They're still showing an error, "Hardware Survey Data not available", on 3rd of June...

I guess they need to check if Linux really is at 15%! ;)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAn interesting thing that's not widely recognized is that the Terror did not represent a net increase in executions for France. The thing is that pre-Revolution France had a very punitive justice system, which saw peasants executed in large numbers for trivial crimes, often by methods that included extensive torture. Executing the same number of aristocrats and politicians instead seems like a much bigger deal because they're people that mattered, and because there were far fewer aristocrats so it represented a much bigger proportion of the whole. But they weren't actually killing more people.

Do you have numbers and source on this? I found some dozens or hundreds executed per year before, and more than ten thousand in the first year of the French Revolution?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOh, indeed? How many governments, pray? And how much have you known about them?

How many would it need to be to satisfy you? 😂
We get a new one every 3-4 years and they are all terrible.

To judge all governments, you'd preferably know them all. ... in all countries. (No, the same does not apply to Purple. They implied there's governments and parents where the governments would do a better job than the parents. That's a "there exists at least one" statement, not a "true for all".)

Remember the times when Rocket League was Linux native...?

Quoting: PhlebiacPerhaps unpopular, but I have to agree; laptops are worse in every way, other than portability. And the Steam Deck covers that use case.

What is important about laptops is that they save space under your desk!

... which you totally need for your 27 feet!

(I do get that laptops have the advantage of carrying around. I do not get the advantage of these mini PCs on the desk - because they take the space where I need it, and leave it free where I don't need it.)

I wondered for a moment if we can run Doom inside of Doom.

Yes, we can.

I'm not sure why you would want to do this, but you can run a Linux Wayland Compositor inside Minecraft to get various external windows inside the game.

Of course, in doubt the answer to this question always is: "Because I can!"

Quoting: EikeWhile I totally agree with the feeling, I'm not sure Valve has much to do with this particular fun?
Or did they have to enable this somehow?

What do you mean? Valve made the controller. All of this is because of their design.

Yes, they made a controller with a good, fine-controllable rumble. Sounds would normally not be the first thing this is designed for, but rather a side-effect.

Quoting: EikeNow as you're saying it: Isn't kate being abandoned?

No, that post it's about KDE Linux **default** apps, not about the Kate project itself. What really happened it's that kwrite became a simplified kate, both using the same codebase

I'm using both, but I'm still surprised they didn't choose kate as default.

Quoting: PenguinThis is one of the many reasons why I love Valve! While most other gaming companies are focusing on cutting-edge technology or chasing the next golden goose, Valve is investing in their community having FUN! And fun is all that should matter when it comes to gaming. Well played!
