    The new dialogs all look and behave the same way as in Files, the locations in the sidebar are consistent, and search returns the same results in the same order.

    Awesome, this was bugging me for a long time and did irritate a less tech-savy relative oft mine.

    It's always great to see features moved Form GNOME Tweaks to Settings. Now I'm only missing a few features (additional input Layouts), and don't have to always install it.

    Fractional scaling will hopefully be default at some point and VR support is also great.

    Die EU will die Raucherquote in Europa generell bis 2040 von derzeit 25 Prozent auf dann fünf Prozent drücken – und sieht dieses Ziel durch die neuen Vapingprodukte gefährdet.

    Die Raucherquote auf unter 10% zu drücken halte ich für absolut unrealistisch. Nikotin macht zu schnell abhängig und an jedem Eck steht ein Zigarettenautomat.

    Rauchen in Außenbereichen zu verbieten mag zwar manche vom Rauchen abhalten, aber bisher schert sich auch niemand um die Einhaltung der bestehenden Rauchverbotszonen am Bahnhof. Das wird in Gaststätten auch nicht anders sein, va. bei Cafés in Innenstädten, wo ein halber Meter weiter rauchen weiterhin erlaubt bleibt.

    Um nochmal auf die unrealistischen Ziele zurückzukommen: Es gibt aktuell mehr Cannabiskonsumenten als diese anvisierten 5%, und das war bis vor kurzem illegal!

    Ein absolutes Verbot würde nur den Schwarzmarkt stärken, wie bei allen anderen Suchtstoffen auch — aber darüber wird zum Glück nicht diskutiert.

    That's one of the reasons I don't like buying games with Denuvo. Waiting a few years before buying games is something I usually do anyway, so at that point Denuvo DRM would've already been removed.

    I'm honestly fine with DRM, as long as it's removed within my definition of reasonable time. I'd say a year vor two.

    Once the DRM is removed it allows for archiving and preserving the piece of media — as well as pirating copies.

    Als ich für diese Regierung gestimmt habe, hatte ich mit vielem gerechnet, aber nicht mit Grenzkontrollen. Wird das ganze überhaupt etwas bringen? Die Sorgen sind doch Terrorismus, und eine Schusswaffe lässt sich überall im Auto verstecken, va. wenn man aus Österreich einreist.

    Wenn andere Länder nachziehen, kann Deutschland nichteinmal mit gutem Gewissen deren bescheuertes Verhalten kritisieren. Am Ende darf man sich dann aber nicht wundern, wieso plötzlich weniger Exportiert wird. In einer globalisierten Welt ist die EU und freier Warenverkehr mit die größte Errungenschaft. Die Zeiten wo internationale Unternehmen auf einzelne Länder eingehen müssen sind vorbei, wie Großbrittanien schon teilweise feststellen musste. Es gibt noch andere Länder mit Kaufkraft.

    Many games are fun, especially with friends, even if they are crappy on a deeper look (micro transactions etc.). Most mobile games are fun at first–the trick is stopping when they aren't anymore.

    With games blocking Linux users, we can't even enjoy the beginning. And many more won't even try to use it.

    Yeah it's sad to see more games fixing their bad net code with client side anti cheat. Remember, GTA Online is a game where a lobby is transparently hosted on someones PC, which allows them to cheat however they want.

    If Rockstar used proper dedicated servers, this wouldn't be an issue. Just like with Fall Guys and many other games.

    A few weeks ago I thought about getting back into GTA Online, now I can't.

    I believe the advantage is that old drivers still work as they are all in the kernel. With them sharing much code it's not even that big of a disk space issue. Edit: A more dynamic approach would be great though, especially with this size issue popping up.

    In a way it's great that I'm able to replace any part of my system and it just works without me having to make sure the old GPU driver doesn't leave some traces behind–altough while writing this the latter part shouldn't be an issue with Windows auto download and installation of drivers.

    Solange der Atommüll in Fässern ist, ist er tatsächlich nicht besonders gefährlich. Das Problem besteht darin, dass der Müll ins Grundwasser gelangen kann, und damit früher oder später in unseren Körpern landet – sei es durch Nahrung, wie Pflanzen und Tiere, oder durch das Einatmen.

    Das erhöht dann das Krebsrisiko, da es Zellschäden verursachen kann. Besonders problematisch wird es, wenn die Zellen Erbgut enthalten, und entsprechend defekte Gene vererbt werden.

    Das mag bei solch geringen Dosen wsl. kurzfristig kein Problem sein, aber aufgrund der extrem langen Halbwertszeiten, die Jahr(-zehn-)tausende andauern, wird es immer nur mehr Atommüll, und dementsprechend steigt das Risiko (und auch die kumulative Anzahl der mutierten Gene).

    Möglicherweise ist es kein großes Risiko, die ganzen Fässer tief im Ozean zu lagern, aber ist es wirklich das Risiko wert, dass es doch irgendwann wieder auftaucht? Die Fässer in diversen Salzstöcken sollten 100 Jahre halten, und sind trotzdem nach ein paar Jahrzehnten löchrig geworden.

    Wenn Atommüll nur für ein paar Jahrzehnte gefährlich wäre, hätte ich auch eine andere Meinung zu dem Thema. Da es aber mit Windkraft und Solaranlagen tatsächlich größtenteils Klima- und Umweltneutrale Energiegewinnungsmöglichkeiten gibt, bin ich der Meinung, dass es das Risiko nicht wert ist. (Wie sich in Frankreich zeigt, ist Atomstrom mit heutigen Sicherheitsstandards nicht einmal günstig, sondern teuer.)

    Edit:

    Da legen 1000km asphaltierte Waldwege um Wartungszugänge zu Windkraftanlagen zu haben aus meiner Sicht deutlich mehr Natur um.

    Natürlich sind Straßen, und Infrastruktur generell, nicht gut für die Umwelt. Aber es ist ein kalkulierbares Risiko, dass sich von selbst erledigt. Nach ein paar Jahrzehnten verschwindet so eine Asphaltstrecke von allein – besonders im Wald durch die Wurzeln der Bäume.

    Hier im Süden gibt es auch bei jedem Windrad direkt Gegenwind aus der Bevölkerung. Letztendlich muss der Strom irgendwoher kommen, und als vor 15 Jahren der Atomausstieg beschlossen wurde, war das Thema eig. gegessen. Bis der Bau eines Atomkraftwerks fertig ist, dass noch nichteinmal geplant ist, sind wir wsl. bei 100% Erneuerbaren.

    Wenn sie für das Klima wären hätten sie nicht die Kernkraft bekämpft.

    Atomkraft ist zwar Klimaneutral, aber umwelttechnisch eine absolute Katastrophe dank des ungelösten (unlösbaren?) Atommüllendlagerproblem. Die Grünen sind nicht nur für mehr Klimaschutz, sondern auch für Umweltschutz, dementsprechend ist das kein Widerspruch in sich.

    Va. haben die Grünen auch dauerhaft einen deutlich verstärkten Ausbau der Windenergie gefordert. Während 2017 50GW an Windenenergieleistung Zugebaut wurde, waren es 2019 nur noch 10GW [1]. Das lag maßgeblich an einem erschwerten Bewilligungsverfahren und der Diskussion über deutlich größere Mindestabstandsregelungen, durch die Investoren abgeschreckt wurden.

    Dieses politische Versagen sehe ich eindeutig bei der damaligen GroKo-Regierung (und natürlich auch in den Ländern, wo z.B. in BaWü die grün-schwarze Regierung zu wenig getan hat).

    Leider hat sich der Ausbau bis jetzt nicht komplett erholt, da es im Schnitt 2 Jahre dauert bis ein Windrad steht. 2023 wurden endlich wieder (deutlich) mehr Anlagen genehmigt, als im Zeitraum 2014-2016, dementsprechend gehe ich davon aus, dass wir in den nächsten Jahren wieder deutlich mehr Inbetriebsnahmen von Windrädern sehen werden.

    co2 Emissionen [...] pro Kopf

    Da hast Du leider Recht, pro Kopf sind die Emmissionen in Deutschland knapp doppelt so hoch wie in Frankreich.

    Den deutschen Atomkraftwerksbetreibern Abfindungen in Milliardenhöhe zu zahlen [3], damit die ihre Kraftwerke ein paar Jährchen früher abstellen, war eine sehr schlechte Idee und ein direktes Resultat des schnellen Atomausstiegs.

    Der Ausstieg an sich, also keine neuen Atomkraftwerke mehr zu bauen, war aber definitiv die richtige Entscheidung. Z.b. kostet dort ein neuer Reaktor 19 Milliarden (3x des ursprünglichen Plans) und die kWh Strom wird doppelt so viel kosten wie von bisherigen Atomkraftwerken (und damit mehr als von Erneuerbaren). Daran beteiligt sind ua. die erhöhten Sicherheitsanforderungen seit Fukushima. [2]

    Ist das gut? Reicht das? Wenn wir dahin kommen wo andere schon lange sind?

    Leider Nein, dafür haben wir viel zu spät mit ernsthaftem Klimaschutz angefangen.

    Ja, das kann ich nachvollziehen.

    Ein Hauptproblem der Grünen ist, dass sie nach wissenschaftlichem Stand die beste Klimapolitik der deutschen Parteienlandschaft machen/fordern. Nur Leider wird damit offensichtlich, was für absolute Fehlentscheidungen in den letzten Jahrzehnten diverse Förderungen waren — ob das jetzt die Lüge der "sauberen" Diesel ist, die Pellet-Heizung, oder das tolle "günstige" Gas.

    Letztendlich bin ich vollends überzeugt, dass alles, was wir jetzt nicht tun, uns alle nochmal deutlich teurer zu stehen kommen wird. Nur möchten die meisten Menschen heute günstige Preise, und was in 20 Jahren ist, ist ein Problem für Zukunfts-Ich.

    This DRM is built in to Play Integrity, and GrapheneOS only passes the basic check, so apps using this DRM won't work.

    Stronger levels of Play Integrity don't work on GOS anyway, so hopefully devs won't use this feature either.

    Spoofing Play Integrity works with rooted phones, although it breaks from time to time.

    They are evaluating different ways to continue to support ad blocking. E.g. "unbraving" Brave Browser, or just implementing their adblock-rust.

    They most likely won't support MV2, since it would get increasingly difficult with each update to Chromium.

    Creating a wayland compositor based in wlroots is much more work than an X11 window manager. And then there's quite a bit of work to keep up with new Wayland protocols.

    But I personally don't think there's a need for more compositors, since the existing compositors do support all kinds of tiling.

    E.g. river has custom layout providers, which allows for creating completely custom tiling behaviour. There's even a hyprland plugin which implements river-layout-v3.

    I've never seen any reason to believe Google has any say in the direction of Firefox. Google pays to be the default search engine, not more, not less.

    This same argument could be brought up about Safari. All other browsers are based on Chromium anyway, so they are directly developed by Google themselves.

    Why do you think that? I'm happy with Firefox. It let's me customize the tabs bar through userConfig.css to exclusively use tree style tabs and supports uBlock. That's all I really need from a browser, but, sadly, all other browser only support basic vertical tabs.

    I guess many here don't particularly like Chrome, just like they don't like Edge.

    I.e. using a browser that spies on you to download another browser that spies on you doesn't seem like a great deal to me.

    After using Fedora Atomic for around a year, I've switched my mom over from Linux Mint. Since then a few years've gone by and there's been no issues with automatic updates failing or not applying. That's awesome compared to regular issues with dpkg errors because of shutdown/power loss while updating.

    Obviously release upgrades still require manual intervention, but that's an hour once a year for updating and testing if everything works as it should.

    Personally I've switched to NixOS, because even with ublue image-based OS aren't great for configuring window managers. In general, image-based OS are especially awesome for long-running, low maintenance systems. I wouldn't want to use an OS which doesn't provide some kind of rollbacks anymore (btrfs snapshots is the minimum).

    Edit:

    Do you feel it's worth it to learn the nuances of their use?

    Fedora Atomic is almost identical to regular Fedora, the difference is mostly how the root filesystem is managed:

    The former are files from rpms get copied to an ostree image, which then gets mounted as the root file system.

    For the latter dnf copies files from rpms to the root file system.

    [...] did you manage to properly run AppImages [...]

    They always worked flawlessly on everything except NixOS (because of no FHS-layout). Through distrobox they should work on any distro.

    [...] trying to install Outline VPN [...]).

    These kinds of not properly packaged apps are a big issue with ostree based systems. VPN provider apps need to be natively installed and usually aren't available in repos.

    For me it's fine. These voices have gotten really good, so it's no longer a pain to listen to them. In this case the script is pretty concise for the most part, which makes the video a good overview over the project.

    To me the bigger problem is that it makes it more difficult to spot generated content.

    Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.

    Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set UA to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don't have to care about the underlying OS...

    I've been using COSMIC Epoch pre-alpha for the past two months, and it definitly is on a good path. There's still many bugs, but COSMIC has gotten much better, and more featureful (e.g. I'm finally able to use my keyboard layout of choice and rebind all keys accordingly). The only major missing feature is VRR/adaptive sync, because I really don't like playing CS2 with vsync.

    Sadly they switched from dynamic tiling (river, awesome) to manual tiling (sway/i3-style), but together with the window-movement-animations it's awesome. Finally there's a desktop with a compositor made with tiling in mind, and not as an afterthought.

    Also I find it great how many distros already have COSMIC packages in their community repos.

    xdg-toplevel-drag Wayland protocol approved gitlab.freedesktop.org

    "This protocol allows applications to request that a window is moved at the same time as a drag operation - effectively dragging windows. With this features such as detaching a tab from a window and reattaching it, dragging tabs between windows or (un)dockable tool windows can be implemented."
