I know quite a few people that have quit through vaping, and even if they hadn’t, vapes are definitely better for their health than cigarettes.

They make vape cartridges that are used with a reusable battery. If disposable vapes were banned, they would become the more common option which is definitely better.

Fedora has pushed for the change by rebranding their immutable distros as Fedora Atomic Desktops, and these are likely the most popular immutable distros. Bazzite’s homepage also describes the distro as atomic, but never mentions the term immutable.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cant be interrupted because it happens in one step. This one of the big selling points of atomic or immutable distros. Your system will not be left in a broken state by cancelling an update because updates do not take multiple steps, unlike traditional distros.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cannot be interrupted, like the updates in these distros. Immutable is a more confusing term, as it leads users to believe that cannot control parts of the system, when in reality these distros still have tools to do so.

I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.

Lawyers tend to be honest to the people they’re being paid by.

As they said in the article, they are just listening to their lawyers. I would assume those lawyers are correct.

They’ve been focused on privacy for 10 years, before it was nearly as marketable.

This is a weird thread. Lots of complaints about lock in and companies managing your keys, both of which are easily avoidable, the exact same way you’d do so with your passwords.

What do you means by this? What part do you want to be open source? Passkey are just cryptographic keys, no part of that requires anything unfree. There’s aready an open source authentication stack you can use to implement them. You can store them completely locally with KeyPassXC for selfhost Vaultwarden to store them remotely. Both are open source?

No problem. I do think they had it as an option before they made it the default whenever Proton is used

If you’re on the newest version you shouldn’t need to manually select anything to use UMU. You just need to be using a Proton runner as your Wine version. I’m using GE-Proton9-15 and I can see in the logs when watching a game that Umu is being used.

No, a dev in their Discord said not to expect it this year.

You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won’t allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn’t add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.

I haven’t seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I’m thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.

The joke is a popular meme of making up things that are happening on the podcast that obviously do not fit the general idea of the podcast. If you are aware of these memes, you’d probably understand the joke right away.

I still think it’s not a good joke to make since it can be easily misleading. I’m not sure there was a good way to make this joke while clarifying it was a joke, and they would’ve been better off finding some other meme to make a joke with.

I think the biggest problem with the joke is that Proton somehow didn’t understand their audience at all. I would imagine it leans older and most of their followers wouldn’t get it. Most of my Gen Z friends would have understood the meme, but I doubt many of them follow Proton on Twitter.

This was nothing more than a poorly executed joke from Proton. Some people are massively overreacting.

Even better, thanks!

Isn’t that already true for QT apps on a gtk desktop and GTK apps on a QT desktop?

In my experience, GTK apps feel pretty good on Cosmic, and it has support for automatically theming them with your Cosmic theme. QT apps feel out of place, but this is an issue I’ve had on every non-Plasma desktop, because I struggle to get theming to work.

You answered your question of why Wayland exists right after asking it. X sucks. Wayland is a very significant improvement, I’m not sure why you think it’s a lateral move.

Also, X works for some cases, but not all, just lime Wayland. Using multiple refresh rates doesnt work well, HDR has no hope of ever working, and fractional scaling is horrible. Wayland has initial support for HDR and great support for the other two.
