what do you think of people who use linux but use non-linux related stuff as their wallpaper??
  • If I remember correctly I got them from this collection on archive.org and honestly they are just really nice quality pictures. But probably also a bit of nostalgia. 😄

  • Monaco Grand Prix contract extended to 2031
  • The cars are just too big and maybe also too fast for Monaco at the moment. Maybe in the future this will change again.

  • Monaco Grand Prix contract extended to 2031
  • Or make the cars smaller again. They're finally getting smaller in 2026 but in the long term they should aim for v10 era size cars IMO.

  • TIL there's people thinking about stuff like this. Honestly a wallpaper is just some image that you chose to make your desktop nice to look at to me. I think I even used Windows XP wallpapers on Linux for some time.

  • Best Distro
  • Also only very little software comes preinstalled which does not apply to Silverblue for example if I remember correctly.

  • 20 Jahre Firefox: Happy Birthday, kleiner Panda!
  • Hab ich auch erst vor kurzem gelernt, aber Firefox ist ein Name fĂŒr den roten Panda, nicht fĂŒr einen Fuchs. Aber ja das Logo sieht eher nach Fuchs aus.

    Temporary rule added: no US politics
  • Absolutely. If this rule was a permanent rule I don't think so many people would defend it. However from experience (reddit for example) I think many people know that US politics has the ability to claim and overrun just about every space on the "western" internet. This is not something that really creates value for many people especially those that don't live in the US and I think this ruling is trying to prevent that.

  • Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like "AskLemmyUS", post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?

    Temporary rule added: no US politics
  • What's wrong about it though? The freedom lies in the ability to create your own community that is not regulated by one company/organisation owning the platform. You can go to the place where you agree with the rules and you don't have to live under the rules of someone you don't like.

    Temporary rule added: no US politics
  • By giving people the opportunity to host their own instances and create their own communities with rules they like. This however does not mean that everything should be allowed everywhere. Actually this means that everywhere you go people make their own rules and if you dont like them, go somewhere else or create your own community.

  • Red Bull 'sister' team to undergo another name change
  • The current red bull can livery is also nice but the name really sucks.

  • What's your preferred Dutch flag aspect ratio?
  • Gekoloniseerd!!

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?
  • FOSS gives people the option to take the original code and create their own version of it in case they don't like what the original maintainers are doing. With closed source you would be stuck and would have to look for something new.

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?
  • It wasn't a culture shock but it made something obvious that sometimes gets forgotten. The "Open" just means that one can look at the source code and copy it to make a new version. There is no obligation of the original creators to support things outside of what they want/can do.

  • How often do you update your apps?
  • That's what I do too. Automatic updates for everything and if I don't like the way something develops I look for alternatives. Those changes will most likely not be reverted anyway and I will certainly not keep using an older version of some software forever.

  • Why do marketeers try so hard to make QR codes pretty?
  • Honestly they can look quite amazing with the help of AI.

  • Locked
    Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?
  • Especially since in this case it was not even the person that was misgendered that called it out. Maybe the original person doesn't even care.
