humble games is a game publisher, only connected to humble bundle through corporate ownership. most games in humble bundles aren't published by humble games, and most games published by humble games don't end up in humble bundles

Why don't they count? The systemd interface has been stable for a decade.

There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can't be done programmatically :(

This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized --help output. Maybe there's some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?

I think https://apps.kde.org/smb4k/ can do this?

• gnome/gtk: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/systemd-manager
• kde/qt: https://invent.kde.org/system/systemdgenie
• browser based: https://cockpit-project.org/
• curses: https://github.com/ana-cc/chkservice

Finding women for whom my appearance isn't a dealbreaker. I have moderate to serious rosacea and acne on my face. That filters out 90%+ of women before we even speak to each other.

That name is decades old. XDG stands for "Cross Desktop Group".

A "pure" X environment (e.g. startx xterm) also doesn't define those variables, but many desktop environments do, just like many shell configurations do.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of that. Time to add a few hundred lines to my dotfiles :)

What makes you think XDG doesn't apply to non GUI apps?

Instant messaging.

20 years ago, there were half a dozen competing major platforms (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN, etc), like today.

The difference is that you had your choice of half a dozen clients that could each talk to ALL of the platforms. Adium, Trillian, Kopete, etc.

Today's kids have no idea what we lost to the god of profit.

If you're at least a 4/10 woman or an 8/10 man, they are pretty effective. For the rest of us, not so much.

It depends on what sort of games you play. Some games / genres / publishers are much worse about this than others.

Article author seems to have completely fabricated the "10 more". There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.

You'd see posts in a community/group/etc based on your trust of the community, unless you've explicitly de-trusted the poster or you trust someone who de-trusts them (and you haven't broken that chain).

As a long time Pandora user... I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.

2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?

For the simplest users, my initial idea is just a binary "do you trust them?" for each person (aka "friends") and non-person (aka "follow"), and maybe one global binary of "do you trust who they trust?" that defaults to yes. anything more complex than that can be optional.

I am sad that the current generation of federated social media/networks still doesn't have much, if any, implementation of web of trust functionality. I believe that's the only solution to bots/AI/etc content in the future. Show me content from people/accounts/profiles I trust, and accounts they trust, etc. When I see spam or scams or other misbehavior, show me the trust chain connecting me to it so I can sever it at the appropriate level instead of having to block individual accounts. (e.g. "sorry mom, you've trusted too many political frauds, I'm going to stop trusting people you trust")

just keep the system up to date…

The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows...
