Hell, I’d say its high time for most to switch off of Linux.
What do you mean by this?
It also meant and still means cheap cask wine. taps head

2·12 days agoSadly I don’t think that’s on the cards. :(
I will object when this BS heads out my way eventually, of course. But if some law gets passed requiring the OS to be able to tell programs the age of the user, I would vastly prefer it just be something set by the sysadmin at account creation, and that the user not be able to change it themself. That last part mainly because if the user can change it themself, even braindead politicians will realise it is not doing anything and they will legislate something else. Probably something worse.

2·12 days agoHonestly, no. I’m aware there are other options. But if the govt is mandating something, I’d rather it made sense. Demanding everyone set an env var is nonsense.

2·13 days agoIn every OS I know of including linux, you need admin/su rights to create a user account. If the age is tied to the account that at least prevents tampering without admin/su access.

9·13 days agoThe way this is written, it would just be a case of entering your age or DOB at account creation, which wouldn’t be so bad. Indeed, this would be the kind of parent-empowering solution I’d like to see, since it kind of assumes the admin of a device (who sets up user accounts) is an adult who will enter the correct info for their kids.
Of course, there’s always the concern they might try to push for adding 3rd party age attestation after the fact, with this being the thin end of the wedge. And it’d be a bit of a pain for the various linux distros to organise a compliant solution even IF it’s just adding a new parameter to useradd and the associated “age signal” API for applications to query.

Femcel Memes@lemmy.blahaj.zone•dont worry about it i have it under control this time :3English
2·24 days agoYeah, saying something is “apart of” your creative process kinda means it is NOT part of your process.
Gotta pick a good starter to carry you through the early game.

Oh. Is Gimp still doing the even-numbers-stable thing?
Sounds like your issue is mostly flatpak, to me.
Only issue I have with drag and drop is any wine game I am playing assumes the file is for them, and jumps to the foreground if the cursor passes over it while dragging. If I accidentally drop it, dragging stops working in the drag source app. Sure, this wouldn’t be an issue if I were not sharing and moving files mid-game, but that is my wont.
Or just Yanks. I already call them this sometimes :P

I use zram to host my swap, so… I kinda did?
