  • Actually, things seem to get better with age, just not as they seemed to be before:

    Whereas happiness was once considered to follow a U-shape – with a relatively carefree youth, a tougher middle age and a more comfortable later life – the experts in wellbeing say our satisfaction now rises steadily with age instead.

  • You might have missed some points.

    Prime Minister Mute Egede:

    “Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions,” he said.

    Trump earlier this week refused to rule out using military or economic force in order to bring Greenland under US control. Trump said last month that “ownership and control” of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for the US, as it seeks to counter growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic region.

  • The article is not about which filesystem to use or not, but about the size and contents of the patches submitted in relation to bcachefs. It seems that the submitted changes which should have been just fixes also contain new functionality. Though it is very nice to see how active and enthusiastic the development of bcachefs is, mixing fixes with new functionality is hard to review and dangerous as it can introduce additional issues. Again, while I appreciate Kents work, I understand Linus' concerns.

  • The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers.

    I don't think that the survival of humankind potentially depends on the adoption speed of Wayland. If anything ever breaks, it will affect only a few individuals which can then still change course.

    There are a lot of people using hardware from the last decade. I would even dare to assume that most Linux desktop users do, because that's how you still can get the most out of old hardware.

    I have an old tower which I sometimes use for light gaming. It runs X11 because Wayland had some issues on this specific machine. I don't remember which and don't really care to investigate unless it becomes necessary. Until then I'm just happy when I have a little time to use it. And that works perfectly for my needs. For now

  • I don't think it's a revolt. Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things? They also wrote "knowingly" which probably means that they won't have an issue with a switch if their distro manages to make a seamless transition.

    Some people just want to get their stuff done, without diving into technical details. And as long as that works for them, they won't actively change anything.

  • Thank you for acknowledging the positive development. It's so nice to see some appreciation for the effort put into solving our issues. I'm so tired of all the complaints and outrage about this or that solution, be it flatpak, appimage, snap or whatever.

    Helicon on Bandcamp

    I just received this message from a band I like, on Bandcamp. I hope that posting it here doesn't violate any rule. It's also an interesting insight on what kind of influence corporations like Meta have on small bands.

    Hey! Hope you're enjoying a chilled Sunday with good music and good vibes.

    You may have seen our 5000-follower Facebook account was permanently disabled by Meta this week in the lead-up to our UK/EU tour with Acid Rooster. All our Facebook events, promo and paid ad campaigns have been deleted.

    No reason was given by Meta (other than 'authentic identity' - which we provided on several occasions), they took £200 from our Paypal and tell us we have no right to reply. I suspect it may be the result of a hack elsewhere. The fight continues.

    This has obviously had a significant impact on our ability to promote our upcoming shows on the platform that carries our biggest following.

    We'd be eternally gratefu
