Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they’ve done a really good job

Thank you, but the problem is that is howdy installation (that gets automatically executed after I run sudo apt install howdy that tries to run “old fashioned” pip commands. So I should either find a way to tweak Howdy install (like building it from source after changing something maybe?) or disable this system security feature temporarily, install howdy and re-enable it immediately after

Nope I didn’t, but the problem doesn’t seem to be the Python version, but instead the fact that now Python is “externally managed” and therefore I cannot install packages using pip install packagename as it used to be.

I know that this is done for security reasons and that the good practice would be using pipx or conda, but the problem is that howdy istallation still tries to use the “old approach”

Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

If you are looking for something light and low maintenance, maybe Mint could be a good fit?

I’ve never daily driven it because I’m not a fan of Cinnamon, but everyone says its light and stable so seems like what you are looking for

Non ho ancora avuto l’occasione di sondare “di persona” il mercato del lavoro, ma direi che no non sbagli purtroppo. La mia speranza è che sia solo questione di tempo (sono entrambi ancora relativamente giovani rispetto ai competitor) però chissà…

Intanto in bocca al lupo con Java!

Arrivo un po’ tardi per portare un punto di vista diverso: a me (decisamente unexperienced developer) Dart e Flutter piacciono molto e per la mia limitata esperienza hanno entrambi grandi vantaggi rispetto agli altri linguaggi e framework.

Dart a mio avviso combina un po’ il meglio di Java (/ C# / altri linguaggi OO) e Javascript, mantenendo appunto una struttura OO con classi, ereditarietà, fortemente tipizzata ecc. ma allo stesso tempo introducendo una serie di strumenti per la programmazione asincrona (come i futures) un po’ “alla javascript” semplificando così molto l’implementazione di applicazioni complesse (per esempio che richiedono concorrenza o l’utilizzo della rete) rispetto a Java. Ah e il fatto che qualche versione a questa parte sia fortemente null-safe è una comodità a parer mio da non sottovalutare. Come detto sopra non sono un programmatore esperto, ma se ora come ora dovessi scegliere un linguaggio tra Java, Javascript, C# e Dart sceglierei Dart abbastanza a occhi chiusi.

Su Flutter posso fare un confronto più limitato purtroppo, poiché per il momento l’unico altro framework per costruire UI che ho approfondito veramente è JavaFX (e fidati, anche qui a parer mio Flutter è avanti anni luce). L’unica cosa che mi sento di dire è che all’inizio l’approccio a “albero di widget” lasciava scettico anche me ma in realtà è molto flessibile e snello (supponendo tu stia programmando con un IDE e non dal blocco note s’intende) e la possibilità di fare hot reload e quindi vedere immediatamente nella tua app i cambiamenti grafici che hai appena fatto al codice senza dover rebuildare è una comodità enorme.

Quindi TL;DR: se hai tempo e voglia, dai a Dart e Flutter una chance e secondo me non te ne pentirai. Ovviamente non sono la soluzione a tutte le esigenze e hanno sicuramente margini di miglioramento, però per molti casi sono secondo me una validissima opzione che nulla ha da invidiare a Java+JavaFX, C#+WPF o JavaScript+[inserire qualsivoglia nome di framework]

Up! Depending on what you are looking for also VanillaOS could be an interesting option

I was on Wayland, but unfortunately switching to X11 didn’t fix the issue

Unfortunately yes, but I have the same issue there :((

OH I didn’t know that ubi games worked that way on Steam, well then I guess this means that AC Odissey (and all other ubi games actually) are broken for everyone playing on linux, steam deck included atm?

But wouldn’t it still try to update the Ubisoft Connect launcher to its latest version, even if the wine runner is older?

Can PayPal act as a traditional debit card though? I thought it was only for online or p2p payments

When it reboots the fans are kinda loud until I enter the password for disk encryption, then everything is as expected. Temperatures are more than ok both before and after the random reboots.

Sorry for the noob question but, how can I run a memtest on it?

Cool. Would be even cooler if there was an alternative to Google Wallet for non-samsung smartphones tho…

I really like Photon, that is a web client but with Firefox PWAs addon can be installed a regular app

EDIT: just seen someone else wrote the same in a different comment, wooops

For anyone else with the same issue, Clipboard sync is disabled by default on GSConnect, but can be simply enabled going to the extension settings and then tapping on the device name. (Yes, I just found out that the device name was tappable and there were lots of per-device settings, wow)

I didn’t know about the toggle, but it seems me much more practical than the notification. I’ll probably go for that one, thank you!

Thanks for pointing this issue out! Idk how the KDE team is moving to address this, but I know that for example the gnome extension Pano (which is a clipboard manager) has a blacklist of apps that should ignore (and which by default is most popular password managers), so KDEConnect could do the same I guess…

And do you have to enable some setting on the desktop side to make it work from linux to android? 'Cause I tried and it wasn’t working out of the box (maybe it’s because I was using GSConnect without having install KDEConnect, could it be?)
