But XFCE IS on Wayland though?

Wait, really? I'd love to see replaceable batteries make a comeback, but something tells me that companies will prefer to up the water resistance instead.

Can this be used to root Android phones?

If yes, it can be useful. If not, it's potentially problematic

I REALLY want to try PlaMo, but I wish I could use Mobile Linux on my phone. I can't, but oh if I could, or if I could run PlaMo on Android, it would've been great. I once even "riced" my phone to look like Plasma Mobile.

No requirements on replaceable batteries? That's the main thing that's missing here. That and making the USB-C port easy to repair, and suddenly you no longer need new phones, just extended software support and repairs.

Yes, give China reason to join WW3. A brilliant idea!

I know, right? Quite ironic that their own devs were going on about how unhappy they were with GDM dropping X11 session support.

I seem to vaguely remember it working on Hyprland a while back, though it's possible I'm misremembering things. Also, idk about it on Nvidia.

How does one even get to add search plugins on Qbittorrent? And how do you make sure they're any good i.e you only visit the good ones?

Yeah, but Canonical have stated they want X11 session support (for GDM to be able to launch, not necessarily for GNOME's X11 session), for 26.04 LTS, for one last LTS.

All true. And yet, plenty of people do want to play those games. And there are other games (Borked) which also cannot be played no matter what. Really annoying, that.

Obligatory Fuck Denuvo. If I had virtually infinite money, I'd do a hostile takeover of Denuvo and burn it to the ground.

This is it! This is it! If teachers can connect to students, then students will listen, will engage, and will be interested, excited, and ready to learn.

I'm not saying it's easy, I'm not saying it's common, but I am saying that I've had a total of about 40 teachers before university, and of them, there are only 2 that I can point to, where students at large felt really engaged with the class. And this is why.

Something tells me Canonical won't just kneel to THE ALMIGHTY GNOME TEAM

How will they reconcile this with Ubuntu that wants 26.04 LTS to still be able to launch X11 sessions from GDM?

For me, the endgame is Fedora. Your mileage may vary, however.

Depends. Do we count in-app purchases of apps I've modded or obtained pre-modded? Do we count the cost of films as one-off rentals/purchases, or do we count them as subscriptions?

If we consider games as buying one-off licences for them that I kept in perpetuity, it would be in the few hundreds, probably about £400.

If we include streaming, as a subscription service that I've used for the last decade roughly, then 10×12×£10 (assuming a tenner a month), we're looking at £1,200 saved for streaming.

However, at least 20-30 films have been downloaded by me personally, so assuming a cost of about a fiver per film (idk how much films go for these days), we're looking at another ~£700.

But also, we have to include ad-free YouTube as YT Premium. And even if we're to assume that YT Premium is anywhere close to the service I provide myself with, i.e downloading things I actually keep as digital files forever, it would still cost a lot. About 5 years of YT Premium would be (according to ChatGPT because I didn't want to research price increases), just over £800.

But I've also watched both Netflix and Disney+ exclusives, namely Squid Game and The Mandalorian, so I guess streaming would've been much more expensive?

Also, we have about a year of Spotify, which ChatGPT (easier to give more accurate estimates) claims is just over £140.

Adding to that, apparently the cost of Netflix over the same period is just over £1,500, so that changes the total.

So far, £3500, not counting in-app purchases in modded games. If we count that (which is ridiculous cuz I would never spend that much money on games, even if I was a liquid trillionaire (meaning having £1T cash)), we'd probably be looking at something in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

I wanted to buy the last issue as Memorabilia, but their site is quite confusing.

When you try to buy it, the May 2025 issue on MagazinesDirect (where they point you to) shows the issue from two months earlier, (Make Linux Mobile) as the May 2025 issue, which I find confusing. If I buy, which one would I get?

Would I get "25 Years of Linux" or "Make Linux Mobile"?

My guess is that the paper editions get published late with a delay.

Edit: The June edition (published 29th April) has now appeared, so I guess that around the end of June, or beginning of July, the last issue will appear.

If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I'd have done the same.

Though in my family, I'm far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests

Unfortunately, they are also shutting down fakespot, which was far more important but nobody used it or even knew of it
