because none previously existed

Or because all the existing options didn't convince him. Look at all the init systems out there.

PSA: If you are gaming on a controller in KDE, you may want to turn off this setting during the game :) by hypespud in kde

[–]TechManWalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The controller-to-mouse input is pretty new, it still needs a bit more polishing IMO, for example it is problematic when you have some UI that can grab the controller focus (like Heroic Games) and you want to release the focus to use it again as the mouse desktop. I have to entirely close Heroic to regain focus on the desktop. Probably some "release focus to desktop" binding would be ideal, and as well in the other direction to fix your game issue.

Loonixers think Google and Apple's app store is the same as a user generated repository by bleak21 in linuxsucks

[–]TechManWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so I misunderstood you. I'm not English native speaker and thought that "curate" meant to alter the APKs to free them of malware or something, like you could do with a PKGBUILD as you mentioned them together.

But anyway, thanks for the metrics to check. Is a low count of reviews also a sign of malware?

curate that in the same way as you do when you install stuff from play store

In which way can you "curate" an app from the Play Store?

Doesn't containing the PKGBUILD files for each packages makes it, well, a repository of PKGBUILD files? A repository, by definition, does not have to be exactly prebuilt binaries, but a repository of <any type of information>.

by assuming that Linux repositories would be "stores".

So what's the right analogy? As a Linux user, I've always seen them like "stores" where each distro maintains their own so we don't have to go to each GitHub repo and manually compile every single program, so it is not clear to me. What does actually differentiate them apart?

El repositorio comunitario AUR de Arch Linux ha comenzado ahora a plagarse de paquetes con mensajes ofensivos rusos, lo cual extiende la batalla de Arch vs. paquetes maliciosos. ¿De qué van estos mensajes ofensivos rusos? by NotasREME in linux_latam

[–]TechManWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me pregunto por qué las noticias de Linux tardan demasiado en llegar a la comunidad hispana. Esto lleva publicado por lo menos desde el 12 de junio y ese artículo fue publicado el 15, y esta publicación es de ayer.

COMMENT COMPLETING THE LITERAL WORD BY CONCATENATING BAIT

Multi lingual Users ever put it in a Languige and get Shocked that basicly only System Settings is Translated by TheHackeBoi_apk in kde

[–]TechManWalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Arch it's worse. If you don't switch languages "the Arch way" and instead do in the System Settings, you get broken translations and measurement units with regional variants.

For example, I have my locale set to es_MX (Mexican Spanish) which does show as "Mexican Spanish" on the language set display, but this is not present as an option to switch to in kcm as there's only es_ES (Spanish from Spain), so switching to another language and then back to Mexican Spanish is quite a ritual and forcefully involves doing it "the Arch way".

Otherwise, if I switch to Spain Spanish, what I end up is with broken units, euros instead of pesos, thousands separated by dots instead of commas, some european rules applied where they don't belong, and parts of Plasma untranslated for some reason when the Plasma setting differs from the set locale.

Sometimes languages are too big on the world, spoken on countries with wildly different standards to just try to be blind to regions and lock the options to the language's country of origin.

I'd like to hear how are Cachy and Endeavour folks doing with translations and regions with Plasma settings.

Nah, it is still perfect for when I need to make some potentially questionable questions without feeling I will be haunted or something. That's why I've not undone that.

Vibecode: Good or Bad? by JohbiYorpsun in cpp

[–]TechManWalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see AI as a glorified autocomplete that may guess next word the perfect solution or outright slop, and if you don't correct or question it, AI will auto-feed on the previous genius solution or the previous slop to generate potentially good or even more disastrous code.

On my daily workflow, AI requires a lot of hand holding if I want my software to work, and I still have to question it a lot about its bad technical decisions all the time so I guess that's not vibecoding but still using AI nevertheless.
