I do sometimes wish that Valve would simply automatically choose the Proton version of a game to be installed if it's obviously superior (like with Rocket League). Also, why is Steam play not enabled for all titles by default? As far as I know, they're already doing some of that validation for the Steam Deck, might as well use it for Desktop users as well.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for!
Hey everyone! I've been using the Cosmic DE Alpha since yesterday and have been enjoying it so far! What I've been wondering though - is there any place where I can see all the keyboard shortcuts that are used for the tiler and other features, and maybe even change them/set new ones? No matter if it's some piece of official documentation or a config file. Thanks for your help!

They certainly do, at least to an extent. In many fields where you have to work with a lot of data people will use R or Python to handle/transform/perform calculations.

True. HPC definitely plays a big role in the field, and essentially all compute clusters run some sort of Linux distro. Even though clients that can also be run locally then often have Windows binaries too, I'd say software support on Linux is at least as good as on Windows, probably a bit better.

A lot of my professors of meteorology (and IT courses, of course) also use either Ubuntu or Kubuntu! Love to see it

I'm likely going to try out Wave Terminal with a self hosted LLM. I think it may well be quite useful, just don't want to upload my entire command history to OpenAI.

Highly depends on where you are in the world. I feel like PHEVs might make some sense in America, in Europe demand is shrinking every year since charging networks have gotten fairly good and BEVs offer more flexibility in terms of charging, especially if you can't charge at home.

I think not wanting to federate/bridge with Bluesky is a very bad idea. The entire idea is that we should get a Fediverse that is as connected as possible, not split up into many tiny subsets of users.

It wouldn't be trivial to package such a big app as a flatpak (or snap for that matter) and also maintain it properly, so as long as the original developers don't do the work I think it is unlikely to happen. But for a tool that I'm going to be using a lot in the future I think it makes sense to invest the time once to install it, even if it's a bit more complicated.

As for DaVinci Resolve, installation can be a bit weird if you don't happen to run one of the officially supported Distros. Because of that, the easiest way to run it is probably via DistroBox, Michael Horn made a great tutorial about that: https://youtu.be/wmRiZQ9IZfc

If you want something that works very well and is quite convenient, I can recommend the Scaleway S3 Glacier storage. If you only need a few GBs, it will only cost a couple of cents per month.

If anything, I feel like Nextcloud Mail is the thing that's going to end up being killed, not Roundcube. Nextcloud doesn't exactly seem like a company that would buy a superior product just to kill it off.

I had been using Linux on servers for years, and finally also decided to give it a shot on the Desktop during the Linux challenge from linustechtips. Went to PopOS first, then Fedora and Debian and am currently on OpenSuse.

I know, but at least we'd only have one physical connector at that point. While there are indeed a lot of standards for USB C, many of them are not all that relevant in day-to-day use when you're mostly just looking to connect some basic USB peripherals like a mouse, a thumb drive or charge your phone.

I'd honestly love to see everything USB-C-ified. Would be great to finally just have one standard to concern yourself with.

Sure, but the form factor of the Steam Deck will always limit performance and carry some extra cost with it. And for a large user base installing another OS on a PC (Holo ISO) is something they are not going to do. Hence, Steam Machine.

May try it out if I can get over the fact that I won't have multi language support without switching manually anymore. I've been trying to move away from SwiftKey, but as someone who typed regularly in 3 (occasionally 4) languages and switches between them quite a lot, it's a feature that I'm not sure I can live without. So far I haven't seen any FOSS keyboards supporting multi language in such a seamless way.

Fire TV has been a horrible experience for a while and is only getting worse with them adding more and more apps. I have yet to use a Fire TV that is not a laggy piece of garbage. Honestly, whenever someone I know is looking for a TV I urge them to stay away from Fire TV at all costs.

Actually, the goal is to fold all of these national digital payment schemes (like iDeal, Payconic, Giropay,...) into a unified European system called WERO which is also based on SEPA Instant Transfers and will be rolled out over the next couple of years. They actually just finished the acquisition of iDeal recently.

Thinking about finally getting one. The 512GB OLED does look very good...
I also wonder if they're ever going to have a non-handheld console (essentially a revamped Steam Machine). I've heard a bunch about people building PCs and running Holo ISO on there as a console replacement, might make sense to have an official solution from Valve.

Jup, love that the price is not just not being increased with upgraded specs, the remaining stock of the old Steam Deck variants is actually being significantly discounted.

As I understand, even when paying you would still see ads and not get any benefits over what Twitter is at the moment whatsoever. I honestly cannot imagine the platform retaining many users after such a drastic step.

I do agree that adding some kind of backup option is probably a good idea. For many people, losing their email account would mean being locked out of basically all their online accounts (or, in case the account gets compromised, it would mean that all other online accounts would now be compromised too). The majority of people do not use password managers or 2FA, and I've made the experience that many people simply cannot be convinced to make online security a priority. While I'm also a FOSS and online privacy advocate and use tons of self hosted services for that reason, having some way to regain access to their Google account is almost certainly worth the extra data point that Google gets access to. Especially since the likelihood of them already knowing about your phone number is basically 100% if you are logged in on an Android device.

As others have already mentioned, there will be EU regulation that comes into effect soon that will force messengers to be interoperable. Despite following the topic quite actively, it still seems to be quite uncertain how this interoperability will look like. I also have some concerns about companies making interoperability opt-in, requiring users to go to the app settings and manually turning it on or presenting them with a popup that makes it seem like interoperability is a security risk (a Meta spokesperson revealed that they were pushing for a solution like that pretty heavily). Either way, before trying to get other people to migrate to another platform I would first wait and see what the implications of this regulation are.

As far as I know, that's the plan. They just haven't had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)
You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies

I get the criticism that you still need to use the CLI for many more advanced tasks, but 11 "program install processes"? I assume you mean package managers? I only use two on Debian, apt and flatpak and don't really see the need for anything more. If you just use a gui store like Gnome Software or Discover you don't even see a difference between the two in the first place.
The only time that issues arise is when you try to instal something that is not (or not properly) supported on Linux. Otherwise I'd argue the presence of a centralized store GUI even makes installing apps easier on Linux than on Windows.

Would be interesting to hear a little more about your setup. I had some issues when I had Nextcloud installed directly on Debian (though nothing this major), have since switched to running it on Docker and it's been very solid.

Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!

Great! May have been because the Thunderbird team seemingly officially took ownership of the Flatpak.
Does anybody have any insight on why the [Thunderbird Flathub app](https://flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.Thunderbird) seems to be unavailable? Even before that, we were still waiting on the Supernova update..

My main deal breaker with most open source keyboards is the usually pretty bad multi language support. I type in three languages all the time and don't want to have to switch keyboards every time I switch the language. Currently using SwiftKey, just because it handles multi-language (fairly) well.

I think this is a pretty good idea, actually. While this kind of information is available in most western places, people usually can't be bothered to look it up and then have very weird ideas about what their taxes are probably spent on. This would at least help clear some things up.

Thank you for all your ideas! It turned out that the problem was primarily on the other device. The device that is meant to connect to the TrueNAS app in question is a Debian server that has Tailscale installed on a Docker container. Here, accept-routes is set to false by default, and since I'm starting the container with docker compose, I have still not figured out how to pass the --accept-routes parameter. Anyway, this is completely unrelated to TrueNAS, so this is probably the wrong place for it.
Hey! For a while now I've been using Tailscale to access some of my apps in TrueNAS Scale remotely. Since I also want to be able to access my SMB shares on Truenas, I have so far always resorted to setting both Tailscale and the corresponding apps to using host networking. Not all apps natively support host networking though (e.g. the Immich Community app). Because of this, I cannot access Immich via Tailscale since it is not "listening" on the Tailscale interface/Tailscale IP range. Is there any option to either configure Tailscale in a way that it can access both TrueNAS apps and host system services like SMB or alternatively some way to make TrueNAS apps listen to requests from the Tailscale interface as well? Thanks in advance!
I started watching at the end of season 7 and have been watching regularly since last season. I'm thinking about going back and checking out some older episodes.
I think making the ownership of larger cars more expensive is probably one of the best ways to make them less attractive to the average driver. Whether parking fees, taxes or other methods are the best way remains to be seen.
[energy-charts.info](https://energy-charts.info) provides a great overview over electricity generation by sector, renewable share and a lot of other data on the German electricity network. They also provide estimates for the next few hours and scenarios how the electricity network could look like in a few decades.
I've seen different opinions on this. Some people will certainly be looking for community-maintained distributions since they are unlikely to undergo a change like this. In particular some sysadmin Youtubers ([like Veronica Explains](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUXYbt1eLTA)) have been saying that they are switching their clients over. But others have been saying that Debian won't really have too much of a chance as they don't offer the same amount of professional support. What do you think?
I've been using TrueNAS Scale for a while now, but have never actually come across any official documentation/repository/possibility to file bug reports for TrueNAS Scale apps marked as "Official" in the available applications (e.g. Plex Media Server, Home Assistant, etc). Have I just miraculously missed it or do these apps actually not have any form of documentation or support?
