@dain Oof yeah that sounds annoying to deal with. IMO flatpak apps are pretty flakey and it's a coin toss whether it'll work 🥲 The screenshot and color stuff may or may not be a wayland issue. POP still uses gnome right? I'd have expected that to be solved by now
@dain oh? Has wayland been giving you trouble? I found it to be pretty stable these days.
people becoming interested in decentralized autonomous governance but somehow missing 200 years of anarchist theory and arriving instead at fake computer money is galaxy level political illiteracy
@rosano The main thing I hear over and over again js yhat they want to be where all the other people are. You can't talk features or dynamics when that's all that matters in the end. 🤷

animals enjoy my company, and I'm never without wheat. here, take some. *I hand you a scoop of grain from my apron pocket* there you are—but remember, nothing in life is free. you owe me something in return. I would like a binary-compatible drop-in replacement for libncurses written in rust. no worries, I can wait. you can write it through the winter, subsisting on the debt I have just loaned you. they call this leverage, in the finance world. I have many friends in that industry—bulls and bears, mostly.
