Man, I can’t decide if I like more Gnome or Cosmic.

I have a HTPC which i use for watching stuff and playing games. I run Bazzite with Plasma Big Screen and launch games using Bottles and console emulators. Bottles, Lutris and most emulators have features for adding games to the system menu and they work just fine.
I use a gamepad (8BitDo Ultimate 2C) to control the PC and sometimes also a tiny keyboard for typing. It’s a bit rudimentary at times and took some time to get used to but it gets the job done without signing in to Steam or any other online service.


They had announced the end before they started the boycot so everyone at Sony knew it’s nothing to worry about.


This boycot action didn’t make sense even in the beginning.


Having my messeges go through a third party does not seem like the best idea for me but thanks to your post I am finally about to get into matrix chat and set up my own bridges on my home server.
I can’t force people off these platforms but at least I can get these apps off my phone.


Over the last 10 years, I bought 5 digital games and played through dozens of physical. I guess it’s on me.


I whish i was there…


What problems?


It fixed itself for me. I’ve just tried it on another website and it works fine.


Mostly Qwant, occasionally ddg, mojeek and others, including my own instance of SearxNG (google doesn’t respond to it most of the time).
Thanks to enshittification of google, there is not much difference between it and other search engines so being unable to use it via alternative frontends doesn’t make that much of a dofferencd.
I should probably use searxng more often…


It’s not much of a loss because google search results are shit anyway.


I guess it was a CloudFlare issue because it’s just started to work again.


Same here. It doesn’t work on Zen either.


Why do you assume I haven’t?


Dude discovers tastes are subjective and hard to describe with numbers.


Looks like another punishment for buying their games legally. Cracked versions don’t connect to their servers so they wont load ads.


I recently ditched Manjaro for Debian and it’s amazing. I installed Nvidia drivers as desceibed on Debian’s wiki and have never had to read the wiki since then. Games work fine, system doesn’t break after update, always wakes up from sleep (it was a gamble on Manjaro but mostly didn’t work) and shuts down properly (Manjaro tended to freeze with black screen once it exited DE).
I used to be reluctant about switching to Debian and its derivatives because i read so much about the outdated packages and haven’t had the best experience with pop os but Debian just works and it’s amazing.


I don’t quite understand the outrage about this feature because it seems like a reasonable use case.
On the other hand, I haven’t tried it yet but it don’t expect much from this feature after having played around with whisper model some time age and finding out it recognizes German way worse than me, while it’s only my third language.
I’m on fedora at the moment so I’m a few months back but it still lacks some native apps and could really use some extensions system but I just love its feel, even though I miss Gnome’s consistent design and extensions.
