I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.

I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good (www.theverge.com)

For years, Google’s to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks’ simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks...

Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.

AlmaLinux gives up being 1:1 RHEL compatible (almalinux.org)

In case you missed it, Red Hat announced they will no longer be providing the means for downstream clones to continue to be 1:1 binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Very quickly, both Jack and I shared some initial thoughts, but we intentionally took our time deciding the next right step for AlmaLinux OS. After much...

I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.

If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it's initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.

That is true, however, some companies would still want weeks/months of testing the transition in non production environments first with detailed write ups and sign offs before any work can be done. The script may be easy, but the bureaucracy in some of these companies is also yet another level of hurt.

The rate of inflation may be falling, but year on year it's still rising. I mean, I don’t know about you, but the cost of living certainly doesn't feel like it's getting any easier.

Same for KDE, in fact, I would go as far as saying that most Windows users could find their way around KDE very easily within a matter of minutes.

What issues do you have with KDE? It's been solid for me for many years. The initial release of KDE 4 was a bit of a shitshow, but they hadn't EOLed 3.5 at that point yet, and once they did, 4.X was solid.

Just waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren't doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.

We're currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.

Great seeing there's quick progress on this, though. Thank you!

Is this a lost Lemming?

That's the solution I've ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.

I wonder how long it'll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.

If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we'll know they're desperate!

I know it's already been posted there, but for more kbin customisations, have a look at the @kbinStyles magazine

Either that or submit a pull request to the Kbin project. Unlike Reddit, Kbin is open source.
