that makes sense, I might try it sometime soon.

A lot of the books I acquire 100% legally have messed up cover metadata

How would you say Calibre is better than just putting the epubs straight on the ereader?

I've always thought that the photon project didn't receive enough money.

Misleading headline, it's only one of multiple "addictive features" they're considering banning to make social media less addictive.

I'm trying to make a fairly simple libadwaita app in the builder ide with python and blueprint, but the official documentation isn't very clear. Does anyone know of a good beginner-friendly tutorial?

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn't

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don't have a reddit account.

Middle click paste is a very useful feature for a lot of people, but new linux users are not those people.

I personally switched two years ago, and got several people I know to switch too. Everyone I know who switched (including me) was confused by middle click paste.

It's a hard to intuitively understand action (took me several months until I understood it took the selection for some reason) that is very easy to trigger accidentally, and that duplicates existing functionality.

The people who like it already know it exists, and could just toggle it on.

Of course, on distros not aimed at beginners, like say, debian, it should remain the default.

For context stowaways are what let you shape your build, and in my playthrough I went all in on the ones that boost how fast you stagger enemies.

There's been some posts about Graphene leaving france and accusing the government of targeting them.

This isn't happening. What happened is that le parisien posted an article that presents what french law enforcement think of grapheneOS, which is obviously mostly crap, then present part of graphene's respone, which does in fact include their references to human rights organizations, large tech companies and others using GrapheneOS, unlike what grapheneOS claims. The main flaw with the article is the fact that the author takes what the french law enforcement says at face value, which is not a good move.

If you haven't been following this you may be wondering how this was extrapolated into the government targeting them. Well, it's because government owned news sites also reported on this. This is because le parisien's article got regurgitated by a bunch of other news sites looking for an easy article to get ad revenue from, normal news site behavior. The government news sites are fully editorially independent from the government, which the GrapheneOS lead should know, since that's how the canadian CBC works.

For chat control, that measure isn't supported by the majority of french meps, just the (massively unpopular) head of state and his minority government. No similar law has been passed nationally, in fact, a law that guarantees privacy rights is making it's way through the legislature (tuta article). If chat control passes, it affects several of the countries (germany and belgium, afaik) they moved to as well, anyways.

Graphene's announcement also disparages the other two big privacy roms, both based in france, which is odd and makes me personally think this may have more to do with the visible hatred the project lead has for those projects.

Please tell me what you think, and if I missed anything important, because it really seems like a big nothing-burger to me.

I'm currently writing an article on the subject, and want to properly represent people's views.

“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

...yikes

The whole commute is semi-protected bike lanes, frankly having them be fully protected would be useless since the speed limits are quite low.

I'm so happy the urbanist party holds the mayors office, elections are coming up so I hope it holds.
