They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.

It’s sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.

From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.

I heard of MakeMKV before, thing is that I generally don’t buy blu-rays because of the downright horrible DRM schemes.

if DRM makes it harder for me to enjoy the content I bought and paid for (this includes limiting me to some lowres garbage even though my system is more than capable of playing HD and FHD video) compared to what I would get if I were to pirate it then it’s a problem of distribution; not one of morality.

you will always have some group that pirates your content no matter what; but if buying gives me a worse product because of artificial restrictions put on it I can’t give any less of a shit.
there’s very few streaming platforms that even give me a decent option (and I don’t even properly own my library; all I get is a license to watch/listen to something, one that could be revoked at any time in the future without me being able to do anything except complain about it).

Most dvd’s should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.

BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can’t do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn’t get much better either)

If japanese kanji show as their Chinese variant make sure you are using the proper font variant. My recommendation is noto-sans-cjk-jp.

Fedora does allow you to set the locale, it doesn’t mention generating them so they might very well already be present You can use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/ to read more than I can tell you here.

sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.

The best course of action is to consume as much content in the target language as possible, tv shows, music, YouTube videos… Your brain will eventually pick up on certain parts of the language naturally. Also the best thing you can do is to not force yourself to speak or write in that language until you are comfortable doing so (this is one of the biggest things doulingo does wrong).

I can attest to this method working as I went from barely knowing a couple of English words to speaking it in about 4 months (you could probably do less if you stick to what I outlined above). To back up this method I suggest you look at antimoon which is written by people who have used this to learn English as well.

If I can give my thoughts on what I’ve seen in research and linking various factors together.

1. A not insignificant amount of neurodivergent people tend to pursue a career in IT (mainly people with ASD), these people can learn a lot through self study as it tends to align more with their personal interests, at some point through this they may become exposed to Linux and open source and subsequently choose to learn about that.
2. Research has revealed a strong link between ASD and gender dysphoria. People diagnosed with ASD are ~4 times more likely to experience it.
3. Even if you go through gender reassignment, you are still subject to the societal programming associated with your initial gender (which for boys tends to include videogames).

While these 3 facts on their own don’t mean much, I can see how these come together to create an above-average amount of trans women in the IT and Linux spheres and this only gets amplified by stereotypes.

That said, this is mere speculation on my end based on the things I mentioned above, I am sure it plays a role; but I cannot be sure as to how significant that is in the grand scheme of things.

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

Length might have mattered in the 80s and 90s when IDEs were crap but we got autocomplete in pretty much all our text editors (even TUI ones like vim).

As for readability there is an argument to be had in specific contexts, but 9 out of 10 times it makes more sense to use a proper word.

Example:

let list = [1, 2, 3];
for i in list {
    println!("{}", i);
}

In this case using item in the place of i would be more fitting.

I've been using when, it's very simple; but so are my needs for a calendar.

Go to the site, right click on the url bar and at the bottom there's the option.

Any site that implements open search can be added.

Then it might be one of those scripts

Eternity sounds good to me, and there’s even a fun reference in it for those who play antimatter dimensions

You don’t know how much I missed this app and how much Lemmy feels like home now

No problem, I was looking for this after I tried using fish seriously for a month and it was the only thing I needed

you should be able to reconfigure the plugin, I have it set to pull from history first and after that look for standard command completion using the following:

ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY=(history completion)

important is that you put this BEFORE sourcing the plugin.

the github should carry more information on how to configure this plugin.

PS: I use all of 4 plugins (fzf-tab-bin, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-history-substring-search) and I have a better shell in zsh than I will ever have in fish, I don’t need anything more fancy and oh-my-zsh is hell to work with compared to a simple .zshrc I handrolled because it’s got any other shell I know beat (yes I know of nushell and it is cool, but it’s even less posix than fish). also, once you’re done run zcompile .zshrc, you won’t regret it.

They happen because the font is not patched property, your best bet is getting the nerd fonts and trying those, popular fonts will generally look nicer.

I like the aero aesthetic tbh, especially the vista rendition.

It’s heavy on GPU for sure; but it manages to pull off a relatively consistent look (or at least more consistent than anything that came after)
