Israel asks Indonesia, African nations to take Palestinians from Gaza
Edited for Clarity
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu tasked Israel's Mossad foreign intelligence agency with finding countries that would agree to receive large numbers of Palestinians ~~displaced~~ ethnically cleansed from the Gaza Strip, two Israeli officials tell Axios.
Why it matters: President Trump's proposal to ~~remove~~ ethnically cleanse all two million Palestinians from Gaza to rebuild the enclave hasn't gone anywhere. But Netanyahu is also looking for ways to ~~relocate~~ ethnically cleanse large numbers of Palestinians, potentially to countries thousands of miles away.
Behind the scenes: Talks have already taken place with Somalia and South Sudan — two poor conflict-plagued countries in East Africa — as well as other countries including Indonesia, according to the two Israeli officials and a former U.S. official.
• Netanyahu gave Mossad the secret assignment several weeks ago, the Israeli officials say.
• The Israeli Prime Minister's Office declined to comment.
Driving the news: Israel is pushing this move and other measures to encourage the ~~removal~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza, while at the same time resuming the ~~war~~ genocide and issuing ~~evacuation~~ ethnic cleansing orders for Palestinians from parts on the enclave.
• Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials have vowed to ~~occupy~~ ethnically cleanse more and more of Gaza if Hamas refuses to release the remaining hostages.
• Israeli officials have discussed, but not yet ordered, a massive ground invasion of Gaza that would involve forcing most of the population into a small ~~"humanitarian area"~~ concentrated ethnic cleansing camp in the south of the Strip.
The big picture: Around 90% of Gaza's residents have already been ~~displaced~~ ethnically cleansed by the ~~war~~ genocide, and over 50,000 have been killed according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
• Despite the horror they have endured, many Palestinians vehemently oppose any efforts to ~~remove~~ ethnically cleanse them from their homeland.
• The Palestinian Authority, numerous Arab countries and most Western countries have long opposed the ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.
The latest: Israel's Cabinet this week approved the formation of a special directorate in the Ministry of Defense that will oversee the ~~"willful departure"~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.
• Despite the label, the ~~expulsion~~ ethnic cleansing policies pushed by officials like ultranationalist Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich can hardly be described as "willful."
• Speaking in in the Knesset last month, Smotrich spoke in vivid terms about the timeline for ~~expelling~~ ethnically cleansing the entire population of Gaza. "If ~~we take out~~ ethnically cleanse 10,000 a day it will take six months. If ~~we take out~~ ethnically cleanse 5,000 a day it will take a year," he said.
• U.S. and Israeli Legal experts contend that such a massive ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing would be a war crime.
Yes, but: While several countries have agreed to take small numbers of sick Palestinians, mainly children, from Gaza, no country has agreed to accept massive numbers of Palestinians from Gaza.
• Egypt and Jordan have both strongly opposed Trump's plans to ~~relocate~~ ethnically cleanse large numbers of Palestinians to those countries.
• Trump isn't actively pursuing his ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing plan at the moment, and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is totally focused on getting a new deal between Israel and Hamas that will secure the release of hostages and restore the ceasefire, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

Well if we're going to agree to live in a world where words don't have meanings anymore, then sure, China's a "democracy".
If however we want to have an adult conversation about it, then we need to agree on the meaning of words, and "democracy" is literally "rule by the people". Given this (admittedly broad and forgiving) definition, China with its autocratic , centralised rule by a one-party government for which the public has no peaceful means of deposing is objectively not a democracy.
This isn't to say that the US is much better of course, but you don't do yourself any favours by measuring yourself against the dumbest kid in the class.
They're both terrible, though at least the US has free(ish) and fair(ish) elections.

From the article ...
On March 23rd, as Mr Imamoglu was being moved to a maximum-security prison on the city’s outskirts, the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) staged a primary election to confirm him as its candidate in the next presidential elections, scheduled for 2028. It was open to all voters, not just CHP members. The party said 15m Turks took part.
... and ...
Meral, a housewife, joined the protests with her daughter, a university student. “This is not about Imamoglu or the CHP,” she says. “This is because our right to vote and to be elected is being taken away.”

Looking for YouTube Tutorials on Arch
I'm moderately experienced with linux. Been using it as my daily driver since 2018. Mostly using Fedora but also have a Debian server. I'm pretty comfortable with systemd but don't love the bloat.
Anyway, I've decided that I'd like to try Arch. So I'm looking for tutorials to help me learn or get familiar with Arch instead of just diving in head first like a madlad.
So what Arch tutorials do you like and are there any that you'd recommend that I watch?
Edit: lmao you guys are brutal. yeah i know about the arch wiki, rtfm and all that. I know i'll be spending a lot of time with the wiki. I just wanted to get a rough intro first. Well, I guess I'm off to read the fkin wiki now.
For actual tutorials the Wiki is the best choice.
Reviews etc. I always found pointless, and esp. with Arch because of its user-centricity: each install will be different.
FWIW I've been using it for 10 years and the only gripe I have is that my hardware is getting old while Arch isn't.
Read the arch wiki if you are in doubt, go through manual install once for experience, follow the arch wiki guide for that too.
Arch wiki is life, YT guides are basically useless for this.
Either you are heavily misinformed about how difficult arch is, or you lack any confidence in your 'Linux skill'.
Choose the system you want to achieve, follow the wiki and choose the software you want to use using it and you are good to go, it really is not that hard.
You can always use archinstall.
As others said, the Arch wiki is so well made that it should be the only source you need. Videos will not bring you anything given your background. The main difference with other distros will be the package manager.
A video about the install process will just be someone reading the wiki to you, and a video to "explain" pacman to you will be overkill ;)
The reason videos aren't recommended is because they quickly go out of date. Text is easier to update, and so are screenshots.
The wiki is the most comprehensive guide you will find.
However if you don't know what you are looking for help on, it is best to search up what issue you are having, then consult the wiki when you learn the terminology you needed to find the page.
Well, I guess I'm off to read the fkin wiki now.
You can always install an arch derivative like endeavour instead and click through the wizard
Global anti-Elon Musk protests planned at nearly 200 Tesla showroom locations
Hundreds of protests at Tesla showrooms are planned across the US and internationally on Saturday. Organizers have dubbed it Tesla Takedown’s Global Day of Action, the latest and largest in a series of demonstrations that began shortly after Donald Trump was inaugurated. Organizers say the rallies will take place in front of more than 200 Tesla locations worldwide, including nearly 50 in California alone.
The protesters’ goal is to send a message to the Trump administration that they’re against what the Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is doing with the US federal government – laying off thousands of workers, cutting department budgets, giving fascist salutes and getting rid of entire agencies.
. . .
Tesla Takedown describes itself as a decentralized grassroots movement that will “protest Tesla for as long as Elon Musk continues to shred public services”. The group says on its organizing page that Musk is “destroying our democracy using the fortune he built at Tesla” and so, in turn, they are “taking action at Tesla”. Local organizers are planning their own demonstrations rather than coordinating with one national group.

lol i mean yeah, but people want to feel like they are doing SOMETHING. Annoying tesla dealerships at worst succeeds at annoying a few dealership owners and a bunch of dealership employees, some of which also likely hate elon at this point, lets be real.
low cost, low reward, or whatever, but its about making noise and keeping it in the news. Which shit goes on long enough sometimes the mainstream media gets swayed shortly before they start saying property damage is maybe worse than murder.
I just think it's funny how being kind to front line workers, because they aren't the people being assholes, is one of the most common memes on social media. Now though, because people are caught up in the hype, they've completely forgotten their own ideals and lash out at those they have previously declared to be their friends.
This is the kind of behaviour that leads to religion, because having an actual hard coded set of rules gives the victim the ability to point to something physical to say "hey, we're supposed to be your friends jackasses" when these sorts of things happen.
FBI investigating after multiple incendiary devices found at Tesla dealership in Texas
Tesla dealerships have faced attacks since Elon Musk began his White House role.Megan Forrester (ABC News)
The vast, vast, vast majority of protestors are not engaging in any acts that could be considered terrorism. The OP linked article is about peaceful protests. Your parent comment was “that’ll show the minimum wage slaves.”
So should no one protest peacefully because a handful of people have committed acts of violence?
I suppose that’s the risk we all run in Trumps America.
Perhaps if the leaders at the very top weren’t sociopaths who provoke critics, scapegoat immigrants and encourage the sale of firearms to every American, then we could all be living in a peaceful nation without the fear of a Molotov crashing through the window of a Tesla dealership at any given time.
This IS something. People can dismiss this as useless performative nonsense, but it is working. The stock bubble has popped, so the stock has lost over half its value, which has cost MuskRat a good portion of his fortune, and has also famaged the portfolios of many Sociopathic Oligarchs. The company image has cratered, and instead of feeling cool and superior in their Tesla, owners are uncomfortable, and drawing negative personal attention, just for driving it. They are also at risk for vandalism, or even destruction. New sales have plunged in America, and are almost non-existent anywhere else. Recovery looks VERY far away for Tesla, and bankruptcy actually looks more likely.
So The MuskRat is starting to panic about losing his most consistent income stream, and the administration seems to be noticing that citizens are organizing in groups large enough to start causing actual problems in the economy. Even other nations have joined. At this point, they think think they can win with threats, but that's only making the opposition bolder.
Soon, the administration will declare an American citizen who vandalized a Tesla to be a Terrorist, and disappear them to the El Salvador torture prison. Then the Tesla protests will grow huge, and spread wider.
The administration is looking to incite violence at a major protest so they can declare Martial Law and suspend elections before the 2026 midterms. They can't take a chance on the Dems flipping one or both chambers of Congress, and taking control of investigatory committees and legislation.
The Tesla protests will be the perfect opportunity for their nefarious plan. They won't do it now, they'll wait until next summer, just before the election, and let the protests grow. But I could be wrong. If you protest, stay alert, keep your head on a swivel, and have an escape route planned in case of serious trouble.
Dua Lipa wins copyright lawsuit over Levitating
Dua Lipa wins copyright lawsuit over Levitating
The pop star had been accused of plagiarising the 1979 disco track Wiggle and Giggle All Night.Mark Savage (BBC News)
However, she is still facing a third legal challenge over the song, from musician Bosko Kante - a featured artist on Levitating, who sang vocals through a talk box.
That's a lot of legal challenges against one song. Wow.
Practically every single major pop music writer has faced a legal challenge. The more successful a song, the more people come out of the woodwork to cash in.
There are no new notes, no new chord progressions, no new rhythms, at least not in the mainstream. People love songs that sound vaguely like something else they already know, because those melodies and rhythms are associated with emotions already. So popular artists are constantly trying to make new songs that sound like songs people already like.
This is not a new phenomenon, and it's why music trends all seem to congeal around a singularity until people get sick of it. It happens in all genres, even experimental music like jazz, dubstep, and screamo, where people try to push the limits of taste and art. Eventually patterns emerge and find the repeating cycle of success, saturation, and surfeit.
And sometimes that works out for lawyers who want to get paid.
What an excellent opportunity to post one of my favorite YouTube videos!
She was previously sued by Florida reggae band Artikal Sound System, who claimed Lipa ripped off the chorus for her song from their 2015 track Live Your Life.
Their case was dropped in 2023 after a judge ruled there was no evidence that Lipa and her co-writers had "access" to the earlier song - a key requirement in any copyright lawsuit.
I never heard any of these and wasn't even sure which song Levitating was so I went and listened to all. The wiggle one, I agree with the judge. But the chorus sounds exactly like Live Your Life. Now that's a ripoff. What amazes me is that you can get away with this saying "no your honor I never heard of this song before and there is no evidence of me ever listening to it". That's outrageous. Especially in this day and age where you can listen to music from a million platforms and devices. It's on YouTube - can you make it more accessible than that??

Wow 100% that was lifted; and not the first time either. When I heard Levitating around I already knew it was a “remix” of something else I’d heard before.
Sorry no way no one on that writing team knew.
It’s still pretty fucking bold to act like Artikal’s was some kind of fuckin’ unique masterpiece. Absolutely they sound pretty damn on the nose for just that chorus but holy crap, it’s not Dua Lipa’s fault(or whoever wrote the song) she took that lazy chorus idea and made it far better(and yes, I also think Levitating isn’t exactly a masterpiece either). Anyone who’s played an instrument with any amount of skill will come up with that rhythm and progression on their own at some point.
I don’t wanna be out here defending celebrities but from a musical creativity standpoint they may as well be suing because she used the same time signature.
Note: I couldn’t even find “Live Your Life” on Apple Music, only Youtube, and typing in just “Live Your Life” without the band name shows a, frankly awful, T.I./Rhianna song.
Also maybe if it was just her. But big artists like her write their music with a huge team. In this case:
- Dua Lipa
- Clarence Coffee Jr
- Sarah Hudson
- Stephen Kozmeniuk, known professionally as Koz
- Jonathan Lyndale known professionally as DaBaby
Are all listed as songwriters on this track, so the idea that nobody involved had heard Live Your Life is pretty unlikely

Without having listened to the other song (I know "Levitating" obviously)... this is definitely a good thing. There is only a limited amount of melodies that are possible to make and if "derivative work" is interpreted very broadly, at some point there won't be any way to make new songs.

Can we please stop with that sort of headline?
RSS + archiving to HTML/PDF function would be good.
TLDR:
I want to produce a markdown, HTML or PDF file for every fetched article of an RSS feed for archival purposes.
If we fetch new articles with RSS, why not have the option to produce a local copy of the articles while we are at it?
Currently, most RSS readers fetch the articles and save a database of articles as some kind of file such as SQlite.
This database file is specific to the software in use (Liferea, etc.), therefore not portable.
Also, images files are either only temporarily saved as a cache and are therefore not visible when viewing the articles offline, or they are saved in an unorganized way (and often renamed).
This is fine for people who just want to read the news or new blogposts. But I want to save those new blogposts in a portable format and be able to read them whenever from any offline device.
Basically, I want something like "SingeFile" (github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) for RSS feeds, automatically (or manually but easily) making a new file for every new article when fetching an RSS feed.
So, is there any open-source RSS software that saves the articles as separate, portable files (such as markdown, HTML, PDF, epub), or at least allows bulk exporting the articles as such?
So close yet so far:
"Newsflash" (from Flathub) allows exporting a HTML file of an article (without the images).
This is almost what I want, but Newsflash doesn't allow selecting multiple articles and queing them to make HTML copies (tedious to do it one by one), nor does it save the images like SingleFile does.
Rationale:
The desired mirroring/scraping function (producing the Markdown/HTML/PDF file from an article) can piggyback from fetching the RSS feed, instead of having to scrape a site/blog separately.
Since we already fetch an article when we use RSS, we should be able to locally parse the article to produce a markdown (if text only), HTML or PDF file. This saves both bandwith and hardware ressources.
It also allows to easily produce a file only for new articles, because RSS inherently appends new articles to your feed list, instead of having to manually specify what to download or not download if scraping manually.

Ukraine Violates Partial Truce by Attacking Russian Gas Station - teleSUR English
Kremlin spokesperson Peskov asserted that Ukrainian attempts to attack energy facilities are a daily occurrence.
On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukrainian forces attacked the gas metering station in Sudzha.
Maybe, maybe not but I argue that Ukraine did.
By this point, it mostly devolved into a game of you did and I did not.
If one side violates it, it's not a ceasefire anymore. It's gone.
So what you're saying is a very disingenuous way to talk about how after every ceasefire, Russia attacks again.
If one side violates it, it’s not a ceasefire anymore. It’s gone.
Nope, Minsk Agreement ceasefire for example continued to be in effect even after both sides conducted ceasefire violations.
In the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, critics say that Telesur has spread Russian disinformation in Latin America.

That's why I'm always a bit reluctant to have an infographic with Mastodon and Lemmy fully connected. Sure, it's possible to interact, but it's not ideal.
Having another one with Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed servers could be better
Yeah i do agree but sadjy, there is a reason some of us call it lemmyverse. We can see mastodon's content.
Since Lemmy doesn't really support hashtag, the core of mastodon discoverability, I think switching to a new software is better.
PieFed plan to support Mastodon this year. They already do it somewhat : you can follow PieFed user and a.gup.pe work well. You can also follow comment or post by setting up an alert.
Currently, only mbin can do that.
yea I mean it's fun to use and works well if you're on a large instance like mastodon.social, I use it even on a medium size instance
but communities/groups work better on the fediverse, and maybe something in between the 2 could be created, some kind of federated version of hashtags
I'm not on mastodon social, i use it on
- peculiar.florist an iceshrimp instance and their dev team want to support PieFed, Lemmy and Mbin
- mastodon.tedomum.net and mastodon.zaclys.com they both belong to a collective of hosters.
And hashtag work well. I have a list where i follow hashtag as if i had a community around this keyword.
If mastodon supported group, they would include lemmy, mbin, piefed support. We can remplace a.gup.pe
Fitik likes this.
like I said, hashtags are fun, but the fact that even if you follow the hashtag it only shows posts that were already federated into your instance confuses people
communities/groups will federate the posts for you if you follow, but following a hashtag does not give any federation
Even if you could follow hashtags on Lemmy, you would also need to be able to follow users for anything to show up (so that's 2 big new features required). And since it requires following users, that would also mean a culture shift would be required, you'd need to convince your instance-mates to use their Lemmy accounts to follow people, but people are mostly here to follow communities not people.
I'm not against the features being added, I just don't think they're going to be as impactful to the Lemmy platform as expected.
Well we would miss lot interesting topics from Mastodon. You may not see the point because english user base is big.
Most of our french user base stayed on Reddit or use Mastodon. Art ? Mastodon. News ? Mastodon...
So how can we solve that ? On Mastodon, i found lot user posting interesting links. Our left french media are also on mastodon. Should be able to crosspost them here ? :)
I went on mastodon, created an account, copy-pasta posted news on various communities, I used hashtag and some users commented on jlai.lu
It does works but we need to allow the users the freedom to be followed or not. If they want to be followed, they can follow mastodon users. And that would be the first step to break "locked" software as reddit, twitter.
We are more open then Reddit but, for me, i think we are replicating proprietary software organisation. We are still creating clone of twitter, reddit whereas we use a protocole that allow us to achieve much more things.
Shouldn't we try something else where lines between various software is blurred ?
These infographics seem better: fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-starte…

For the top services, I’d make each of the blue background circles a different color to better denote that they’re proprietary and incompatible.
For the Fediverse section, you could add Tumblr, and other services who also federate via activity pub to show our interoperability and expansive reach.

It needs a lot more people and lines connecting to the centralize services, like 6+. You have 14 dudes in the fediverse, you should have a similar number of dudes in the traditional centralized social media things. You need to make it clear that every connection between two people goes through that central server. With only 3 or 4 it looks like it's some kind of small community there, like you're just saying "communities exist on Facebook" rather than "on Facebook everybody connects to one central Facebook service". It would also be good to draw a black line around the edge of the bubble to indicate it's a walled garden rather than an open system.
For the Fediverse example, it would be good to have a slightly darker shaded bubble with people around their local fediverse instance. That would indicate that there are local communities, but that they can still communicate with all the other communities. And, maybe show that people can be part of different communities, show one person connected both to a mastodon instance and a Lemmy instance.
Edit: I just thought of something else to make it clearer. On the centralized networks you could also make a darker group of people who are a community on say Facebook, but show that that community has to connect to each-other through the central server.
Maybe you can show that, we don't alway federate with every instance, with several drawing of this cloud network.
That's also part of our freedom :)

I'd say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they're connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.
I'd like a graphic that shows how centralised media blocks connections to others outside thier walled garden.

Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.
If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.
My criticism is that it largely ignores the primary advantage of Fediverse services (Decentralizing services that are designed to operate Centrally), while mostly explaining what I've always considered to be the most pointless feature (Cross Service posting).
It's a mildly neat feature if you want to centralize your entire social profile under one account (which is my security nightmare but you do you), but its not really fundamental to using federated services and its implementation can be inconsistent and confusing.
Maybe have a bunch of "Lemmy" (or whatever) nodes arranged in a circle, the same color, with the same icon, and connected to each other through the middle of the circle (not connecting to the "fediverse", although I guess you could have a transparent "Lemmy" super imposed over it) Then have the users connected to each node. Or something...I'm on a bench and just broadly visualizing it.
The next trick is explaining the fault of centralized services in a graph.

There's no central authority here. But if it doesn't matter which instance you are on, then all the users on Lemmy are still just part of Lemmy.
On the graph I see other icons than Lemmy.
Are we able to see content from other social media? Or what is meant with that
@user@lemmy.verse tagging, you're probably eavesdropping on a Mastadon thread and you don't even know it.
This doesn’t explain things well. Lemmy is like a bunch of Reddits communicating with each other. The graphic makes it seem like there is just one Lemmy. Also, are Lemmy posts on Mastodon? Mastodon was largely empty last I checked.
Edit: I just now noticed the second Lemmy
I think the ATProtocol is better when it comes to connecting between different social media types. But I think ActivityPub makes better use of different servers.
Though I think something like Lemmy is difficult for both because of how different it is from most other social media types.
Needs more chains and walls between groups in the top picture. And maybe some ransom notes.
(This is more to try to make you laugh, than useful feedback, sorry. I don't have a very good idea how to actually include these concepts in a simple diagram.)

If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?
I know Gnome is the default on popular distros: Fedora, Ubuntu, Rhel, Pop OS (it's Cosmic Desktop yes but it is still based on Gnome)...etc. But Gnome just doesnt work for me. I would pick XFCE - stable and no BS.
Before Manjaro and their cetificate shenanigan, I used to use their XFCE version. At the time, it was marketed as the "Flagship Manjaro version". I went 4 years without any problems and I did tinker a lot, just couldnt get their XFCE to break.
After a tough Arch or Gentoo installs, I just want to put XFCE on and call it a day.
What about you guys?

Lol, yep. It's always funny to see xfce as being light weight.
Is this where I continue the meme and say I use arch by the way?
On the other hand KDE discover... Yikes. The software manager uses as much memory as XFCE.
Was on KDE 2, KDE 3 was absolutely incredible, ran it on Mac when it was supported on xquartz.
4 was a mess, but got better, 5 & 6 are fine, but it's overall far better than any other DE, it's just so customizable, the only other thing that comes close is xmonad or something.
Apple actually had good visionaries and design decisions, sometimes.
Never been a fan of apple's hardware decisions, but their software is routinely state-of-the-art even to this day.
They value treating the user like a human instead of a programmer. GNOME values removing as many features as possible to make their jobs easier.
KDE seems interesting, but the last time i tried it, 10 years ago more or less, it was a bit buggy.
Agreed. I used to be a diehard XFCE fan and hated KDE. Then I saw their resource usage came pretty close to each other but KDE had way more development behind it so they could add Wayland support (which I actually don't even use.)
KDE used to be buggy and bloated. They've been improving stability for years and their efforts really show. I used to think it was bloated, but it really isn't if you only use the parts you need. I use it pretty similarly to XFCE, it just has more dev support.
I remember when kde looked like xfce and yeah back then it was buggy. Today it looks like a slightly jank windows 7 but with the giant buttons and curved corners that characterize 2015 software.
Most of the bugs seem to come from Wayland still being vaguely trashy and kde not having fully migrated from xorg
I was just joking around, I hope you didn't take it too personally. I've been hearing a lot of KDE enthusiasm lately.
And xfce is great, but it has its pitfalls.
I also get excited about projects, I'm no different.
The gnome folks are in too deep with popular environments. Like a tick.
(Not The Tick, though, he's swell)
KDE for sure. The modern versions look exactly like how I want a desktop environment to look out of the box, and they keep the full range of customizability that a desktop should, IMO, allow it's users to have. Which is something Windows just kept slowly getting rid of over the years.
I also prefer to have a taskbar that is ever present with a traditional start menu that's cleanly organized by category rather than the current full screen pop up "activities" search thing gnome does nowadays.
I was waiting for someone to say that.
I like that Mate is a thing, but like I said, I'm looking for something thats based on it but as if its had the same 20 years of enhancements everything else got.
The closest thing to that I've found is quite literally KDE. So I use KDE.
I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.
y'all sure like KDE though 🤢
Gnome user: accepts defaults and never having the ability to change a setting
Gnome user: "consistency is great when you don't have opinions of your own!"
There is so much missing from Gnome that is present in most other DEs and even custom WM setups.
There are also plenty of features that gnome has that kde and other desktops and wms don't have. It's all about tradeoffs and what's acceptable or necessary for you.
Cosmic is not based on gnome
Cosmic has devs that give a shit about their users.
Sway for a laptop, Plasma for desktop.
Had you have asked me a few weeks ago, I probably would have said Sway for both,.or maybe Gnome for the desktop... But I decided to check out KDE again for the first time in like 20 years, and while it's still kind of a hot mess it has come a long way.
Cinnamon for 2 reasons
1) KDE is missing a lot of features which still only works in Gnome. Like the taskbar Calendar app syncing events with services like Google Calendar
2) cinnamon is extremely stable and doesn’t move your icons around when you connect to an external display with your laptop and the display has a different resolution.
i was kinda surprised how well it worked tbh, i had been using i3 on it's own for like a year before i tried it
MATE has been on most of my machines, except the BSD ones.
But past year or so, I have grown a fondness towards ctwm, and gradually migrated my machines to it, Linux and BSD alike.
It is not a DE, but the fact that I have to assemble my suite of software myself on my machines, makes the point of using DEs moot.
True people only use i3 or the-other-i3-for-wayland
/s, of course. But still my personal choice
KDE, always
Used it since I switched to the Linux Desktop 25 years ago. Quickly tried gnome, and others, and hated it.
KDE is fast, efficient, looks awesome, is ready to work with, and highly customizable
Personally, I'm disgusted by the "matter of fact" tone GNOME devs take to criticism only to be wrong in the end.
It's like, they dig their heels in so deep on dumb shit like "the dock should be on the side because vertical space is at a premium!" and then renege after years of users telling them they're wrong. Literally whoever is floating ideas like that on their team needs to be fired and blacklisted, but unfortunately they're probably promoted.
They also can't be arsed to include proper settings, so it's up to everyone else to pick up their slack.
At some point, it starts to feel like weaponized incompetence. I genuinely do not want GNOME's culture to pervade more parts of the free software ecosystem.
I also wouldn't have as much of an issue with gnome for removing features if they also made the right design decision in place of those features.
They want to remove features to make things easier on them, not users.
I mean, we already know the solution to gnome's crappy design decisions is to use something else.
This comment chain is specifically about criticizing gnome.
I mean, they added a ton of features, especially minor or niche ones, but a lot of amazing ones like KDEConnect too.
But what makes KDE the best is that the features don't get in the way of core functionality anymore, the basic DE is always safe and they generally layer stuff on such that it doesn't break anything.
So basically the opposite of most of modern software nowadays.
Two inch gap between the plywood rectangle wall and door so everyone can see you taking a shit? A foot between the bottom of the door and the floor so stupid kids can pop their heads under and keep you company? Say no more, I got you covered!
It really is impressed upon me how cheaply every public bathroom is constructed. I feel like somebody could sneeze too hard and the whole thing would jostle apart.

This is why I love gender neutral bathrooms.
All the stalls have actual walls and doors that actually give you privacy.
Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands without touching anything else. And if you have a bag with you, you don't have to grab it with your grody poop fingers and walk to the sink.
Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands
See, I emphatically do not want that.
If I could rely on everyone else washing their hands properly it would be great. But I don't want to have to touch the stall door that has Aleppo been touched by people who haven't washed their hands after I've washed mine. I want the hand washing to be the very last thing I do before exiting, preferably via a push door that I can push with my foot or in a spot that fewer other people would push it.
I mean... My Mac M1 doesn't allow right-click create a new file. 😮💨 ! Also, if I recall correctly, there is a similar thing that made me go crazy on Gnome DE.
Nowadays, people hate to get everything neatly separated in a nice and well ordered directory structure. They throw everything in the same directory and use the find/search function, for what it's worth.
That's similar as the saying:
Give them fish, and they will have something to eat for days. Teach them how to fish and they will have something to eat for a lifetime.
Something along the line 😅
Gen Z here, in college.
Some of these people are braindead when it comes to tech.
Like, I get if you're not used to technology because you're poor/had a lack of access to it, as many people might not have a home computer. So there were kids who were absolutely hopeless when it came to using windows at my tech school because they were broke, and the school only gives out Chromebooks (cause they're shitty and cheap).
But outside of not knowing a UI and different file formats, you should absolutely know how to use anything on the web, unless you literally lived in an area with absolutely no internet and electricity.
Some people at my college STILL don't know how to share Google documents correctly, and it's the most insane and frustrating thing to me. Literally any device with an Internet connection can use it. Windows, apple, Chromebook, Linux, you name it. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK GOOGLE DRIVE?!?!?!
Like many comments have said, devs have dumbed down a lot of shit in the name of protecting users, and people expect stuff to just work without any issues/effort, which I get, but damn, you've never simply done a 5 mins search on Google or YouTube for a quick fix?
My hand-me-down phone journey started with a Samsung G Note 4 as a kid, then a old iPhone (don't remember which), moved to a Moto G Play 7 (I adore that thing today), moved to iPhone X, and now I'm at a Pixel 8a cause I put GrapheneOS on it. My mom got me it as a grad gift cause I hated my iPhone so much for all the shit I couldn't do while I was on it. I've always just liked Android and Windows more for the freedom to fuck up (which I never did), instead of Apple's shitty walled garden. And now I'm on Fedora, because I know I don't have to subject myself to a shit user experience on Windows just for simplicity.
But other people my gen who aren't willing to be adventurous for a bit and even try will never do that. Hell, you get shamed in school for not loving the Apple overlords and wanting Apple deciding everything in your life (green bubble shaming is real, I hated middle and early high school...). We want quick and easy, and we got it, but at what cost?
Some people at my college STILL don't know how to share Google documents correctl
They emulate a "files" menu (like any native office software has), where you can download/export it to a standardized format. Right?
Well, for the download/export stuff, yeah, you just go to the "File" tab and click the download drop down tab, and you can save it to the computer or Google Drive. Which some people still didn't know about somehow but... (Some people never touch the tabs I guess)
But when I mean file sharing, I'm talking like sharing stuff to another person's drive, or simply just letting them have access to it by clicking a link. To be fair, sometimes the sharing is wonky or really dumb, but it's basically, give access to specific emails/accounts, give access to anyone within your organization with the link, or give access to anyone who has the link. You can specify if this access link should be viewer, commenter, or editor.
The amount of people who have shared a document with incorrect access rights where teachers can't see their work and have to ask them to resubmit, or trying to do group projects with people who claim that it's not working, is fucking insane. I get some of them are just being lazy and probably lying about it not working to get more time to procrastinate, but dead serious, some people just have no idea how to share files correctly. My public speaking class was full of these blunders, especially when sharing a presentation done with Canva, and we'd always have to waste like 3 minutes waiting for them to fix it...
Me and a classmate were absolutely stunned when we saw this girl typing in her password, and using Caps Lock to do uppercase letters instead of shift. We looked at her like, "WTF are you doing?" And she seriously did not know what the shift button was for.
I just don't know how nobody showed or told her this before, and we're in college...
Yeah, we got Chromebooks, with predownloaded stuff on them (hell, our School policy probably PREVENTED us from downloading anything...) or you just used Chrome browser for everything. We definitely weren't allowed to use terminal either. The extensions store was blocked/didn't allow downloads.
Chromebooks aren't built for storage and performance, they're made for the cloud. So anything that you wouldn't encounter on Chrome/Google Drive means they have zero knowledge of it.
I think the last time I remember using tablets was like 2nd grade to do math games. But that could've changed.
You were also punished/heavily discouraged from using personal laptops instead of school issued Chromebooks, cause they wanted to ensure you had no issues completing work and that you weren't cheating on assignments and tests. So students were literally forced to use them.

So our IT guy sent a training memo for a task. Step 1, 2, 3, etc. The one step was go to folder /User, then go to folder yourusername.
A young guy emailed back " there is no folder called yourusername".
I explained to IT, some of these people have never navigated a folder structure and don't realize Yourfoldername is meant to be replaced with their own name.
Yea, but the entire rotation of pdf is from scanned pdfs that are rasterized anyway
if you're manipulating pdfs exported via a computer program I doubt you'd ever need to rotate them, but in that case qpdf etc are better

If you say it that way, then yes, even the nicest person will call you a cunt and fire you. If you ask questions, as a user, and showing patterns that support your thesis, this becomes a conversation, rather than a “do it that way”.
edit: People are not all knowing. Once you start asking the right questions, you’ll see that - “Ok, and what happens when the user presses this? And what happens if they delete that?” It’s obviously a very abstract example, but if their ideas can’t stand a single user test, then they shouldn’t be surprised if the feature flops.
As an autodidact xennial, I'll take that as a compliment.
DOS, Windows, all the format C:'s in my time, it's all been trial and error as you say, because there weren't really anything on the line in the 90s and early 00s.

As opposed to images on the internet... XD
If anything it would actually take more effort to replicate a physical stamp now that I think about it.
Yes. (not sure if you wanted it actually posted the GS way is kinda long) there are a good 10+ different tools to do it on command line though. Even imagemagick's "convert" command that does virtually every image format can also rotate a pdf. qpdf, pdftk are very popular too.
I actually found a thread that lists all the tools I did and even the "gs" command lol unix.stackexchange.com/questio…
Command line: How do you rotate a PDF file 90 degrees?
When I scan documents that are landscape-oriented, the output PDF files are portrait and so all the PDF viewers display the scanned documents in portrait. From the command line, how do you rotate a...Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
You have to set the quality to 100 and density to something high (150 or 300) because it'll set it to 72ppi and it also has to become before the input file name. It's like GS and wants virtually every parameter set by you and the defaults are like bare minimum it doesn't take them from the actual file.
That being said just use qpdf or pdftk lmao
You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you're doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can't be relying on you.
They shouldn't (and almost certainly don't) have delegation authority.

I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don't even know what to call it exactly.
The closest I've got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I've made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.
I don't have to deal with it anymore at least.
Tablets... in use at 2nd grade...
Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.
The Internet itself didn't even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.
Being "online" wasn't a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.
I could say more, but you've heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.
My younger brother will not flinch when talking about playing a first person game, (he says it for every game though) he will say a controller is superior.
Now I understand that there is a lot of wiggle room to debate the "best" input method, but I will die on the hill about a mouse being the best (and maybe best possible) input for look/aiming in a first person sense.
The left hand could use an analog input for sure, but digital movement is so rarely an issue it didn't matter a whole lot.
I will go as far as to throw him a bone and say that controllers are probably the best for something like a platformer (his genre of choice), or a racing game, or in some cases, 3rd person action. I will typically use Rocket League as an example of that, because that game is one of the few that analog movement is much, muuuch more important than analog camera control.
But keyboard and mouse is so widely usable for (and so often a clear front runner) that I have to dunk on him every time he shits on kb+m.
But then I think about my coming up learning and using computers, and our built in familiarity with kb+m, whereas these days, these scrubs are using touchscreens almost exclusively, and a keyboard just looks ancient right off the bat. And of course anything that "old people" use is definitely just totally obsolete and gross as soon as something else comes out.
So I give him consideration in that regard, but it saddens me that he won't think critically enough to understand the differences, and is not thinking about it. His brain is very literally saying "old way bad, new way good".
He's still too young, but damn the communication barrier is frustrating.
I'm not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I've never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I've ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.
So I've gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can't imagine why one would ever be sideways.
I learned that from the other reply
I see. I didn't think I ever heard about that. I'm only familiar with them as in a digital version of paperwork, not a digital copy of a document.
I understand exactly how that happens then.

Scanners like to do funny things
I know it's not very relevant, but that reminds me of a talk held during a CCC (Chaos Computer Club) convention.
It's in German, but I'll try to summarize it:
Someone noticed the numbers on a scanned page didn't match the original, so they hired an expert to find out what happened. Turns out that the printer they were using had a feature that would detect symbols that looked the same and basically copypasted ome cutout of the symbol onto the other to save space on the final PDF. Due to the print/copy quality, this substitution sometimes malfunctioned, substituting similar looking symbols, such as 8 and 0.
Set them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life.
🤣
I wasn't saying you shouldn't try, because you obviously should, i was just bitching about the difficulties I have in holding up the mirror.
The key concept they're missing a lot of the time is that software sits within the file system and not the other way around.
This is largely because apps hide this and data is generally stored in one place on your phone (the downloads folder).
Best way to fix it - have 1--2 lessons entirely devoted to finding shit on their computer. My favourite activity is "ok, save your word file, close word, you now have 10 mins to find that file without opening word".
Then they get a chromium based laptop because those were the most affordable ones they can get.
Appification was generalized and its not ppls fault for growing up in that environment, especially if their parents were not big into computers and couldn't tell the difference.
I was showing a co-op how to do something last year and told them to navigate through our department drive into whatever folder we were looking at.
They couldn't do it. They had somehow managed to get to the department drive in file explorer, but then completely fell apart when I narrated the names of the folders to go down into. Like I'd say "Go into 'desks and tables'" or whatever and I'd watch them drag their cursor past the Ds, past the Es, and then just click on something completely different. Like their brain just stopped working. It took us like 2 minutes to get less than 10 folders deep.
The challenges thst existed to use technology no longer exist, so there is no longer a reason to look under the hood for most people. It's like how a lot of generations after boomers don't know about how to change a tyre or spark plugs etc, cars got more reliable and industries created services to stop you needing to worry about that stuff.
As a kid I remember WANTING to play games with a friend on PC, he knew we needed a null modem cable and we went to pc shop 2 towns over got one and tried to figure out how to play together using it. Then when the Internet came out and we had to fight against Internet connection sharing so one computer could share Internet with friends pc. Trying to use no-cd patches just so we didn't need to keep grabbing cds to play games etc.
There were so many things you learnt back then but it was because we had no alternative, I get why tech knowledge has vanished and I don't blame them, they have had no need to solve the same problems and haven't grown with technology, it's been already established and they have had no need to concern themselves with it.
Problem is the working world still heavily needs PC skills and basic analytical ability so there needs to be more focus on those old "computer driving license" style courses so people can certify they know how to find a file and end task when something hangs.
