The hope is that social pressure will encourage more and more companies to participate.

Oof. Yeah, nah... Capitalism doesn't work that way, and if by some miracle it did, the rug would get pulled sooner than later. Most businesses don't even pay their employees fairly, and you expect an optional expense to be sustainable?

Paying for software or software support is a genuine hurdle:

1. Ads
2. Sell user data
3. Subscription fee
4. Donations

Article ultimately focuses on 4 wanting to make it a social norm. I think this is wishful thinking. Businesses need hard legal or financial incentives to do anything. Adding a (stronger) tax break could work, but now you've added complexity to the tax code which means more loopholes. Suddenly paying for android is "teeeechnically" open source and you get abuse.

Seems like this is a solvable problem though.

according to NASA:

Figure A: In this enhanced-color version of the mosaic, the color bands of the image have been processed to improve visual contrast and accentuate color differences.

I believe the top image on that page is natural color.

If you look at nasa's pages about this site (mount Washburn), the word "blue" never comes up. In fact they were more interested in a single white boulder that stood out to them. Another page for example.

As a Brit I was watching the storm coverage in the USA yesterday and marveling at the number of locations named after European towns, and chuckling at the lack of imagination of the early immigrants.

Composed of 18 images, this natural-color mosaic shows a boulder field on "Mount Washburn" (named after a mountain in Wyoming) in Mars' Jezero Crater. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles near the center of the mosaic. "Atoko Point" (after a feature in the eastern Grand Canyon). The images were acquired by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover on May 27, 2024, the 1,162nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission

But it turns out nothings really changed on the naming front.. however I've never had to name a place so I can't really claim I'd be any better!

Many of you use PWA's on Linux already? If so which ones?

(I'm using lemmy via Voyager PWA right now on mobile)

I do know you can download Ubuntu's theming/color scheme on most Distros, including Debian. And if you like the logo, you can tell Fastfetch to show any logo/image, and branding is often a simple check on Plymouth/related configs.

Debian is what I use when I need Ubuntu-tier support.

I greatly prefer Debian and run it on my home servers, but I want something more cutting edge than Debian for my work PCs but not quite as bleeding edge as Arch that I have to pay more attention to for my daily updates in case it breaks. I kind of end stuck at Ubuntu as I don't want something obscure and harder for me to fix due to a smaller user base to crib solutions to common problems from.

I just use it as a relatively up to date, tested and supported base as I run Sway instead of the packaged Gnome, I disable snaps and all the other Ubuntu pro type garbage, even my Firefox is via PPA. Could I roll my own or use something else? Sure, but would I have the same trust over its reliability on the PCs that I use to pay my bills?

more cutting edge than Debian

In what aspect? How about Debian Unstable?

I'm personally on Stable but I do also have some AppImages (and recently discovered AM github.com/ivan-hc/AM thanks to someone here), my own ~/bin directory and quite a few tools. I feel that there are very few things from an end-user standpoint that needs to done only through the distribution package manager. I believe having a stable OS but "cutting edge" specific apps (say Cura, Blender, etc) is a good compromise. As you mention Firefox over a PPA (which is also have I have) is such a good compromise. So I'm curious (genuinely, not trying to "convert" you to Debian on desktop) what is better on that front on Ubuntu rather than Debian.

Edit: to clarify I both pay my bills (literally, and work too) and play (including recent VR Windows only games) on my Debian stable on desktop.

I moved from Kubuntu to Tumbleweed and really like it. For some reason I really don't like RPMs and that caused some hesitancy when I thought of switching, but really I never deal with RPMs directly. Zypper is ok and I've made peace with Flatpak. I update the whole distro every weekend and I've tested out reverting using Snapper.

In the year and a half of using it I can think of two problems I had from updating - one is fixed by removing the GPUCache directory of an Electron app when Mesa gets updated, the other is with Zoom which I mostly fixed by moving to the Flatpak version.

@linux_gaming In particular when trying to run games in Japanese I've had to manually download windows fonts and place them in the right location for text to display properly.

Here's the guide I used to fix this: learnjapanese.moe/vn-linux/#fo…

First of all, yes it's a hentai game. You can believe it's ~~for~~ my girlfriend or not.

No judgement bud. Nothing to add but a bit of cheekyness.
