I’m glad Fedora has GNOME as default. The KDE spin appears to be well-maintained enough for those interested to enjoy it.
WebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.
Huawei’s doing great. Plus, there’s a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
GNOME for sure
Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh
Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages
Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.
Well, that’s for you to decide.
That’s super smart!
I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?
Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase
How to steal something you can’t own? Instructions unclear /s
As an Android user, Android phones with Google Play Services are no better - in fact I’d say they’re probably worse

MuPDF comes by default on CalyxOS, and is what I use.
FYI, the Pixel 8’s processor is certainly less efficient than the S23’s. If it is reportedly getting better battery life, that’s likely software related.
I see a lot of Framework recommendations, and I had the 12th gen Framework for around a year running Fedora. I faced a bunch of excessive power use issues, and had to add some kernel flags just to get maybe 4 hours of battery life. The device is notoriously repairable, but the one thing that conked out on me was actually the mainboard, which was like the price of a new device. Support spent two weeks trying to find out if it was anything else before sending me a replacement mainboard.
My friend recently got a Zenbook 14 OLED with the same processor. The entire device was $200 cheaper lightly used than the Frameworks mainboard alone, and the only issue is the speakers don’t work. That being said, he gets almost double my battery life, and a 90hz OLED screen on top of it all. Plus more ports; even with Framework’s modular add-in cards I don’t feel it is as flexible a system as having >4 useful ports.
My time with the Framework was great, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Getting something secondhand is an environmentally conscious option, and you can get great stuff secondhand.
