sorry I was really busy this week, didnt have time to look into this.

The issue seems to happen in qt6 xcb so you could try switching sddm to run on wayland, which might bypass the issue (from Arch wiki):

Create the file /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf with the following content:

[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts --locale1

This requires layer-shell-qt to be installed, preferably versions 6.x which kde neon probably has in their repos (its on 5.x on base ubuntu).

Other than that, on sddm’s issue repo I found two similar issues: #1761 and #1468, though both have no resolutions yet.

Effects’ settings are being completely reworked: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/7473

I think you can disable the new header bar in VSCode (iirc from View).

Thanks! Definitely reading this one now though its kinda long. I had heard about it but didn’t see anyone put it this way before.

Not sure tbh but probably anything around the time you experience the issue. Check the time when the issue occurs, then look at the logs from around that time for any errors warnings. That should at least give you a clue.

Exactly this with me too. If they know me I have to hold myself to different standards and more small talk and stuff like that.

I have been trying to force myself to go to the same places but I usually fail. The only thing that works for me is going with someone else.

How are you supposed to deal with this without just losing all your values and becoming like them?

Are there any books or anything that someone can read on this?

Having a constant noise in your head/ears. It was so normal to me I didnt question it for many years. I randomly asked my friends about it one day and found out most people actually dont have an old crt tv like noise in their ears (and that its the disorder tinnitus).

In my case its not very severe thankfully, I dont notice it unless Im in a silent room or Im actively thinking about it.

you should also post it as an issue on the peertube repo: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?

Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

Impressive work, thanks!

I wonder whats the catch. I have a hard time accepting some company would provide such a service for free no limits (unless its a non-profit run through donations or similar).

which gen is your igpu? Older intel igpus need libva-intel-driver pkg installed (on Arch, not sure whats the Fedora equivalent) and the env variable LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME set to i965.

Thanks must have been part of the progressive rollout thing, I dont remember seeing it before.

Vertical tabs, tab groups, pwa apps, easier profiles switching (some of these are coming soon). Firefox is finally covering its weak points versus chrome.

I thought vertical tabs also landed this release. I can find them in the settings but I dont see it in these release notes. Did they land in an earlier release or smth?

Something like lemmy gold but with public names? /hj

I think piefeds combined view makes this less of an issue. Like people subscribe to/post in the big communities because they are more active so get more comments and stuff. But in piefed you get the combined discussion from all the communities so you get the same experience even if you are subscribed to a less popular community on that topic.

I dont think its the software* but the instance that matters. Everyone being on lw is not good (not that there is anything wrong with lw, just that centralization is bad). Thankfully most lemmy apps nowadays default to lemm.ee which should hopefully counter most of the centralization. Lemmy apps should rotate the default server when it gets too big which will help a lot (also shows the impact defaults have).

*Software would have mattered if the main devs instance was also the biggest. Or a very popular lemmy client defaulted to their own instance. With lemmy thats not the case.

Subreddits were not a problem before since they were accessible on the web without needing an account. But now reddit is gradually locking them down behind authwalls and things like not letting search engines index (other than Google).

Lemmy communities dont have this problem and because lemmy is federated, its resistant to such enshittification (plus you can easily create your own lemmy instance for only your team). So imo they are a good alternative to forums (and reddit) and a good solution to this problem.
