  • In this case it’s more of a switch away from the last cool new thing. Totem (like Music) was built around a media library navigated from within the app. By default Totem doesn’t even support opening videos from the file manager, which is something you would probably expect of a video player. It also crashed for me when I tried using it as intended so I’m not surprised to see it replaced by an app that really is just a video player.

    That said many apps get replaced not for feature reasons but just by being GTK3, and they tend to get replaced by their own forks to GTK4 (such as the upcoming replacement of Evince). Why their devs choose to upgrade toolkits this way I cannot say.



  • It’s prettier than a TTY and you can pick whether you want a Wayland or an X11 session without having to know the correct startup commands. You can pick between different desktops too. And a Display Manager can offer on-screen keyboard and touchscreen support while a TTY can’t (at least GDM does, I’m not sure about SDDM off the top of my head).

    Aside from that whatever command you are using in the TTY to launch Plasma might or might not be the same commands SDDM uses, which might or might not lead to issues in setting up the environment. If your environment is fine and you don’t care about having to use a physical keyboard then of course you can remove it. It’s not exactly load bearing.

    GUIs do have advantages in things like discoverability. Honestly the 1983s Apple Lisa nailed this with the idea of having clickable menus annotated with keyboard shortcuts, so users could do the same thing faster next time. For some reason we stopped doing this (especially in web apps), but that’s a reason to make better GUIs, not to RETVRN to the feature set of a VT100.

    I don’t know why we have to go on nonsensical diatribes about “UNIX wizards” though when we’re fundamentally talking about a handful of minor UI improvements to things that already exist.


  • To be fair that’s not the entire story, since you need to actually resolve the conflicts first, which is slightly scary since your worktree will be broken while you do it and your Linter will be shouting at you.

    You may also want a dedicated merge tool that warns you before accidentally commiting a conflict and creating a broken commit.

    Oh and non trivial resolutions may or may not create an evil merge which may or may not be desirable depending on which subset of git automation features you use.

    Using git status often is definitely good advice though.


  • I’m running KDE Plasma with the revived Krohnkite for auto tiling. Plasma 6.2 seems to have fixed most of the bugs from 6.0 and 6.1, at least the ones I’ve noticed.

    I was using Sway/SwayFX for a few months but was missing some KDE Gear apps like Dolphin and Okular which I couldn’t get to display correctly. KDE is afaik the only desktop with a working Qt theming engine right now, so I can’t really see myself switching (unless maybe if they break Krohnkite again).

    If your build fails because you can’t track down the literal in the code I would recommend just looking at the compiler error. I understand the concerns about == vs = more but the vast majority of LSPs (and some compilers) will catch that too.

    I have also yet to see any IDE enable ligatures by default, at least VS Code and the JetBrains suite both require opting into them even though their default fonts support them.




  • Does your script fork at some point (and might exit before the rsync job is completed)? Because then you need to use Type=forking instead of simple or oneshot, otherwise systemd will start trying to clean up child processes when the script exits.

    Edit: Actually considering the time span involved Type=forking will not solve your issue because it will timeout, if this is the problem you need to change your script to not do that.


  • Also ich bin mit dem Lebenswerk von Feddersen nicht im Geringsten vertraut aber dieser Satz aus dem Artikel:

    Was sie stattdessen liefert, ist ein Kampf um Symboliken. Für das Recht auf die Identität als Nonbinäre des Geschlechtlichen, für Transfluidität, damit im Übrigen in Allianz mit dem medizinisch-pharmakologischen Komplex, der seine chirurgischen und chemischen Manipulationsmöglichkeiten begründet sehen wollte

    ist schon irgendwie arg disqualifizierend. Das ist ungefähr die Ebene von den Leuten, die noch klug genug sind, nicht explizit von Bill Gates Mikrochips zu reden, und stattdessen bei jeder passenden und unpassenden Gelegenheit die Zeit finden, um auf die Möglichkeit von Impfschäden und finanzielle Interessen von Pfizer & Co. hinzuweisen. Nur halt für die Gesundheitsversorgung von Transmenschen statt für die von von COVID Gefährdeten.
