now that is truly idiotic
I don’t mind apps drawing their own titlebars if they have a real use for it (I’m typing this comment in a Firefox window where the titlebar has the tab bar in it), but not having any window-manager-level title bar as a fallback at all and requiring apps to do that themselves?! Window managers everywhere else have been doing this since what, the 1984 Apple Macintosh?
What now? GNOME doesn’t support server-side decorations? It’s been years since I last used GNOME, so I may be out of touch; but if this is true, what happens if you do run something on GNOME that simply doesn’t have any code that draws its own titlebars? Or am I misunderstanding how any of this works?
I sometimes do that too, but as it’s not a thing on Windows (which I’m forced to use at work), it’s not my default habit.
At least that way we’ll be able to tell when things are AI-generated.
of course, most of school was bullshit long before AI, so what
There are lobbyists for non-profits (that you can donate to if you agree with their goals) too.
Not really.
Lawmakers in a democracy can’t possibly be experts on all the fields they make laws about. Without any lobbyists at all, they wouldn’t know what kinds of laws any organizations (whether for-profit or not) would like to see passed. This would likely cause worse laws to be passed.
Ultimately lobbying is just (parts of) the population attempting to influence what happens in politics, which is what is supposed to happen in a democracy.
In some cases what you say may be true, but not in all.
The Internet depends on physical infrastructure like towers and cables, which can be shut off.
Satellite internet is the main way to access the Internet that cannot so easily be shut off because the infrastructure for that is in space, not the country’s borders. So this is why this news story exists for example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/01/12/kill-switch-iran-shuts-down-starlink-internet-for-first-time/
That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.
Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?
Yes. “First” is correct, “only” not anymore, if the above commenter is an AI chatbot, it should really update its training data.

How can a function like this exist without parameters for N and T?
ReactOS is mentioned in the article, it’s a somewhat different approach.
I mean you know that the Internet is nowadays instantaneous because accessing websites, instant messaging, online phone calls, etc. are instantaneous …
Email isn’t really intended to be used as an instant messaging system. A lot of the time, email clients are configured to only check for new emails periodically. Email servers might be configured to have some delay to avoid using too many resources at once. At least for me, emails (e.g. password reminder emails) do usually arrive within a few seconds, but indeed not always as immediately as instant messages.
wot? I thought compiz was fairly well known but maybe I haven’t kept up with what is or isn’t well known nowadays, been using Linux for too long :D

Agreed. This is a potential problem, but not an unsolvable one.
I’ve recently said this in another thread, and I’ll repeat it here: this problem would easily be solved by changing content liability laws (e.g. section 230 in the US) so that anything recommended by an algorithm counts as speech by the platform and the platform is liable for it if it turns out to be illegal (e.g. libellous).
That would mean that you could operate a forum or wiki or Lemmy or Mastodon instance without worrying about liability, but Facebook, YouTube, TikTok would have to get rid of the feature where they put “things that might interest you” that you didn’t actually choose to follow into your feed.
None of that has anything to do with anyone’s age.
This is probably supposed to be a link to this: https://torrentfreak.com/nvidia-contacted-annas-archive-to-secure-access-to-millions-of-pirated-books/
There are a few communities where that link was posted correctly: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53133358
