Zorin OS 16.3 is our first version that comes pre-installed with the new Zorin OS Upgrader. This is the feature our community has requested most throughout the years.

Zorin OS 16.3 is powered by the same version of the Linux kernel as in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GA). It comes with updated drivers, bringing even better compatibility with more hardware. That includes support for newer components like NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070, 4060 Ti, and 4060 graphics cards out of the box.

Not a bad idea... would be pretty cool and phtn.app is much more accessible than photon.xylight.dev.

I guess a related question is what is your vision for how users would typically use Photon. Do you want to host a single/main application that many users end up using or would you rather have instances (or individuals) deploy their own applications (ie. nu.lemdro.id)? or possibly both?

If the former, then phtn.app makes sense. Otherwise, just photon.xylight.dev is fine since it would sort of encourage others to deploy their own.

Another thought: if you follow through on making Photon into a PWA, then phtn.app would probably fit into that branding, more so than photon.xylight.dev.

 

Depthboot is a builder script that creates a bootable USB drive/SD-card that can be booted on any x86_64 Chromebook. It supports common Linux distributions(Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora) and a variety of the most popular desktop environments. Due to licensing restraints, Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be build locally.

Anyone have experiences with this?

My friend has deployed Phorge for himself and appears to be happy with it.

Not sure about studio quality, but for video conferencing and doing some Twitch streams, I've being using a Blue Yeti Nano USB microphone for a few years (since COVID) with no issues on Linux.

An alternative to making a shell script is to make an alias or a function instead. That way, it runs in your current shell session and you can access the history command.

Additionally, you could always dump the output of the history command outside the shell script and then run the shell script on that file after you have dumped it.

I think the issue is that history is a shell built-in and not an actual program (ie. external command) and it typically only works in an interactive shell session.

A workaround could be to access the $HISTFILE directly:

{cat $HISTFILE | grep ...

Of course, you can use also just do:

{grep -e ... $HISTFILE | ...}

if you are opposed to the cat at the beginning.

With all the recent fixes and features, Photon is now my default lemmy client :]

Thanks to @Xylight for starting this project and being so responsive on GitHub (I'm @pbui).

 

A Texas A&M University professor was suspended, investigated and ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing for allegedly criticizing Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick during a lecture about the opioid crisis. The probe has free speech advocates concerned about political influence over academia in Texas.

It's unfortunate, but the reality is that many of the proprietary services are... free, convenient, and where the people are.

Most projects do not have a lot of funding, so it makes sense to use low cost platforms with the least amount of friction. I think most developers are aware of the risks and trade-offs, but make a pragmatic decision to use these proprietary services b/c the benefits for them outweigh the costs.

Nothing specific in mind, just wanted to get a general sense of how the work is progressing. Thanks for sharing your experience!

COSMIC is looking great! Do you have any comments about the state of the widgets and how those are working?

Alternative to lemmy by tedu of OpenBSD fame. It uses ActivityPub and is actually compatible with lemmy. Here is an example instance:

Same for me (also Firefox for Android).

Pop is not using Wayland yet ... the current GNOME based DE still uses Xorg. COSMIC, however, will use Wayland.

 

In reaction to the recent announcements by RedHat, AlmaLinux is shifting focuses slightly:

We will continue to aim to produce an enterprise-grade, long-term distribution of Linux that is aligned and ABI compatible with RHEL in response to our community’s needs, to the extent it is possible to do, and such that software that runs on RHEL will run the same on AlmaLinux.

That is, instead of "1:1" bug compatibility, they will aim to be ABI compatible.

Ok, good to know that it isn't just me.

 

I am using Firefox (115) and I am missing the favicon in the tab for lemmy.world. The favicon appears in the bookmarks window, but not in tab for the website.

I've tried to clear the cache and reloading the page, but the favicon still does not appear in Firefox. It does appear, however, when using Chrome. Likewise, other instances such as lemmy.one and programming.dev also work in Firefox (as shown in the screenshot), so this appears to be specific to lemmy.world's favicon.

This isn't a big deal, but I was wondering if anyone else using Firefox experiencing this issue?

Wayland on Budgie (blog.buddiesofbudgie.org)
 

The Budgie project plans on soft forking mutter in the short term to implement Wayland support in Budgie 10, but will look into developing their own wlroots based compositor called Magpie as a long term solution.
