Here’s another one.

No, it does not. Or rather the central server, which everyone uses, is not federated. The server code supports federation, or it used to (not sure it’s still in there), but it is effectively useless since you can’t federate with the one server with the userbase. If you want federation (and you should), use Matrix.

Not sure how slashdot expects me to

when someone already expressed my choice like you did and I have no mod points, so here’s a +1 comment for Matrix.

I’d be curious to know the details of your fight. I have been using Dvorak for the last 10+ years and it hasn’t been much of an issue for me. My desktop environment offers Dvorak in the list of available layouts, so it’s just as easy as setting QWERTY (or even AZERTY since I am in France) as your choice. In the rare occasion where someone wants to use my computer, I can either use the current layout as an excuse to do the task myself (which is usually faster anyway), or I can temporarily add a second layout in a matter of seconds.

It’s only been 16 years (18 if you count the Galeon years, since Epiphany/GNOME Web is a fork of it).

That’s bullshit. That reddit thread takes data on a short period of time and doesn’t take the whole picture into consideration. The GNOME Foundation never diverted money from its budget to spend it on OPW. All expenses had matching income (+ a commission for administrative fees), but they may not show up in the report for the same year. Take the annual reports for 2011—2017 and you’ll be able to see it.

The issue that OPW created for GNOME and that started this rumour was cash flow, because sponsors took too much time to pay their invoices and GNOME ended up fronting the stipends for interns.

Parent should be moded down because it is the opposite of “informative”.

He’s best know for his work on Samba, and for pushing for some notable software (like Cygwin and XFS) to be released under the GPL.

The GNOME Foundation was never bankrupt.

Clock can be switched on/off, just like app menu and Activity. You’re right about the other two though.

Fair enough. Maybe raise the issue to the extension maintainer?

Seems to work exactly the same on both screens for me here.

What exactly makes a terminal application the default one? It’s not like the default video player that will open when you double click on a video file, or your default office suite. Installing another terminal application makes it appear alongside the previous one. What more do you need?

That’s a bit of an empty statement and can’t be addressed if you don’t elaborate on what’s wrong or why it’s wrong.

It should work. Maybe you hit a bug? Worth checking if it’s been reported and file a new one if that’s not the case.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about here. Do you have an example of something you searched, where you searched for it and what a relevant result on your system would have been?

If XFCE makes you happy, that’s good.

You can read all about them in the release notes. Probably a better choice than an article that picked their favourite ones from there.

(Most) distributions don’t make any decision regarding your choice of desktop environment. You can e.g. run KDE or GNOME or XFCE or something else on Ubuntu, as well as Fedora, or openSUSE. The correct question would have been since when did the version of the desktop environment become a distribution decision, which boils down to the version of software being a distribution decision, and the answer would be forever. It has been precisely the job of distributions to carefully select compatible versions of a set of software pieces since distributions were a thing.

Mind you, for desktop applications you could switch away from the distribution packages to something like flatpak and have the newest GNOME applications as soon as GNOME releases them. This is precisely what it’s about, shifting the balance of software delivery back towards the ones who make the software.

I use Multi Monitors Add-On which has this feature.

Nobody would have had to look it up if TFS linked to the original release notes.

By booking more than half, they effectively also booked half. These 45 booked seats are included within the set of 50 booked sits. Are you the one who maybe skipped math class?
