Which is why decentralised open source platforms are very important.

There was a reply from the official proton handle on mastodon doubling down on the Andy’s take.

Companies are going to shit more quickly these days

He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.

This exactly. We have to remember that the stricter moderation policies on several of the big tech social media platforms had got trump banned from them. At that time, trump was incensed with them and had promised retaliation. That was the only reason he was going against the big tech companies.

Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.

Exactly. Lina Khan bought several cases anti trust cases against big tech but they were thrown out by the republican biased courts. Hell republicans even tried to hound and harass khan over the cases she was bringing

Vance, the U.S. vice president-elect, has said antitrust officials should take a broader approach to antitrust enforcement, and praised the work of Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan

Reading this confuses me greatly because republicans, especially Jim Jordan from what I remember, have been harassing and preventing Lina Khan and the FTC from taking action against big corporations.

Hell if she is doing such a great job, why fire her and replace her with a snake whose views are the antitheses of Khan’s outlook.

This was common in budget laptops 10 years ago. I had a Asus laptop with the same resolution and I have seen others with this resolution as well

My suspicion is that there’s some kind of extra data being pushed over the HDMI, since the Smart Board is more than just a monitor

Yeah I have similar suspicions. Maybe some non standard HDMI protocols or extensions are at play. After all it is a patented, closed source protocol. Standard monitors and TVs (smart or otherwise) connect without any issue.

I would start by asking in the ublue Discord. There may be an easy fix, or they may direct you to the project where you should file a bug report.

Thanks for the advice. I will start with this.

Dude what the fuck. That is scary. And here I am trying to somehow convince my friends to join signal.

By the way which state do you live in¿?

It’s true Indian government has banned Element and other Apps and forced Signal, WhatsApp and other such apps to have a local representative so that they can arrest someone and force their will.

Wait what! When did this happen. I live in India and just saw the element app on the play store.

They started going through chats on traffic stops, but there are ways to avoid that also

I have also yet to see this but then again this seems like something the conservative (read authoritarian) government could do

So from some of your comments, it seems that by sharpness, you are referring to the sharpness of text in gnome on high resolution displays (4k in your case) when compared to macos or windows. Well in my experience, text rendering in Linux hasn’t been as good as the macos or windows but it has been improving steadily. If I remember correctly, the differences lie in the anti aliasing done to text to make them sharper. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Also maybe edit your post to mention that the high quality you are talking about is the sharpness of font rendering.

That is one solution lmao

Hey are you still facing this issue. I also faced this twice on fedora 41 silverblue but it seems to have resolved itself after some updates

This is not a malfunctioning hardware thing. I faced the same issue for a few days on silverblue, where my 2 year old zen3 laptop would slow down to a crawl and eventually the gnome-shell would freeze. Somehow it resolved itself somewhere between kernel and gnome-shell + mutter updates

Dude UI (and anything to do with looks) is always a subjective thing. Some people will like it and some people will hate it. I know every dev wants their UI to be loved by everyone but that’s a fools errand as there are always people with opposing opinions. What matters is that that you like what you have created. Also know that there are people like me and many others who use photon daily and love the design. Don’t let subjective opinions get you down.

Between this comment about arch and the other comment about opensuse, it must only be apt which has issues with large updates with complicated dependency chains. I remember 5-6 years ago Ubuntu borking itself when I tried to update after a decent gap and had 100+ packages to update. There is also the fact that people used to advice me to make a clean install in lieu of updating whenever a new version of Ubuntu dropped.

Well in an immutable distro, there is little to no chance for the system to end up in an unusable state (I guess it is the same for distros which apply the updates atomically). Traditional distros are far more likely to bork when so much shit is updated at once

Damn. You have my respect.
