I think it’s just funny that she’s not painting a model, or a still life, but what she’s seeing through the peeping hole - and that there’s a bunch of dangerous-looking folks outside the door.

Those damn lazy parents not teaching their children how to spell boobies on calculators are ruining our society!

Mirko Brombin, the creator of Bottles

And also of the Singularity desktop environment, and behind cpak and Vanilla OS. Even with AI I don’t see where he gets the time and relevant knowledge, and I really wonder how buggy these are. I haven’t tried them though, and Bottles seems stable enough.

Nice work!

Hi ancient fuuuuuuuuck, I’m dad.

Never.

(Figured I’d answer since I’d usually only be compelled to answer if I was a yes.)

In my defence though, I am the most important person in the room.

Temporary Containers is a bit clunky, but it achieves the same goal using native Firefox mechanisms, so I assume that it works for ETP Strict too.

Ah crap you got me, I don’t even remember the British term anymore.

Possibly that’s related to me not knowing the term in the first place, because we don’t use British English here either. Or any English, for that matter.

Who knows! If it’s a stepping stone, then actual growth would trail it.

Yeah exactly, we can only speculate, rather than claiming definitively that it’s one or the other.

(I do think that, if Linux was the more popular option, and folks would notice that most of the things they’re running under Wine, that would remove one reason for them not to switch to Windows. But yes, it will also be reason for others to stay on Linux.)

Growing on Windows 11 is not helping promote freedom from proprietary software

I mean, it might. It could very well be a stepping stone to full Linux.

Gottem.

Yeah I know, I’d much sooner trust those numbers - but those are pretty good numbers! Desktop only of course, but still!

People should stop posting StatCounter, it’s so unreliable and noisy.

But I am surprised by the Cloudflare numbers, which are a lot more reliable, and still have Linux at ~5% worldwide, which is still higher than I thought! And even ~6.5% for the past two months, though I imagine that’s a seasonality effect - maybe Linux users in the northern hemisphere are more likely to use their computers at home during summer? :P

Well, at least we know we can still go on Lemmy for human interaction - appreciate the effort put into the drawing.

“How can that be empty? I never even use it!”

Random unsolicited feedback from a reader without specific comic expertise:

This is nice work @jrahmatzadeh@blogs.gnome.org, and if there’s a recommended template for new extensions, it should probably include an AGENTS.MD with this, or at least with a pointer to this.

I don’t get what the problem is with writing code that works on multiple GNOME shell versions at once though, rather than individual ports for every version. The former feels like it could make maintenance a lot easier if an extension developer wants to support multiple GNOME versions?

Edit: I see that there’s gnome-extensions create --interactive that can create a skeleton extension from a template. That would be the perfect place for this, probably.
