Your local library? Mine has a bulletin board where anyone can pin something (like Pinterest, but in real life) and numerous events. If yours doesn't, start one?

Alternatively if you're interested in paying, YouTube Music has a subscription option, or YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music.

On the hand at one point the emulation layer becomes the target. Hopefully game developers will realise this and start using native Linux technologies before they are tied to a single companies abstraction layer. Again.

tomstockmail — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 14:39:10 +0000

As I understand it from reading the original post, they are leaving the third party apps default icon. They're not overiding with monochrome icons. Bad title by a probable AI rewrite, please read the original KDE blog post linked elsewhere in the thread.

This is KDE's decision on their Breeze theme. Distributions can ship the icon set with third party icons if they want.

Couldn't imagine what Mozilla would be like today if he stayed around and tried to integrate crypto. At the end of the day, main post shows Firefox engineering is keeping up with Chrome which is a feat no other browser has accomplished.

I present the evidence of Family Guy episode _Fifteen Minutes of Shame_ airdate April 25, 2000 which had a Bob Ross bit. Bob Ross was part of the cultural zeitgeist long before the 2010s Internet memes. That has brought a new generation to him, but that's just bringing GenZ in line with the others.

That instance was from one of the mods, they posted about it here on HN a couple days ago too. They got roasted hard on r/3dprinting, but it's "official" as it can be. Personally moving to an instance that doesn't involve the mods (of any subreddit) is a benefit.

The 3dprinting communities on other Lemmy instances are plenty active though.
