It isn’t any of my business whether other people use light themes… but IMHO dark themes are just so much easier on the eyes, no matter the surrounding light, that I don’t get why anyone would if they have the option.


In my mind it’s weird to use any light theme at all now that dark themes are widely available, but if you are going to, this isn’t any weirder than any other.
Another disadvantage it seems to have over many other themes is that in tabbed interfaces there is no color bar on the currently active tab, so you can’t spot the currently active tab as quickly.


It’s an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.


and yet it is still a legally unsettled question whether LLM training requires a copyright license at all; and it is my opinion that no one should want that to be the case, why would people on the Internet want to argue for an expansion of copyright law?


What does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.


Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.
The FSF has a page dedicated to this exact question: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.en


Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn’t even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?


such organizations already exist, e.g. Software in the Public Interest (most well known for hosting Debian)


I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare’s error messages are actually accurate in that regard.


It reminds me more of the AWS outage last month.
It’s probably not half of the Internet, but the fact that it’s so many very visible sites should be a warning sign to everyone that the Internet is nowadays too reliant on a few points of failure (which can cause other problems, e.g. censorship).


both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are working for me right now? Maybe they’ve come back up.
likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?
Not sure what exactly you’re asking.


When I read things like this, I struggle to understand the economic logic behind it.
How much money does Microsoft really expect to get from more people using Edge instead of Chrome? I mean, both of them are provided free of charge anyway. Does the control over the default search engine or the advertising technology or something like that really bring them more money than these “rewards” cost?


KDE uses “meta” to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses “meta” to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key “Super”.
This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don’t want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys “Super” and “Alt”, those are unambiguous.


I think I may have written that, but that was when all that was being talked about was allowing services to scan voluntarily. There was no mention of “all appropriate risk mitigation measures” when I wrote that.


Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.


The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.
If you come up with one, I might start to use it. I generally like the classic Windows style because the first computer interfaces I ever used looked like that, but nowadays I definitely insist on dark mode.
