American here, so probably ignorant AF, but how wet are your teabags exactly? Everyone I've ever seen make tea does exactly that: pull it out of the water, smash it with a spoon against the cup rim to squeeze water out, toss it in the trash. It's barely more than damp after that.

Are the tea bags there so very different from ours that there's enough water retained in them that it risks making your trash can soggy?

(Tone here is meant to be curious, not confrontational; honestly wondering!)

Objections to AI are well known and widespread, especially in creative communities. Asking for them to be listed out in detail yet again amounts to little more than sealioning at this point. Stop feigning ignorance; you had to know that recommending AI slop in a community founded on appreciation for human art would get a negative reception.

Isn't that trivially simple to address though? Just add :z to the end of the mount value string, and restart the container.

I worry that approach would increase feelings of entitlement from people who don't understand the process and effort involved with development.

It systemizes the notion of "I paid you to do X, where is it?", a perspective which some annoying people already have even without giving anyone money.

Additionally, how do you determine how much payment a feature is worth?

What if the community is split about the direction of a project, and there happens to be two "pay for high priority" demands that conflict with each other? Who gets their feature that they paid for?

I also think that the people actually working on a project should be the ones setting the direction and priorities for it, not whoever has a big enough purse. We don't need to replicate corporate models that deny developer autonomy.

Humans also carry diseases and destroy the landscape and each other. By your logic, we shouldn't care about anyone dying, or try to empathize with anything outside of ourselves. Seems like a sad perspective, IMO.

I'm not sure that's a valid assumption in this specific case. The immediate drama around the way donations were requested could have prevented a lot of donations from occurring.

Volatility isn't exactly conducive to getting support, so it's hard to tell how many people would have happily supported the project if things had shaken out differently. The developer quitting angrily a day after asking for financial help, for example. Seems like people might wonder why they need to give money to someone who has already quit, even if none of the other kerfuffle had taken place.

Same reason why there are so many text editors that all do basically the same thing, I suppose. More options are not a bad idea, IMO. Maybe they'll do something different and interesting.

This is cool! I'm almost more interested in the underline gaps for descenders that got snuck in as a "oh yeah I did this too" feature. That makes underlined text so much easier to read, IMO.

I mean ... magic like in Pokemon

This would have been good context to include in your original post. How the heck is everyone else supposed to know that this is what you were asking about?

Also, you might get more of the answers you're looking for if you ask in a Pokémon community instead.

Using RPMs through a frontend like Discover or Gnome Software can sometimes have unintended side effects that are much more easily anticipated when using dnf.

Just the other day, I uninstalled something through Gnome Software that was an RPM, and it also removed fuse-fs packages, breaking all of my appimage stuff until I manually installed fuse again.

This doesn't ever happen with Flatpak in my experience, though I could just be lucky. It makes some sense to limit the destruction potential for less technical frontend installers like Gnome Software and leave the RPMs to something else like dnf. Though, I do really enjoy being able to open a manually downloaded RPM in a nice GUI to install it.

It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it's far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

an application that adjusts the computer display's color temperature based upon the time of day.

It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.

It's totally possible to build a new network of great friends at literally any point in your life! I have moved multiple times over the years to entirely different regions where I knew zero people and I have always eventually found new friends. (I'm also autistic and introverted, so if I can do it, most people probably can.)

Sometimes it might take a while to find the activities you like, and thus the people who share your interests, but they're out there! If nothing else, it helps to start going on a regular basis to a local bar that hosts live music and just nurse a drink (even a soda if you're sober) and hang out, you'll start sussing out the social fabric in the area pretty quick.

Good luck, you can do it!
