@KinmenRisingProject Mi e' successa una cosa simile con SoundCloud e altri servizi che considerano sospette le email self-hosted.

Proverei a cereare un account con un account gmail, da un IP dialup normale (no VPN / TOR) e senza plugins che bloccano i cookies.

Ho contattato il supporto di Steam solo una volta, ma avevo gia' un account. Ho chiesto come mai non ho ricevuto la chiave per la copia gratuita di Alyx con il Valve Index, e mi hanno risposto in poche ore, risolvendo il problema.

"Gitter is being acquired by Element and will become part of the bigger Matrix ecosystem."

I wan to see #Matrix succeed, and I sincerely hope the UI designers of #Gitter help #Element de-clutter their web UI!

@globalc @benoit Sorry guys for talking incessantly yesterday...

The prolonged social isolation is exacerbating m preexisting logorrhea 😅

@globalc @benoit I have pain in the calves only when I bend my legs. But the backpain is gone, so now I can bend down instead! 😃

@benoit @fribbledom Ah! Apparently #systemd 247 will integrate oomd, an alternative to earlyoom developed by Facebook:

I wonder if Fedora will migrate to it? Probably...

@benoit @fribbledom earlyoom is enabled by default since #Fedora 32:

I also have it on my #ArchLinux desktop.

@comrad There's nothing wrong with Microsoft trying to catch up with Linux for sysadmins and developers. But how would it be received if they told all users to go to the shell to update their systems?

@metnix @Fabimaru Maple syrup + tomato sauce? 🤢🍁

...and how about Sbarro, with it's signature pizza stuffed with pasta? 🤮🤮🤮

@Fabimaru

@Fabimaru Domino's is not even the worst pizza chain I've seen in the US.

How about: Famiglia? 🤮🤮

@landel @globalc I'm ok to learn how it works, but I feel bad for the desktop end-users who don't know what's a filesystem and a snapshot, and will have to reinstall the OS when it's in this state.

I heard that #Fedora's dnf5 will drop PackageKit support:

Good. 'cause it sucked royally.

But will GUI updaters support dnf's new dbus protocol? And will other distros also implement this interface?

...or are we going to see 5 more years of painful interop issues?

I'm afraid to find out... 😔

Friends who use GNOME tell me "why can't you just use the shell?"

Answer: because it will _never_ be the year of Linux on the desktop if we can't even get a friggin' GUI updater to work. Come on, even Microsoft could get this right!

Discover still very buggy, but it seems that #GNOME Software is even worse. Every time I try it out, it hangs or fails in a different way 😩

Ah, finally this annoying bug in #Plasma Discover was fixed:

My Italian friend who lives in Paris is saying that 1kg of cheese is a fondue for 5 people.
