you don’t need my permission mate, I honestly don’t know why I have earned your derision??

I thought so, and its not something Ublue has started using yet to my knowledge - there’s some good potential that a lot of stuff they add could just become a set of extensions you can plug in like Lego bricks

I’ve never had issues with Discover on Fedora KDE and then even when I moved to Kinoite. I didnt have any issues using it on my Bazzite machine. I wanted it back, I also wanted to see if it was something I could do with a SysExt, which as I said is something I’m excited about, as I have started using them to add stuff on my Kinoite work machine.

It doesn’t take Bazaar away, it just puts the items back for anyone who wants it. Spoiled for choice

Yes I use Kinoite as my work machine and I’ve used Tim Ravier’s sysext repo for adding libvirtd, distrobox, wireshark and vscode to that machine. I also authored my own that adds nmap, iperf, telnet, screen and a few other command line tools I make use of at work. I find this easier than juggling toolboxes for it

I also said ublue is free to do what they want, why are you attacking me for suggesting I want to put something back the way it was? I never asked for your attention, I’m not pestering the developers about it, instead I attempted to author a fix for anyone who also is not a fan of the change.

Yes, I dont like a core system tool not being part of my desktop, I dont want my updates to fire via a timer, and I have updated my ostree via discover on my bazzite box. I understand a lot of your target audience does want those things, an appliance type experience - I even suggested 2 posts up that perhaps bazzite was no longer for me as the target audience.

I appologise for drawing your ire

edit: FYI I’m not some bad faith poster, having defended bazaar - Also my particular bazzite box has been rebased between Fedora and Aurora, probably accumulated some artifacts in the process, which may explain why my discover had not been previously hobbled. Have a good night

the ublue project / bazzite decided to make their own flatpak first app store called Bazaar. Fair enough its their distro. However they created it with GTK4/Adwaita libraries, so its a Gnome native app and looks completely ugly on a KDE Plasma desktop. Also as a flatpak first app store it doesn’t update anything else on your machine like what discover is capable of (cant update ostree, knew stuff etc). This means you have to use the ujust terminal app to access updates, which I dont agree with.

I think technically you could layer it back in with rpm-ostree install kdediscover - however this pulls back a couple of hundred meg of plasma dependencies, which if you’re not aware, when you update your system would be redownloaded and reinstalled with each new ostree snapshot, slowing down the update process even further. I I tried doing it as a sysext (myrepo) but it keeps segfaulting and I havent worked out the issue edit: I have fixed the segfault issue and readded the ostree backend. Sysexts are new experienmental alternative to package layering which hold a lot of potential (check out tim ravier’s development of them here https://travier.github.io/fedora-sysexts/)

I couldnt see one - I also dont want to layer it, because it will pull in a couple of hundred megs of kde dependencies every time you update. I tried doing it as a sysext (myrepo) but it keeps segfaulting and I havent worked out the issue

The removal of KDE Discover has me considering going back to plain Kinoite on my HTPC. I figure I can build a sysext with the handful of bazzite bits I actually use and keep the unbutchered plasma experience

I clock off in half an hour

I never got to vote for Cheryl Kernot

So because you like what Oliver says, his “team” have given him all the absolute undeniable evidence to support his points

the references are in the video, if you bothered to watch it - so yes?

If Joe Rogan was researched and prepared instead of what he says off the cuff with his room temperature IQ, old mate can’t even read a graph, maybe he’d have some credibility.

Oliver’s team have given him the references to support what he’s saying, you not liking him doesn’t change the contents of the report you referenced

Yet here you are, caring.

I’m waiting for code to compile if I’m being honest

that is a pathetic way to try and kill a discussion, especially when your source was repeating conservative echo chamber nonsense and the section of the video I linked was literally talking about your stats, in a clear concise manner, something your article never took the time to do

Even if it did count every medal twice, which you’ve provided no evidence to show it even counted a single one twice

Pretty clear the study is flawed

do you remember the part where I said I’m not an expert, not invested or care about sport?

Who has the energy to care? assuming you’re a seppo, your country has a shit tonne more to worry about than how good someone’s chromosomes make them at putting a hockey stick in a basket from the other end of the pool

IIRC this is the study that counted medals multiple times

But I’m glad you have your culture wars to fill in your day

Weight and height classes exist

The near absence of trans people in sport, tends to indicate this really isn’t much a of a thing to begin with

hyperbole much?

Not an expert, but have read news long enough to notice a few things get overlooked

there are cases where it would be a disadvantage. If the athlete went through full male puberty their skeleton is going to be larger and heavier than someone who went through female puberty, after enough time at typical female hormone levels muscle mass generally decrease to be inline with cis women. It would take more energy to haul your own bones. On the otherside of the coin, more recent transwomen may not have gone through male puberty due to the use of blockers, why should they be penalised

People also tend to focus on transwomen, but conceivably there are sports where transmen might be at an advantage, where a typically lighter smaller frame may be a win. There are also so few trans people competing at a competitive level that as someone who lives outside the american culture wars and tends not to give a shit about sport, it always seems like an such a waste of effort to make a drama out of it

I wonder what it would do on my empty reddit account that I cleared all the comments on before coming here

I’ve been sysadmin where I work for 12 years, Ive been using Linux as my OS there all that time except the first month. After that month I asked the IT manager if he cared what OS I use. He said he didn’t care so long as it didn’t impede me getting the work done. The junior sysadmin who started a year ago now also uses Linux and my manager wishes he could too (he does too much Microsoft office to get away with it)

my friend and I used to use net send to message each other on the school network (this is back in the 90s), then someone worked out you could send to all PCs on the network, sysadmins were not happy

I’ve worked IT in schools and the hoops kids have to jump through to do similar stuff on our networks is so much harder
