It really sucks there's no good open source alternative to MS Office. LibreOffice has been so bad for so long its not funny. Maybe if Typst got a good WYSIWYG editor it could compete.

I've been using DDG for a few years, but I don't like that it's not subject to any strong privacy regulations like GDPR I've looked at startpage but I hate how it doesn't let you see your search history in your browser history. Qwant forces you to diable your adblocker. Does anyone know of any good alternative?

The NixOS wiki's been around for a few years at least, it just doesn't get as much traffic from search engines since NixOS isn't super popular.

Some perceptural hash of the actual ads could work to. You could run into legal trouble sending the ads themselves or the hosts speaking.

What do you think the term "grave error" comes from?

I wouldn't recommend it. The Git documentation itself doesn't recommend rebase for more than moving a few unpushed commits to the front of a branch you are updating. Using it by default instead of merge requires you to use --force-push as part of your workflow which can lead to confusing situations when multiple developers end up commiting to the same branch, and at worst can lead to catastrophic data loss. The only benefit is a cleaner history graph, which is rarely used anyway, and you can always make the history graph easier to read with a gui without incuring any of the problems of rebase.

I wonder if the Gnome team's cavalier aditude towards agreed upon standards is related to Redhat's influence 🤔 It's totally possible the devs are just high on their own fumes due to being the default for so long.

Isn't this more or less what windows with WSL 2.0 is? It's not linux under the hood, but the average user, or even developer is unlikely to care about that. Plus they get to sidestep any linux hardware compatability issues and continue to keep linux support from being a vendor priority.

What does this do vs just using SOPS?

Back in the Gnome 2 days this wasn't as much the case. Plus KDE was kind of a mess back then so the main choices were Gnome or XFCE which had fewer features. When Gnome 3 came around the devs switched hard to a much more opinionated approach, leading to Gnome 2 forks like Cinnamon since KDE was still very underpolished. It's a bit regrettable that all that effort was poured into Gnome forks instead of improving KDE especially considering how great it is now.
