Not to forget Thunderbird that gained a lot of funding after introducing a support popup in their app.

Afaik it works well for all the mentioned projects, just don’t overdo it and become nagware lol

For Gnomes case, they have a popup that appears in the desktop shell… triggered by certain conditions? KDE has a support message in their welcome / quickstart after installing KDE plasma

Laut Netzwerk-Steuergerechtigkeit gehen uns jährlich bis zu 200 MILLIARDEN Euro durch Steuerhinterziehung und aggressive Steuervermeidung verloren. Geld, mit dem wir die Regelsätze fürs Bürgergeld viermal finanzieren und trotzdem noch erhöhen könnten. Holt das Geld bei den Reichen!

Which ChatGPT death was it where ChatGPT kept saying the conversation triggered a safety mechanism where OpenAI employees are alerted and will intervene, but it was just a hallucinated feature that a responsible company should have?

KDE and GNOME gained sponsors with donation popups… maybe you could try a compiler message?

Not that it works for npm packages tho lol

Cinematographic Rickroll😭😭
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

That’s likely a WebKit thing tho… YouTube for me sometimes has the favicon of instagram or upcloud 😭

rust devs will look you square in the face and laugh at your npm isOdd and then turn around with “Compiling either v1.15.0”

At the gpg.fail talk and omg #39c3

You can just put a \0 in the Hash: header and then newlines and inject text in a cleartext message.

Won’t even blame PGP here. C is unsafe at any speed.

gpg has not fixed it yet.

Yeah the parts of the gnome community are currently putting in efforts to push the ecosystem more forward, but afaik they mostly use mainstream phones, could be wrong though

To be fair depending on your usecase, you wouldn’t have issues with battery life on Linux. Running Fedora or openSUSE with battery management set to balanced via GUI / quicksettings works perfectly fine for me on the go. Not to compare with macOS, but still great
