Same thing with KDE Plasma and its UIs being written in QML, which allows better separation of business logic (written in C++) and graphical interface (QML Javascript).


Then it used to stop at 301 views, while the system was verifying the veracity of the views, or at least, that's what I've been told…


Yep, this was also the case with my old phone. Opening apps took a while but after that, everything was more fluid afterwards and clearly indicated that storage played a part in the device's slowness. Though, the 1.5 GB ram and the quad-core Cortex-A7 still made the device pretty slow.


it uses both pronouns: she/her and it/its, as written on her website[1].

Sure, but that’s not what the page says. The Wikipedia article says that. The page says “it/she”. From what I’m familiar with, the order is usually “singular/plural” and when multiple are preferred I’m used to seeing it written as you notated it here as pairs in a list e.g. she/her, him/his, they/them, it/its, xe/xim, etc, in a list. I guess I can infer that’s the intention, however, which is fair enough.

But that really didn’t have much to do with what I was discussing. That was a separate argument about how we use “it” to refer to objects as a rule. Humans are objects, but we also generally prefer to think of them as objects of a higher order variety. In conversation, we take advantage of this to parse and interpret context more quickly. Choosing to do otherwise makes it more difficult to know if the “it” I just used in this sentence is Maia, some other object, or an abstract point I’m making in this discussion. Anyway, that’s why I prefer she/her.

Exactly, thanks for summarizing the problem with indexing well. Indexing posts is a disservice and a danger to the safely of marginalized communities.


And GoToSocial is also a nice alternative to Mastodon


This nicely did the trick! Adding the line at the top of /etc/pam.d/system-auth makes sudo authenticate use the fingerprint, which is nicer than always typing my password and gives a streamlined experience between SDDM and sudo.
