It’s hard to tell, as there are so many things that influence it. A huge factor is selection bias, as only a small number of website embed StatCounter, and that’s very likely to not be a representative sample. I’d bet that the influence of that is magnitudes larger than of user agent spoofing.

I’m fairly sure it’s deficiencies in StatCounter’s measurement that’s accounting for it. Statistical noise, basically.

Yeah that’s what I mean - it’s not that the file size reduction is minimal, but that the benefits of that are fine, but not earth-shattering.

Oh! Note that in Settings under Network, there’s also a VPN setting that allows you to manually configure a VPN. It has an “Import from file…” option, so presumably, there’s a way to obtain a config file that should make it work. If not, knowing which options to set might work as well.

A VPN is definitely an example of software you should use rpm-ostree to install.

I think it’s fine if you use rpm-ostree for it, but it’s not necessarily required. I recently found out that the Mozilla VPN developers are experimenting (!) with building a Flatpak, and having tried it myself, it works very well.

What is it with this obsession with JPEG-XL? I keep seeing it mentioned on lots of threads, but as a user, the benefits seem marginal? Like: would be nice, but I’d expect more significant benefits from something that’s brought up this often - so which benefits am I missing?

Unfortunately I have the same symptoms you do… On GNOME.

It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then the system will get into a state that suspend doesn’t work.

It means that on systems with apps installed written with libadwaita, will also have libadwaita installed, rather than just GTK. But those apps will look like GNOME apps, which might look out of place on e.g. a Windows or Xfce desktop.

Haha I appreciate the candor!

Seems like a bit of an overreaction. From what I can see, it’s mostly that Ubuntu don’t seem confident enough to ship this without more rigorous testing (i.e. they think it might introduce other/more severe bugs), so they want resume doing that testing before shipping it. Doesn’t really seem harmful to anyone that didn’t explicitly choose to use Ubuntu.

Same. I don’t see why people need to argue about it or make a conscious decision about it anyway.

(My distro determined it was ready to use a while ago, so I’ve been switched over for a long time now. Indeed it’s working fine, and I think I hardly even notice the difference.)

llamafile also builds on that work, I believe (she’s the main contributor): https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

Like Kooha?

Also, GNOME comes with a pretty great simple screen recorder by default.

Well, you got me to give it a try. The process seemed simple enough, but unfortunately my laptop hangs when I run cargo run --release, so looks like no Zed for me for a while (until someone builds a Flatpak).

If they’re using a CLA, that would only be used if you want them to merge your code into their codebase. If you’re running a fork, that shouldn’t be a problem.

They’re showing the native file picker which using XDG desktop portals.

I’m also fairly sure that the “(but of course there are competing standards)” line referred to Flatpak vs. Snap (vs. AppImage).

It’s open source, so theoretically, yes.

Crossing my fingers that someone will step up to create a Flatpak 🤞

Either that, or it’s a joke.

The sheer audacity and arrogance of giving me something for free and not caring* about me.

* “Not caring” presumably means “not doing something about my pet issue”, but I’m not going to take the clickbait.
