If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I'll not be remotely surprised.

Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad's magazines - but really doesn't now.

Good article, tough.

I've been using SelectSpecs for 15 years. I think they drop-ship from SE Asia.

Mostly to have a spare set, but for the last year or so they've been my primary pair.

Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.

Is there any other platform other than github for submitting issues?

Depends on the developers. Some rely entirely on the repo's Issues, but many have alternative channels like Telegram, Matrix, Discord, etc.

I reckon it is time to turn away from github like how we switch from reddit to lemmy

Many are doing exactly that. Sites like Codeberg are popular, if your project is FOSS.

Or you can host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance. The latter is what Codeberg runs on.

GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.

Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it's hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).

That explains a lot, thanks.

American or South African chocolate products.

NOT an anti-American/-Saffer thing. They add butyric acid, which tastes like vomit to the rest of the world. (Accurate, as vomit contains it).

Presumably because the market there have been trained to expect that flavour for some reason. To the rest of us, a US or ZA origin is usually a sign to avoid.

The only time I've had this is back when I thought the settings in the kebab menu (top right) controlled everything, until I realised the preferences in Settings > General are for that.

Not sure what's going in with your situation, though, sorry.

Although it's certainly a popular distribution, my understanding is that Bazzite's future is currently uncertain due to Fedora's decision to remove certain 32-bit libraries in future and the folks behind Bazzite saying they may need to end the project because of it.

I don't know the details, and it's possible that Fedora will reconsider, someone may make those libraries available downstream, or the Bazzite folks may have been hyperbolic, but it's worth looking for the details and potential impacts. (Don't take my reply as an accurate assessment).

As an alternative, I can recommend an excellent game-friendly distro: EndeavourOS. It's based on Arch, rather than Fedora. I use it on my gaming PC and my general use laptop. I'm approaching the 2 year mark with this distro.

Oops. You're quite right, of course.
