@Bali10050 Incidentally Evan (Boehs - the guy you forked from) is somewhat active on Mastodon, so if you wanted to get in touch with him it probably wouldn't be hard; he might help point people toward your fork. In case that information is helpful at all.

My capacity to contribute would be extremely limited, but I starred the repo at least, maybe I can chip in a bit at some point in the future.

@scrubbles nooo 😭

I guess this will be a good impetus to acquire all the music I was getting through Tidal by other means, which I was kind of meaning to do anyway

@then_three_more @itsnotits I don't see how "its a new feature" is grammatical, because we don't use "a" along with a possessive. "Its new feature" would be perfectly normal but I think "its a new feature" doesn't make sense.

@Pantherina @louis_sch Markdown *does* resemble what you mean though. Like, that's part of the intent of Markdown (and also part of why it became so popular), that the raw markup is readable and lends itself to being understood in the same way as the formatted version. The markup for emphasis actually looks like emphasis; the markup for a list looks like a list; likewise for a section header, or a table or footnote if you're using a variant that supports those, or so on. So I don't think that particular argument that Markdown is not good for note-taking holds up very well.

@talesofaprinny @kde I'm not sure how helpful this will be for you, but it's kind of like email. You have an account on one email server (like, say, Gmail), and you can use that account to exchange messages in a standard format with people on other email servers (Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Proton Mail, Fastmail, etc.), but your account on Gmail doesn't let you log in anywhere else. If you want to use any of those other servers directly, you need to create an account on the server you want to use.

Similarly, you can use your account on one Fediverse server (mastodon.social) to exchange messages in a standard format with people on other Fediverse servers (techhub.social, lemmy.kde.social, etc.), but your account on mastodon.social doesn't let you log in anywhere else. If you want to use any of this other servers directly, you need to create an account on the server you want to use.

@Fleppensteijn @Max_P The change in the first component of the version number from 5 to 6 is what could have tipped you off. I mean, admittedly there's no universal standard for software versioning that everyone follows, but the closest thing there is to a commonly adopted standard (https://semver.org/) says that when the first component of the version number changes, it's a big deal and things might break. (Or, a relatively big deal, but just how big that is in practice depends on the package.) If you didn't know to look out for that, now you do. 😀

Unless by "average user" you mean someone who relies on automatic updates and doesn't look at what's getting installed. Which is fine, but if you're allowing automatic updates, you have to understand you're giving up the ability to catch stuff like this before it happens. (This situation could certainly be improved, but generally that's the state of things right now.)

@orbitz @m4 You don't need to be running the desktop environment to run the app, you only have to have it installed. Like, KDE apps require (some parts of) KDE to be installed, but typically work fine even if you're running Gnome instead of KDE, and vice-versa.

Apps do tend to look and feel a little smoother if you use them in their "native" desktop environment though.

@Moshpirit 👍

If you have any experience with computer programming, I would definitely recommend looking up a tutorial on threads for your favorite programming language and writing a little program that uses them. The best way to understand what threads are is through practical experience.

If not, hopefully you can find some good resources anyway! The gist is that threads are kind of like little mini-programs that run within a main program and can be used to do specific tasks that would otherwise "distract" the main program from its work. (That's not exactly accurate, but it's the best way I can think of to explain the basic idea in one sentence.)

@mvirts @Moshpirit Yep, htop shows threads in green, so all of those shown in the image (except the first one probably) are threads. You can turn off display of threads in the settings.

Or, if you enable tree display, the threads will display as children of their process.

@mfraz74 @Bro666 @rriemann @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Gotcha. Well, I use Gentoo so I would be compiling it anyway. Sounds like I should take a look at it again 🙂

@mfraz74 @Bro666 @rriemann @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is Amarok still maintained? I thought it was dead. I used to love it but I had to give it up when I couldn't run it anymore.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Hooray! Very excited for this
