Yeah, I’m not fond of how many open-source and homelab projects are starting to proudly wear the fact they’re just vibe-coded AI slop poured into a trenchcoat, but at least their declaration of the fact is better than pretending they did it themselves.

Amass was one of the listed projects under the “New Software” section of the post. It has already changed project name to Assistant-to-the-Music.

Amass, the Android client for Music Assistant, has rebranded to “Assistant to the Music” since this was written.

A reddit user pointed out the previous Amass logo looked like it spelled “All Ass”

I use this custom UI called uosc with MPV and its pretty decent.

Definitely agree that mpv isn’t a jellyfin replacement though.

Would you be willing to share your config?

I definitely mis-read that as IKEA on first glance.

There’s a “US Gov protecting fossils” joke in there somewhere but I don’t really want to kick that hornets nest.

They were limiting their own production to raise demand and keep the price high, but then realized their competitors were benefiting from selling at those higher prices… so now they’re going to raise their own production and try undercut competitors on prices. They have the capacity to out-produce their competition, so they can afford to sell for slightly less than competitors if they want to, hence the "long and shallow” price war quote.

They are against low prices, but if anyone is buying low they want to be the one selling it.

I’ve had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

In the description for ArcMenu they say:

Requires GMenu package:

• Depending on your distro you may need to install ‘gir1.2-gmenu-3.0’, ‘gnome-menus’, or ‘libgnome-menu-3-0’

Have you got that dependency covered?

What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

I’m not doing this for approval.

Okay. Go away and do it then.

My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don’t really think that’d be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn’t be trying to use it anyway…?

I think you’re right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that’s the part generating the monitors.xml…

The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!

Yeah, seems like it should just be working…

You’ve probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

Maybe the config:

• has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
• or possibly doesn’t include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?

When you copy over your monitor config, are you correcting the ownership/permissions?

The little scriptlet I made to combat a previous nvidia/wayland multi-monitor headache boils down to:

sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml

Maybe double check if GDM is ignoring wayland as well, I’ve definitely had that happen in the past too.

Yeah, the Forgejo documentation was dreadful when I last looked, it really showed its origin as a Gitea replacement for people already using (and understanding) Gitea.

That’s cool. Any reason why you went with a self-hosted GitHub runner over making the full jump to a self-hosted Gitea instance + runner?

Maybe Linux just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. Go use Windows or Mac and enjoy your “just works” setup and lack of involuntary learning.

What I feel would be acceptable:

If you’re proud of your Framework laptop and want to brag about it, we’ll give you some swag for free that you can show off with when you’re out and about!

What this looked like to me:

If you’re attending a conference we’d be paid to attend, but can’t go to, will you show off your Framework laptop to attendees in an effort to convince them to buy one from us too, and we’ll send you some stickers?

The issue isn’t even what they’re asking for, but how their asking it.

When I last had an everyday carry USB stick (5+ years ago) I found I never actually used it for anything.

I had Ventoy and some practical ISOs, and PortableApps with a bunch of useful software (firefox, foobar2000, GIMP, notepad++…) for when I was using someone else’s Windows PC.

…think I stored like two word documents on it, ever.

I think we Fedora users just have to wait for RPMFusion to roll out the updated driver. Not entirely sure if they only use Stable branch drivers or not though. I’m used to Arch where it would just be in the AUR within the hour…

I’ve been refreshing half the uBlue repos a lot today in the hopes there’s some commits showing they’re rolling the drivers out for Bluefin quickly 😂
