but I mean you just don't have any spacing inside the boxes and so there's different length between the center and the sides

@calvin did you really use fullwidth *and* fail to align stuff properly? lol

@rushsteve1 @vaartis @sn0w I'm trying to find a better solution that hopefully works outside X11... but yeah, this shouldn't be an issue in the first place

@vaartis @sn0w @rushsteve1 I don't think GDM comes with a default Xsession, so the Void guys just made the most simple Xsession you could humanly think of

Fixed! :cookieqt:

Thanks a lot for helping out @sn0w @vaartis @rushsteve1 :blobheartcat:

@victorhck ...si acaso hará lo contrario cuando se vuelva masiva, porque el cifrado cuántico es igual de auditable que cualquier otro cifrado *y* es el tipo más fuerte que conocemos 🤔

YES I think I've found out the issue

Left: /etc/gdm3/Xsession in :ubuntu: 18.04
Right: /etc/gdm/Xsession in :voidlinux:

Good morning! Not only I can't use a .profile or a .xprofile on GNOME, it's actually not even importing /etc/profile!!! So now settings such as the path for TeXLive aren't working anymore :thinking_happy:

@Vamp898 It's not the same for every hardware company, though. Take Samsung, LG, Google, Nokia, all Chinese phone companies and so on. Take all the media industry in the past, and how not even Apple did what they did with MiniDisc, ATRAC, SonicStage, Sony BMG's outright illegal DRM, etc. I don't know of any other company that has gone to the lengths of Sony at protecting their intellectual property.

And it's all about software, not hardware. They can always sell good, competitive hardware

@Vamp898 > other than the other console guys and Apple?

I said that they are the exception

@Vamp898 Of course they do that in part because of their competition.

But it turns out, other than the other console guys and Apple? Nobody does what Sony does. Because it's actually not needed!

They still want customers to stay there, they want their technology to stay there, and they want the content to be under their control.

They can't understand people choosing Sony *and* something else.

And they can compete as a hardware company by building hardware the first and the best. That's it.

@lain ok you can officially close Pleroma now

@lain It was on the Dreamcast and the Mega Drive tho

@lain looking back, I was just playing Sonic and writing assembly code in MS-DOS' `debug`.

How gay is that? :thinking_happy:

@Vamp898 It's sad because they do create great stuff, but they throw out all of their effort again and again by making it excessively restrictive.

@Vamp898 They are also unusual for putting DRM in their camera so, if you install AOSP (which you have to build yourself), you automatically lose any hope of taking decent shots and recordings.

I know how huge Sony is and where they work, I still think that once you publically ship something, it stops being fully yours - everyone who wants and pays has a copy of the implementation of those ideas, which they have the right to look at and modify. It's all artificial barriers (DRM, legal) on top.

It's just sad. Really, really sad. They're still amazing at creating innovative products for both consumers and creators. They still offer stuff that nobody else does. And I can see a glimpse of genuine good intentions. I can see that there's actual human beings who are passionate and care for the people they're working for behind it all.

But they're just stuck being Sony, apparently.

"We will all work together to protect Sony’s intellectual property such as our patents, designs, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀."

By filling their clients' throats with DRM, shitty restrictions, denying you the chance to modify your Sony devices, and so on.

They're so terrified that ideas and software are easily reproducible, they hurt themselves every single time by putting barriers, limiting their value.

I don't know if it's their Japanese culture, their corporate culture, both... but they're too obsessed with the fragility of software, ideas, their intellectual property. So much so, that the cover of their actual code of conduct (yes, they have one) is dedicated to the value of their reputation and brand, in a booklet where they claim that "Sony’s intellectual property is one of Sony’s most valuable assets and it differentiates us from our competitors".
