@npub1a74…u9xf 🤣 Promise you I didn't see that one. Obviously not everyone can be pleased 😄 KDE always includes the whole shebang. Literally 280 fonts and variations i delete right off the bat. With the imminent promotion inside of Fedora my guess is all Fedora images will soon include all that. From a maintenance perspective I understand, as an end user I just see 'helpful' fluff to be deleted.

I've seen some remarks about Larry Ellison and his AI surveillance state. And rightly so. A reminder: China has this already implemented, working and rolled out. Three strikes and you can't go on holiday or get a new credit card. The US has the tech capabilities to turn it on tomorrow, as do many others and all are continuously surveiling anything all the time by camera. Where this leads to? Ask the Uyghurs.

@npub1wst…ez75 Proton mail, with a custom domain. A $5 purchase on Namecheap. That enables me to have multiple separate emailaddresses under that domain name.

@npub1gxj…vf86 As for KDE i would use Yakuake, the drop-down terminal of KDE. Check whether that is installed? I believe the default keybind to use it is F12, but that can of course be changed to anything you prefer.

The sense of good music is largely lost on the Vietnamese youth. That's the old guy speaking. When i let my girlfriend listen to Robert Cray and explained to her why i like his music (the blues, drink, girls, you get it) her first response was: yes, just like you 😂. There's still hope.

Everyone is so up in arms about the 'recall' that's about to be baked into Windoze. Let me remind you that, during the pandemic, this thing was already widely rolled out in Teams and used by almost every company to spy on their remote employees, keystrokes, activity and all. All companies conveniently forgot to turn that off, until now. And no, I am not a tin-foil hat kinda guy, just a realist.

2024-05-13 03:23:20

@npub1wst…ez75 Matt, is there a specific extension in Gnome you use to place application windows on specific workspaces? Like Ff always opens on 1, terminal on 2 etc.? I've tried out a couple, like Automove Windows, but I'd like the focus to move with it. Possibly you found a better one?
#gnome_extensions

2024-05-12 03:27:14

Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.
