Yeah. I’m really enjoying it so far. Gotta figure out how to turn on Bluetooth at some point today to get my controller working so that’ll be my first rodeo lol
Yup got it all sorted. My setups a pain though. I bought ffxiv through their launcher not steam. So now to find a way to remote play lol. I’m running nobara 40 with the cachyos kernel on the host and sunshine didn’t seem supported yet. 😥
i’ve been on it for a while since i’m on the beta channel but it’s such a nice release. the thunderbird does good work and i urge you to do a monthly donation to them.
Hrm… I just changed (in KDE) “right click” in inactive windows to be “Activate and Raise” rather than “Activate, raise and pass click”. I never liked this behavior for left-click before, but maybe having it as a right-click will help.
There’s unfortunately no getting around that maintaining a secure and performant web engine is a highly expensive endeavour. There’s a reason why it’s just Google, Mozilla, and Apple left (and Apple doesn’t even try to implement all the web standards).
If not Google, it’d probably be Bing, or some other extremely wealthy company trying to get something out of Mozilla.
Every time Mozilla has tried to diversify their income, people complain about them trying to make money/commercialise. I mean I don’t like it either, but they’re in a tough spot.
They’re seen as evil bastards if they take money, and they’re seen as evil bastards when they try to make money.
At least with Google there’s a possible antitrust case if they suddenly pulled funding, given their market position, and that gives Mozilla a bit more leverage than I think they’d get with other deals.
I’m not disagreeing on them being in a tough spot when they try making money, but the corporate side of Mozilla does some shady financial stuff, only to pay their CEO.
I built a console-only laptop once for financial reasons. I wanted something to travel with on a trip and was donated a laptop that, I think 20 MB of RAM after I upgraded it. I was able to run vim, perl and mutt was very tolerable performance.
I don’t think there’s really special tips. Pick a goal of some tasks to accomplish. Work towards them, discover the rough edges and find solutions for them. If you install everyone else’s favorite CLI apps, you can end up more than you need.
All that said, if I had the memory to run a GUI, I probably would have do so. But I wasn’t going to have a lot of time for web browsing and other laptop on that trip anyway.
LibreOffice uses its own widget toolkit. It works similarly to wxWidgets, basically just maps to whatever toolkit is native on the current platform. It uses Win32 on Windows, Cocoa on macOS, Qt on KDE, GTK on GNOME and a few others.
That said, their current approach to dark themes is pretty bad. It can very easily conflict with the dark theme from the host toolkit and cause issues if misconfigured, which has caused a lot of people to think it just doesn’t work. It does work, but it can be confusing as hell to configure correctly.
For instance, LibreOffice has a setting you can use to change the application colors. It barely works and you should never touch it. Just let it get the colors from your toolkit.
There’s also the fact that LibreOffice doesn’t use FDO icons and has its own icon setting which doesn’t automatically follow dark/light theme. If you’re using a dark theme, you have to manually switch the icon set to one that isn’t impossible to see on a dark background.
Oh and if you want your documents to use a dark palette that’s also a separate setting. Like I said, confusing.
And yeah, dark in the document is another pain point, especially in IDE’s/editors and if you switch between dark and light for day/night. They should just all have color/icon settings for dark/light separately.
FDO stands for FreeDesktop.Org, the committee responsible for various desktop Linux standards including icon themes. So FDO icons just refers to your system icon theme, which LibreOffice doesn’t use.
It reads that data direct from the batteries BMS hardware, I don’t think battery calibration has been a thing since NiCD/NiMH days in the 90s and stuff.
I’m not even sure what kind of behavior is this from a battery - it blinks even when I put in the charger, however it has stopped blinking since the time I’ve put in the charger for almost more than a day. But the value is still at zero - and ironically, it does not shut down immediately - maybe after two-five hours? Is the PCB a goner?
I’m a longtime Thunderbird user and don’t get all the changes they make. It’s a good functional client. I would rather want to see the parts not neccessary needed for an email client to able to disable, such as Calendar, Tasks and Chat. I use the RSS Reader, so that News REader functionality would be on for me. But can’t we disable all the other modules?
This and an first party integrated system tray icon showing number of unread messages would be extremely helpful (and maybe optional notifications). I’m baffled why these things are not builtin, but a Chat?
Well I don’t agree on that tray icons wouldn’t matter. They are very useful. But either way, it would be good to have the option for these two very basic and important functionality. On the compile flags, that would even be better, as these modules wouldn’t be in the final binary / install anymore.
But I would be just happy if we could turn the modules off in the options, so the actual Thunderbird client is less cluttered, less possibilities of bugs affecting me and lighter on resources. Why not get rid of them entirely and make standalone applications? It would free some development resources too, for the core Thunderbird mail client.
Maybe switching to a lighter alternative is a good idea.
Nope, it runs FreeRTOS, but it's still cool that I can build an internet-connected smart device in a package the size of your big toe nail using open software.
Don’t forget that every recent Intel CPU contains an extra 486-based system on a chip running a stripped-down version of Minix (a predecessor of Linux), to implement the remote management engine.
I wonder how you would block bruteforcing the encrypted storage. Once someone got their hands on your device for long enough to clone, you’re done and you get into the “how much is the data worth to you” territory.
And it better be worth a lot because bruteforcing LUKS? Good luck. I wonder if even the NSA would be capable of that.
There are issues with booting from unencrypted storage but that isn’t really a LUKS issue, though.
TPM has shown to be quite vulnerable as well, with for example the usually hardware flaws where, IIRC, TPM would sent the security certificates in plan text over data lines somewhere.
Either way, I don’t see my of these items as something great that LUKS doesn’t have.
I honestly love the new nested replies in email chains they added to the inbox view a few months ago. It makes a messy inbox so much less messy looking
