Wayland cursr equivalent

I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can’t find an alternative that works on wayland and that’s pretty well the only thing stopping me from making...

unknowing8343 ,

Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It’s pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there’s always the possibility to make it your way.

Here’s a way to tweak the setting to your liking.

unknowing8343 ,

Then publish on both!

unknowing8343 ,

Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you’d probably start seeing sponsors.

No, I don’t usually go physically affectionate with them, male, female, or whatever. I reserve that to close family; unless there is some special situation of course, like loss, or celebration, or something.

And honestly, I don’t miss it at all. I get enough affection at home.

It’s clearly time for Linux mobile then 🤘

unknowing8343 ,

I am expecting that is exactly the point. I don’t think they’ll win, tho. We’ll find a way around it.

Please, discover OpenStreetMap.org and stop being an unpaid Google employee, and make your work truly public and free.

unknowing8343 OP ,

I could understand that some distros’ kernel had binary blobs, but the main kernel?? I was not expecting that if it’s true.

Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop?

I’m moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don’t see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?...

unknowing8343 ,

Unless you really need some big GPU thingie… Laptops are too good nowadays.

No, laptop functions have not been offloaded to phones. Phones have simply taken time from real life interactions 😅

unknowing8343 ,

Workaround, get some mewing hardware and √ 🤫

unknowing8343 ,

I’m in the process of trying to make some old phones work on Linux mobile and truly check what is the state of things there (considering they have been reverse-engineered to work there, not ideal).

I’ve said this a few times.

Parties are not my thing BUT if a friend asks me to go to a party with enough time (maybe 2 weeks), I can mentally prepare, schedule things out, and get my mind ready for a long, tiring night… But hey, with friends, which are people that generally add to your life. Now it’s time to give back and make them smile by sharing that tiring time together.

Also, hydrate strongly prior to that night, and don’t be hungry. Don’t let anything stupid bring your mood down. And relax and enjoy. You’ve scheduled that time for you to freely waste. Own it.

unknowing8343 ,

Let’s face it, if you install Linux (or even Windows!) for your mom, you put VLC in there.

Yes, some other tools are better at some things, but VLC is the perfect choice for the “standard” user.

unknowing8343 ,

Redox OS seems like it’s turning into something cool.

unknowing8343 ,

If you are not hosting, it having a repo on Github makes no difference. The server you are connecting to might have a different service running and you cannot know.

unknowing8343 ,

For a correct metric one must multiply the time since last update by the number of open issues

unknowing8343 ,

No one uses “scaled”? 😢

unknowing8343 ,

I’d vote for funghi

Skate stuff. Could never do anything more difficult than a static, barely decent Ollie. And I was a teen, lots of free time, I spent hours and hours and hours for weeks and months. Nothing.

Effort is not everything.

I am so glad I had no money, because I really wanted to be better and if I had to learn the lesson later in life I would have tried to “fix” it with high quality gear.

unknowing8343 ,

If you want to use your YouTube account (at your own risk) then Vanced is your option.

I recommend using a proxy, tho, and for me LibreTube is the best app currently out there.

You can make an account on a Piped instance (YouTube proxy) so you can sync-up subscriptions and all.

4 months durability for an $800 phone!

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...

unknowing8343 ,

A glass back is not necessary for wireless charging. There’s many materials that can fit there, the glass choice is purely for “premium” feel.

unknowing8343 ,

This is fake. Glass is not the only material that can do wireless charging. There exist plastic phones that can wirelessly charge. In fact. Your wireless charger is very much probably plastic, not glass.

Also, my current phone (Unihertz Jelly Star) is plastic and has NFC… So it’s also not related to NFC either.

unknowing8343 ,

Totally agree.

unknowing8343 ,

Download latest version here!

unknowing8343 ,

First of all: it’s a joke.

Second of all: no, Arch is not as easy to install, specially for someone who is looking at Manjaro as a possibility.

And believe me, I was once a Manjaro user.

And for 99% of Manjaro users, what they really wanted was Arch with an installer. Which is what Endeavour OS is. (Although I’ll never understand why Endeavour people didn’t just develop the tools FOR Arch instead of wrapping it all up as their own).

unknowing8343 ,

Sorry I don’t understand your first question.

What I mean is that anyone (in fact there were projects that did this) could make an image with an installer GUI for Arch Linux that installed Arch Linux and some opinionated software like Endeavour does. But at the end you just got an easy Arch installation. What bothers me is that instead of pushing for Arch Linux’s brand, Endeavour created their own, virtually wrapping Arch Linux as theirs, and I don’t believe it is enough work to consider it a different distro, because it is LITERALLY ARCH with a couple of extra packages (that could be on the main repos or the AUR).

And I am saying all this as an Endeavour user myself!

unknowing8343 ,

The dracut-systemdboot thing makes no sense. If you are installing Arch Linux, you have all options available? There is no “default” Arch, 😅

unknowing8343 ,

*GUI installer

unknowing8343 ,

I would say that does apply in the case of Endeavour OS but shouldn’t for a custom install with 100 % Arch+AUR packages.

AI in web search is not going anywhere. Deal with it.

This force is unstoppable, whether you like it or not. So you better spend your time adapting.

unknowing8343 ,

Full respect, but I have a feeling you (and I)'ll be using AI as part of your daily endeavours in the next 2 years easily.

unknowing8343 ,

Writing emails, generating summaries, translation, code, true phone virtual assistant, dubbed-with-AI content… This year we are going to see very probably important announcements from GAFAM, that’s why the AI pin startups launched their products so early, because they are very soon probably being made obsolete with whatever GAFAM has in hands for summer and fall announcements.

unknowing8343 , (edited )

Well, 20 years ago you didn’t need a computer but now it is virtually ridiculous if you don’t have one in your pocket.

Also you are not using a virtual assistant nowadays because they are s***. But once you can have a natural, context sensitive conversation with your assistant where instead of “create an alarm at 8:30” you can ask it to “see if there is any important email or WhatsApp I need to answer” or “please tell me if Joe messages about mom”…

unknowing8343 OP ,

I don’t buy (pun intended) these arguments because I’ve been listening for months now and not a single time they made me think I needed to buy anything.

Supplements are generally discussed at the end of the podcast, as a last resort, with a big warning on consulting with a professional. Like any science-based program would.

Also there are no brands promoted, but components themselves.

unknowing8343 OP ,

This is starting to feel like a neverending loop. Where is the pseudoscience? Where is it? That is what I want to know!

All those comparisons with Joe Rogan make absolute no sense, 😅. The only thing that these share is that they go to the gym and have a podcast.

I am not treating him like the answer to anything. I am just weirded out because I am getting bombarded with cancel-culture comments that go nowhere.

unknowing8343 OP ,

Some responses are somehow disappearing, maybe some federation issue?

But yes, so far responses are very much very meh. From such an amount of hate I was expecting a Jordan Peterson level of evidence where you get him rambling for 10 minutes about how women should be more in the kitchen or something 😅.

Turns out most “evidence” so far is basically personal life rumours and “pseudoscience” claims without explicit examples.

We’ll see.

unknowing8343 OP ,

My trick is that I listen through LibreTube with sponsorblock on. The experience is exquisite.

And even without sponsorblock, on YouTube you can move through chapters easily, and ads are chapters which makes it incredibly easy to move to next chapter when an ad comes

unknowing8343 ,

Just got done reading it. (Try adding “12ft.io/” before the URL for a better experience).

Please, everyone, read it fully.

Why does 95% of the text focus on his personal life? What about the podcast’s credibility?

There are countless clips of Joe Rogan showcasing his ignorance. Show me Huberman’s lies or dangerous advice.

I’m not defending Andrew, but his content is mostly well-reviewed and delivered with delicacy for such complicated topics. If you have SEEN otherwise, tell me.

Again, don’t link to articles about his personal life, because now I sadly know all of it and it bores me to death 😅

unknowing8343 , (edited )

You cannot take an article and say it’s true and therefore “Andrew bad”. It doesn’t work like that. I’ve seen that article a million times already. It presents no proof, it’s just a reddit comment as an article for clicks.

The sunscreen thing, here’s the first link that comes up when you search online:

Taken together, this review advocates revisiting the current safety and regulation of specific sunscreens and investing in alternative UV protection technologies.

In any case I am sure he wasn’t saying ALL SUNSCREEN IS BAD but you know, people are going to build up their stories.

No, his personal life isn’t relevant if all he does in his podcast is condense evidence about a subject, with all relevant sources right there.

unknowing8343 ,

So Veritasium is also a liar because they don’t have a lab? I am not going to comment on personal life issues unless there is a legal case there, which there isn’t, so the probability of it being bullshit for clicks is high.

unknowing8343 ,

Good journalism would be an article going through all the papers from the Huberman podcasts and his analysis of them (which he always cites if it’s been peer-reviewed, etc) and debunking all the misinformation. But nope. It’s all about talking to enough people hoping they say some crap about the personal life about a private person, cherry picking information and building up a story from that.

The sunscreen thing, I just passed the first link that came to me, showing that in fact there is proof of bad agents in sunscreen.

If you go check the video of Huberman and sunscreen, very easy to find, you’ll see how he literally says that sunscreen is important because you don’t want to get cancer, it’s just that SOME SUNSCREEN has been found to have toxic components that may cross the blood-brain barrier, and he simply advices to BUY A GOOD SUNSCREEN.

See how this “journalism” works? They pick those little things and extrapolate into madness instead of doing actual work. Because why would you do the actual journalism if there is an easier way to get clicks?

And I am sure one could find some contradicting science to Huberman’s podcasts and I would LOVE to see that. In fact, I think Huberman would love that too. That’s science!!

unknowing8343 ,

First of all: yes, science is about constantly trying to disprove hypotheses. That is what the guys at CERN are doing, that is what people at Stanford are doing. What else could it be?

If you think Huberman is giving these people a right to spout off scientific matters and that’s horrible, then we should cancel Veritasium, we should cancel Sabine Hossenfelder, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox, MinutePhysics, VSauce, all TED speeches, damn, BURN every science book and magazine, cause it is making people have opinions about these evil things!!

unknowing8343 ,

I am not defending the man. I am just trying to get to the meat of why there is so much hate on him.

All that young men, nofap, supplement-seller thing is NOWHERE in his podcast. It just shows that people are just reading clickbait article titles. Please watch one of his episodes about sleep, or alcohol, or whatever. I’ve explained it in many comments already. This dude is REALLY careful about what he puts in his podcasts, and it shows.

BTW, none of his advice has ever said anything losely related to Peterson’s rethoric of male superiority thingie, and I don’t even know who that Sam Harris is.

I can tell you something tho. So far in all discussions, NO ONE has brought up what I believe is Huberman’s biggest mistake: bringing Zuckerberg in. That was a very bad episode, but everyone (I even remember Veritasium f*cking it up hard once) deserves to make mistakes sometimes (particularly if no illegal action was taken). I think (hope) he learned his lesson because every comment was clear. No highlight videos were made out of that episode which clearly shows they probably realised the mistake.
