Everyday I see tankie posts and it’s often the same scam: "america bad" (okay) "hence russia and china good"

Your post could be interpreted as such, especially on Lemmy

A big thanks for doing all that research!

I had kind of a fix for the flashlight, but this is much better. KeyMapper is really polished, the icon doesn't do it justice (I'm superficial like that).
I could customize the press duration, vibration, all good stuff. Only thing missing is a timeout.
I did have a bit of a weird behavior, with actions sometimes launched during button press and sometimes only after release. It seems to be fixed for now. For other users: I did grant root to the app but don't know if it was required for this function.

Traffic Light is again a well made app, but it updates too often and I don't like persistent app notification in the drop down window. I'll give it a try though.

On Graphene now, I dearly miss simple Lineage features I used 10 times a day: the network speed indicator and long press power button for flashlight. I just assumed GOS would have them.

I browsed the forums and they’re not interested in implementing it. One answer was "buy a flashlight"

Even after a few months I still feel like going back.

Is there a specific link between muslims and support to Ukraine?

sometimes when I come across a tesla while on foot I do a quick ”roman” salute, with 2 fingers on the philtrum for the stache

I just want everyone to feel welcome

Indeed I see how the "take over the whole screen" could be annoying.
It does simple math as well though! As for the sluggishness I don't notice it. You can speed up animations with "Just perfection", but again an extra extension (although this one is very well maintained)

ulauncher

Out of curiosity: why is it you don't like the overview? That's one of my favorite aspects of Gnome, and the first thing I tried to replicate in KDE

Edit: I do customize it a bit with extensions though. For example when I start typing and the search bar is immediately focused. And a few other things, like middle click to close windows

I’m the same, but I try to explain the errors of their ways in the most relaxed manner.
Most times it doesn’t make a difference but once in a while someone is receptive and makes a change. and it’s really rewarding.

It has been theorized once 25% of the population accepts an opinion the rest tends to follow, so I try to be optimistic and take it one step at a time. Lately I’ve had the impression I’m seeing progress.

I’m sure when it’s correctly prepared. This had the texture of a sponge.

When saying it deserves "all" the criticism, I might have been hyperbolic
I agree with most of what you said.

The keep it simple philosophy I agree with, but there are a few UI decisions, a few missing features I couldn't wrap my head around. They tend to be rectified in the end because it's common sense, but it takes a very long time and it can be frustrating. I'm sorry my memory is shit so I only remember the sentiment and don't have specifics. I do have one recent example, I needed to change a very simple shortcut. The system doesn't allow it and it feels arbitrary.

Extensions are really great. Some are absolute gems, and they tend to work perfectly. But the fact some are almost mandatory to have sane default is an issue. Especially when you have multiple devices. I don't think most people want a useless popup telling you the program has launched (or the window is activated, what is it again?), popup which once clicked won't even open said program. The extensions graveyard is hard to see though. I had recently a good one that wouldn't be ported to latest gnome, killing my linux tablet workflow. and can anyone tell me what the app menu with icons in seemingly random order is for?

I've used KDE for 4 years and mostly liked it, but I had tons of issues, and very few with Gnome.
KDE users I know your experience might be different but I'm telling you how it went for me. Gnome, while imperfect in this regard, has been much better. I tried Plasma 6 when it came out and it was pretty much the same for me, but I will give it another try at one point.

25 years ago it was served in my french school, once or twice a year maybe. Never saw any since.
I remember thinking at the time it was ok, a bit like chicken.
My biology teacher was aware of the menu and explained to us in which gruesome way they were butchered. I didn’t eat any after that. We had other "old fashioned" dishes from time to time, like veal tongue. Nobody liked that. There’s something a bit unsettling in seeing hundreds of tongues sitting in a big container

It deserves all the criticism.
And it is by far my favorite DE.

Hi!

2 of my drives failed recently (as well as an external drive), plus my faithful HP Proliant Gen 8 is ripe for retirement (I'm small potatoes compared to you guys).

So I bought a mini-PC (with a N100). I'm considering going all SSDs.

What are the cheapest ones? They can be slow.

Is there a "storage SSD" category?

I've looked at OEMs but they're not that interesting, or I didn't know where to look.
Aliexpress is full of fakes. As is the second hand market. Or it's legit but as expensive as new.

Thanks for reading!

any info on this?

edit: I just saw there's already a post

Linux only (I think), only between desktop clients, and it requires a server.

In the short time I've tested it, everything worked.
