"This week in Plasma" covers how KRunner now sees in color, the disk widget finds errors in your drives, Spectacle gets a spectacular overhaul, and much, much more! by TxTechnician in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[-] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

I just updated my opens here's tumbleweed install and I saw that spectacle got downgraded.

Now I see this beautiful new spectacle version and I'm like, why?

I like how the toolbars are organized more now than the way that they were.

GNOME Software May Eventually Drop RPM Support In Favor Of Flatpaks by TxTechnician in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Dependencies are contained in the flatpak. That's why something like zenmap. Which requires python 2. Can run on a system that doesn't have python 2 installes

GNOME Software May Eventually Drop RPM Support In Favor Of Flatpaks by TxTechnician in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Really? Why not?

I find them incredibly useful for some applications.

For some development stuff, though, I still prefer to use the installed version.

So VS Code, for example, I have that installed.

The flat pack just does not work as well.

But Podman Desktop, which is a flat pack, is just excellent.

Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox? by TxTechnician in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I battled that for about a year and then ditched Debian based diatros altogether.

After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma. by TxTechnician in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

I tried gnome for a bit. I really liked the workflow. But the over simplification of the interface just killed me.

I got tired of it. And took the things I like from gnome and implemented them in plasma. (Swipe for virtual desktops for example)

This is not a good look for brave. by TxTechnician in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[-] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago

I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it's just another chromium browser.

Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.

I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: "Automate the boring stuff" used it in the webscrape sample.

After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.

I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that's interesting.

Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago by TxTechnician@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Kubuntu 23.10 connects to wifi, but only after all other startup programs have run.

I'm just curious as to why that is. And what controls this startup behavior.

I've had to change some startup scripts for rclone, to wait until a network connection is present before starting. Other than that it's not a problem.

Question about RMM remote support on Wayland. (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by TxTechnician@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I use an rmm called level. The remote support function under Wayland doesn't allow keystrokes or mouse input in Firefox.

Question : Is it that Firefox has not implemented the necessary features to allow input? Or is this more likely to be the rmm?

I reached out for a feature request to level, great company BTW.

UPDATE: So, it turns out that my RMM is working fine under Wayland. Level got back with me because they couldn't reproduce the problem. So I tried to reproduce the problem. Only to find it is working just fine. Whatever was causing that problem, I have no idea. But it's gone.

Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago by TxTechnician@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
86 comments fedilink

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

Learning the terminal. Found this nice android app: "Linux Command Library"

It lists a number of man pages and examples.

I found this one:

block known dirty hosts from accessing your machine

wget -qO - http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted|awk '!/#|[a-z]/&&/./{print "iptables -A INPUT -s "$1" -j DROP"}'

I figured that domain was a list of spam sites and such.

Googled it. Found nothing mentioning it. Went to the domain and it was blocked by my ad blocker.

Anyone know of it?

I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.
