The problem is not the lack of ideas, it is the programmers number and tech debt.

Hello!

Two years ago, I published a post explaining how to hide the desktop preview banner (https://lemmy.ml/post/8802064). Since then, that flag has been renamed, so I think it's a good time to remind everyone of its existence.

Currently, the setting flag has been renamed from HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true to ShowDesktopPreviewBanner=false in the ~/.config/kdeglobals file, under the [General] section.


~/.config/kdeglobals

[General]
ShowDesktopPreviewBanner=false

Have a good day!

On the other hand:

  • Loop-device exhaustion (slow, though Ubuntu has increased the limit via a patch).
  • A single point of failure due to Canonical’s repository imposition (a closed garden).
  • Unmaintained branches and snapped apps.
  • Implicit installation of snapped apps through the apt CLI instead of the originally supported packages 🤬 (what the hell, Canonical!? Are you doing the same crap as Microsoft?).

The server-side closed garden is the opposite of an open ecosystem and the open-source community. You can add custom repositories to APT or Flatpak. Every new snap interaction feels like another step toward forcing the user to use it, instead of offering cool features that convince users on their own merits.

The last change (installing snapped apps when you run apt install) was horrendous. What’s next? Installing snapped apps when the user runs flatpak install?

Source: snap So, tell it to Canonical (the company that develop Ubuntu). https://snapcraft.io/euruspro-desktop Report it.

Discover is a frontend client.

-- Edit. I saw that you did it. 👍

I prefer a simple style (just the folder icon, without the dolphin); but everyone have their own preferences. So… 🤷

As always, it can be customized for your own taste.

TLDR; from MIT to GPL.

For example, when someone ask for a command to list files, and another one reply with a command that removes everything.

TLDR; the reviewer is upset because the PSVR2-PC adapter doesn't come with a Display Port cable, and his Bluetooth adapter is not compatible. So he can't review the unit on time until he receive both items. 🤷

It's illegal in Europe to have an opt-out checked by default, must be an opt-in unchecked by default. This is one of the reason that Microsoft has always troubles in Europe about privacy and opt-out services.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

A folder dotfiles as git repository and a dotfiles/install that soft links all configurations into their places.

Two files, ~/.zshrc (without secrets, could be shared) and another for secrets (sourced by .zshrc if exist secrets).

Maybe this functionality was replaced by the next thing?

Automatic root filesystem soft-reboot: systemctl automatically reboots into a new root filesystem located at /run/nextroot/.

Hello!

Do you hate the watermark preview banner?

Add the text HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true just after [General] in the file ~/.config/kdeglobals. You will have something as the following:

[General]
HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true

Better for OLEDs displays, stylish, auto-suspend all-blacks displays, etc.
