with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.

I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.

Any ideas? Google lens results weren't helpful.

Israel didn't ditch or disobey America's commands in any meaningful sense. The idea that America is trying to keep Israel under control while it's commiting this genocide is propaganda. That is not what's happening. The US is not issuing commands that Israel is disobeying. What it's doing is directly giving Israel the tools to commit this genocide. It wouldn't be able to without the US's current actions.

Fortunately they can't do anything about it.

The US has decided to militarily occupy the coast of Gaza.

Wrong. The only source for that claim is the idf. Doctors who received the wounded said 80% had gunshot wounds.

Entirely complicit. The American base in Jordan is used to strike the resistance. The land bridge providing Israel with supplies bypassing the red sea goes through Jordan.

Indifference about genocide is not just unacceptable, it's evil, you piece of shit.

That Israel is not a colonial state. All it's founders defined it as a European colonial project. It was and is allied with all the colonial powers and projects like Britain, the US, apartheid south Africa, and Rhodesia. Its funding association was called the Palestine Jewish colonization association. It's bank was called the Jewish colonial trust. The Jewish national fund and the Zionist project at large was from the beginning concerned with building segregated colonies.

First, lands were bought with foreign funding from feudal land lords, and their inhabitants were entirely dispossessed, kicked out. Then when awareness of the ultimate goals of the Zionist project crystalized and resistance against Palestinian dispossession mounted, the lands were ethnically cleansed by force and the people massacred. 700 to 800 thousand Palestinians were ethnically cleansed in one continuous military operation that spanned two years from 1947 to 1948.

Zionist leaders fully acknowledged that Palestinian demographics were a core issue to the Zionist project, that the Palestinian population had to be removed at any cost, which is exactly what Israel did. What lead to the Palestinians being defenseless in this situation? Colonial Britain abetted the formation of heavily armed Zionist militias with soldiers numbering in the tens of thousands. The arms of Britain's colonial military presence were inherited by the Zionist forces that it supported. All this while Britain summarily excecuted any Palestinian found in possession of a firearm.

This is not to mention the enthusiastic support of european antisemites for the Zionist project, or its strict early opposition by antifascist jews.

The idea that Israel has any right to exist on Palestinian land is a lie that has been so heavily proliferated, it has to be debunked when it should be paid no consideration at all.

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they're almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception.

I've improved the brightness control of the Gnome settings daemon, using a bezier curve based brightness curve. I've also written all the appropriate tests which it passes. With this implementation, the change in brightness between each step should be perceptually identical, providing more nuance at low brightness and faster control at high brightness.

Would you all like to see this become a part of Gnome? The MR is about 4 weeks old now and the maintainers haven't looked at it yet so I'm looking to gauge public interest and see if users want to see it merged.

Traditional with mice, natural with touchpads.

Interesting story, I used traditional scrolling with touchpads all my life until I spent three years exclusively using a desktop. Came out of it suddenly rewired to scroll like I do on my phone.

Streaming allowed me to discover 1700 songs that I love. It gave me the opportunity to enjoy countless genres. Now I export my liked songs to a spreadsheet so I never lose them. I wouldn't be able to do that otherwise. It's done great things for my music listening.

I'm currently using Manjaro with i3 and no desktop environment. The problems with Manjaro as well as the lack of cohesiveness and missing features from not having a DE are prompting me to switch distributions. This isn't the point of the post but I want to keep the i3 workflow but achieve DE level (gnome level ideally) of polish and ease of use. If you have any recommendations for doing this shoot them my way.

Anyway, the two options I'm thinking of are fedora and nix. Fedora is a safe choice I think, I know what I'm going to get. Nix is really tempting. The idea that I can reproduce my system with one file is very tantalizing considering I already keep track of my dot files with git. My concerns about nix are regarding ease of use, learning curve, and polish. Is it wise to invest the time into learning something so niche like how to configure everything with nix, a skill that isn't portable to any other distro? I'm not quite sure.

Also if anyone has tips for making switching distros easier I'd appreciate it.

Edit: I ended up choosing fedora. I added the pop shell for tiling and this workspace indicator extension. I only set it up yesterday but I'm very excited it seems like an incredible system.
