A Wild Mimic appears!

as a GUI pleb i just doubleclick the file, which opens kate.

i edit the file and click save, get asked for my password

and all is fine.

I just hope that Trump’s miserable health gets the better of him before he gets the chance to backstab the whole of the western world. As shitty as Vance may be, he comes across as much less in love with Putin than Trumpler.

“you wouldn’t download a car” was prophetic

I agree with you that the onboarding process is complicated for a user that doesn’t want to invest time into learning how the fediverse works.

I think that is a positive thing.

The good thing about the Fediverse is that it isn’t profit driven, it isn’t necessary to grow without end, and because of this it also isn’t necessary to appeal to the mass of users who don’t want to learn how things work here. It’s a filter, weeding out the people who aren’t open to new structures - that often comes paired with the inability to have open minded discussions.

I do agree with you regarding the missing transfer options, but since karma isn’t a thing here, a simple import/export function for subscribed communities and blocked items should suffice, and shouldn’t be too hard to implement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa (Long Range)

It’s a low power, large range connection technology, working a bit like a mesh network. It can achieve data rates between 0.3 kbit/s and 27 kbit/s and enables geolocation services. According to the LoRa Development Portal, the range provided by LoRa can be up to 3 miles (4.8 km) in urban areas, and up to 10 miles (16 km) or more in rural areas (line of sight).

As soon as your LoRa-Device is in range of another LoRa-Device, it will probably be able to phone home.

I had the same plan as you have, switching when win10 goes EOL. but since Microsoft decided that they would backport stuff like ads in the start menu, i just switched.

I’m a gamer, so i decided to give nobara a shot. it works really fine, and i have found only one game so far that didn’t work. Lutris and heroic launcher is everything you need, i do have the VM but i haven’t spun it up since i finished the configuration :-) a few hours in and i decided that i won’t need my windows partition anymore.

If you have a few hours spare time, give it a spin, you’ll be surprised how good gaming has gotten under linux :-)

this is something i cannot understand. my brain would fking die from the seizures the modern, ad infested web induces.

educated guess: since firefox is implementing v3 support alongside their v2 extensions, there shouldn’t be any issues running v2 and v3 extensions side by side in the foreseeable future

From the combined comments it looks like if you are a beginner or a pro then it’s great; if you only have just enough knowledge to be dangerous (in german that’s proverbial “gefährliches Halbwissen”) you should probably stay away from it :-)

It’s the same playbook every time:

It’s a propaganda technique using repetition to foster familiarity, to simulate that there is a large-ish part of the population that thinks that way.

I agree, although i DID spend 5€ on wallpaper engine and i am very happy with it. (just know that our chinese friends are using the steam workshop for WPE to upload/download porn because most porn sites are great-firewalled lol, so take care regarding your filter settings)

Regarding Wallpaper Engine on KDE Plasma, since I switched to Linux a few days ago: here is the repo for the one KDE Wallpaper Plugin i found that worked fine on Nobara. Subscribe to the Wallpapers in Steam, point the plugin to the steam library, done. just know that there are some wallpapers not working yet, which makes plasmashell crash, but no biggie, change the wallpaper and restart plasmashell again.

yep, we’re back at “piracy is a service issue”

Nobara! switched 2 days ago, deleted my Windows partition 3 hours ago because it’s smooth sailing and quite the different experience compared to bashing my head against debian jessie ages ago.

Edit: the final nail in the coffin were the fking backported ads in the start menu. seriously, wtf.

“Arbeit macht frei” is one of the eternal slogans of those who want to run concentration camps.
