You can configure Krunner to not use some services that may be causing tthe lag.

It's superfast in my machine.

Also, I think the first launch is the most problematic, so try to launch the background service at start, there must be some tutorials on this.

In any case, Krunner is not supposed to be a key-combo launcher. It's a search engine. Use shortcuts for opening your most used apps.

  • Super+B for browser
  • Super+E for file explorer

...and so on

I sincerely hope that you don't think that group chats, online gaming, or phones are "better" than true social life, because there is overwhelming science indicating that those things are making people absolutely miserable... and we actually don't need science to see it everyday.

That's what I said.

It's very easy to get a Gnome look and feel with Plasma nowadays.

I still don't know why Gnome loves wasting 3 % of the screen on an empty black bar, tho.

But people wouldn't buy the newer chip because the previous one would still have support. THAT is why the source is closed. To sell support until the cow is milked enough and then sell a newer version.

Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It's pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there's always the possibility to make it your way.

Here's a way to tweak the setting to your liking.

They will definitely eat a small mammal, tho. They are bunnie specialisrs.

These fellas are no kitties

Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you'd probably start seeing sponsors.

Then publish on both!

No, I don't usually go physically affectionate with them, male, female, or whatever. I reserve that to close family; unless there is some special situation of course, like loss, or celebration, or something.

And honestly, I don't miss it at all. I get enough affection at home.

RISC-V whennnn

 

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.

I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app...

 

What's your pick?

 

Go and check the link, but essentially:

  • small
  • 2023 release (Android 13)
  • HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
  • NFC
  • 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
  • 256 GB internal storage
  • Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
  • IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
  • LED indicators (front AND BACK)
  • fingerprint scanner
  • face ID
  • FM Radio
  • PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)

I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...

What's the downside?

Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.

It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.

Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.

If you are not sold yet...

Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...

And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.

Will report back.

So, what do you think?

 

I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.

But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.

 

This problem existed too in Plasma 5, but I was so excited that after the update to 6, there finally was a toggle for some kind of "don't ask about this again for this device" but it seems to do nothing.

So is this bug ever going to be fixed? Or is it actually not a bug? What are your workarounds? I hate that I have to walk to my TV stand to press enter everytime I turn on the machine.

I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.

 

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

  • Turn off

Amazing to have

  • Volume controls
  • Pause/play

Nice to have

  • monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

 

I could not recommend AnySoftKeyboard to my mum. I could recommend Florisboard, tho.

Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.

The problem is... no word suggestions yet. It's been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone's keyboard.

I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.

Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?

 

How can I kill this evil thing?

This is probably not the place to do it but I figured it would be where I could find someone who fixed it.

 

I am slowly getting back into reading, and as a minimalist, I dislike the idea of having (or carrying) books, aside from very special ones, of course.

Is there a nice system to organize (maybe even sync) ebook information; and I mean not only bookmarking where you left, but actually notes, highlights, etc? I'd like it to be pretty "universal", so I don't depend on propietary stuff, and I can retrieve those notes 20 years from now (why else would I want to write some notes, right?).

Also, a bit off-topic for this sub, but... how do you read? E-readers? Tablets? Software choices?

 

Essentially the title.

If only S2 (previous connection point from light switch to bulb) is truly required, then, wow, that makes things way easier to install.

I guess electrically it makes sense, I'm just weirded out it does not show in the instructions.
