Alien Surfer

Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.

  • How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.

    There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can’t seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.

    When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.

    How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.

    ~$ ll ~/.themes
    drwxrwxr-x  5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
    drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
    drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
    drwxrwxr-x  7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
    drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/
    

    So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn’t notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.

    I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don’t list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a “theme” impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??










  • I wasn’t talking about HDD sizes, but I know the person to which I was replying was talking about HDD’s specifically. I shou,d have clarified I was talking in more general terms (CPU RAM, NVM sizes, etc.)

    I remember being miffed about the advertising of the HDD sizes. So I think you are correct there. Wish I could go back to the mid 80’s and do some research on my old HDDs and floppies. I honestly just can’t remember, so thank you.

    I hate the new prefixes, not just because they aren’t the older nomenclature, but because they feel ridiculous to speak out loud. If a less silly sounding prefix was chosen, I probably wouldn’t be tainted about it.


  • I agree with you. A long time ago, those of us “in the know” techies could parse the difference like it was a native language. When talking anything but computers, it was always the SI of 1000. When talking about computers, it was always 1024.

    I think the masses were confused and the SI purists felt their SI prefixes were being corrupted. So they made a distinction/standard between binary numbering system prefixes and decimal numbering system prefixes.

    I hate it. Feels wrong because I’m old and set in my ways. People like me are confused because we still use the old nomenclature, and when someone else uses the old nomenclature (when talking about computers), it’s ambiguous to us because we don’t know which numbering system they are using (e.g., binary as opposed to decimal). I still have to ask and half say binary and half say decimal.

    I suppose if they’re teaching it in high school and college it’ll become native soon enough, if it hasn’t already with the next generations.


  • Marketing and advertising. They show a huge, juicy, scrumptous nice quality burger. You go to buy it and it’s a cold, limp, tiny, frail nothing burger.

    There used to be a law about false advertising. But it doesn’t seem to be enforced anymore. Marketing and advertising can lie straight to your face. Its not right and shouldnt be tolerated.

    And Americans are so complacent about it, they say things like, “It’s , what’d you expect?” Instead of demanding what was advertised. It’s soul crushing. It’s like we’ve given up.
