The ability to have virtual desktops only on the primary screen

sigh. I guess. I think I just need to settle on the fact KDE is never going to allow dedicated virtual desktops per monitor. I really want to use Plasma but this is a deal breaker for me.

it’s already available? CachyOS for example switched to using it as the default like a month or two ago. It’s already out there.

I use bat and It’s a game changer. it’s just like doing cat whatever.whatever but with much more interaction.

I didn’t say it was constant. I only said every now and again on the free trial I’d get an ad. Maybe it’s because I only used it with Qutebrowser. I don’t know. but I know that sometimes I would get an ad on a video.

there’s no point. I tried the free trial of youtube premium cause i’m on Qutebrowser and the adblocking isn’t the greatest. even with Premium i’d still randomly get ads every now and then. IF i were paying for it I’d be pissed.

Now I circumvent this by just opening all the videos in MPV.

where? I’ve lived in Dryden Ontario, Toronto, Kitchener, etc and I’ve NEVER met or known a single person that said they loved curling and watched it.

Hideki Sato was the greatest console designer ever. period. I mean just look at the beauty that is the Sega Mark III

Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause…god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

It’s just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don’t get it. I think it’s some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

KDE is good but please, for the love of god KDE devs, you need to realize that some people…a lot of people actually…use more than one monitor.

Whenever I use Plasma I feel like I spend more time getting my windows arranged correctly across both my monitors with different workspaces. if each monitor had it’s own set of virtual desktops then it would be the perfect DE.

Kid in high school already wants in on the right wing grift. annnnnnnd he’s done it. the other Nazi’s will hold him in high regard like that fat dough pissy boy rottonhouse. He’ll be getting calls from Erika asking him what he thinks of her new leather pants cause we know she likes em young.

good jorb.

it’s just a wrapper for nix shell. so say you want to use firefox or neovim you’d just do “, firefox” and “, neovim” https://github.com/nix-community/comma

before I made the switch to Linux I never used a terminal. never. hell on Windows I even used a GUI for Git. I used sublime text as my IDE. if it wasn’t a GUI I was lost.

Then I switched to Linux and it forced me to actually sit down and learn the terminal and now…now I have a hard time using GUI’s. If something has a CLI or TUI option then I go for that over a GUI. like everything even my music player and video player. my IDE of choice now is DOOM Emacs. my file manager is Yazi. for Git I either use lazygit or just straight up the command line. but for everything else it’s just so much faster and in the long run easier to just use the terminal.

All that being said if you like GUI’s then hey more power to you and that’s fine. that’s the beauty of Linux. you run your system how you want to and don’t let others tell you otherwise. Hell I know a guy that uses NixOS and doesn’t have anything installed other than git and comma. he runs everything via comma. literally everything.

wait you have to verify your grades…from high school!?

shit I’d turn it around on them and say “I could verify my grades from high school for you but first I’d like you to verify how you believe every update you release won’t some how break a majority of users Ubuntu installs”

shit at this point Bondi could walk into a committee hearing, hold up a puppy, douse it in gasoline, light it on fire, and the Democrats would just ask her to stop then say “I think she did something illegal just now, I think so.”

Where were those charges that Ro Khanna was “drafting” up in December against her? Where’s the impeachment? why wasn’t she held in contempt yesterday?

She lashed out at them yesterday simply because she knew she could and there would be zero repercussions. and then AFTER the whole dog and pony show several democrat politicians were damn ready to make sure they got their soundbites in about it.

it’s embarrassing. Bondi should be behind bars right now and I’m damn tired of Democrats telling me, daily, that these people are breaking the law and they’re doing jack shit all against them.

We’ve known about the Housing First initiative the world over for years. Housing First with needs based assistance works, it’s proven to work. we know it works. Addiction and Mental Health issues are symptoms of being homeless.

We know the solution to the “complex” issue of homelessness. We know how to fix it. There’s just no money to be made in doing so. So we won’t fix it even though we can.

sure they’re leaving but…where? what’s a viable alternative?

I mean if I had it my way everyone would just go back to IRC, I still use IRC. it’s great, nothings changed, it’s perfect. combine that with like mumble or teamspeak and you’re good to go.

I checked out Stoat lastnight and it’s very slow. took well over an hour to get a verification email (I assume because many others were signing up) and the current server offerings are minimal. Also a good majority of the themes listed simply don’t work. it’s growing and I’d say it’s the best alternative right now but it’s not there yet and I worry it or the various instances of it could hold up if there was a massive Discord exodus.

Matrix is a no and xmpp ain’t much better.

potentially. it’s going to become more of the norm as more nations enforce stuff like this to “protect the kids” coughget your id and know what you’re doing onlinecough

Also keep in mind Discord is just about to launch their IPO in March so the timing lines up.

they do. desperately. it’s been stated for awhile now.

early internet “culture” to a younger person. They didn’t get it.

In today’s online world you openly post your photo online, where you’re from, what you do, etc and anyone can see it. I had to explain to them that back then (late 90s/early 00s) posting your photo or real name online was a no-no. it was actively discouraged. But then in turn because of the way you primarily communicated with people online either via IRC, forums, ICQ, AOL IM, etc you kinda had a closer relationship with these people even if you didn’t know what they looked like or what their names were.

Also the fact that in most cases a lot of people simply couldn’t put their photos online either because they didn’t have access to a scanner or a digital camera. I told them that one of my best friends online that I would talk to daily I still to this day have no idea what they looked like.
