This is not a good look for firefox in c/[email protected]

I think the best viable option for them is to either offer a subscription model. Or increase requests for donations.

After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma. in c/[email protected]

I tried gnome for a bit. I really liked the workflow. But the over simplification of the interface just killed me.

I got tired of it. And took the things I like from gnome and implemented them in plasma. (Swipe for virtual desktops for example)

I got a local loud mouth who listens to Infowars

I just assume the opposite of what he says is true. So far it's working

I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it's just another chromium browser.

Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.

I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: "Automate the boring stuff" used it in the webscrape sample.

After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.

I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that's interesting.

In the file manager demo, were you able to just click to open a remote file and it opened in vscode locally?

That looks pretty cool. I use an rmm called level right now. It works well for windows clients. But for vps Linux. It has problems.

So I just stopped using it for that.

I've seen things like cockpit and OpenSUSE rancher. Which have the added benefit of managing containers.

As a business. I'm good with paying for a product. Because it will get funding and support. The only reason I'm even considering rancher or cockpit is because RHEL and Suse have interests in keeping the projects maintained.

I'll check your project out when I get time.

Why isn't there any hype on multikernel? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Huawei Harmony OS is multi kernel.

In the sense that it can run android Linux and I think . Exe files. Kinda cool tbh. Not sure if this is in the same boat as the projects you mentioned.

Too bad the sale of these is banned in the USA. I really want to try out the os.

Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection? in c/[email protected]

Perfect, thank you!

Network Manager?

I actually like that. Have to put in the password on fist boot before network will connect to wifi.

Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection? (lemmy.ml)
 

Kubuntu 23.10 connects to wifi, but only after all other startup programs have run.

I'm just curious as to why that is. And what controls this startup behavior.

I've had to change some startup scripts for rclone, to wait until a network connection is present before starting. Other than that it's not a problem.

Question about RMM remote support on Wayland. (lemmy.ml)

I use an rmm called level. The remote support function under Wayland doesn't allow keystrokes or mouse input in Firefox.

Question : Is it that Firefox has not implemented the necessary features to allow input? Or is this more likely to be the rmm?

I reached out for a feature request to level, great company BTW.

UPDATE: So, it turns out that my RMM is working fine under Wayland. Level got back with me because they couldn't reproduce the problem. So I tried to reproduce the problem. Only to find it is working just fine. Whatever was causing that problem, I have no idea. But it's gone.

Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

Was "infiltrated.net" a thing? (lemmy.ml)

Learning the terminal. Found this nice android app: "Linux Command Library"

It lists a number of man pages and examples.

I found this one:

block known dirty hosts from accessing your machine

wget -qO - http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted|awk '!/#|[a-z]/&&/./{print "iptables -A INPUT -s "$1" -j DROP"}'

I figured that domain was a list of spam sites and such.

Googled it. Found nothing mentioning it. Went to the domain and it was blocked by my ad blocker.

Anyone know of it?

Recommend Me: a wireless game controller (lemmy.ml)
 

I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

Weird HP Envy x360 keyboard problem I want to share. (lemmy.ml)
 

First off, this isn’t a troubleshooting post. I just found it really interesting and wanted to share.

Some of the keys on the keyboard are not working. I opened the device and reseated the connector (ribbon cable). It works fine. For a while…

Problem comes back. I had decided to flash the system with new win 11 (not for the purpose of troubleshooting btw, just needed a win 11 laptop).

I used an external keyboard to do this. Which worked fine.

Boot new system. The internal keybaord is working fine. Then stops working. Same problem. Only some keys work.

Weird Part:

The keys which work on the internal keyboard, DO NOT work on the external keyboard. And vice-versa.

I just thought it was interesting.

Do the r/msp users care to move off reddit? (lemmy.ml)
 

In general the users of r/msp are all about reselling propriety products and services. So I'm curious if any of them would move to lemmy.
