I used it for a few years on Oneplus Nord, and a few days ago switched to pixel7 with LineageOS. First impressions are that e/os was much more usable out of the box.

I surely have worse experience with banking: Revolut and SmartID app just refuse to work due to rooted phone (worked well on e/os). Other bank app is somewhat more broken - on e/os it didnt fully load but at least showed notificatioms on each transaction, now doesnt and is useless.
Could be due to newer android version on LineageOS though, I didnt investigate that.

Not "always". In fact almost never where I live. And if they do, it is very likely we witness some glorious russian culture on display.

I used e/os by Murena for a few years already on my Oneplus Nord. Except for banking and some google stuff it works really well. Now that phone is almost dead, and I plan to switch to Pixel 7 pro and probably LineageOS.

I would expect murena's homebrew phones to be lower class, so if you dont want to flash/install OS yourself, you can also get a refurbished pixel 7 : https://murena.com/shop/smartphones/premium-refurbished/murena-pixel-7-refurbished/

If by "seamless" you mean that wireless data speeds can soon match locally attached storage, there will still remain a political question of autonomy. We might some day have light terminals without storage or even serious processors with all the data and work still done in our cellars garages and and attics via 8G or whatever grade connection. If there will be enough demand for market and politics for devices to be available, of course. So yeah, I think, culture and politics hold the answer.

I was lucky to find https://purelymail.com/ which fit my budget and needs - primarily supporting multiple domains for my family and personal projects without extra costs.

You might get surprised - I looked at default KDE, Gnome and docs for a couple WMs. Yet my question is not "how do I get different backgrounds", but rather, "how come is this the usual thinking"? Why? Are there serious drawbacks technically or from UX perspective that I didnt think of?

 

Virtual desktops are here for a long time, and I never got comfortable with them. One of the main reasons that it takes effort to think and assign different desktops for different workflows/situations, and when you do that - it is still not easy to track in which desktop you are at the moment. Usually you have to look for some little number or highlighted square somewher in the taskbar, which is a distraction.

For a "space" to be identified as particular / different, it should be easily recognizable. A different background or even colour scheme is an obvious solution. But in practice most virtual desktops on Windows and on Linux don't even have a possibility to have a different backgrounds, not even speaking of other differences. Why?

Why downvoting? It is good for community to know this, even if content is far from cheerful. Expressing criticism in comments does more for public awareness than making the message less visible.

Given most of water comes from public facilities it is structurally just unsanctioned and ineffective transmission of power from shared pump to private generator. Would be a simple energy theft if you didnt pay for water. A waste of water and energy anyway.

I also just use KDE connect on windows to exchange needed files or clipboard. Devices need to be on same LAN or VPN during exchange. Pausing PC media during calls is a nice bonus.

For syncing photo gallery and Obsidian I use Syncthing.

average working age?

 

I think that would be not only appropriate but also helpful to frame Ukraine as "defending their land" instead of "being at war". So why dont politicians and journalists primarily use this word?

 

I'm having hard time to help my parents troubleshoot their equipment remotely, when they try to observe the objects both with their eyes and manipulate phone camera for our video chat simultaneously. You can get sick of camera shaking, and they are getting tired too. I thought maybe if they had a VR headset and could stream their view directly to the chat, it could be helpful. Maybe I could even somehow point at things in their view to tell, for example, which cable to check. I do not own a headset, and I couldnt find info of such tools via simple/AI search (maybe wrong keywords). Maybe you know of such domestic solutions?

Hi all, I use vector shapes a lot, and manipulate their colours quite often. Changing a colour for vector shape already takes wayy too many clicks, but changing it to another colour sampled from the image seems to be really terrible. Colour sampler (P) does not seem to work when a palette is open. Fill tool seems to work only for raster data. The only way I found around this is to add a custom swatch to a palette and then pick it back from vector fill editing palette. Maybe you found some more usable procedure?

 

My parents are getting a new tv, and are asking for recommendation. I think all I can influence is the brand/model (not realistic to propose rpi and more complex systems). I instinctively avoid google/android and lean towards anything else open source, so probably LG WebOS.. But I had bad luck searching for more detailed comparisons. Maybe you have experience or opinions?

 

SEB, a Sweden based bank is now displaying warnings on its web app when opened in Firefox, recommending to switch to Chrome. Do they have any obligations to comply with web standards? Or is it just a question of competitiveness in the market?
