Not sure about how to automate it, but you could probably just flip the switch in the system tray. You could also tie it to a power profile.

I wasn’t really being serious with this reply. Your post seems to suggest you want to prevent wifi connection until a VPN connection is established. My suggestion was just to turn off wifi altogether due to some wordplay allowed from the title.

Was going to say this. Pycharm is probably the only paid software I use. With that being said, students don’t need to pay for it, so I don’t have to worry about that.

Turning off WiFi is technically a solution. You won’t connect to WiFi without using a VPN. 🙃

I’d say having these groups coordinate in a platform where government officials are able to gain easy access is better than banning them and forcing them to move to more secure methods of communication.

With that being said, I do think most social media (even Lemmy) could do a better job at vetting what content is recommended to or seen by users.

Mandatory disclaimer: I in no way support these groups or their beliefs.

They’re not becoming Apple 2.0, Apple is becoming Microsoft 2.0. If you look into the history of Microsoft and Windows, you’ll see that they’ve always been this way, but have received more pushback in the past. Microsoft is the OG tech giant empire.

I’m under the impression that you currently can’t install plasma 6 on Ubuntu, as the repos aren’t available yet. That would make option 2 the only possible option.

Not going to completely disagree with you here, but OP’s illustration shows that they were asking about essentially jumping off the red line from the section of the mountain between the pathways from the North and West Blues.

OP simply seems to be disregarding that unlike the terminal at Mariejois, there’s no infrastructure to allow ships to cross over the Red Line. This is a supercontinent we’re talking about here (on a world much bigger than our own). The brevity of the journey through Reverse Mountain gives the illusion of a relatively small mountain, but in reality it’s at least comparable to some of the largest mountains in our world.

Assuming that you didn’t need the rode poneglyphs, a better option would be to steal a marine ship and sail through the end of the calm belt. I’m sure there’s other methods we don’t know of (multiple people who travel the grand line have been able to exit it: Mihawk, Shanks, Dragon) but this is the easiest option ATM.

I don’t use Application Dashboard, but on Plasma Drawer if you right click these options, a context menu pops up and allows you to choose what options are presented.

It’s less that you can’t, more that it would be impractical to do it.

That’s not what I’m saying here. Voting with your wallet implies that you expect to see some change as a result of your decision, I’m saying that you should make your decision with the expectation that a trend towards negative quality will continue.

There are suitable alternatives to both subscription based services and filmed media. If you aren’t satisfied with something you’re paying for, it doesn’t make sense to keep on paying for that.

While Netflix raised their prices, they also have been delivering less high-quality and more low-quality content. The raised prices merely indicated to people that the services they’re paying for to get away from cable TV are becoming more and more like cable TV.

People who complain about a service instead of finding an alternative are the main problem here, as they’re doing nothing to change the situation they’re currently in.
