Any other autists here? in c/[email protected]
What are your thoughts on the upcoming COSMIC DE? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am beyond excited, I expect it to be my next fulltime DE. I like aspects of the GNOME workflow but I don't like how opinionated it is and how adding extensions or swapping out modules carries a risk with it. you've actually reminded me that I want to install Pop and try out the work in progress COSMIC to see how far along it is.

Pro-socialist/Anti-Capitalist fiction books in c/[email protected]

I haven't read it yet, but I've been meaning to read Noon 22nd Century, it's a series of short stories by a pair of Soviet authors set in a communist future.

Dual-boot or Wine for gaming? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have a secondary drive with windows installed, in case I ever run into a game I need it for but I have yet to run into a game I want to play that doesn't run through wine. I guess it's because I only really play single player games and nothing with funky anti cheat, that's usually where compatibility issues happen.

Fedora because I like it

Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like GNOME a lot (currently using Fedora GNOME with a bunch of extensions), but I'm eagerly awaiting the release of System76's COSMIC since it seems like it's basically GNOME with all the customisations I end up making anyway, and will be far more modular and customisable.

The Jewish Soviet Woman whose pioneering research on autism was stolen by Nazi scientists (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Two decades before Asperger and Kanner, Sukhareva was researching autism in children. Her contributions were likely not acknowledged because of her Jewish heritage.

Are you using Wayland? What has your experience been like so far? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I took Plasma's Wayland session for a spin a few months back but it had too many small annoyances for me to daily drive so I switched back to X11. However, now I started noticing horrible screen tearing in Flatpak applications and lo and behold, as soon as I switched to Wayland they disappeared. It's really frustrating because most of not all of the little annoyances persist, I had to look up how to run Yakuake under X11 so it wouldn't just appear in the middle of my screen for example, but I'd rather deal with them than with screen tearing so I guess this is my life now.

I just wanted to get out my frustrations and also find out if anyone else has had problems. It seems to me Wayland is far from ready for prime time on Plasma.

Is the PC collection any good or should I stick to emulating?

Is there research on how a transition from cars to trains might be achieved? Or any examples? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

The cities where I live where obviously designed for cars, are there any proposals on how to transition cities built to favour cars over to other forms of transportation or examples of cities that have done so? I know it's probably possible but my imagination is limited.

What is your attitude towards rewinding, save states etc. (lemmygrad.ml)
 

My philosophy is basically that I play these games for fun and so I use and abuse rewinding and save states, but I won't lie and say there aren't some moments where I feel like a lesser gamer because of it.

What shell are y'all using? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I've never tried anything other than the ol' reliable bash (with fancy bash prompt to make it look pretty), because none of the alternatives ever really appealed to me.

Monica Lewinsky’s Verdict on the Johnny Depp–Amber Heard Trial: We Are All Guilty (www.vanityfair.com)
 

I know, I know, it's an article by a lib published in a lib magazine but it's definitely worth a read. The online reactions to the trial are definitely indicative of a cultural backlash to the metoo movement and the effect of the verdict will be victims being more hesitant to come forward.

How to use touchpad gestures in wayland session? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I've tried installing libinput-gestures-qt, set gestures to plasma default, set the daemon to autostart and restarted the system and three finger swipes do absolutely nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
