The call button is the handset of a landline. Emails are represented with envelopes. Camera apps have DSLR cameras on them. Folders/Directories look like the ones belonging in filing cabinets. The settings are a cog wheel...

What application is this?

The Earth's surface area is about 70% percent covered by water.

More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth's total volume.

If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.

Strictly speaking, reflected light isn't 'emitted'. A mirror isn't an emitter of light either.

What a fucking dumbass. I'm sorry, but he really doesn't know how dumb he's being.

But I just wouldn't call that black. Because... it isn't. The color is sort of muddy and brownish. So I don't understand why everyone in 'my' camp insist on calling it black and nothing else, if that is really what they also see. Especially when there's a whole bunch of other people calling the same color ~~yellow~~ gold. Anyway, I think some things about this will remain mysterious to me.

I appreciate your answer. But aren't you just in my camp, maybe? If some people in the blue/black camp see a yellowish brown, why do they call it black? And why do they insist it's the only way the image could be interpreted?

What struck me about the whole thing was how people seemingly could not fathom how the colors could be seen as anything other than what they personally saw/interpreted. Were some of them exaggerating, do you think?

This picture made me feel incredibly weird. I see blue and brownish - we can call it gold. Like, I see the same colors you'll see if you do an average color extraction over the image using an image processor. There's no color illusion for me at all. The whole world went mad in two camps and I'm in neither.

I'm trying to reassign the side buttons on my logitech superlight to keyboard input. However, the side buttons default to to back/forward.

The settings window for reassigning mouse input is in a 'forwarded' position, so clicking the 'back' button on the mouse results in the settings window moving back a menu level instead of reassigning the button.

The 'forward' mouse button can be reassigned, though, as there is nothing 'ahead' in the menu.

I've previously had luck reassigning the side buttons using input-remapper, but I'm on tumbleweed which doesn't have input-remapper in its repositories.

Is there a way around this UI quirk in KDE that will allow me to reassign the 'back' button on my mouse?

Or have any other tumbleweed users had luck reassigning both mouse side buttons on KDE?

One other approach I can think of is if it's possible to disable/supress the default forward/back behavior in KDE.

 

... Update: Yes! If you favorite at item, it takes priority in the search results...
