Fuzzel: A great dmenu and rofi alternative for Wayland in c/[email protected]

Awesome, will give this a try on a new Arch install with hypr

The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Yep I second this. I've been using GNOME, hyprland and sway interchangeably since 2021 Oct on my system as my main DEs. I recently wanted to give Plasma Wayland a try. Was met with multiple crashes, and freezes that required me to long press the power button to reboot to get it working again.

While the new rootless wayland on SDDM worked fine for me, there are several things in Plasma that still don't yet have support for Wayland. I could never get screen sharing to be reliable on Plasma Wayland, despite having the right portals installed.

GNOME, Sway, and Hyprland are miles ahead in having a stable system on Wayland.

Big Gboard 13.3 update preps stylus handwriting, mini voice typing UI, gen AI stickers, more in c/[email protected]

The reason I switched from Gboard was because it autocorrected a capital "I" to a small "i"

Thanks! Been on the lookout for good HDDs with external power supply.

How are you connecting the two drives to the Pi? Do they have external power supplies?

Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Man that would be great. My business is on Zoho Mail and I've been thinking of moving it over elsewhere. Would be great if Zoho also offered something like Takeout for importing the mails elsewhere

Did you import that email elsewhere? Or is it in a readable format that is even usable? Would love to know

IIRC, that is literally just a skinned KDE Connect lol. Probably even just a name change. Never used Zorin, but this is what I remember either DistroTube or Chris Titus saying.

More details leak about the Galaxy S23 FE's camera (www.androidauthority.com)

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like all the Galaxy S23 FE lenses will see an upgrade, but the most important ones should.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE might get an upgraded selfie camera borrowed from the Galaxy S22 series.

This would join the previously leaked upgrade of the primary rear camera.

However, the telephoto and ultrawide lenses would likely not see upgrades.

Google’s AI-enhanced Search experience is testing more prominent source links (9to5google.com)

The Search Generative Experience (SGE) that Google is testing out with some users shows an interesting future for the world’s most popular search engine, but one that also wasn’t really showing its source links very clearly at first. Now, though, Google seems to be testing more prominent links in SGE.

Since its launch in May, the Search Generative Experience (SGE) in Google Search has been able to use generative AI to enhance search results with summaries related to your search. In a hands-on overview, our Abner Li called the experience “scarily sufficient,” commenting on how SGE makes it easy to ignore source links and just take Google’s answers at face value, even if they aren’t fully accurate.
