I was once paid in bitcoin. It was like 1 bitcoin worth about $20. There was nothing to spend it on. I lost track of it. Now that coin would be worth about $100,000. Crazy.

It seemed to more so frustration with entitled users who expected him to volunteer his labor more and more for them so they could get what they wanted for free.

The pattern is a common source of burnout for open source developers regardless of whether their software can be used for piracy or not.

There are always more people willing to show up and ask for new features then there are people willing to show up to do the work to implement them.

Yes. I used to use Knoppix. It was cutting edge for the time. Similar in concept to immutable distros today that allow you have some mutable data storage.

This program may save the city money from dealing with fewer fires caused by shoddy batteries and wiring.

I had a friend who was an old country doctor who lost his everyday-carry tracheotomy knife that way.

Wow, from the same company that sent me a 500-page catalog unsolicited.

For that matter, Xorg didn’t handle this either, DEs or WMs did.

What’s an example of a place with conflicting names in different countries that handled differently?

That’s not a Wayland issue, that’s a compositor issue. Sway for example allows mapping apps to workspaces.

There are other big players for maps that are less visible to end users.

Esri is a GIS firm hired by governments at many levels for map tech.

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

https://bugreports.qt.io/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/QTBUG-93269

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

 

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.
