FWIW I’ve read an Arch dev complain that folks using any 3rd party installer are not in fact “running Arch” and should not claim to be doing so.

So far, this isn’t much of anything.

Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.

Some excerpts from this post:

Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.

. . .

In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.

. . .

With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.

Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.

Huh? Is this relevant, or some kind of bot spam?

For anyone else wondering:

Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device. It’s like your personal Spotify!

On the off chance that you truly don’t understand:

The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It’s confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.

Congrats on all the labor you saved.

If you think folks here are uniquely unreasonable you could try lemmy.world/c/selfhosted .

The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there’s currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it’s only a maybe.

For anyone interested, it’s being tracked here.

Well FWIW CodeWars has plenty of Factor katas, and I try to gather related resources at programming.dev/c/concatenative

I’m trying to keep up with the Perl Weekly Challenges, but with Factor, and am posting some Factor solutions to Exercism’s 48in24 series.

By default you can use left and right bracket keys [] to adjust speed, and it should do adjustments to make the pitch sound the same.

To adjust the pitch alone, you can have something like this in your input.conf, customized as you like:

<span style="color:#323232;">ALT+p af toggle @rb
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ALT+UP af-command rb multiply-pitch 1.25
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ALT+DOWN af-command rb multiply-pitch 0.8
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ALT+LEFT af-command rb set-pitch 1.0
</span>

I haven’t looked at this in a long time. If you always need this there’s likely a conf option to always enable the “rubber band” (@rb) filter. And maybe other commands than multiply that would be better.

EDIT: Sorry, I don’t have this quite right. Maybe someone can correct me.

I have trouble with both, but more experience with GIMP. I can’t stand all the little tool buttons with no text. I want the name of each tool always visible on its button.

I have the same problem with Inkscape.

Andy, 1 month ago

I don’t know what I should be noticing there. I can’t see any text for the tool buttons along the left edge of the window.

OK, I see some differences between your two screenshots, but what’s the relevance to my comment?

Andy, 28 days ago

So . . . not relevant to my comment?

Anyone notice non-obvious Wayland road blocks?

I think the last thing keeping me on X11 is window shade.

Andy, 1 month ago

As described at docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwin/…/index.html#titleba…

Shade

Causes the window to be reduced to simply the titlebar.

It’s more about replacing typed text than using shortcuts, but there’s espanso.

Andy, 1 month ago

I’ll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it’s very adaptable once you know what you want. You don’t need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.

Ok next time I won’t use your computer.

Ooh I haven’t seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that’s the name.

The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile

Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?
