Progress bars in Linux File Managers are big fat liars. They say they're done transferring something, but are they really? No.

Stop lying to me, Linux.

Everyone is so up in arms about the 'recall' that's about to be baked into Windoze. Let me remind you that, during the pandemic, this thing was already widely rolled out in Teams and used by almost every company to spy on their remote employees, keystrokes, activity and all. All companies conveniently forgot to turn that off, until now. And no, I am not a tin-foil hat kinda guy, just a realist.

@thelinuxcast Nah, let's agree to disagree on that one :birthdaymsn:

@thelinuxcast It's not better or worse; it has been there for a long time already. The divide between work and personal privacy is non-existent. What's different is the guts of MS to speak openly about it as a feature. But hey, call it AI and it's fine 🤣

Is there a surefire way to get a network printer working on Linux? I know there are DE's that have that all done for you. So it's possible obviously. But how do they get my Brother printer to work, when I can manually? I have CUPS, I can see it. It's identified, I am connected and can tell it's idle and is accepting jobs. But, I can't find a way to get a page to print. I have tried getting the specific driver...

Thought this already sent.... Well I gave up.

@Wyatt in the browser; type "localhost:631" and the ipp config page should open? Did you try that one already?

@Wyatt The Printing Gods are not for mere mortals like us. A firewall (although the printer is already recognized)?

@thelinuxcast Matt, is there a specific extension in Gnome you use to place application windows on specific workspaces? Like Ff always opens on 1, terminal on 2 etc.? I've tried out a couple, like Automove Windows, but I'd like the focus to move with it. Possibly you found a better one?

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Well, exactly, they are a part of my workflow basically anywhere else, including kde. Thanks for the comeback, we'll muddle on 😎

Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.

@thelinuxcast @peterkotrcka But of course we never use those overlays anyway. At least we shouldn't, but that's not IRL 🤣 That's what i like about BlueBuild, i 'bake' those items into my image beforehand.

I think the lack of a good screenshot utility is what's going to get me to leave behind. The default one is not great, and none of the others that work on Wayland work for me on Gnome. Get the same errors with grim/slurp and flameshot.

@thelinuxcast We can't have you leaving gnome for such a banality 🤣 Gimp?

I wonder why Nautilus is so effing slow? Sometimes takes 20 seconds to enter a directory. Does not happen in any other file manager

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Because Gnome knows better. No need for you to have your files in any reasonable amount of time.

A to-do list is both the most helpful and the most stressful thing I've ever made for myself. It feels like I should be able to finish it one day but I only ever get further from completion.

@Techaltar Put finishing it on your to do list?

I just could never quite get used to it. I was always having to do the math in my head.

People who are obsessed with taking notes spend more time looking for a note-taking solution (or creating one) than actually taking notes.

@thelinuxcast An observation that extends way beyond just note taking 😎

The UniversalBlue project is out of beta as of today, after 2 years. Since they are closing in on 14 million image pulls I think they've shown how solid it is. BlueBuild enables you to brew your own, and for the last 3 weeks I was running Fedora 40 Kinoite, enhanced by Ublue and optimized by yours truly 😎 Rock solid.
Congratulations to all contributors, who made this possible. On we go!

Hey / / wm / folks:

How do you set your "desktop" to dark mode??

Is there a simple config change, or (lemme guess, lol) a separate change for GTK and Qt?

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane i use either lxappearance or nwg-look for that. Especially the latter one is great, and not solely for wayland: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-look

The Gentoo wiki is an excellent source of information, as is the handbook. It's almost not for these times anymore, because you have to read carefully and not just skim the headlines. The most valuable information is usually 2 paragraphs down from that headline. But it's there, trust me. How else would I've learned about the gentoo-pipewire-launcher script ? 😎

I think I'm just about ready to do my first reinstall of my . openSUSE has been a bit laggy for me lately and a lot of stuff has been going sideways. I think a lot of it is caused by package bloat

peppe,

@thelinuxcast Well, you're almost a year in, that's the usual moment for me as well to do a nuke and pave. You'll be happily surprised with the regained snappiness.

peppe,
@peppe@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast No, i wouldn't wait that full year. It's not edged in stone, that timeframe. I think it's a sensible thing to do whenever you get the feeling it's necessary. The gains far outweigh the grind imho
