AusatKeyboardPremi, to emacs in Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose

AusatKeyboardPremi, to linux in What’s the best ad blocker for you? - Firefox Add-ons Blog

Pardon me if I sounded dismissive. 1Blocker is good, and so is AdGuard.

I remember those being one of the first ones to do the job well, back when Apple launched content blockers. Wipr came much later, and I only recently switched to it (around late 2022).

AusatKeyboardPremi, to kde in KleverNotes Version 1.0 official release

Joplin’s storage model made me stop using it.

Managing plain text notes should not be this convoluted.

AusatKeyboardPremi, (edited ) to linux in What is/was your distrohopping journey?
  • Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, 7 spanning a decade and a half.
  • Ubuntu 10.04 going up to the release where Unity became the default DE (11.04, I think). Came back to 10.04, as it was an LTS release.
  • Linux Mint Maya because of Cinnamon, and it was terrible.
  • Fedora 16 to 25 or 26.
  • Linux Mint 19

Been with Linux Mint ever since. It just works. LM19 was also around the time when I stepped into Apple’s walled garden with iOS and macOS.

On Safari for iOS and macOS, I prefer Wipr instead of 1Blocker.

It’s lighter, easier to use, cheaper, scores more on d3ward’s ad-block test (but that may fluctuate).

E: added specific browser.

AusatKeyboardPremi, to steam in PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

Hermen Hulst must not have heard of !patientgamers

AusatKeyboardPremi, (edited ) to emacs in Show/highlight invisible characters like zero-width-space in Emacs

Thanks. This helped me highlight the characters. But it still doesn’t play well with vim motions on Emacs.

Here is a demonstration, and below are the keystrokes.

  1. C-v to enable VISUAL-BLOCK mode.
  2. 9j to select all 9 occurrences.
  3. d to delete the selection.

The above vim-motion works on Neovim but not on Emacs with evil-mode.

If anyone wants to try out here is the text I am playing with:


<span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span><span style="color:#323232;">hello ​ world
</span>
AusatKeyboardPremi, to apple_enthusiast in [512Pixels] Logitech’s Mouse Software Now Includes ChatGPT Support, Adds Janky ‘ai_overlay_tmp’ Directory to Users’ Home Folders

That is a good idea! If all the alternatives fall short, this should be the best way forward.

AusatKeyboardPremi, to apple_enthusiast in [512Pixels] Logitech’s Mouse Software Now Includes ChatGPT Support, Adds Janky ‘ai_overlay_tmp’ Directory to Users’ Home Folders

I am fine with paying for the software as long as it provides the functionality.

It would be unfortunate if the only other option is sacrificing privacy.

Thankfully, some helpful comments have pointed out to software that are available to trial and seem to strike a balance between usability and privacy.

AusatKeyboardPremi, to apple_enthusiast in [512Pixels] Logitech’s Mouse Software Now Includes ChatGPT Support, Adds Janky ‘ai_overlay_tmp’ Directory to Users’ Home Folders

I was well aware of the age of the article and original post.

But I saw no harm in prompting the community to ask for suggestions to a software that is adding bloat in disguise of dumb features.

AusatKeyboardPremi, to apple_enthusiast in [512Pixels] Logitech’s Mouse Software Now Includes ChatGPT Support, Adds Janky ‘ai_overlay_tmp’ Directory to Users’ Home Folders

Thanks. The app is free to try for 30 days.

However, I can already see open issues that mention requiring the proprietary software from Logi to be installed in order for all the buttons and wheels to work.

Having said that, I will use it for a while before forming a concrete opinion.

AusatKeyboardPremi, (edited ) to apple_enthusiast in [512Pixels] Logitech’s Mouse Software Now Includes ChatGPT Support, Adds Janky ‘ai_overlay_tmp’ Directory to Users’ Home Folders

Well, the gestures are a primary reason I use the software.

Without the software, the only functionality I get in macOS is scrolling, rendering the buttons and side scroll wheel useless.

Cross posted this as I just noticed the “feature” on my machine.

Any suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.

Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.

AusatKeyboardPremi, to linux in 2024: The Year Linux Dethrones Windows on the Desktop – Are You Ready?

some governments […] have been trying linux as a way to cut expenses

I have been hearing such news for close to two decades but not without news where many such organisations switch back to using proprietary software due to a mixture of reasons ranging from usability to politics.
