Given the importance placed on CLI usage by many in the Linux community it's weird that a terminal isn't open by default on many Distros. Today I remembered that while on Antergos a few years ago I'd installed a terminal that you could call simply by pressing a hotkey.

Enter Yakuake ("Yah-quake")

Yakuake smoothly drops down from the top of your screen in response to the hotkey (the default is F12) and voila!: a ready to use terminal! Add it to Autostart and it'll run whenever you run a session of Linux, forever saving you having to load Konsole (or whatever) every time you want to use it.

And as I'm running KDE the fact it uses Konsole tech means it has that familiar look and feel, but shows Session tabbing by default foregrounding the ability to run separate terminal sessions and putting it within easy reach of GUI users and a mouse-click.

What Terminals do you folks run with?

@SirBoostALot @Uraael gnome terminal and konsole both have tabs. Why is iTerm2 so important?

@SirBoostALot @Uraael ctrl+shift+t to open a tab. Profiles down below.

fascinating review of studies on Internet use and cognition — including potentially negative effects on concentration and memory — found by way of an excellent article in Nautilus titled "Viva la library"

@gamingonlinux sorry you got that email Liam. It does suck when you get negative info like that.

"It appears that the upstream kernel endeavor on Rocky Linux may be gated to their commercial customers as opposed to making all the assets freely available and just gating their commercial support."

Where is my surprised face... oh, here it is: 😯

@sesivany outright copying the business model they criticized. I wonder if they will copy and paste our legal language on terminating support too.

sageofredondo,
@sageofredondo@mastodon.social avatar

@purpleidea @sesivany are you sure you are not confusing public with a requirement to distribute the source code under the GPL? Red Hat is complying with that.

What the clones were upset was is that we were providing debranded access to the source code for them for the main release of RHEL to easily repackage and we stopped. They criticized us for that, claiming we went closed source. They are now doing the exact same thing. Only providing source code to those that got binaries.

    @jwildeboer @senficon huh interesting. Last I read about this; databases were not eligible for copyright in the US.

    Do you have fair use?

    @popey A mix of option 2 and 3. Firefox account syncing is the reason I stay on FF because Chrome syncs them out of order for me if I try to organize them.

    Let's kick this fine Monday morning off with a issue filed against curl 7.37.0, released in May 2014...

    @bagder 🙂

    I am half tempted to ask them to pay for a copy of RHEL7 and open a support ticket with Red Hat. 🙂

    Debian unstable, welcome to the APT 3.0 development series.

    @juliank cool! Always felt Apt needs more work. LTT isn't the only who had the apt uninstall his desktop on him. 🙂

    @jbzfn no, they aren’t “abusing” anything.

    And, naturally, FreeBSD uses a BSD license, not MIT as the post claims…

    sageofredondo,
    @sageofredondo@mastodon.social avatar

    @hyc @msw @jbzfn Not sure where you got that. Mostly it claims that the GPL keeps research from going to the commercial market.

    1. Red Hat has been quite successful 'commercializing' GPL software. 🙂 What they really mean is putting a restrictive EULA on it.

    2. The GPL really helps as a kernel developer. If a vendor makes a driver it has to be GPL compatible with source code. If they never upstream it and it is important, I can upstream it myself and benefit the wider community.

    That's some truly classy PR from Playton. I put up an X/Twitter poll about interest in the web3 blockchain handheld that's going to use their OS...their reply was...

    @popey your experience sounds similar to me. Except with Red Hat health care I was able to see someone in two months and a prescriber in a month.

    As you get older, ADHD gets worse. I have dual Autism and ADHD inattentive.
    Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant. Lisdexamfetamine is a stimulant. Surprised they also did not suggest Adderall XR. I tried 3 stimulants; then tried Atomoxetine and it seems to work well for me so far. Still learning myself.
