  • GNOME Desktop top bar - waste of space?

    Jump

  • If the top bar is set up as a menu bar, it could save space on the screen when multiple horizontally placed windows (without individual menu bars) are on the screen. Other than that, I think the general top bar stuff can just be in the bottom bar.

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • The thing stopping me from using Arch is that most programs come out as debs and you have to wait for them to show up in the AUR. Example: when Mullvad VPN first came out it was only available as a deb. How long did it take to show up in the AUR? Who made that available? Was it the Mullvad folks or someone else? That's the kind of thing that concerns me.

  • my reason why you should use KDE+Krohnkite instead of WMs

    Jump

  • I find tiling more efficient because

    1. I can have predetermined layouts per desktop where my often used programs are.
    2. I only have to purposely move windows out of the way if I've made the floating on purpose, and
    3. Less mouse use and more keyboard use for changing the layout, resizing windows, changing to another window ...

    The more I use tiling, the more advantages I find. At this point I think I could use any desktop as long as I had Krohnkite functioning tiling.

  • my reason why you should use KDE+Krohnkite instead of WMs

    Jump

  • I wanted to give tiling a chance. I decided to use Krohnkite for a week to give it a chance. At first I didn't care for tiling but quickly got into it and now I love it. Sometimes to really know if something is going to work for you or not, you have to give it some time. I've used this approach for other things (not all work out) but for Krohnkite it did for me. Also, don't forget to check out all the Krohnkite options.

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • Do RSS feeds count as a "service"? I fear one day they will go away and that will be the end of my efficient way of keeping up with things I am interested in.

    Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.

    Jump

  • Good question. Along the same lines, if your disk is encrypted and you make a simple backup (say using cp) is the backup encrypted and if so, how do you restore from that?

  • how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl

    Jump

  • Join a bunch of communities that you may be interested in to fill up your feed with a bunch of stuff to read. That way, if you want to take a break and read stuff, you can look here rather than on Reddit. You can look for communities here that are a close match to what you had on Reddit. Over time, you can dial them in and hopefully not feel the need to go back to Reddit.

    I never go back and just to read Reddit. I only go there if a web search looking for something in particular takes me there.

  • What crooked practices or policies are you waiting to see happen?

    Jump

  • I was thinking that these companies would be making a lot of money and people with money would love to invest in them. This would further split people as those invested would want the companies to thrive and those that couldn't afford to invest ...

    I do see how being private corporations would work too.

  • What crooked practices or policies are you waiting to see happen?

    Jump

  • Since not many people have answered, I'll share mine even though it would happen outside the 3 year window.

    All pollution standards will be dropped. The air will become so bad that homes will have to have active filtration and people will have to have active personal protection when they go outside. Both of these active devices will run on a subscription plan controlled by publicly owned companies. Can't pay, can't breath. The same will apply to water.

    YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.

  • Do people really not care that we live in a society that favours assholes or are there so many more assholes than nice people that it's unstoppable?

    Jump

  • I believe some amount of people support the assholes because some how they think (or hope) they will benefit by giving that support (especially so many of the assholes have so much power and money.) The "trickle down" effect from the assholes. Oops, might not have been the best phrase ... on second thought ...

    My body started aging, but no one told me I’d still feel thirty inside

    Jump

  • It is a nice read, but it really is just an add for some products on Amazon. I've been had :(

    Should I tell my 13 year old son about my job?

    Jump

  • Stripping isn't a shameful profession. Treating it as such (by not telling your son) just perpetuates the idea that it is. Sure his friends may say something if/when they find out, but kids that age would react that way to anything around "sex" type issues. Best situation, this turns out to be an opportunity to educate him, his friends and others.

  • Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs

    Jump

  • Ubuntu Pro for Personal/Home Use

    Jump

  • I haven't tried it, but the live kernel updates feature is what intrigues me the most.

  • Choosing a Linux Distro

    Jump

  • If you install the latest Kubuntu with backports enabled, you can get a newer version of KDE than the one that comes "stock" with Kubuntu. The KDE version isn't as new as KDE Neons', but still newish.

  • What's the dumbest scam you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • Any religion that ever was, is or will be. Dumb for the people that fall for it, smart for the people that run it.

    What do you like or dislike about lemmy?

    Jump

  • I like Lemmy enough that it has replaced Reddit for my general browsing.

    I don't like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I've read the post for the first time..

    For example, I see a post with a few replies and want to see when more replies come in. All I can do is mark it as a favorite and try to remember to check back and see if there are new replies. What I'd like to have happen is be notified when new replies come in. Without this, I almost never follow up to posts because I don't know what/when new replies come in. This really cuts down on the usefulness of lemmy for me wrt followup information.

  • Anyone noticing Firefox not letting you use the address bar in some windows?

    Jump

  • Something I think is related is that after some time, I can't click the x on a tab to close it, but I can do middle click (L & R at the same time) to close a tab. When this happens, I also can't get into the address bar. Just started seeing this with the last update (currently on 139.0.1) snap version.

  • Writing code

    Jump

  • I feel the same way. That's why I'd like to be able to make myself invisible.
