The penguin key or windows key is called the super key, should you ever come across that term

From what I remember, some of those airgapped environments still use windows XP, so they’re not bothered too much by this

Any company who recognizes their M.O. and has a backend dev quitting in the past days probably knows who this is. Considering the despicable things they do, I would be careful if I were OP.

Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro while Kubuntu has point releases. I’m not sure which is better for new users. I’m leaning towards rolling, it stays up to date.

Same layout for me, I hadn’t used it in a while, feels like it wastes some screen real estate this way.

Preface this by saying it has been a few years. I used to have a windows phone and when the platform died I used a “dumb” phone for a year until my wife told me to get an Android device.

I was using a Nokia ngage qd. It’s a small phone that has a peculiar form factor, shaped like a controller. It was made as a gaming handheld, so it has a bunch of gaming apps and over the year a lot of Homebrew stuff. It definitely came from a different era. You need to explicitly lock the phone otherwise it would only lock the keys to prevent pocket dialing. Locking the keys does not require a code to unlock, only the manual locking does iirc.

Because it has games, it was still a great time killer in situations. It’s has a small proprietary jack, but I have the original earphones so could listen to music (no mp3, but ogg).

Biggest pet peeve was not being able to sync my calendar. It uses a protocol I couldn’t find a setup for. Device also utilized a WAP browser, which is useless now.

Calling and texting: great. Games: great, sometimes crashy or won’t load. Homebrew: hit and miss, depending.

The pinephone has slightly better specs, is equally outdated, but the price point is a lot better.

Let’s see how this plays out with windows 11 😄

My screen is wider than it is tall. I have more horizontal screen real estate than vertical, why are you forcing me to waste vertical space? I wanna move it to the left again…

This is great! My computer is dated but still works great for a lot of purposes. As long as it chugs along I don’t really want to replace it. With that in mind, finding games is sometimes tedious.

What the fuck?

Yes, definitely and I do run into that when I search my history

You can’t really blame an AI company from dogfooding their own products throughout their branches. It would send the wrong signal if the CISO of an AI company didn’t use their own AI, quite the opposite.

I’m not sure what you mean. I gave 3 different commands…

I use $_ a lot, it allows you to use the last parameter of the previous command in your current command

mkdir something && cd $_

nano file
chmod +x $_

As a simple example.

If you want to create nested folders, you can do it in one go by adding -p to mkdir

mkdir -p bunch/of/nested/folders

Sometimes starting a service takes a while and you’re sitting there waiting for the terminal to be available again. Just add --no-block to systemctl and it will do it on the background without keeping the terminal occupied.

systemctl start --no-block myservice

I can recommend tmux also as an alternative to screen

More importantly, what brand, type and/or specs. It’s easy to get cheap disks with crap performance. I have a few around that we quickly dubbed “Super Slow Disks”.

Not in the popup dialog, but in the text tool properties (on the left under the tools after you select the tool). You can scroll through the fonts there and your selected font will apply to the currently selected text.

My biggest pet peeve is having to scroll past 5000 versions of Noto font.

Was looking for some wireless speakers and “the good ones”, or in other words the more popular recommended brands, all require an app. Nah removed, use open standards, I just want to connect. Bluetooth exists for a reason.
