I’ve been told that en dashes are for numbers, and em dashes are for words. I have a vague understanding of the usage, which (to my understanding) is splicing phrases/ sentences together. it maybe that you would want to use an em dash when you use a hyphen?

is it just for installing Plath store with Google play services? I used a helper script to get waydroid with microg set up on my Linux phohe, and it preinstalled the play store apps instead of one of the alternatives. I haven’t noticed anything yet, but just to be safe…

til Linux has a handbook…

skill issue (?)

they made Google lens ai, and it SUCKS. I tried 2 queries on the same exact image and it returned completely different results…

looking for alternatives now, though doubt there will be many.

stamets situation? i’m a bit ootl. what happened?

I haven’t visited them on mobile as of late, but you could always click ‘continue’ on the chrome button and continue? unless this is an actual ad that ad blockers block

yeah, that feels like mine too. “I’m creating my desktop wallpaper using digital tools (krita)!” – “why don’t you ask ai to make it for you?”

also the same with YT content. Doesn’t care if it’s ai slop or not.

I’d agree it’s truly dissapointing.

They are talking about how discover has backends for flatpak, snaps, deb, and fwupd. not that they are together in the Ubuntu sense or other, just that they can be managed in the same application. Therefore snaps in discover are completely optional

I’d agree with that sentiment, but at least for me, if we went with all flatpacks, i’d be losing the one ability that I like about appimages, which is as a one-time-use type of “installation”. They’re kind of like those windows EXEs that you could just run in place without needing to install. very useful for stuff like raspberrypi imager where I don’t need to keep it around much

I switched to QOwnNotes. It’s lighter than Joplin since it doesn’t use Electron. The only things I miss are highlighting (have to use an extension if I remember correctly), and LaTeX (mainly use this for mathematics formulas).

no problem!

P.S. You don’t need a WiFi card to use KDE Connect. I have it set up on my desktop (Ethernet only), and it works perfectly. I think you do have to make sure that it connects through the same router that the wired connection uses.

The current Virtual Keyboard solution on KDE ( maliit ) isn’t working quite as much as i’d like. It only works on GTK apps, and only sometimes shows. When it does, it won’t relaunch after dismissal untill you kill it. Add to that it’s not as feature-dense as its windows alternatives.

I hear that they are working on their own plasma-keyboard, and I hope that will fix most of these issues, but I haven’t had the tim to update my system.

I installed power-profiles-daemon on my laptop (and configured it in the settings) a while back and noticed a bit better battery life. Maybe it could also be the kernel? I updated mine a while back and there was also an improvement.

Perhaps for the phone you could try something like KDE Connect. You have to be on the same wifi, but once connected, you can do things like remote input, sharing the clipboard, sending sms, sending files, and you can browse files from the PC.

Some things I have listed here may differ as I am on an Android

I am currently using dolphin, and I would highly recommend. I tried xfe before. It’s highly customizable, but opening files was king of annoying  (you had to manually input the path of the application)
