like we’re seeing with Android’s “Desktop mode”.

apple is already in on this game, as well.

every day i use windows less than the day before. i still ‘need’ it for some things, including work, but on a personal level it’s almost entirely linux lately… but it’s been a three decade journey.

of course gas prices are ‘volatile’ compared to electric. one is hardly regulated, is based on the whims of the wealthy and producers, affected by regional ‘issues’ on the other side of the planet… while the other is regulated in most parts of the u.s.

my per kwh rate has rarely strayed more than a half cent higher or lower than it was in 2000 and is nearly the same now as it was then (public utility and hydro). meanwhile, gas prices the last 20 years look like a sharpie scribble.

it was the tan suit that really did it…

but obama wasn’t the only one…

reagan wore one too.

BUFF gonna be in service into the 2050s. one hundred years after its maiden flight.

make sure you’re trying to go to the http. actually put the http:// at the front before the domain name in the address bar.

if you’re not given an option to ‘continue’ (to unsecure http site) when you try browsing to it, look for a setting in brave (or perhaps an addon) that is forcing secure or https only. alternatively, use a different browser. firefox worked fine here on an old android, v9 or 10, i think–just a warn about no ssl available and option to continue anyway.

well, they are ‘magically delicious’.

as i am understanding, you cannot browse to the site yourself but you can see it listed with a screenshot on the search engine?

it might be due to the domain hosting the web site pictured not supporting encrypted (https) connections. you have to allow unencrypted (http) in your browser.

for the first time in a long time, i feel understood

you will find regex in numerous things that have nothing to do with writing code. i don’t even need to leave firefox to find several instances in the addons i have installed.

you must’a made the mistake of finishing something early or showing-off your ‘optimizations’

i’ll take the excel, but i’m making some scripts to automate some shit so i can screw around at least half the time

afaik windows has no native capability to control brightness setting on external displays. an optional driver for the display may be available via windows update which might allow a third-party utility to control the setting directly.

more than i ever got out of mine.

immutable distributions use flatpaks as their source for desktop applications, it is what they recommend you use.

most (endless os does not) support layering, but they also advise against it unless you have to. even bazzite says to do and try literally every other option, even running a windows binary under emulation, before layering packages. they know their shit better than i do, so i’m not gonna layer a ton of packages and depends for dozens of applications just so i can use a clipboard or drag stuff between any them.

nor do i want added complexity of screwing around with toolbx containers. for one program to try or to run temporarily for a one-off task or very specific thing you don’t want your system cluttered with? sure. i’ve got a couple things set up right now using toolbx. for 30+ desktop applications, some of which are large or pull in a bunch of depends? hell no. it’s not the right tool.

i also do not need or want yet another package manager and binary repos in brew, and brew doesn’t have that much i’d be looking at anyway.

appimages are not really the answer either, not everything has one, some are built upon fuse v2 (no longer supported), and some are third-party builds you might not want to trust.

so, that leaves flatpaks as ‘the’ source for desktop applications–unless you are fond of terminal screens and hoop-jumping, needless added complexity, or want to go against the strong recommendations of the folks that literally make your immutable rpm-ostree based distribution.

the term ‘clipboard’ is not present anywhere in flatpak, bazzite, or fedora atomic documentation.

tl;dr: author got tripped-up over fedora’s flatpak repo and having to click once to enable flathub in kinoite.

but Bazzite is also another one that is actually specifically focused on gaming.

its sibling, aurora kde, is the one i nearly went with. in fact i still have it sitting on this pc’s twin (have two identical ones, bought before the market went to shit). the flatpak-only environment was giving me constant headaches. i ended up on debian, and it’s been an absolute dream. it’s great to be back ‘home’, i haven’t had a pure debian desktop in years.

fedora’s immutables are nice. just ‘not for me’ (right now). i’ll still suggest and install them for others, though, because for basic tasks and newcomers it’s a solid and hard-to-break choice.

yea. the uk had the sweetest of sweetheart deals with the e.u. before. not likely to again if they ever came crawling back.

must be a typo, or there must be someone specific who’s gonna make some coin off it… like a fast tracked product approval and first-to-market while their stocks go up and competitors wait… and wait…
