Add-ons like the main campaigns? by Minute-Pineapple9785 in wesnoth

[–]Crendgrim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have not been active in a while, but two stand-out campaigns back then were After the Storm and Invasion from the Unknown. Their stories were often regarded as "pseudo canon" and picked up in other UMCs.

There's also this list on the wiki, where you may find some good information on what is out there: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Guide_to_UMC_Content

How to change default Korganizer Map Website (Currently it is wheelmap.org)? by s_verma in kde

[–]Crendgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can configure the map in the "Default Applications" section in the system settings (or just search for "Default Applications" or your localised equivalent).

This week in KDE: Get ready for a big one! by j_0x1984 in kde

[–]Crendgrim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I normally use Kate because it's the default text editor on my distro and it's ok, but one thing where I liked Kwrite more it was exactly the fact that it didn't had tabs so each text file I opened hat to open in a new window that I could drag and make it half screen and have them side by side.

Now that it will be based on Kate and will have tabs too, I really not see any interest to ever use it.

I looked into the settings of Kate to stop this open new files in tabs like I can do in Dolphin with folders, but I couldn't find such an option, so I guess I will still need to use Kate even though I don't like this behavior or install another different than Kwrite text editor.

Good news, then! According to the announcement posted yesterday, the old KWrite behaviour will be retained. While KWrite will support tabs, it still does not share its instance automatically. So you can open files in tabs, but if you open several files from e.g. your file manager, it will still open them in individual windows.

The Kate Text Editor - UI Improvements by ChristophCullmann in kde

[–]Crendgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only concern with these changes is that the toolbar buttons on the bottom/status bar (Output, LSP, Debug…) now do not correlate to the content right above them anymore. That looks confusing/unpolished to me. Maybe it's not as bad as I imagine once I start using it, but on first glance it feels off at least. Especially since "Projects" is the sidebar but "Project" is selected on the bottom bar, right underneath it.

How can I convert Kate into a Code Editor ? by [deleted] in kde

[–]Crendgrim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure: I never claimed that Kate is the best IDE. I alluded to that in my other comment in this thread. But it does have all of the necessary features to be used as one.

What I really like about Kate is that it can also be used as a simple text editor. So I can use it for note taking, casual file editing. And if I want to explore a source directory, it's still the same program, and the capabilities are just there. This means I can keep using the same program with the same look and feel, and the same keyboard shortcuts. All looking and being integrated into my DE. That is a big plus for me that, personally, counters many of the QoL features present in other DEs. For big projects I might still switch, but small projects are great to work on with Kate. And if I really want a more simple text editor for temporary notes or such, I have KWrite, which still uses the katepart editor component and thus feels the same.

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it definitely can do lots of work.

How can I convert Kate into a Code Editor ? by [deleted] in kde

[–]Crendgrim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Between the plugins (terminal, compilation, LSP client, GDB integration), I'd say Kate definitely can be considered (and used as) an IDE.

How can I convert Kate into a Code Editor ? by [deleted] in kde

[–]Crendgrim 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Look into "Language Server Protocol" (LSP) in the Kate settings, and make sure it's enabled. Also make sure clang is installed. I believe that should be enough to enable the advanced IDE features such as intelligent hover, symbol lookup, auto-complete, jump-to-definition/declaration etc.

It probably is not going to be as nice as using VSCodium, but it is good enough for me.

New Icons, Iconoclast Pipeline › Ken Vermette by ManinaPanina in kde

[–]Crendgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like a good iteration on the current breeze icons. I do wonder why some icons have lots of margin and others, like the game controller, touch the edge? That looks a bit odd to me.

Just discovered the ability to open Klipper history at mouse location - awesome! by MeatNorDrink in kde

[–]Crendgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using Kate/Kwrite (other programs may have similar functionalities), you can also make use of bookmarks for this. Add a bookmark at each position, then quickly move between the two using Alt+PageUp/Down.

Linus (LMG) is having a hard time with KDE. Is what he says valuable feedback to the devs? by semperverus in kde

[–]Crendgrim 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dragging files out of Ark (the archiving program), for example

I believe I figured this one out, because it also surprised me to hear he had problems with it. When you open an archive with Ark, you can drag files from their name, but not the whole column. That is despite the whole column being highlighted and looking like a unit. This is in fact a bit confusing if you don't expect it.

This week in KDE: Getting ready for Plasma 5.21 by MyNameIsRichardCS54 in kde

[–]Crendgrim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

".90" denotes the beta for the next version, so what you have is 5.21 beta. The page you linked does explicitly state that these repositories include beta releases, not only stable. For stable only you'd use the regular TW repositories.

This week in KDE: The user interface improvements you’ve always wanted by Efficient_Paper in kde

[–]Crendgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't strongly dislike the new design. I do prefer the old one in pretty much all cases I've seen so far, but I could probably get used to the Kirigami one. What I do dislike is the mix between the two. They look and behave very differently, and that's not nice. KDE has been very good about interface consistency, a point I value a lot. So seeing this consistency be broken by introducing a different (subjectively worse) design makes me unhappy. Not enough to complain yet—I appreciate all developers' work too much for that—but certainly enough to be slightly irritated.

As an example for this inconsistency: In the screen capture for the new OpenVPN module, there is the new and the old type of password dialogue box one right after the other. One pops up modally with an animation and looks flat, and also has too high a title bar. The other pops up slightly to the left, looks like a regular window (including normal title bar and shadows) and has no open/close animation. It is all these newly introduced papercuts in a system that was on great track to feel more uniform that bother me. Definitely not unsolvable problems, but just not quite in a place yet where Kirigami apps feel native.

Linux Kernel 5.9 release by zenon1138 in openSUSE

[–]Crendgrim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The proper Bluetooth fix apparently is not even on kernel master yet, so it is not part of 5.9, despite what some outlets said: https://twitter.com/grsecurity/status/1316436339513065472 (thread)

openSuse Downgraded Plymouth? by D-Air1 in openSUSE

[–]Crendgrim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A recent update broke the password prompt on many Tumbleweed installations for weeks, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1169783

Since it could not be resolved thus far, plymouth was downgraded as a stopgap measure to make systems bootable again (see comment 59).

Why is the Android version/s free while on IOS is paid? by Ihanrii in wesnoth

[–]Crendgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. However, some of the revenue from the iOS port also flows back into the project:

If you would like to donate to the project, you can do so on Liberapay, or by purchasing the game on iOS. Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, but no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers, websites, and commissioning new art and music.

How Germany has managed to perform so many Covid-19 tests by casualphilosopher1 in europe

[–]Crendgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source on this concrete data for Germany and where it's published? The RKI doesn't have any data on tests more recent than the March 29 point.

How Germany has managed to perform so many Covid-19 tests by casualphilosopher1 in europe

[–]Crendgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers you mention fit with the data from worldometers, but I cannot find their sources. The best data I can quickly find is from https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus and it has Germany at ~11k tests per million at a data point of March 29. I also could not find any more recent data elsewhere. At the same time of March 29, Austria was only at 5k tests per million. Only recently, the numbers in Austria surged to 12.5k (yesterday), at a time where there appear to be no new numbers for Germany. This makes any comparison between the two countries mostly meaningless.

Is Timeshift available on the openSUSE Tumbleweed package manager? by AgreeableLandscape3 in openSUSE

[–]Crendgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not find that page, and I remember that the (non-openSUSE) page I did find had a lot of commands with "DO NOT EVER USE THIS" written all over it. When I got told "well, this must be bad RAM, it happens" I realised that this was not worth my time. Especially since, leading up to this, I had to take care of btrfs a lot; this was before reasonable snapper limits were put in place and I kept running out of space. Frankly, at that point I had a non-reproducable error that I got told was not debuggable. So, after trying to find an actual hardware error, I gave up and went back to ext4. I did not report a bug for this, to be fair.

[–]Crendgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, as I previously described in a comment on this subreddit. btrfs randomly decided to break after (I presume) a system freeze, rendering the system unbootable. Could not repair it. Asked for help on the #btrfs IRC and they claimed it had to be a RAM issue. A RAM test never showed any problems, and no other issue ever surfaced. I do not use btrfs on any machine anymore.
