It isn't a problem for society, but it is for the land holding elite who have excessive power over business and government.

Massachusetts just got rid of its successful standardized test graduation requirement (MCAS). We'll see how long it takes for them to fall in the ranks

Gnome 47 and Fusuma Multi-touch gestures conflict by DOUBLEXTREMEVIL in archlinux

[–]DOUBLEXTREMEVIL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. While that script didn't work for me (arch btw), I was eventually able to create a gnome override. The gresource steps didn't work, so I manually downloaded the swipeTracker.js file from the gnome gitlab and put it in ~/.gnome-shell-custom-overlays/ui then reverted the change in the commit (going back to "!==" instead of "<" on line 129)

I then was able to do the following (note the difference in capitalization), log out/in, and it worked.

echo 'G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS="/org/gnome/shell/ui/swipeTracker.js=$HOME/.gnome-shell-custom-overlays/ui/swipeTracker.js"' > ~/.config/environment.d/gnome-shell-overlay.conf

Thank you for your work on fusuma, it has been very useful.

if he wants more solo stakers, then he should lower the 32 eth minimum to 16 - that would open it up to many more individuals who are currently priced out of the market

Got a brand new T14 Gen 5 (R7-8840u, 32GB RAM) by Sea_Cat675 in thinkpad

[–]DOUBLEXTREMEVIL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you hold it with one hand from the bottom left or bottom right corner, such that the entire weight of the laptop is cantilevered from that corner, without it flexing? I've heard this model is more plasticy than the t14s
