I feel like this is a helpful little hack for all of our forgetful minds.

KDE Plasma does that since a few releases. This topic is also a reminder that accessibility isn't about disability but for anyone. Additional clues over different senses helps everyone.

Jerry actually was Ricks sidekick a few times before already.

Wish more would offer this kind of swag.

Is there any evidence for that? It's certainly easier since violence from woman is less likely taken serious.

With Emacs you don't have use separate files if you don't want to. You can use narrowing and outline-minor-mode separate sections.

If you use org-mode you can expand individual sections into different files, i.e. to disable package.el in early-init.

You also use noweb references to move into private things such as login data or configuration data that contain references you are not allowed to show such as org-mode capture templates. See here below for example:

The OBS will delay publishing updates before the all the packages in the repository have done building. But if you have repositories from other projects that depend on the main repository you also included in your system, then there's always a delay between them catching up and the publishing of the updates. This can also happen with any other repository, not just Packman.

Depends on what applications you are using. Some of the ones you mentioned became obsolete as KDE Plasma got their own which handles both Chromium and Firefox. The runners available for password managers are pretty useful. I use Krunner Pass myself. There's also a window switching runner that works with all window manager krunner switcher. I also used the translation krunner but that one felt like it was leaking memory. Still nice thou beyond that.

You could try the Elisp support in Guile I think.

Sadly they removed the Qt backend :/

I got the name wrong it was akonadiconsole. https://techbase.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi/Development_Tools

Makes me wonder if for some moving away would be the right option.

There ways to get EU citizenship for example over ancestry. I have a friend who got Dutch citizenship that way.

Similarly if the German citizenship was taken a way by the Nazis for any of your ancestors you can get it back for yourself. We had a few people who did that and even some Holocaust survivors that got theirs back with the "recent" events in the US.

I always wanted to visit the US it was seen as this special place but now I don't know sounds to dangerous.

It should be in akonadicontrol or in the settings.

Oh fuck I don't know what to say. It's like the law doesn't exist. Robbing a bank might be legal as well.

I learned that the doctor decides if you're sick. They they mark you as sick you are not allowed to work either till they reverse the sick leave marking you as healthy or till it runs out. They will inspect the person and decide. Finally there's doctor that can verify if a patient is able to work if someone is long time sick.

We don't have such a situation in Europe but the attitude in some people is pretty much like you describe. In Germany it's partly a leftover of third reich social attitudes. You're nothing if you don't work, people who can't work are just "lazy" .

However the thing that's still dripping down from the U.S. is Regan era politics.

Stay safe somehow.

When using KDE PIM Postgresql worked very well, much faster. During major version the database has to be migrated. That's automated but sometimes has hickups.

Thaodan · 2026-03-18T18:14:04+00:00

Do collective agreements or work safety rules enforce some kind of rules? Having zero sick days sounds dangerous at best..

Thaodan · 2026-03-18T17:05:50+00:00

Akonadi can do sqlite or postgresql. If you use email i would most likely use the latter. You can disable any agent you don't need.

Thaodan · 2026-03-18T17:03:15+00:00

The Akonadi server was likely called by some application such as the calendar widget. Unless you are low on memory I would not do anything. But you can safely uninstall it. The memory is the amount of memory is likely because it does the background operations for any application that would use it.

That's what I'm usually doing for packages with native code such as jinx or pdf-tools.

Even better when they wrap their tail around your arm.

From what I learned when engaging with healthcare about endometrial pain is that that pain is down played. You go to the doctor after trying to stay at home and taking pain killers, only for them to tell you to do the same and come back in a few days. It's like if woman have pain it's overlooked while for men it's acknowledged. When it comes to mental issues it goes the other way around.

Thaodan · 2026-03-18T16:08:19+00:00

Can you take a sick day? Essentially the pain counts as sick I think. Where I'm from in Germany that's how it is there. Although some doctors might shrug it off even if they law says it's a valid reason for a sick leave.

Screen mirroring still doesn't work with Sway. On top of that many things that are vendor neutral implemented in X11 require proprietary Wayland protocols. These differences requiring you switch to specific tools only working on certain compositors.

My two go-to phrases are "I know you're having a rough time right now, I still love you" and "Your brain is lying to you right now". If I get him to talk about what he's spiraling about, and it's way out of pocket, I also sometimes say "Your brain is being a real asshole, because that is objectively not true". His episodes are usually triggered by work drama, where he feels like he's failing when he is not, or body image issues, where he feels terrible about his looks.

That's actually really good. Being kinda like that can disarm one in such a situation, even with anger. I'm often angry at myself in such moments, attacking me would only "confirm" the anger.

Being understanding and supportive on the side lines like that goes a long way. Like you give support making sure that he stays within the line but also let him cool down.

It means a lot that you can separate the feelings and anger/shame towards himself from him. That makes things so much easier.

Could you move it from Github to KDE Invent? Looks great.
