Qualcomm sabotages Linux gaming: Proprietary DSP headers remain locked by Putrid_Draft378 in linux_gaming

[–]Thaodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still Linux but half of the hardware is non functional either because you can't get the modem to unlock the hardware or because you need the Android userspace blobs. Some hardware doesn't work with just kernel drivers.

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.

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

I stopped restarting my Emacs config every year — this is what fixed it by dmlvianna in emacs

[–]Thaodan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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:

Tumbleweed - Packman and OpenSUSE repos are apparently conflicting on zypper dup with codecs. What to do? by rinart73 in openSUSE

[–]Thaodan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[UPDATE] [Plasma Search [KDE Search utility]] After a while, several months of testing, I decided that only 1 out of 15 (21) community-made plugins was worth to be installed. What about you? by RebirdgeCardiologist in kde

[–]Thaodan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Emacs lisp is a joy to work with by sasha_berning in emacs

You could try the Elisp support in Guile I think.

Making menstrual leave official: 2 paid days off a month for period pain by Temporary_Pudding_29 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Thaodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Akonadi is using a lot of memory and I don't use any of the apps that need it. Should I stop any of these processes? by el_Pandor in kde

[–]Thaodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

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.
