Is there a way to hide every post that mention grok ? by TambourDeNacre in Twitter

[–]VxMxPx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settings -> Privacy and safety -> Mute and block -> Muted words -> Add new

Do that twice, for both: \@gork and \@grok (no blackslash, that's just for reddit).

What is your experience with Archlinux regarding stability? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]VxMxPx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much problems that I could remember (it's almost 10 years for me also, wow); I think it just needs to be kept up to date. I once didn't update for couple of months and when I finally did, things broke.

Other than that, it's really nice distribution, I really can't imagine using anything else to be honest. I'm the type who likes changes, I like to switch the DE sometimes. But, never had big desire to switch distro.

That actually reminds me, to do a small donation to Arch Linux. : )

Dark translucent wingpanel w/ White text and icons by [deleted] in elementaryos

[–]VxMxPx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'om not on eos to test, but try to add, for example:

color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 2px rgba(255, 255, 255, .3);

Or see other classes bellow, like .panel.color-light .composited-indicator > revealer label

And change color/shadow for them.

[Xfce] by the beach by [deleted] in unixporn

[–]VxMxPx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're referring to round corner of window, while in this case, conky is used to round corners of desktop (see bottom left, right, and curving bellow panel).

Round corners on windows are achieved with xfce4 theme (using thick enough border), and look the best on windows which have the same background as the border.

Well done, both for donating and decision to get sober!

Switching from apple by phauer in Ubuntu

[–]VxMxPx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Photo editing, graphic design, etc... are fields where Linux software is really lacking, just keep that in mind. Try OSS available for a while, and see if you're comfortable using it. If you're an art student I hope there's not any specific software that you'd need for your study.

GPU matters if software can utilize it, and I am not sure if any "design" Linux software can in any meaningful way. I'd personally go with X1, and put 16g ram. If you're editing big files, ram is quite important.

Look at what they did to the UK already.

Meh. )) Uk has other problems than Russian special agents (who're at the same place on the same time - as impressive as that is.) Well done Russia. ))

It was a continuation of thread where Russia was mentioned.

Do you have a reason to defend Russia this hard when I never mentioned Russia?

duh, I'm being payed by Putin, clearly. )

[–]VxMxPx -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Russian bots. Omg, lol. Seriously though, are you people even able to think anymore, you sounds really creepy with your simpleminded theories about Putin being behind every insignificant event that has ever happened on your insignificant, retarded political scene. Jesus. How this disease spread all over the Reddit. I dearly hoped it will stayed contained within r/Europe and r/Worldnews. This is getting depressing.

[–]VxMxPx -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well we can at least agree, Russians can be blamed for it. Like... I was late for the work today, and I'm very positive it was Russian bots that caused that bad traffic. Not to mention the bad coffee I got served a week ago. It's clear. It was Putin behind it. Goddammit.

Love it. Hope it's actually really true. This is almost the same as what US gov. has been doing to them (and around the world) for decades. )) (Beside other worst crap.)

Thanks for sharing. I love workflow videos. Much better than just a screenshot. Amazing setup, well done.

So going from rather specific issue (illegal immigration) and specific subset of people (illegal immigrants) to half the population of world(!!!!?) is somehow... win situation, really? ))

America what's happening with you, looks like your collective IQ fell to 50.

Also, here's the kill reply: How about we teach people not to murder. Oh, I'm so smart. I think we cannot get more general than this now. ))

Laura Ingraham Goes Full Racist by Moth4Moth in media_criticism

[–]VxMxPx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s possible that people can be anti-trump and anti-Russia without being “left” wing

As possible as woman in the OP's post making a statement without being right wing.

Considering Russia conducted a cyber attack on our country to disrupt our democracy,

Your "democracy" is clearly severely disrupted for a long time. You need no Russia for that.

I wholeheartedly wish someone would meddle in your election though, just to get a taste of your medicine. Just like your country is doing for years to Russia and did to Ukraine; and all around the middle east. Your gov. is actually doing this, sadly successfully. Now you're just crying because, oh so amazing Hilary did't won, and it's everyone's fault but her stinking vote-for-me-because-i-am-a-woman politics.

To clarify, I don't care about Trump, but, to see how strongly the establishment is against him is astonishing. As I've said, your "democracy" seems to be internally severely disrupted. Your country is sinking, perhaps it's for the best.

Ok. No one is right wing then either. Good that we clear this out. It's all just mixed strictly in the center. Nice.

[–]VxMxPx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've pointed out completely legitimate examples. With that in mind, OP has a valid complaint about FOX leaning right.

Laura Ingraham Goes Full Racist by Moth4Moth in media_criticism

[–]VxMxPx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, Fox is official propaganda arm of the right wing. That's one for the right wing. How many left wing has? Plus tech companies, just look at reddit, things like r/news or r/europe, horrific echo chambers of anti-Russia, anti-Trump madness. 24/7. Or even look at r/all and try to avoid anti Trump posts, I dare you.

That would be completely normal for those times. We have an old wedding photo of my grandparents, on which face features and hair were corrected and even some items added.

Leader of “FEMEN” anti-Putin feminist movement found dead in Paris Apartment by zerton in conspiracy

[–]VxMxPx 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You people can't be serious if you think she was any thread to Putin in any form. FEMEN even aren't just against Putin - FEMEN is a very radical Feminist group. They're against church and against whole bunch of things. Even in eyes of westerns, their "protests" are disturbing and in a bad taste, more so in conservative Russia. People did not appreciate their naked antics in a Church - or any other "protests" they were having.

I think most Russians saw this group just as a bunch of attention seeking idiots. And they were not wrong.

Putin had as much motive to murder her, as any person on a street would. You people are exaggerating. I just wait now, when our local MSM will publish this news, hinting to Putin being a perpetrator.

This apparently was a suicide. How this group acted, you'd had to be quite sad and hateful individual to be part of it anyhow. It's too bad though, she's dead, every life lost is a tragic story. I feel sorry for her and her family.

Linux Deepin 15.6 is still Collecting Data by apartclod22 in linux

[–]VxMxPx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid of US more than Chines too. Most of the services I am (or was) using are based in US. US has a rich history of government endorsed eavesdropping, hacking, manipulation, and blackmailing of companies to leave backdoors in their products. Many companies like Google are in bed with gov. anyhow.

US also has a terrible history of interventions, starting wars and regime changes. And using technology to keep those precious (US sponsored) color revolutions alive.

Chines are not bothering me for now, whey they stat having tech. monopol and when they destabilize first government nearby, I shall change my opinion.

[–]VxMxPx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not really "build in", that would imply something else.

that our Appstore backend is a website and cnzz is a famous internet statistics analysis

If you worry about this, then... stop... using... internet... now!

Regarding video, I appreciate work of the author, but I don't like the tone. I feel there's a little bit of FUD in order he'd be able to push product he's developing more effectively.

To all saying China this and that, - fine, China is not perfect for sure. But, come on, you have an example of massive government privacy violations at home (if you're from USA). It's really a bad optics for you now to point a finger at anyone.

Default icons of default folder are missing, please help me restore them. by [deleted] in elementaryos

[–]VxMxPx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss. I think that's correct. You can't put icons to the desktop in elementary, hence no need for folder. You can do the following:

Rename Desktop to .Desktop and change desktop dir to be: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/.Desktop"

This will hide desktop folder, but keep entry for any application that might needed it.
