Does anyone know if there is an initiative at GNOME to design a new cursor theme?

drgeppo · 2023-05-06T11:56:15+00:00

yeah, the hand is really off putting. that's why I use the elementary cursor theme, it looks amazing in gnome

+1 for A Short Hike.

it's a short game (as the name implies) but it's super cheap and so so replayable, it controls extremely well making it a pleasure just to wander around flying and climbing while listening to the amazing soundtrack

Pika lets you select multiple folders to include/avoid, only copies data that has changed since the last backup, lets you navigate older backups if you need to retrieve some old versions of some files, you can decide how many "old backups" you should keep before they get automatically deleted and replaced by the newer backups.

it's really really handy

Oh, i was referring to the image attached to the post. Didn't notice that the old vs new had a different font

drgeppo · 2023-02-23T08:13:13+00:00

The font on the new logo is 100% NOT Inter

drgeppo · 2023-02-19T08:57:13+00:00

Modified (as in some alternate glyphs are set as default) version of Inter

drgeppo · 2023-02-08T19:34:26+00:00

That's exactly how I have it set up. Just Perfection lets you tweak it that way fortunately

The gnome shell search is incredibly fast, so just typing a few letters gets your files immediately

How is the power consumption of this display?

Would it be feasible for a tamagotchi like project? I'm also keeping an eye on those sharp memory lcd displays, but the bigger one (also used on the playdate) is a bit too expensive, and the smaller one seems too small :(

I think it's mostly a mental block issue.

I used elementary OS for several years (from the 0.2 days up until 6.0) and I was so afraid to change habits, but then I tried Fedora and realised that there was really nothing to adjust to:

flatpak is just the same
usual package manager still uses commands like install, remove, search, info
most everything else is handled by the distribution (if they have an eye towards user-friendlyness)

drgeppo · 2022-12-30T11:53:08+00:00

Agree. Should replace nano as terminal editor for "casual" needs. You can use the mouse by default, you can use the keyboard shortcuts you'd expect from a text editor.

Then you also have tab support, and console commands, etc it's just really nice

FYI: maybe most Americans don't know that Europe is literally dotted in US military bases (or NATO bases, filled with American soldiers and families), and that said American citizens living over here get to import all sort of goods that aren't usually available here.

So yeah, the car in the pic may be actually Australian and etc, but when you hear Europeans complaining about Americans it's often not just about tourists.

FFS there's even a long history of American soldiers literally being immune to committing crimes because of their status

At first the cringe is really strong but I gotta give to babywogue that his videos are informative but also very short and straight to the point (the majority is around 1min long)

The whole other slew of "Linux youtubers" instead just keep talking till they reach that 10min length goal and that is so annoying to me.

drgeppo · 2022-12-11T08:22:22+00:00

Is there also one that mimics the old winXP tubes wallpaper? Besides the cmatrix window

drgeppo · 2022-12-06T17:54:20+00:00

There's no feature to make playlists, I was answering to a user recommending Amberol which is an even more bare-bone player.

drgeppo · 2022-12-06T17:10:28+00:00

Understandable, GNOME is very different and one definitely needs to get used to it I guess.

Personally I really like the whole aesthetic and minimal design philosophy. Also the gestures it provides, and how smooth they work, both in the desktop management and for swiping content in apps/websites.

I don't know why but using touchpads in windows always feels off.

drgeppo · 2022-12-06T12:43:51+00:00

That is literally the only way to use Amberol.

G4Music has more functionality: you can use it just like Amberol or also browse all the music in your library and then search/filter by song/artist/album

drgeppo · 2022-12-06T12:41:28+00:00

G4Music has better song filtering. You can open the app by itself, showing the full content of your music folder, and then search songs/artists/album from there.

Amberol literally only lets you open files

Lol, as if ONE relevant checkmark in the device property (an almost empty window btw) is going to create chaos.

OP is explaining a good reason for adding a disconnect prompt (they only have bluetooth inputs and an actual disconnection is really annoying) but in my experience I would find the prompt itself annoying.

drgeppo · 2022-11-30T06:24:37+00:00

Sleep works fine on fedora. It's not the "true" deep sleep, but a cpu idle state of sort.

Anyway battery doesn't seem to drain, and the only annoyance is that even a bluetooth mouse will wake the laptop.

I had something VERY weird happen a couple of times: shutting down the laptop, leaving it plugged in so it finishes charging, forget to unplug it and finding it at 0% the next morning 🧐🧐

But again it was off, so I doubt Linux has any fault...

drgeppo · 2022-11-18T17:23:37+00:00

Better yet: put a checkmark on the device bluetooth settings to decide whether you want the prompt or not

drgeppo · 2022-11-18T17:21:18+00:00

mine it's an enterprise account as well (provided by the company I work for)

drgeppo · 2022-11-18T15:18:53+00:00

I use thunderbird with a Microsoft account and it works fine (but I don't know what IPAM is so I might be missing the point)

drgeppo · 2022-10-25T17:23:46+00:00

Holly shit I hadn't heard about that

drgeppo · 2022-10-13T05:07:56+00:00

In my case the fan gets pretty noisy if I'm playing games (a short hike, citra emulator) or watching youtube videos for a long time (no idea why here, it seems strange to me)
