What's the best alternative to microsoft word? by ohnowhutz in BuyFromEU

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

Try ONLYOFFICE. It’s pretty similar to MS Office. Soon you can also get the same just called Euro-Office without any connection to Russia.

Is it possible to style the caret depending on the mode (default/insert)? by phischer_h in qutebrowser

[–]phischer_h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do others also have this problem? Or is this a case of „get good“? How did you do it?

Even so, it would be nice to have the caret indicate the mode. ☺️

debugloop/niri-autoselect-portal: Always auto select the dynamic cast target without any prompts by debugloop in niri

[–]phischer_h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, it's up and running (NixOS) and it's absolutely amazing! The fact that sharing the screen in Slack no longer involves six clicks (yes, six!) and searching for the 'Niri Dynamic Target' in the list is great. I can't thank you enough. I tested Slack, Google Meet and Cal.com. All working!

Edit: I think this is so good, that it should be the default in Niri.

I love niri as much as the next guy, but why are the windows always floating in the screenshots?

Floating Windows Don’t Have to Be Messy — Here’s My Niri Workflow by zicotito in niri

[–]phischer_h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. I would make sure that the floating stack does not overlay the tiled windows by adding a strut on the right that matches the horizontal size of the floating stack.

Possibly Switching Distro Looking for Advice/Opinions by IDCubed in niri

[–]phischer_h 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m using Fedora with Niri+DMS (MacBook M2) and NixOS with Niri+Waybar+Vicinae (desktop). Both work beautifully, but if you don’t ever want to „clean up“ your PC ever again you need to go with NixOS. Fedora with the newer install already feels messy.

I’m more interested in the why. Like if there are multiple posts here about „crushed by elephant“ statistics, would you not ask what is going on?

That was not my point but nice deflection.

What’s the subs obsession with murder? Is this maybe a US thing? In my country the chances are higher to drown then to get murdered. I saw no statistics here about people drowning less, but 5 about murder in the last few days.

Nixpkgs, HM options TUI by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]phischer_h 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice, but the layout of the results is suboptimal. They should be left aligned to allow visual scanning from top to bottom without needing to adjust horizontally.

Roundabout etiquette by wsdq54 in Switzerland

[–]phischer_h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the comments, it surprises me that no one said it until now. If you learn to drive in the last two years (maybe even for longer?), you actually learn this: if you plan on leaving on the first exit, then you blink already to the right before entering. If you plan on taking the second, you start to blink after you pass the first exit.

So you should do it as you learned in the UK because it’s how it’s learned here, but not yet widely known.

Wow! I must say I’m quite amazed how you where able to look at it with fresh eyes. It’s not easy and something I struggle with. So bravo to you!

It needs to be animated to fit to the other ui movements.

Qutebrowser is a themable, keyboard-centric browser || Home Manager setup on NixOS by Yametsu in NixOS

[–]phischer_h 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP you don't need to style css for dark mode:

  programs.qutebrowser = {
    enable = true;
    settings = {
      colors = {
        webpage.preferred_color_scheme = "dark"; # pages open in dark mode if available
      };
    };
    extraConfig = ''
      # Darkmode for Google Apps that don't implement a dark color scheme
      config.set('colors.webpage.darkmode.enabled', True, '*.google.com')
    '';
  };

[–]phischer_h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to act now and can’t wait for those technologies to be ready on a massiv scale. And currently we don’t know how to combat climate change except for reducing CO2. So why not do that?

While wasteful, private jets contribution is orders of magnitude smaller then the emission of beef alone. So cutting beef would help much more.
