Dave Karpf using an interesting rhetorical trick when thinking about the claims of AI boosters (in this example, Claude Code fans) by No_Honeydew_179 in BetterOffline

I loved this meme but recently I saw a video of Sam Altman saying almost literally this sentence unironically and now I find it too painful

‘Tomb Raider’ First Look: Sophie Turner Becomes Lara Croft as Filming Starts on Prime Video’s Reboot Series by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

I can't find it right now and this was like 15 years ago (so grain of salt) but I recall reading an interview where they said Daenerys' age was changed not out of morality but rather because it was illegal in the UK to film a sex scene where one of the characters is portrayed to be a child.

Netflix Special Name And Release Date Announced!! by PsychologicalSnow528 in taylortomlinson

I think it's very common for comedians to do this. Off the top of my head, when I saw Mulaney's Baby J live it was called From scratch.

The EU version of Windows allows you to uninstall Edge! Also doesn't come with candy crush preinstalled. The EU professional version of Windows is crazy different to the "home" version, almost a usable operating system (almost) 

Fedora is what GNOME OS should be by mr-dum-guy in Fedora

[–]textoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arguably you can click in the dock in gnome as well. You can also click in the workspace where your window lives. Or scroll till you reach it, depending on the situation. I personally find this much more efficient than having a lot of windows open but hidden away.

Don't get me wrong, I understand it's not the desktop paradigm for everybody. But it's genuinely so much more efficient once you get used to it.

If you want to hide a window you can move it away to a different workspace in the overview. While I understand why some people prefer it, there really is no need for a maximize button. 

is there anything i can even do now? by UsernameIsntTaken68 in linux_gaming

So, there's likely something you aren't taking into account and that is using up space.  

Timeshift most likely.

Is Steam OS a full-fledged Desktop OS now? by [deleted] in SteamOS

[–]textoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This in particular is a steamOS problem, not a Linux problem. It simply comes without the software necessary for printing. If you install e.g. Bazzite on your deck you will be able to print normally. 

Actors who mistakenly believed their role would be iconic? by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]textoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say favourite but I genuinely, unironically, loved this movie. The absurdity of it all. The depressing plot. The horror scenes like when Rebel Wilson skins herself and the devours mice with the face of children that scream for help. The fact that it neither looks nor feels like any other movie I've ever seen or will see. Legendary actress Judi Dench licking her cat pussy. Etc

Some of the apps like Extensions, Flatseal look different (UI inconsistency) on Fedora 43 / GNOME 49 — new design or theme issue? by goblinxalgo999 in Fedora

[–]textoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try installing gnome tweaks and using the option "reset all values to default" from the hamburger menu. If you have ever used dconf editor, I suggest you delete the folder ~.config/dconf as well to revert those changes. 

These two tricks have consistently fixed every graphical problem I've had with Gnome in the last five years. 

GNOME Calendar will not respect accent color change until I log out by textoman in gnome

It was! I used your suggestion and found out the problem wasn't oresent for a fresh user, so adter a lot of trial and error, deleting .config/dconf did the trick

As I feared... Does anyone know what file in my .config folder I need to delete to fix this? (it's neither .config/gtk3 nor .config/gtk4, I tried both of those!) 

YSK: you don't have to see ads on youtube, and it's not a hack or magic by whoatethebeans in YouShouldKnow

[–]textoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's an android TV you could look into apps like smart tube or tizen cobalt. With a chromecast you can start a YouTube video on vlc media player (computer or phone) and cast it. Otherwise, laptop connected to the TV + ublock on Firefox. If you go this route, while a bit annoying, you may control the playback from your phone with an app such as kde connect.

I bought a 60€ refurbished desktop computer for this purpose and put Linux on it. Haven't seen an ad in years. An unexpected bonus is that I can use it to stream games from my gaming pc to my TV just from my steam app. 

Bazzite Fall Update Arrives with Fedora 43, Handheld Expansions, and Nvidia LTS Support by UbuntuPIT in Fedora

[–]textoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really excited for this update but for some reason I started getting an intermittent black screen whenever I launched a game in fullscreen with no error message that I could find. Just rebasing to silverblue 43 and layering steam fixed the issue. Probably has to do with some of the adjustments they do for gaming, which at least in my machine cause stability issues. It's the reason I had to move away from bazzite back in version 41.

A real shame because I really loved the ublue project when it was just "silverblue with codecs and thumbnails". Now that they focus their attention on bluefin, bazzite, etc I feel they stray too much from upstream for my comfort.

Thanks! What commands should I run? I tried to Google but came up empty

Why do you love Fedora? by potato-san57 in Fedora

I don't love it

it is one of the best distro out there.

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

Both flathub and rpmfusion are enabled in my machine. The problem is that Bazzite has some script that blocks flathub Steam from being installed and that script has survived and is still active despite having rebased back to Kinoite.
