oh neat. so that means this ruling will be enforced right? …right?

of course it won’t. it’s another dog and pony show from the US.

Plasma has improved A LOT in the past year. Like a year ago I hated it. now? I daily drive it. I hate to use this phrase but everything just works.

I was kinda disappointed with the 6.6 release as I really just want dedicated virtual desktops per monitor but their compromise actually isn’t that bad. I just had to turn off animation for changing workspaces and it’s fine. Even tiling works A LOT better on Plasma than it used to and dare I saw kinda works better/is more smooth than Sway and the like and I’m not even using krohnkite. you can quickly toggle the splits for windows and even do vim style navigation between windows. you can even do vim navigation with windows that aren’t tiled.

Plus the stuff they have packaged in is just better than most alternatives out there. I love Konsole. it has everything I need. and Kate is also a fantastic IDE you can REALLY customize that is slept on by many people. Dolphin is great too. It’s nice having a DE that just has all the stuff you need right out of the box and you don’t really have to change any of the defaults.

Canadian here. We find you annoying. Daily, multiple times a day, we’re just slammed in the face with your bullshit. “What Trump is doing is illegal” or “Democrat Sen. says what Trump has done today is illegal” and then…fuck all is done about it. Meanwhile we wake up this morning to see former Prince Andrew has been arrested and we kind of just throw our hands up like “ok…now your turn”

Again, another example FROM TODAY, Trump has taken 10bil from the US and put it into his “Board of Peace” essentially controlling his own personal slush fund. Right on queue Democrat Senators and Reps are saying “that’s illegal!” ok…you going to do something about it THIS time? I’m still waiting on Ro Khanna to “draft up” those charges against Pam Bondi that he said he was going to do last December.

It’s all talk and very little, if any, action from your leaders and it’s annoying. And ALL of them are complicit in this including your favourites be it Bernie Sanders or AOC or Crockett. They all make sure they get a good sound bite or twitter post in and then…nothing, no follow through. another couple reps list off names from the files and then…nadda. One just straight up came out and said “Trump raped kids” soooooo where’s that impeachment? arrest? no? nothing?

And the infuriating thing is your Republicans NOW know they can get away with it. Again look at how Bondi behaved. many Americans on here and on reddit were saying “she’s acting that way cause she’s scared” no she wasn’t. she’s was acting that way cause she knew she could get away with it.

And to TOP it all off you still have your fellow americans posting daily things like “I think we’re the baddies now” or “we’re starting to become fascist” or “I don’t like America either”. You just don’t get it. You still have yet to accept the fact that you currently ARE a fascist country. you ARE the Nazi’s. you ARE the enemy. Even this post “Hey guys look how much Canada doesn’t like us NOW” now? NOW!? newsflash, we haven’t liked you for a good long while. We’ve TOLERATED you. We’ve rolled our eyes at you for decades. Even the insulting posts people made of “We’re sorry Canada”. no, stop. That’s like saying you chose to make a sandwich out of turds and puke instead of ham and cheese and then you gave the sandwich to the world and after we took a bite you said “oh, my bad, I shouldn’t have done that huh?” It’s like NONE of you get it until WELL after the fact and in many cases a lot of you STILL don’t get it.

We don’t want to hear your apologies anymore, we just want you to accept the fact that you’re Nazi’s, you’re the bad guys and MAYBE you’re going to consider fixing the mess you made. But as a Canadian who has had the unfortunate “pleasure” of living above you I know you’re not going to. I know you might fix the current problem but a few years down the line we’ll be right back at it again. I’ve lived through your Reagan and Bush years (multiple) you keep ramping up the worst you can be and I’m more scared of the person you elect AFTER Trump.

No, we don’t like you, and many of us never have.

The ability to have virtual desktops only on the primary screen

sigh. I guess. I think I just need to settle on the fact KDE is never going to allow dedicated virtual desktops per monitor. I really want to use Plasma but this is a deal breaker for me.

it’s already available? CachyOS for example switched to using it as the default like a month or two ago. It’s already out there.

where? I’ve lived in Dryden Ontario, Toronto, Kitchener, etc and I’ve NEVER met or known a single person that said they loved curling and watched it.

Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause…god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

It’s just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don’t get it. I think it’s some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

it’s just a wrapper for nix shell. so say you want to use firefox or neovim you’d just do “, firefox” and “, neovim” https://github.com/nix-community/comma

before I made the switch to Linux I never used a terminal. never. hell on Windows I even used a GUI for Git. I used sublime text as my IDE. if it wasn’t a GUI I was lost.

Then I switched to Linux and it forced me to actually sit down and learn the terminal and now…now I have a hard time using GUI’s. If something has a CLI or TUI option then I go for that over a GUI. like everything even my music player and video player. my IDE of choice now is DOOM Emacs. my file manager is Yazi. for Git I either use lazygit or just straight up the command line. but for everything else it’s just so much faster and in the long run easier to just use the terminal.

All that being said if you like GUI’s then hey more power to you and that’s fine. that’s the beauty of Linux. you run your system how you want to and don’t let others tell you otherwise. Hell I know a guy that uses NixOS and doesn’t have anything installed other than git and comma. he runs everything via comma. literally everything.

EVE Online. still after all these years (23) it’s still a beautiful game that I god damn am still addicted to.
