You can do trade only with contacts. If you don't know someone it's hard to trade.

They're using GPL in that repo. Is that only partially?

How is the camera performance?

I think the alternative payment systems in the developing countries are actually good. UPI in India is very utilitarian. China also has the wechat thing. I guess the issue with these are that they are not universal and limited to a single country.

Afaik, unless lemmy.ml had patched the vulnerability like the lemmy.world folks, the instance is susceptible to the vulnerability.

Resolving touchpad presses while typing (linuxtouchpad.org)
 

I have been facing the annoying issue of touchpad presses while typing since my last reinstallation. I had never faced a similar situation before (or I never noticed). The disable-while-typing gnome dconf was set to false. The issue was apparently with libinput not recognizing my touchpad as internal. Thankfully, that can be fixed with a quirk file. This askubuntu answer further clarified on how to write the quirk.

On the side note, I figured out how to disable the touchpad while I am using an external mouse.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events disabled-on-external-mouse

Although it sucks that this is not something I can just use the settings GUI for, I am glad I could figure it out before I lost my mind! ;)
