Damn I had this on my noscript allowlist

Yes, but often alternatives.

There are Krita and Pinta too

Appimages have no install wizard. And Windows executables have some weird signature verification which Appimages dont have at all.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Thats how packaging works.

On Android I use Obtainium, as the package manager deals with signature verification. On Linux, Flatpak is the only equivalent to Android apps.

RustDesk is the only Flatpak not from Flathub I use, because they have messed up permissions.

You can already try it, all these people just waiting XD it is VERY new so you need to test it and report bugs. There may be basic things for your use case missing.

Really nice, need to test on my Thinkpad T430 once it has Heads Coreboot flashed

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 hours ago

Yes probably agree on PopOS, even though never used it. Also their DE will need a lot of time, I hipenthey dont ship it too early. I dual boot it, actually the Fedora Atomic image.

Yes, Silverblue is the GNOME Atomic desktop but as I said it is not finished. There are many things not done.

What about just, written in Rust?

That is already used in many projects.

I find it pretty problematic how Ubuntu is messed up and still used as default distro.

Fedora has issues with always being a bit early. I prefer it a lot over buggy Kubuntu, as I use KDE, but for example now 6.1 is too early and still has bugs, while Plasma 6 was really well tested (with Rawhide, Kinoite beta and Kinoite nightly being available)

Fedora has tons of variants and packages, and COPR is full of stuff. The forums are nice, Discourse is a great tool.

It uses Flatpak, but adds its legally restricted repo by default.

The traditional variants... I think apt is better. I did one dnf system upgrade to F40 and it was pretty messy.

The rpm-ostree atomic desktops are really good, but not complete. For example GRUB is simply not updated at all. This is hopefully fixed with F41.

Or the NVIDIA stuff, or nonfree codecs, which are all issues even more on atomic.

So the product is not really ready to use, while rpmfusion sync issues happen multiple times a year. This is no issue on the atomic variants, but there you need to layer many packages, which causes very slow updates.

I am also not a fan of their "GUI only" way, so you will for example never have useful common CLI tools on the atomic variants, for no reason.

It is pretty completely vanilla, which is very nice.

Came over night on Fedora Kinoite.

Quite like it, everything is rooound. In Dolphin with the right-click select I can now make a circle!

But why are the lower window borders still square? And that is with Qt/KDE apps!

The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community.

This would allow further improvements like Portal support and making the app official on Flathub.

Watched Episode 7 yesterday.

That was from 2015??? Nearly 10 years ago, which is completely crazy.

Really interesting how it is newer than Episode 3, but uses all of the Episode 4-6 style.

The music sucks, but the visuals are very nice. I love how they made the Lightsabers and Guns so much more realistic.

I remember episode 8 or 9? Where literally every scene was stolen from Clone Wars. That was a bit lame.


Also crazy how their cast is still 80% male. I always wonder if people would be shocked if it was 80% female...

A simplified fork of KDE Plasma's default Kickoff Application Launcher

There are many cases when people might want to have a dropdown list of the other entered values in a column.

And the ability to prohibit entering others.

Classic one: entering yes, no, maybe.

These are not boolean, but discrete, and others should not be allowed.

Do you know how to do that?

GTK is nice but too thick. There is a repo containing CSS for GTK3 to be more compact.

I could not find the same for GTK4.

Gradience from Flathub allows to load custom CSS. The GTK3 one did not change anything.

I use Fedora Kinoite (KDE) and all GTK apps are Flatpaks.

Found this project a while ago, couldnt find it again.

A unique looking Wayland desktop, independent from others.

This is very much a "Windows thing" to do but I would like to preload a Distrobox on system start.

The benefit is that distrobox enter BOXNAME or launching a binary or app from distrobox-export is way faster.

On Fedora Kinoite (Atomic KDE) with Podman, I use this:

cat ~/.config/autostart/preload-BOXNAME.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Preload the Distrobox container BOXNAME
Exec=/usr/bin/podman start BOXNAME 
EOF

This is a KDE specific workaround, as only "Applications" reliably autostart.

In the app menu enter "Autostart" and go to the settings page, the box should appear there.

Log out and back in, go to the same settings page to verify.

I know this is basically a spam tool.

I think to know that you can query some info from a mailserver to test if an address exists.

I would like to find hidden addresses of some companies, for example I want to test if info@companyname.com exists.

Anyone know how to do that?


Update

I learned quite a bit

  • Mailserver block the requests that are used to get a list of inboxes ("accounts")
  • many servers will block mailservers that are not on an allowlist
  • many servers will block servers, if mails were sent to nonexistent addresses a couple of times
  • the message "recipient not known" will not appear often, as servers may "black hole" a senders mail and cut off the connection without sending the status message back

  1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
  2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
  3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
  4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
  5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?
