We have so many unused potential binds already, though. Knowing the way tech goes these days, they’ll find a way to hard-code the key to one macrob and that’s it lol

I don’t see an issue with a “super” key. But what would a copilot key bring that’s of any value? The super key already does everything you’d need.

They asked how to do it, I wanted to make sure that they knew that an application not existing in the repo doesn’t mean the application isn’t actually available.

Ah, so “Company provided service, but then ditched it and now theatres are left to buy more expensive (and likely locked down) hardware in hopes the next company doesn’t pull the rug on them again”

So Sony sold them projectors, locked down their media, and then forces theatres to buy new projectors every x number of years to keep up with DRM? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary waste…

How do you ensure you have the right dependencies if you do that?

Oh dear… So anyway lol

sudo synaptic for a graphical package manager.

Otherwise, just use sudo apt-get if the program you want isn’t there, you may need to download the source and compile it yourself

“Sony is having trouble with their projectors”

Why not call it out for the bullshit that it is? “Sorry, but greedy bullshit capitalism has failed you as a customer. The lockouts they’ve put on their media to punish the honest users is doing its job once again to punish you. We sure hope this doesn’t lead you to find alternative ways to enjoy media without all of the DRM lockouts and garbage to punish you.”

I’ve been using T-UI for like ever. Best version is the f-droid or GitHub version. The Google Play one is super nerfed. I doubt many people want a command-line launched, though

I hate all three. Why do we need to the same dependencies in a thousand different places? There’s gotta be something better between typical software repos and these stupid packed applications.

Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.

If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.

It’s still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they’ll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.

From the screenshot, an ugly as fuck theme and a useless start menu.

I suppose it the menu would probably actually be functional in Linux and not just a way for them to spam Bing.

All the shit I hate about windows packed into a Linux environment… I guess maybe it will help Windows users switch over?

One of the routes I take tries to get me to make an illegal crossing through a busy street to get to a bus shelter on the other side.

A short walk down the sidewalk, there’s lights with a crosswalk. And just on the other side there? A much safer to access bus shelter that the same bus stops at.

There’s seemingly no way to report this stupid route, either.

I don’t mind it, but I don’t really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don’t even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead… No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.

I’d probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.

Some songs get completely yanked. You can list them, you can scrape them with the Spotify API. And you can see the available countries is empty.

“that’s a security risk”

My reasonse is always along the lines of “Yeah and? It’s a pocket-sized PC with PC-like specs being sold at PC-like prices. I’d like my workhorse to be functional. I can monitor my device as best I can, and vet the things I install.”

It really sucks how fucking stupid people have gotten. The complacency and supporting of companies stripping away access to things you’re selling out big money on? It’s like ownership pricing for a rental experience.

Then when nobody can repair the stuff but the OEM’s they’ll be shocked at the cost and blame the people who used to repair the items for not doing enough to push back or something stupid.
