Ok well, that’s telling me to stop wanting to do what I’m trying to do, and instead do something else. I mean…. Do you see how that’s not an answer at all.

You’re allowed to just say you don’t know how or if it can be done at all. But telling me just don’t do that is altogether pointless and just responding just to respond. Why do so many people do this and think it’s perfectly useful, I’ll never understand.

Credit cards are a tool. Just like any other tool, they can be useful or they can cause damage when improperly used. Educate yourself on how to wield a credit card effectively.

What he’s trying to say is, learn to use them like ninja stars - shuriken. They’re sharp and deadly if scaled properly.

The entire credit system is to keep undesirables from moving into “better” neighborhoods, to keep the po folk in their place - both geographically and socioeconomically.

Nah it’s awesome. Like you can then tell them “Hah you’ve been rickrolled” haha.

That’s a helpful suggestion thank you! Sincerely. Let me try to clarify: with any docks that I have used (dash to dock, plank, and whatever comes by default in Ubuntu which I think is a modified plank, same with elementary), when you fill up the length of the visible dock area and add more icons, they are hidden. You can then use your mousewheel / touchpad scroll to slide the icons so as to scroll to the hidden ones.

Now, my touchscreen works fine and I can do things like scroll web pages, tap icons to launch, tap fields in an application and even type in the on-screen touch keyboard.

But what I cannot do is move the dock icons to scroll them along the dock to reveal the hidden ones that are past the dock’s end.

In theory since it’s a scrolling function, the intuitive thing would be to drag them with your finger using the touchscreen. But this doesn’t actually work. Clearly, it is not coded in the same way that most things are that respond to that kind of interaction.

I tried using a few dock applications and on a few distros. It doesn’t work anywhere.

So that’s my goal - to be able to drag/scroll the contents of the dock to get to the ones that are hidden past the end.

I actually bought some online about a year ago because I’m doing some retro stuff. I even got a usb floppy drive.

What a Buzz Killington.

I fuckin LOVE this!!!! It’s absurd in the extreme and yet, so fuckin cool!

I humbly bow to your greatness of creativity.

Aaahhhhhhhh the aroma of 1995.

Dude. RAID.

It’s a damn shame the person missed :-(. Or maybe he hired the guy and it went exactly as planned. Nothing like a little “people want me dead” to help a psychopath feel like a hero.

You “answered” by giving me parenthetical information and not actually even addressing the specific thing I asked. I just don’t understand why you’d bother doing that. Advice is free? Yeah it would be but that’s not what you did. You just said some things and ignored the very specific issue I’m having.

I can appreciate if someone tried to help but could not, but what you told me has nothing to do with my issue.

Also, I said no offense and I genuinely meant it. No need for name calling. This isn’t an attack it’s just I’m very confused by you.

Ok so your reply literally reads like an AI bot. No offense. I’m aware there are different dock setups - I never asked about that. You said maybe helpful to know what I’m working with - well I said pop and Ubuntu. This limitation has come up on numerous devices so it’s not device that’s the issue. Touch screen works fine it’s just the coding of the dock that treats it a certain way.

The problem is I want to slide the dock content when it takes up more than the length of the dock. Using mouse wheel / touchpad scroll works. That’s the way docks designed. But it doesn’t seem to consider touch screen dragging as scrolling for the purpose of this.

I was pretty clear in my post so I’m not sure why you even replied. I mean, I appreciate any help but that wasn’t just not helpful it was not even addressing my question.

Also, gnome-extensions is outdated and I’ve had crashes on the latest gnome version. I don’t think the extensions plugin been updated in quite some time.

Okay so not specifically to do with smartphones but Nokia was the most innovative and creative designer of cell phones altogether, until they made the unfortunate mistake of going all-in with Windows Phone with the Lumia. They should have been smart enough to see that like almost everything MS does, it was doomed from the start. It was their downfall :-( So sad because they made some of the most gorgeous phones in the world.

I have a modest collection of Nokia phones and I’d like one day to have one of everything they made.

Smartphones nowadays are just catalysts to exploitation. There’s no more innovation they’re just cramming more things they can claim as “features” without really making any substantial innovation anymore. There are a handful of gems here and there but they’re really spread evenly across the gamut of brands. Also there are so many more smartphones with cool designs and functionality that are just not available in the U.S.A. I don’t really understand why, other than the big names wanting to keep the market stuck to the same handful of gigantic bricks that refuse the idea of any flavor or character. Maybe they lobby to keep affordable and innovative designs out of the U.S. market so they can keep peddling their mediocrity forever.

Is your poo requesting political asylum?

Plus it never even went so far as to address body autonomy, it was just a ruling over abortion on a federal level.

Because Roe v Wade did not establish a woman’s domain over her body, it established legal status of abortion on a federal level. Very specific.

That being said, sex work is about so much more than just a person’s body autonomy. There have been many societal concerns over the decades. I’m all for it, but the legal issues are complicated.

Oh… lol okay I think my responses got derailed a bit. The RCA Reno is fine I don’t have a problem. The FRP lockout is on a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro. I have it listed on eBay for sale now, including a warning about the FRP lock. Hopefully someone who has lots of exp with this maybe will purchase it. If not after a while, maybe I’ll make another attempt.

I can’t wait until the whole toner chip bullshit becomes illegal.

Shocked, I tell you!
