Been using it since plasma 6

Cool, so jq but using sql instead of custom syntax. I wonder if it can output to plain text. That is what I usually use jq for.

Interesting, seems like quite a bit of work is needed to do this in rust, but hopefully that will benefit others who need to do the same. I do wonder if all of the efforts to do it in rust will be worth it though.

Purchasing my first home, apparently all info regarding the sale is public information. Companies scrape or buy this data and then spam your mailbox with various extra services. In my case, it was mortgage premium insurance or something like that. Anyways, the letter I received in the mail went something like this: "You forgot something important regarding your home purchase". I don't remember the exact words, but it was something like that.

I'm a first time home buyer and I am trying to stay on top of things. Of course, because they are able to get all the information regarding the sale. It looks legit, they have my name, address, loan number, loan amount, the bank serving the loan and everything. I call to make sure everything is alright and fortunately they didn't answer. I took the extra time to look up what mortgage premium insurance even was and that is how I came across the fact that it may be a scam.

Anyways, they call me back eventually and by this time I am on to them. I ask some questions regarding their company and the entire time they keep repeating the name of the bank that is serving my loan, but refuse to give me the name of their company. After a bit more back and forth they finally let it slip that they are from some unrelated insurance company to which I decline their offer. I wanted to curse them out, but I just wasn't raised that way.

Edit: A lot of people don't take online privacy seriously. Usually going whats the harm. I was never really comfortable with it to the point of apathy, but I was a bit lax at times. This experience made me find out first hand what the harm of everyone having access to your data is.

Funny thing about this. I had always though that creating new resolutions didn't work because I would always encounter an error no matter what guide I followed. It wasn't until a month ago that I discovered that the new resolution thing with xrandr doesn't work on nvidia.

I bought 64 gigs of ram and still refuse to use it.

Endeavor and Arch both default to whatever upstream defaults to, so if you update Endeavor to plasma 6 then it will be wayland by default.

The latest driver should be 550 series. If VS Code is running under xwayland then you are probably going to be waiting a few more months for explicit sync to be finished in xwayland and various other pieces of the graphics stack https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967. Since vs code is electron you can try running it with the wayland command line arguments --ozone-platform=wayland. There might be some other arguments you need to pass depending on the version of electron.

Honestly, I don't like any of the wayland keyboards, I wish onboard still worked, but sighhh.

It has been a while since I used fedora. I believe the last time was fedora 31 and heard murmurings of a dnf rewritten in c++ to be faster. Glad they actually pulled it off.

I keep hearing people say that, but I paid thousands of dollars for my TV to still have ads. The days of if you don't pay for the product then you are the product is dead. You will pay for it and still be the product regardless of cost.

The one thing I disagree with is the technological advancement. I feel like there has been advancement, but the problem is the cost of those advancements. No one is pining to drop thousands/tens of thousands of dollars on OLED, Micro-led, or whatever the hell else they have come out with over the years. On top of that the crappy interfaces of these TV's as well as privacy problems. See the recent roku debacle.

Thanks, that works.

kstart5 on plasma6? Try making a new user and seeing if the issue still happens.

Same, this is also the first time that I am able to use wayland on my nvidia card. There are still issues, but there are being worked out. 6.0.2 solved the issue with plasmashell just quitting whenever I turned one of my monitors off.

So as it turns out, if you give people a choice. Some of them will pick something else.

I'm using endeavourOS too, I didn't even know there was an update script. We don't all just use pacman?

The only thing I want to add is that installing arch the right way doesn't matter if you have installed any linux distro manually. You could install debian the arch way if you wanted to and still come out with the same skill set.

Is this available over rss? I was trying to add it, but wasn't able to find a feed link.

I want it now.
