  • sound's like timeshift's fault, not btrfs

  • Yeah, but there is almost never a need for keeping an older version of linux, unlike for Windows 10 since win11 has ridiculous system requirements

  • Never used systemd-homed, but i know an alternative to full disk encryption is having the root partition unencrypted, and the home partition unlocked at boot. For a single user machine at least, i don't see any difference when using it than unlocking at login. But then having 2 partitions is mandatory, and that may be a problem when running out of space.

  • not any phone. And you have to rely on someone to maintain the build. And hope that it's stable. And the manufacter has to allow unlocking bootloader without sacrificing a goat.

  • my brain took way too long to understand the picture

  • it's mostly for touchpads, I find it better as it mimics the behaviour on phones touchscreen but sometimes I disable it

    I hope nobody uses it on a mouse

  • huh every time I plug my Logitech receiver in a different port I get a notification about a driver installation, fortunately it's almost instant on my new pc but it's still weird that we need that in 2023

  • ah too bad, I had looked up about the WhatsApp bridge thing but was too lazy to setup the bridge, I was hoping there would be Publix bridges (although bad for privacy)

    Guess I'll have to threaten convince my friends to use matrix

  • But you have to setup a custom synapse bridge for element right ? Or did you find public servers ?

  • oh I didn't know, pretty cool

    at least both chromium and Firefox get a version with add ons

  • Doesn't it already support them ?

    edit: yes it already supports them, but it seems that now there will be more focus on mobile

    edit2: also they forgot about kiwi, but then it's not a major browser (and is it still maintained ?). still would've been cool if they corrected this

  • There is the same problem on reddit, so they brought it here too so new users won't be disoriented (/s)

  • But can it edit text fields ? like not drawing over them but changing the actual text stored

  • Neat now I will remember this meme and laugh whenever I'm supposed to stay serious

  • I read on the github that there is a registry key to set to fix this problem

  • Did you symlink the compdqta folder um don't remember it's been too long..

    Also I heard winbtrfs in windows isn't as stable as ntfs3 in Linux :(

    I'm trying to share stuff between the os because I lack so much space (500 Go for Windows + nixos + my old fedora silverblue parution that still has data I have to clean) fortunately I'm soon upgrading to 1To but I'll probably fill everything again in a fews months 😅

  • ah too bad, I thought I finally had a solution for the lack of storage.. I'll probably do it anyway just in case I need quick access to one Linux game but the rest of the time I'll keep them on the ntfs

  • Ah I wish I read that sooner, when the ntfs3 driver was released I moved my games to an NTFS partition, i don't remember precisely but some wouldn't work, and then unlike my ext4 or btrfs partition which were unbreakable, a lot of things became unreadable and undeletable after a forced shutdown. Probably my fault, but in any case i think it's not worth the hassle. I only had games on it fortunately so didn't lose anything significant

    ...and now I'm planning on making a btrfs partition for my games and using winbtrfs to use it on windows as well, probably another bad idea but I wanna do it so badlybadly

    EDIT: Yup, it was a bad idea, sometimes getting blue screens when trying to empty the trash on the btrfs

  • It doesn't matter, inux does not rely on extensions, so you can name a Linux executable .exe .bin or anything. When I was learning ocaml that's what our teacher was naming his executables.

    but plz don't do it it's cursed and I hate it, thank you
