I was using alacritty. Ghostty feels snappy like you said. I dont know if it's "noticeably" faster in any meaningful way. but the out of the box config settings make the font rendering look much nicer than I had set up for alacritty.
I told myself "I'll use this for a while" as well but then realized... I don't actually have a reason to change to anything else. It gets the job done. So until some other new shiny thing comes along, this is probably where I stay for a while.
Some games can detect if they are running a VM and block that as part of their anticheat. You may not be able to get roblox or fortnite running in a windows VM.
Some games just flat out require actual Windows, so your options are "Have an actual Windows drive/partition" or "Just don't play those games"
The hard part is that point moves. I have very few problems. And insurance covers some things (supposedly). But if my spouse died and I suddenly had to throw child care into the mix, and changing my schedule to be the one that takes them to/from school... I could easily wind up where new problems form. I thought I had enough money, but I only had enough money for the specific circumstances
Getting bit by a venomous snake in Australia and you're blood starts to disassemble itself. The only counter is antivenom or die. Your blood breaking down is what kills you. And there is no way to separate the bite from that.
Being able to counter the venom in such a simple way is what makes it different. You can logically break it down into steps that are separable.
Which version of of SDDM (and presumably KDE) are you using?
One of the comments one of those threads you linked points out that the bugs you're sharing are for has changed.
The components have been reworked since the button was disabled so maybe that helped. It used to be a PlasmaComponents2.TextField, now it's a PlasmaExtras.PasswordField.
PlasmaExtras.PasswordField has the button enabled! However, the implementation in the theme explicitly disables it.
If you open up /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/Login.qml and scroll down to line 106. You'll see rightActions: [] -- this bit of code basically overrides the default behavior. It says "normally you have some actions here, but instead use this list, but [] is an empty list.
So if you just comment that line out by adding // to the front of it... Everything should just work, since it will then revert back to using the built in value.
However, the reason this was removed in the first place is in a comment on line 105:
// Disable reveal password action because SDDM does not have the breeze icon set loaded
If the icon set fails to load for whatever reason (if youre using a custom icon theme or something, i dunno why it might not be loaded), the button will fail to load again.
You can test drive the SDDM lockscreen by running sddm-greeter-qt6 --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/ from the terminal.
And this all assumes that you're using the default breeze theme. If you are trying to use a different theme, not sure if any of this applies.
I just recently got rid of my oneplus 5 because the volume button stopped working. So I understand the motivation. But LineageOS has Android 14 running on the S10 and its very possible that when they release an Android 15 version, they also support the S10
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as a Gull, is in fact, Sea/Gull, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Sea plus Gull. Gull is not an categorization unto itself, but rather another component of a full identity made useful by the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species components comprising a full identification as defined by its scientific classification.
Sometimes games ship updates that mess with the game. I have over 20,000 hours in WoW. But my play habits from over almost 2 decades ago don't reflect the current quality of the game.
And some people compulsively play games they don't enjoy because "once I get to the next thing, it will finally be fun!" And maybe this person had an awakening and realized that they will never get there... Or after this amount of time had a drastic change of heart.
And some people leave games open when they aren't playing.
I'm not saying this is normal or necessarily healthy, but it's not unfeasible.
It isn't just about ungoogling things though. Having a monoculture in the browser space means that if Google makes a push to favor ads, say by removing certain extension support from their browser engine that everyone uses, then the entire internet suffers. It is effectively a monopoly.
Mozilla tries really hard sometimes to be unappealing, but there is value in not just letting Google have full control over the internet.
$6996.99 per year is $134.56 per week. If you get 5 books per week, that's $26.91 per book. Given the picture includes a single book costing $19.95, that feels very reasonable. Maybe it's 6 books a week, maybe some books are more expensive.
