It's an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.

On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can't turn off screen lock!), but I haven't tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.

I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.

It's not replaceable? That's disappointing. I expected better of controller manufacturers since they're not space constrained.

This has been happening to me in embeds for ages, and I am logged in. It doesn't even give any option to sign in or watch on YouTube, I just don't get to watch embeds anymore.

I've been an Arch user for more than a decade and I'll usually be first in line to defend it from dodgy claims about unreliability.

But that forum response is bizarre. Literally the last two RSS items right now are about how splitting packages will require intervention for some users (plasma and Linux firmware). VLC is an officially supported package, and surely this change would impact almost every VLC user?

New opt-depends is a nice pacman feature, but it hardly implies that things have been removed from the base package.

You can do this on Arch too and it will work great until it doesn't. Manual interventions are rare and usually don't affect everyone.

Open camera has that. Settings > Camera preview... > Ghost image

Ah, apologies, I use the word "app" much more liberally.

No, I don't believe there would be a mobile release for Digikam and I'm not aware of similar software for mobile operating systems.

Digikam

• Fully local
• Search by location and place on map based on exif data
• Search by person (local facial recognition)

No search by "thing" without manually tagging though

Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which "house rules" are canon. Being "the game that people argue over" keeps it in the public consciousness much better than "that game that's kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally"

From a quick search, "sleep as android" seems to have support for both, although people have varying success with it

Hopefully this will help

If you're comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They're reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.

PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)

Bangle JS

If you want to basically make it from scratch there's also the Yatchy

This is the one that broke me

I'm unfortunately very familiar with this kind of "technically a stand"

There's a not uncommon belief that people that have not been exposed to Christianity are exempt from the whole hell thing.

The logical conclusion of that belief is, of course, that evangelising is just about the most evil thing you can do as you are condemning people by removing their exemption. Funnily enough, I never met someone who held that belief that reached that conclusion.

My government, my company, my former university and even my former highschool have all identified "understanding consent" as a significant social problem worthy of significant spending on PSAs and education programmes.

But even as people are learning about how consent is like tea, they are being exposed every day to software and services that treat it as informed consent if you don't dig into settings to disable something, don't actively delete your account when they arbitrarily change their terms of service, or offer a "contract" with a piece of software you've already purchased that you can't negotiate.

It shouldn't need to be said but...you don't get to skip getting informed consent just because it would be difficult or time consuming or annoying or expensive.

In some fields Malinauskus is more right wing than his Liberal party predecessor. Urban development is one of the big ones.

This is the premier who says "urban sprawl is not a dirty word", totally killed the right to protest in South Australia and is dedicated to commercialising the parklands. But he did undo the insane privatisation of the rail system so he's not totally blind to a good thing.
