Attaching files from Dolphin to mail just works as Drag and Drop (gives you the choice of inline or attachment for images, cool, did not know that). Not sure for firefox, would need a target, but there’s always right click, copy location, paste into any file chooser.
As in between them ? Not something I do enough to care about, and I use Zen and Betterbird, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, but I just selected something from Zen and dropped it into a new message in Betterbird without issue…KDE FWIW. There are still some rough edges with flatpak and wayland, but they’re mostly smoothed now. It’s usually permissions (KeepassXC and firefox is a bitch for example, but doable).
Yup, you can just do your Arch (or other distro-hopping) stuff in a distrobox if you want. Break it, blow it away and start fresh, uBlue don’t care… Switch DEs, that’s a one liner (although Gnome and KDE still don’t play well together, so use a fresh user). What’s not to love?
Experienced here, did my time in Arch, learned a lot, perhaps even more than necessary, now retired to Fedora, then Bazzite and Aurora-dev. It just gets out of my way nicely. Something, something, Bell curve meme, plateau of enlightenment meme.
And I would absolutely recommend Arch to a technically competent gamer newcomer as the fastest way to get up to speed.
Horses, Courses.
Pocket high power laser to burn out the camera ? Just make sure not to hit their eyes (or don’t). /s
Second, it sucks that the wrist band thing is being tied with bullshit ai glasses. I would love to see that as a regular input device for PCs and smartphones.
Seconded, have long considered sub-critical neuron monitoring a really good in to ‘thought control’ without the privacy complications. No thanks neuorolink, stay out of my head (at least for many years until the implications and side effects shake out, fMRI also spooks me) but I’m fine with wrists and perhaps voicebox (ala firefox ), you know, voluntary stuff. What are the odds they’ve locked it up in patents and it’s now a tech dead end for the next decade or two…?
Well said, and you’re right, it’s not hopeless. Most people don’t need the latest superphone, personally I want to carry around a good music device, that I can read books on, and preferably have maps. Many like cameras, but I like the idea of a devoted one. The communications (/surveillance) device is a separate thing and perhaps we should think seriously about breaking these things apart, hotspot that you turn on when needed for example. How about a nice general purpose pocketable linux gadget and a secure simple telecom to give it a connection?
IMO nerds are mostly not resistant, so much as take pains to actively remove ads from their sight (adblockers, pihole etc, avoiding Meta type crap and so forth). Adtech has been awfully refined over the last century and if they’re doing it right you don’t even know that it’s effecting you, so best to avoid.
You should be fine on gOS for 6 yrs+, which is how long google promised to keep up with security updates. The device tree (think hardware drivers), which is what google removed with pixel 10 is what is causing grief, is already there for lower pixels. Unless, of course, google comes up with some new fuckery to invalidate the usability of the security updates (pray I don’t alter the deal further…)
Annual rentseeking incoming, 3.2.1…
It’s PCIe 4.0 :(
Boo! Silly me thinking DDR5 implied PCIe5, what a shame.
Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.
Pretty sure that’s a x4 PCIe slot (admittedly PCIe 5x4, but not many video cards speak PCIe5), would totally trade a usb4 for a x8, but these laptop chips are pretty constrained lanes wise.
Perhaps a poisoning the well attack on AI scrapers?
podlet does a pretty good job of spitting out quadlet .container files or entire pods from a dockerfile.
