Yeah, I’m not proud, I needed to google it to get past that bit too on my first playthrough. It seems like this was one thing they didn’t add any in-game hints for.

Yeah… but why? Kate is better in about every way. And while we’re on the topic, Kate is also available on the windows store, with a real Windows build.

On windows: Notepad++. On Linux-based OS: Kate. And there’s also JetBrains Fleet, that is jetbrains answer to vscode.

I get how this could be interpreted as offensive, but I think it is just poorly worded.

This option is for if you are using a legacy version of Linux such as 2.6.x (eg, on an old RedHat distro that your business systems are designed to be run on).

This enables a compatibility mode so the old kernels don’t complain.

Yes, I think that partnership started pre-mozilla.

Pairing a read-this-article-later service with an e-ink device is the most logical combo, and the only reason I use something like Pocket.

I do hope Rakuten can find an alternative.

Damn, that’s my way of syncing articles to my Kobo e-reader. I wonder if Kobo is going to offer an alternative.

Nice.

+1 for XPipe. This is pretty much exactly what OP is asking for. It also does SSH tunneling, SSH reverse-tunneling, manages connections into containers, and many other things. I’m a big fan.

Thanks for the reminder, I always forget about this feature, I should use it more.

The term Display Manager is a vestige of the use of X11.

X11 is a Server/Client protocol.

When a user logs in to an XServer, they are given an Xsession. The user can use that Xsession to create one or more X11 Displays (they are just IDs). The X11 Display ID is passed to the X11 client application (that’s what the XDISPLAY environment variable is for). The client apps render their content to that Display ID. This whole thing allows for more than one user to be able to use a single operating system on a single XServer at the same time.

All of that is pretty cumbersome for a user to do themselves in their terminal, that’s what Display Managers are for. They:

• Start the XServer if it isn’t started yet
• Provide a method (eg, login with username and password), to start a new XSession.
• Use that XSession to create an empty X11 Display.
• Look up which is your configured default DE or WM
• Launch the DE or WM with the right parameters, passing it the new XSession and XDisplay

If you’re using Wayland, then the architecture is very different. The Display Manager then simply operates as a login screen.

I’ve been using the tree-style-tabs plugin for the last 4 years, because I like vertical tabs, and nesting it provides.

But now that Firefox actually finally has proper vertical tabs, and tab groups, I can move away from tree-style-tabs (I don’t use any of its other features).

Yes you’re right, they do. But 10 years ago when I was studying, my university (in Australia) was not on their list of valid academic institutions.

I still have access to my uni email address, and earlier this year I found indeed I could use it to get access to a free Jetbrains student licence.

Jetbrains have gone the opposite direction unfortunately. The latest version of PyCharm came with the announcement that PyCharm Community is being discontinued. Instead, they will provide just one PyCharm (the closed source one) formerly PyCharm Professional, that can operated in a Basic (Free) mode, or a Pro (Licenced) mode. Also, some features that were free in Community edition will be moved to the Pro mode in the new PyCharm.

It doesn’t affect me personally because my workplace pays for a pro subscription for me, but I used PyCharm Community for 4 years during uni and I’m sad it’s going.

This is a good one. I’m keeping it to use for others, thanks.

These are some rules of mindset I’ve given to others in the past when trying linux-based operating systems.

1. Don’t try to apply the same computing and productivity patterns you’ve learned from Windows. Don’t try to force Windows concepts onto Linux OS, you will confuse yourself and get frustrated.
2. If something doesn’t work the way you expect it to, doesn’t mean it’s broken.
3. Just because something doesn’t behave the same as in Windows, doesn’t mean it’s worse. It’s probably designed that way for a good reason.
4. If your daily work routine or gaming life revolves around the use programs developed specifically for the Windows platform, you’re gonna need to invest time and effort to try to recreate that in Linux. It may not even be possible to fully replicate it. And that’s not the fault of Linux, it’s not designed to be a drop-in Windows replacement.
5. Everyone has their own taste and preferences. Just like some people prefer driving a manual car and some prefer auto. If you try Linux and hate it, that’s okay, that doesn’t make you bad or wrong, but keep in mind that those who do prefer Linux are not weird or daft or wrong either.

Yeah, I remember reading this last year.

Update, after looking at it a bit more, I don’t know if I like the Edge 60 pro. It’s got a MediaTek processor, I prefer Qualcomm. I’m not a fan of the faux leather back, and the price is much higher than I expected (though I know they discount substantially after a year on the market).

I did Gentoo from stage 1 too back in the day, it’s was a valuable learning experience for me, and those skills helped me to fix things when they went wrong down the track.

I’m on an Edge 30 Pro now, it’s the best smartphone I’ve ever used. I’ve had it for 2 years, and it was 1 year old when I bought it.

I skipped the Edge 40 and Edge 50 (they are pretty good, but not worth upgrading), this Edge 60 pro will likely be my next new phone.

I will wait until I can buy a lightly used one. I don’t buy new smartphones anymore. There are many people who upgrade their phone every year, and unlike iPhones, most android smartphones depreciate in value rapidly after they are even lightly used, so it’s easy to get a good deal on a 1 year old phone that’s in near-new condition.

I was big into custom ROMs back when CyanogenMod was the state of the art. Unfortunately these days my banking app and my work mail app don’t work on custom ROMs, so I’m stuck with whatever the manufacturer provides me.
