Yeah, that was the same thing with me and my windows machines for years (i think I remember it working properly at one point though). I heard they recently fixed it though.

Hmmm… I have a Samsung (and using the default phone app), and it doesn’t do that. Maybe only when using Google phone app?

The thing with winget, i believe, I that when installing non-MS store programs, you still have to go through the program’s installer.

Whereas you don’t need to look at an installer with apt or similar

I second this sentiment. I would love to know more!

From experience (this was a few years ago, but still holds up even today), yes. The GUI installer is very easy to use (there’s lots of visual stuff to). The one thing that the installer does better that the Debian installer, in my opinion, is partitioning (there’s more visual aids (a slider you can move around, I believe) (a disclaimer: this is basedoff of materials that i read online, not any personal experience)).

If you want images and stuff, you can always look up ‘Calamares installer’ (which I believe is the installer Mint uses)

Wish you the best of luck on your linux journey!

100x this.

I don’t know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting

he would be in jail if he didn’t get the idea to run for president a second time.

Let’s just hope that we see the whole trials thing re-emerge once he is done, that has the best chances of locking him up (dare I say 100% ?). Though I do feel that he deserves worse, whatever that may be.

Yea, would’ve canceled prime if not for the rapid delivery. I do notice that the delivery times have stretched out to 2 days.

can’t comment on Prime video, since i don’t use it much, but i don think the ads in a paid service is a pretty scummy thing to do.

The main driving force for me to cancel is mostly the way they treat their workers, but the sad thing is that it seems that dependency on amazon is gone up nowadays, with most malls/ stores closing (Fry’s Electronics is one that I can name off the top of my head)

I find that KeePassXC works great for if you don’t mind not being able to sync passwords that easily. You don’t have to pay a subscription for it.

Zero rn, but might be getting Amazon Prime soon.

True. But at the very least, get a dongle or wired earphones that directly connect to the phone (usb-c earphones exist, not sure about lighting connector). They are also not too expensive, compared to wireless earphones.

Used Saily while on vacation. Loved it. Switched on thee same day (where I was going there is a 3 day wait on SIM activation I believe), and the connection was pretty good.

there is also ydotool for Wayland

I thought the Imgur thing on reddit was optional? like, you could upload directly. Do they use it as a backend or something? Am I missing something?

That sounds really cool/ interesting! Keeping the bendy-ness/ rubbery-ness in mind, would you say that it could be a TPU/ PETG (certain types) alternative?

“biodegradable”. For PLA Plastics, they are only biodegradable under commercial composting environments (CNC Kitchen made a video about it). For other things, I think it is mostly the same (CBC Made a video on this too (they looked at plastic alternatives though, and the duration of their testing was a bit short))

OS: Debian (Trixie)

I use vim for light edits. Currently using VSCodium, but am slowly trying out Kate. I use codeberg as Version Control, and Konsole as the terminal.

I also have notepadqq (a native alternative to notepad++), but prefer vim and am also trying to switch to Kate.

Check if it’s not important, then delete

Same here

Paint.net, unfortunately, is a Windows-only software. For Linux, I’d recommend something like Lazpaint. It’s pretty close feature-wise, and I believe that it supports plugins.
