What happens if I disable the Internet connection of my car?

Why "sadly"? What's your experience with Carrion?

Alright. Let's have it. What's the extensions that enhance the look of Gnome, propelling it into eye-candy heaven?

"Coveted feature" might be a bit exaggerated.

Never saw the need to separate work and personal devices. I have a work and a personal profile on my phone. That's enough.

I won't switch bank over this.

But I agree, banks often have terrible websites.

LineageOS... the restrictions don't sound great. I will need the Google Apps, esp. for banking and other work related stuff. No way past it. Some software seems a bit basic, like the camera app. Sony offers a nice one there. Just as an example. There's other concerns. Small, but hey...

As to your request for contributing to OSM. That's what we have StreetComplete for.

Nice.

Where's the wallpaper from?

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Sony provides them, by what I gather.

I've outgrown the tinkering. Would like to stick with Android. Have too many apps depending on that. Banking, work related stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I'm considering flashing my Xperia with this, since Sony officially supports it and my stock ROM stopped getting updates.

Any thoughts? Is there something I should consider before doing this? Do you have a better alternative? If so, why?

Love. With all it entails.

A trip down memory lane.

It also was the song used as an audio template for the mp3 format.

There are those that help us relax, chill, and unwind.

And then there are the others. Which one stresses you out like no other?

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

  • The ability to resize the menu.
  • The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
  • The capability to create folders with applications.
  • Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

Jup. It just says that "the malware was disguised as PDF and QR code readers".

Not helpful, Mashable. Not helpful at all.
