Well now the government knows? That's assuming they didn't know and / or haven't been informed ahead of publication. I don't see where the danger in having this information available publicly is?

I just don't get the non voter. Granted I'm not a US citizen, but not voting in your election is effectively voting for fascist theocracy. Your electoral system sucks but if I could choose between having an arm or my heart removed I know what I'd choose.

If someone is curious: with the gestures disabled in the settings, touchegg doesn't start up. I added a startup item with the command 'touchegg' and now my set up with touché as the config tool works.

 

I'm testing, after many recommendations, a mint installation on my Lenovo yoga 720.

I found the settings for touchpad gestures but my question is: how do I bind a keyboard shortcut to a gesture?

I tried a workaround and installed touché, since my understanding was that mint uses touchegg. But that worked only until the first reboot and now seems broken. If possibleI'd prefer to just use whatever is implemented anyway.

So, is there a way to bind a keyboard shortcut to a touchpad gesture?

Thank you for the detailed reply.

  1. I've used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I'm missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to 'make files available offline'. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.

  2. I assumed that's best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux "problem" I suppose. Yes, it's possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it's on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
    Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it's often community maintained?

Fortunately it's just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It'll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

See my comment below, we're moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you're forced to work online you're more likely to do so in the shared folder. We'll see if that's true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another...

The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you're forced to work online you're more likely to work in the shared folders. If that's true, we'll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

 

After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows.

I settled on pop_os for now since it supports hybrid Nvidia graphics out of the box and I am a noob.

Two questions:

  1. I used OneDrive, and especially the file on-demand (all files on server visible in explorer but only downloaded when needed) feature a lot. What cloud storage provider has the best Linux integration? I dabbled with NeXtCloUD but the Linux client is not great, especially the file on-demand implementation.

  2. What are best practices for managing apps? The last time I entertained the idea of switching, I ended up with applications installed from the snap store, flatpacks, some appimages, some through apt. It quickly gets confusing for me when I want a specific program but it, f.ex., is only distributed through the snap store. Is there a GUI (I know) way to see all applications, where they're installed from, with an easy remove button? Akin to what windows offers?

Even if the knee on the back is not the cause what the fuck is wrong with the officers to just brush off his plea for help? Say he has an asthma attack and couldn't breath, after he's handcuffed on the floor there's not much he can do himself. If you immobilised someone you need to take care of them. If they die in your care while calling for help at the least it's negligence.

Können wir uns nicht vielleicht auf wirklich wichtig Themen konzentrieren? Klimakleber, Tempolimit, Migranten, Arbeitstotalverweigerer???! Was interessiert es denn wie China oder Russland Einfluss nehmen wenn die Ampel eh schon alles verbietet, inklusive unser christlich jüdischen Kultur?!?!

Warte auf Rückmeldung von einer zweiten Runde Bewerbungsgespräch. Die haben nach Referenzen gefragt und ich darf morgen ganz eng mit meinem Chef arbeiten den ich letzte Woche auf dem Anruf des potentiellen neuen Arbeitgebers vorbereitet habe. Eigentlich OK, er versteht es. Was mir den Schlaf raubt ist, bekomme ich dir Stelle????

For real! Whoever is school photographer has it figured out.

Wait, what?? I might have to replay it!

 

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.
