Odd, I don't have those issues (date is on the lock screen, network signal strength when wifi is off is there). Played around with font settings but that changed nothing. Up to date stable version of Graphene on an 8a. Are these beta v

Yeah, I do hope that an "inter-op" idea can be possible, otherwise anyone who doesn't want to join the duopoly fully will slowly be unable to interact with more and more aspects of commerce, government, etc. I guess the Graph

It'd be nice if they put a little sticker on the box or a flashing warning when you go to buy the phone noting that you'll be unable to use it as you desire for 24 hours if you are not willing to bend over to your corporate overlo

Yeah, it's terrible. I buy a new phone and then can't effectively use it for 24 hours? Half my apps are downloaded from F-Droid, which I've used for over a decade. Just gives me another reason why I'm very happy to have

I think you are correct to state that KDE can still improve in a lot of ways. Although I personally find the new screenshot tools to be great: I now use them a lot more than I used to, especially to annotate things. I was responding to your

Does Gnome have Desktop icons again by default? Because if not then no, it's not fine for people moving from Windows or Mac.

Until recently I used T-Mobile for many years and never got an SMS advertisement. Maybe it was something in the account settings I turned off.

You also couldn't modify it. I had previously customized Word to suit my needs. When the ribbon version came out I had a new laptop with that version of Word and was just starting grad school. I lasted a semester before it drove me mad

I'm inclined to agree. Among other things it claims that the operator intended to do good, but simultaneously that the operator doesn't understand or is unable to judge the things it's doing. Certainly seemed like a fury-indu

Oh, I get having a visual way of doing it with just a mouse for sure. But for power users or even just-a-little-bit-of-knowledge users it's super quick and convenient. When I had to use Windows for work it drove me nuts that the option

Yeah, it was one of those things I noticed when I first started using Linux and wondered why every other OS didn't just copy it.

Virginia was a slave state at that time (I think it was 8 slave states to 5 non). The states that eventually joined the confederacy are different from those that had legalized slavery when the Constitution was signed.

I would agree that many people view the Middle Ages as a static time, though a point I was trying to make was that the "Dark Ages" can mean different things depending on the person and context. But more importantly it wasn't

> But that was true, wasn't it? The Dark Ages started when Christianity spread through most of Europe. No, it is not. As Stryan noted in another response to your comment, the idea that medieval Europe was somehow one uniform culture

by garciansmith 9mo ago
I find that view to be reductive and correspond to simplistic stereotypes of the European Middle Ages (e.g., calling them the "Dark Ages"). It assumes people in very different places for 1,000+ years did the same thing and had the

Thanks for making this, I look at Sanborns all the time doing historic preservation-related work. Is there a way to quickly search for a specific address or select a point and then see the relevant map? Larger cities have Sanborns covering

Until recently (moved to GrapheneOS) I ran stock Android for years and never had an issue with turning any notifications from default apps. Maybe this is different with other manufactures and custom OS version (e.g., Samsung's)? I thin

GrapheneOS only updates Pixels for as long as Google does. All their supported devices currently receive the stock OS updates from Google. LineageOS is different in that regard.

What I had always wanted was a drive that played both music Minidiscs and MD data discs so I could also use the discs for both. At least I don't think there were any dual-use decks or recorders, and I couldn't justify getting a da
