Maybe depends upon the DE/WM you are using. UN*X has 2 copy/paste buffers and they both work on Slackware with a Window Manager under X11 as you mentioned. I think the same is true with DE. Is that not the case with Wayland ? Any

So a case of "socialism" working vs US. So instead of encouraging roof top solar and wind, the US is now doubling down on fossil fuels. That means individuals can no longer afford to go with solar these days. Plus in areas that p

I look at it as an expense. If you can sell and make a few bucks, great. But I doubt any new buyers will make out. I expect in the not to distant future, the only way someone will get to own a house is to inherent one.

I am not a fan of today's concept of "AI", but to be fair, building today's software is not for the faint of heart, very few people gets it right on try 1. Years ago I gave up compiling these large applications all toge

I work on my local Linux system and that is the most update to date Committed items are stored in 2 places: 1. anon ftp on sdf, back to using tar files via gopher, the main site 2. gitlab is a mirror and will make it easier for youngsters.

This is all well and good, but population dropping will only impact our civilization a little. I think this is an issue only because the "very rich" may actually see their standard of living fall. For the poor, it will have no re

I wonder why Wikipedia does not ban access from the UK due to this ruling ? I think doing that will get them an exemption rather quickly.

No reason, slackware already has a suite, so I just use what is already there.

Yet another Tiling WM Clone, granted probably a very good one. But, until there is a Fluxbox clone on Wayland that can use ~/.fluxbox without any configuration changes, I will stick to X11. As a second choice I would accept a cwm clo

So, if I scraped thousands of WEB sites, it is legal ? I remember a person being charged with doing that to just a very few WEB Sites was charged. The poor person ended up committing suicide. If I record every song played on the radio for

Or maybe 2 kg bars ? But this is a rather big surprise to me. With the price of gold, I doubt only the very rich can afford these. Aren't those the people who Trump is trying to enrich. Or maybe the rich do not buy gold, or has anot

I can see where you were thinking of $, sorry. Mainly it is the people who left and were fired. The brightest would jump ship instantly when DOGE started firing, and these scientists had lots of places to go. And the people fired probably

In the long run I fear it does not matter. The fossil fuel "won" by prioritizing profits over the environment. IMO, the world is heading straight to +3C and no way to stop it. We could probably prevent 3.5C, but by then the worl

I had added a 2nd disk on my 386sx, but I guess it was after the DOS 5.0 time. I did not realize before v5 it was not allowed. Not long afterwards I ended up on Coherent OS, fun times.
