OK, I will byte, have you tried Input Remapper[1] ? I think most of your problem is coming from using Rocky Linux, it is much easier to find support on Ubuntu derivatives for tools made by the community in general. [1] https://gi

This is very interesting, so basically from 30 days in it is free until you decide to watch something, so even if you subscribe every time to the same service you can squeeze one or two days for free once in a while.

Thanks for maintaining this distro. Although nowadays I install things manually, when I started to get into windowmaker, I used your distro to get an idea of how to configure things in a cohesive environment. Things like the layout of the a

Lack of updates of the OS in one side of it, but everything else in the phone updating and becoming more and more resource hungry is another issue. I am the kind of person that never drops a phone and can replace a dying battery by myself.

I believe the biggest obstacle is dealing with different toolkits, since gtk3 and later are constantly breaking theme compatibility with new versions, and nobody have the time to maintain good alternative themes in these conditions. XFCE wi

I found this one out 10 years ago when I got a Pebble. Getting notification on my watch was increasing my stress rather than decreasing it. Also looking at my watch for a notification got many people thinking I was late for some appointment

It is also a bit sad that these strategies started to leak from mobile games into other platforms. Now we can find console and PC games with random "gift boxes", daily XP limits to force you to keep playing and others. Not that it

It may not be easier than other proprietary stuff, but it is easy enough and probably the easiest you can get from the free software side. Just install Element on iPhone or Android and make a matrix account from there, then add each other b

I severely underestimated how long it would take for me to learn Japanese based on my experience of learning English while being a native Portuguese speaker. English felt like a very different language but underneath it is so much closer in

I agree with your points. Cal Newport's content comes up a lot when people are searching for ways to improve productivity by reducing distractions from the web, and people looking for it are more interested in an easy to grasp solution

This provokes the same feeling as running Wine on Windows for me: ultimately useful but outright chaotic in nature.

I had the opposite experience, I tried to attend a Google Meet recently by using my Linux PC and Firefox, and could not get it to work at all. So I changed quickly to my iPad and Safari, also no go. My friend using Chrome on Windows on the

I have a feeling the BSDs could be the answer to that, but I think at this moment what makes me reluctant to migrate is hardware support (could be mitigated by buying specific hardware but I prefer to use what I already have) and virtualiza

Is it just me or Fuchsia sounds more and more like vaporware the more I read about it? Did Google never consider that Fuchsia might become to Android what Plan 9 is to Unix?

I used a similar system while doing training before, really neat as people could guarantee more or less that all the development environment was the same across different computers even with BYOD (bring your own device) and people would foc

There is some beauty to the fact that even if you wanted to update your software, you can't unless you patch it by yourself, so you know that in a month or a year from now it will be exactly the same way you left it the last time you c

They did not mention Linux at all in the notice. EAGLE supported Linux but as far as I know, Fusion 360 does not. Maybe I am their only user that cares, but this is the main reason I will be pushing my coworkers to migrate to KiCad. When Au

In my opinion, the fact that it is feature complete and no big changes are expected is a strong point. It means if I put the time to learn this tool, it will not change on next update and get on my way.

You are right about alkalines, they are definitely marked as 1.5V nominal. It is the reasoning behind the warnings on Gameboy manuals to not use rechargeable batteries (1.2V), but they worked just fine nonetheless.
