After an update I noticed discover was this weird yellow color, I opened settings and noticed it too was yellow, thinking it was some bug, I restarted PC, now everything is yellow. I tried inverting colors but that is something completely different. I'm not even sure what was updated to cause this....
This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it's a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type "blind" into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.
Well, in a neighborhood, cars won't always be driving 50 km/h. And the engine will be especially loud, when they need to accelerate after a turn or whatever.
Either way, I do hear the difference when an electric car goes by.
I'm not sure what you expect to happen. If they don't do this, Russia will ban Firefox. And I do think, it's better for the Russian people to have Firefox available, even if it bends its knee in certain situations. Because I'd wager the alternatives proactively stick their tongue up Putin's.
Ah yeah, true, getting just the signed XPI should work as well.
And well, it is tricky. The signing requirement allows them to block malicious add-ons, which could also be used for state censorship.
I think, offering a separate path for people to install unsigned extensions, if they need it, while blocking them for the majority and therefore making them inviable for malware to target, that's in principle a smart compromise.
Also, side-note: Folks who are on Linux likely don't need to install a separate version of Firefox. Linux distros tend to compile with the unsigned extension support enabled (just need to toggle the flag in about:config).
We often talk about the climate impact based on greenhouse gases, but extracting fuel from the ground and using it in exothermal processes of course also releases energy as heat....
Yeah, I'm from Germany and we experienced this second-hand in 2022, when lots of French reactors were either in reparation or had not enough cooling water during the drought, so France imported tons of power from us and drove up prices.
This all happened on top of inflation and the Russian conflict, so hard to say how much it actually influenced prices, but those were quite high in the end, so presumably not nothing.
Without this happening, I probably wouldn't have been acutely aware of nuclear producing much heat. Obviously, they do have those massive cooling towers and I have read before that it's just another form of steam power, but you know, never properly thought about it.
Well, my thinking was that if the produced heat was not negligible, then it would be cooler (literally) to use energy for heating which is being pushed into our atmosphere already anyways, rather than actively unearthing additional energy.
I had to think of a ghetto accent "I'm ga'a fuck you up, mate".
So, it's not like there's no movement in that single syllable. A mild attempt is made at pronouncing two syllables, by having the back of the tongue shortly touch the roof of the mouth. But for properly pronouncing an "n", the front of your tongue needs to touch the roof of your mouth, and that's certainly not happening.
@kde That's why I love KDE:
It has cute mascot
It is minimalistic
It is beautiful
It has a big amount of features
It has a big amount of good apps
It can tweaked
Well, its style is relatively minimalistic. It does still have lots of features + settings. Obviously, in terms of resource usage, compared to Fluxbox or i3wm, it still uses a lot, but compared to Windows, it's a breeze.
Btw, what is up to gstreamer vs. MPV vs. ffmpeg ? I dont get the difference.
As far as I understand, MPV is a video player application and offers libmpv as a high-level video playback library. I'm not sure, if it makes use of GStreamer or ffmpeg under the hood, but it wouldn't surprise me.
GStreamer is somewhat lower in the stack and much more generic. It allows orchestrating various steps in a media processing pipeline, so could also be used for video editing or transcoding or the like.
And ffmpeg is a library specifically for transcoding of as many formats as possible. You can use ffmpeg as part of GStreamer via a plugin, for example. But there is also a really useful ffmpeg CLI, with which you can script all kinds of file conversions, like MP3 to OGG Opus is something I do often.
FFplay is a very simple and portable media player using the FFmpeg libraries and the SDL library. It is mostly used as a testbed for the various FFmpeg APIs.
Given that, I would expect that it actually doesn't make use of GStreamer, just to really keep things as simple as possible.
From a programming perspective, it isn't really surprising that these projects have overlap. You see that quite often, that some venerable library, like ffmpeg, does a massive chunk of the grunt work and then you've got libraries like GStreamer and libmpv, which sit on top of that, and 'just' integrate it into a wider framework or tie it all together for a specific purpose.
From an outside perspective, that will make it look like they're all similar, because the core of the magic, ffmpeg, is included into all of them (I assume).
It's just more confusing here than in other projects, because each of these projects is visible to us users in some way.
Clearly, KRunner exists so that if Plasma crashes, I can run plasmashell --replace in there. 🙃
Alright, a somewhat more serious response: It gives people flexibility in how they can use their system. For example, the Application Launcher requires having widget for it on your panel. It requires having a panel.
Personally, I also just like KRunner, because it doesn't take me out of my workflow so much. The Application Launcher feels like I'm now doing the separate task of launching an application, with how it slaps that flyout into your face, covering your windows underneath. KRunner on the other hand feels like I'm merely adding another window.
In general, though, you might not find massively convincing reasons to have it, because why not? They use the same backend code. The tiny bit of UI to display KRunner, that doesn't cause much maintenance. Even if it did cause much maintenance, it's not like the volunteers working on that are going to work on something else instead.
I'm no expert, but I just scrolled through the Wikipedia article for Eusociality, because I know that's a really interesting topic in the field you describe, and then picked out all the links to scientists:
And well, descriptive words that get mentioned relatively often: entomologist, biologist and sociobiologist.
Sociobiology is almost a competing theory to sociology, though, in that it tries to explain social behavior with evolution.
The Wikipedia article on sociology does say rather strongly that it is about humans.
My best guess is that while e.g. eusociality would offer a broader range to study, I guess, humanity is just not as interested in the specific details, as they are when studying humans. So, that's why sociology for animals is presumably not a field of its own, but rather lumped into entomology/biology.
I don’t use it and it keeps ruining my day. I recently got a vertical mouse that I’m still not 100% used to, and the paste triggers every time I press the wheel by mistake.
If you're on Wayland, there should be a toggle for it in the KDE settings.
For me on Plasma 6, it's called "Middle Click:" and then "Pastes Selected Text", under "Workspace" → "General Behaviour".
If you're on X11, this is implemented in X.org, so X.org would need to provide that option, not KDE. I researched that for half a minute and it didn't look great, but yeah, you'll want to do your own research.
Or try out the Wayland session, if you haven't yet.
I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It’s has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can’t even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto...
Since the update, if I snap Firefox to the top the mouse seems to be offset a number of pixels compared to where the actual cursor is. It also affects the content in sites, not just stuff in Firefox....
If you right-click on the Firefox toolbar, select “Customize Toolbar…” and then in the bottom left corner tick the “Title Bar” checkbox, does that change anything about it?
With Plasma 6 I can now edit my screen brightness from my toolbar, but I don’t see the option to schedule it like the Night Light. Is there a way to do so?
There’s something I don’t understand here: why when I do “Open Folder” and then save the session, closing it and opening it again I’m left with nothing?...
I haven’t done much with sessions, but yeah, I do think, they only save the opened documents.
A project would certainly work for this. If you’re using Git, it will auto-detect Git repos as projects, so personally I’ve never actually created such a project file myself (although reading through that documentation, there does seem to be some useful options there). This looks for example like this:
Alternatively, you can also use the File System Browser plugin. That one might be disabled by default, I’m not entirely sure. It gives you a little file-manager-like side panel, with which you can practically navigate through the entire filesystem:
The button I’ve highlighted with the red arrow, might also be hidden by default, but is really useful here, as it allows you to jump to the parent directory of the document you’re currently viewing.
The idea is that you never have to open a project manually, this is even not supported at all.
So, I’m guessing, you’re supposed to re-open files by using a session, and then because those files are underneath a certain project, the project plugin will show the appropriate file tree from underneath the project file. Presumably, you could also have a session with files from multiple projects, for example.
And, to be honest, I’m not even sure, if Kate itself has a concept of a directory, or if this just exists in those plugins. I mean, it will have the concept of the “current working directory”, like any process does, but I’m not sure, if you’d want to use that for this. You could, for example, be navigated into a different directory on the Terminal plugin than in the File System Browser plugin.
I mean, having a discussion with the maintainers is probably not a bad idea. I do feel like there’s some edges that could be rounded with sessions in general, but yeah, all I’m saying is that there is probably a reason why it’s like that…
Hmm, yeah, interesting. Especially that it opens the directory in the Projects view rather than the file system browser plugin view (even if there is no .kateproject or .git/ in the directory).
I just had a bit of a play with it and, contrary to my expectation, it actually seems like the directory for the File System Browser plugin is remembered per session. That feels like it would actually be exactly what you’re looking for…? 🙃
