Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?
Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.
Yep, and it’s opt-in so if you’ve never turned it on explicitly, then it’s off.
Seriously though, KDE’s slider that lets you adjust how much / how little data to send (if any) is probably the best implementation of opt-in telemetry that I’ve seen in a while.
I hope this doesn’t violate the low-quality rule. For those who don’t know, when you right click an archive in Dolphin, the extract menu has a “Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder” option and its absolutely brilliant! If you’ve ever extracted a zip, tar, etc and ended up with files splattered everywhere this...
Absolutely, yep! I curse myself every time I just click “extract” forgetting that other file managers don’t do this, and end up with files all over the place
It would be nice if it were at least configurable to set as the default extract option. If I had to take a guess, it’d be that it’s not the default option because the amount of single files before needing a subfolder could vary between different people. Some folks may want only one, and others may be fine if it goes up to say 3. However, I suppose that could also just be a configurable option.
That being said, I’ve at the very least developed the muscle memory to always click that option no matter what. I can’t tell by your comment if you weren’t aware of the feature, but if not then hopefully it can be of use to you moving forward as well!
That’s perfectly fair! I always seem to have a 50/50 coin toss of whether there will be a folder inside the archive or not.
I think if things were more consistent for what I end up having, I wouldn’t mind it if archives didn’t have a folder or if they always had a folder, rather than the current state.
I suppose in your case, it would be cool if there were a config option to make this do the reverse, unpack the files within the subdirectory of the archive to your current directory.
Honestly now I am curious if there is a CLI equivalent. I always end up using tar’s t flag or opening a zip in vim to see if it has a subfolder as my current workaround…
I have been thinking of completely going off Google. I have a Nextcloud server for documents and contacts and calendar. Thinking of moving mail away too. Currently I am conflicted between hosting my own email server. On searching only advice I am getting is not to do it....
Yes, although like someone else mentioned - I don’t, and ever wouldn’t try to host it at home, but on a server at a data center. The network is operated by a person I know and trust.
No IP reputation issues that I’ve run into, but even going in I knew that its very rare I send emails so it probably wasn’t going to be an issue either way. I’ve only had it running for about two years now, but in that time frame I’ve sent one email out where I “started the conversation”, and three emails where I was replying back to someone who already had my email in their address book.
I imagine at some point it could be added to the Have I Been Pwned tool, which you can use to check for the presence of your credentials being in a data breach.
Unfortunately, I’m not so sure that the moderator/owner of this community is still around - their account history shows zero posts / comments on it, and they are the only one who’d be able to change those settings.
Invariably, when I try to install themes, or anything from Plasma’s menu’s I get the following error, If I’m lucky, I get get a few pages in, other times it’s right off the bat like this time. Is this due to an overwhelming of the servers or something else?

I don’t generally enjoy musicals (or rather, shows that aren’t musicals but then do a random episode as a musical) but SNW definitely did it right! And I’m glad I didn’t skip it since I considered doing so.

Ah, well I had a more thorough comment typed out, but unfortunately that was on the thread that got locked and the app I’m using on mobile ate my response when it failed to post.
The gist of it though was that I was pleasantly surprised by this episode, as I’m not usually one for the time travel themes. The ending was painful (as in, the writing was very well done) to watch and hit me harder than I expected!
And it was also cool for them to reference DDG instead of Google, I’d be happy to see that sort of thing happen more often on TV.
