I also bought and use this in a terminal and Emacs. I really do feel like it increases legibility at a much smaller font size.

They're referring to the photonix comments. Which are notorious, and serve as a great example of what happens when you don't moderate.

This was one of the most annoying things to me switching to Firefox a couple of years ago.

I've also been following this bug since switching (back), and have kinetic scroll turned off for the last few years, I somehow got used to linear scrolling -- it's not something that bothers me anymore, but I'll be happy to switch back now!

Does this work on a Raspberry Pi? Do Wayland compositors work in general with whatever GPU drivers they have?

In addition there are also often packages to get hardware acceleration of video working, if you care about saving energy / fan noise there.

I also use krunner but unless I've misconfigured it, I wouldn't call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).

Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I'm back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn't fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.

Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run "Install "

Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something

I'm no stranger to DIY nor reverse engineering, so I may still buy it as a winter weekend project.

DIY is difficult because I want real buttons, as well as customizable mini displays (like the Optimus keyboard of Olde)

As long as it shows up as a normal HID keyboard, and the upload protocol is reverse engineered, I'll be happy.

Maybe I'll get one and use the return policy to find out.

 

I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I'm not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)

I'm sure it'll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.

Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn't been released yet, I saw the "buy now" button and assumed it was.

The question was asking if there were any non e2ee text apps.

I think anyone who's tried one of these games or is the parent of someone who's tried one of these games figures out this loophole (or alternatively , predatory practice) pretty quickly.

I think in terms of actually doing stuff AMD is close in terms of power draw (W/performance) but it's the little things like going to sleep and while completely idle that the entire MacBook draws so little power that needs to catch up -- and that's not entirely on the processor.

Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

 

Production update on Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series)

We continue to be on track to start shipments before the end of the month on the new Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series). Last week we shared that SMT (Mainboard production) had started, and this week we’ve begun final assembly of laptops. We also pulled some early units to send out to press reviewers to make sure that you can see exactly where we’ve landed on performance and battery life. We have another happy bit of news to share with you: our Lead System Architect Kieran was able to implement a firmware solution to reduce power consumption when using HDMI and DP Expansion Cards on the back two slots. The only remaining power issue is with USB-A Expansion Cards on the back slots, which we are investigating a future USB-A Expansion Card hardware revision to resolve.

Looks like the first few AMD laptops have been manufactured and press samples have been sent out!

 

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.
