i don’t like tiling wm, and can’t stand seemingly random placement a linux d.e. usually gives (if not just centering everything every time).

i use the kwin script for ‘remember window positions’ to get behaviour similar to windows. gnome has something similar, too (‘smart auto move ng’). so now a window for a program will open right back up the same size and in the same spot next time you run it.

plasma mobile works on more than just handhelds, and you’ll find it in fedora and debian repos (among others, i’m sure).

at a minimum: dash to panel (or dash to dock, whatever the preference is), arc menu (which is pretty slick), and ding (desktop icons, if wanted) would do the trick.

tl;dr: a new commercial product offering by ibm, sold to ‘enterprises’ to look at their own deployed code and maybe send fixes upstream

where can i get a square gray cat like that?

the skinny orange pillow is kinda cool, too.

just ream 'em on a receipt review. the franchisee here actually seems to pay attention to ones critical of things relating to wait times and quality of service and product.

if you’re like me and just need the noise from the fan, and not the air circulation, there are other, more efficient ways to get white noise… some of which would have battery power available.

for instance, i use an old laptop (with an internal battery for ‘backup’) and usb powered speakers (the ones built in aren’t loud enough when the lid is closed (it runs that way). if the power goes out, the laptop runs for several hours (even with the old battery) before it hibernates due to a low battery.

if you’d plug a device into a regular wall outlet for power, it’s ac. if your power bank has an internal inverter and provides an ac outlet, you should be able to just plug it in–provided its power demands fit within the output specs of the power bank. a normal box fan using 20-75w (approximately what ours here are, depending on age. newer models are more efficient) should be ok.

the rare occasion where i go to mcdonald’s, i always go inside and order from a real person at a the (there’s only one here now) register. i want to exchange cash for product and that’s the only way to do it.

cynic might suspect that Elon is just juicing expected revenues

given his reputation, previous actions, and thirst for even more wealth… anyone with more than three brain cells should see the scam being set up.

google owns a fair chunk of the company from a substantial investment a decade ago. this is just a further ‘investment’ to boost spacex financials prior to the anticipated ipo. has nothing to do with elon’s pipe dream of data centers in space.

he doesn’t care about the players… 40% of which are not white, nearly 30% are foreign-born… but there might be a couple who have given him money or sucks-up to him in ‘other ways’…

he really only ‘cares’ about the wealthy owners who give him money.

or sooner.

warframe is only ‘grindy’ if you make it that way. it can totally be a ‘play whenever’ affair if you let it.

now that’s a happy ending.

this will end even worse than you’re imagining it would.

literal pump and dump in the making.

pump the upcoming ipo, dump before bottom falls out.

gotta inflate those ipo so everybody (that they choose) ‘wins’.

you watch them. why can’t they watch you?

you can add it, and switch at login. there’s a cinnamon spin of ubuntu, so packages are in the repos. you’ll also find meta packages assembled by both ubuntu and debian that will install what their respective ‘full desktop experience’ has (browser, libreoffice, utilities, and what-not).
