I’m excited for these, especially with them likely coming for stable Firefox soon, too. My $DAYJOB hands out Ubuntu laptops and every time, we have to scrape off the Firefox Snap, because e.g. saving images doesn’t work and the Downloads directory is in some mystical place somewhere underneath ~/snap/. These APTs will almost restore the usability of other distros…

Wenn beim Angelsächsischen mal wieder das Sächsische durchkommt…
If it helps, the Windows/Linux logic is basically:
Well, and Ctrl, Alt, Shift also serve for alternative characters when you’re typing. And some application or OS shortcuts wildly combine modifiers for more complex keybindings. And of course, some applications just didn’t get the note of how this generally works. I won’t claim, it really follows rules, but yeah, it’s not generally complete chaos either.
I think, what you’re describing used to be a thing, but there’s now a somewhat different, more granular way of rebinding keybindings:
However, it should be said that these will only apply within KDE applications. If you’re using third-party stuff, like Firefox, GIMP, VLC etc., they won’t apply.
If you really want to go hard on rebinding all kinds of keys for any application, you can also do things like these:
As cool as both of these are, and as much as I would still generally recommend picking KDE for these kind of customization possibilities, I wouldn’t recommend overdoing either. You won’t be able to use other PCs anymore…
Pictures are probably better than a thousand words here:
Well, reading that back, the above comment is maybe a bit harsh, because I hardly know anything about Grayjay specifically. They do seem to have a grander vision where they combine all kinds of services, not just YouTube, and maybe they really are hoping that Google won’t ToS them.
But yeah, the way I imagine this will go down, is that Grayjay will grow for a bit, until Google notices losses from this new competitor. Then Grayjay will receive a letter that they’re in violation of the YouTube ToS. Grayjay will try to get that resolved, but no one at Google responds. Eventually they’ll be forced to take out the YouTube integration, making the app significantly less useful, which is its death sentence.
I don’t quite understand how their monetization model works, so I don’t know who will lose money here, but I imagine someone will.
Ultimately, they’re building a business reliant on Google, which has never been a good idea.
Google killed off most YouTube apps some years ago, in favor of YouTube Red. Google stated those apps being in violation of the YouTube ToS, but even when those apps removed the violating features, Google would find new reasons for keeping them off the Play Store. Well, and then they would sell those supposedly ToS-violating features themselves, as part of YouTube Red, like for example background playback.
Since then, most YouTube apps are knowingly in violation of the ToS or at least not holding their breath that Google might decide so.
So, either they don’t use the official YouTube API, like NewPipe and LibreTube, meaning you can’t log in with those. Or they don’t put in too much effort, like ReVanced just being a mod of the official app, so that won’t have the features you want. Or I guess, they just risk it for quick profit, like Grayjay, but that will probably get shut down before they have such features developed.
Theoretically, a non-ToS-violating app can exist and could be distributed via the Play Store, but it would basically not be able to integrate any unique feature.
So, yeah, as others said, I don’t think this exists.
You could try some alternative methods like:
I use Fira Sans and Fira Mono for everything.
Apparently, that will arrive with Plasma 6.
It says "Version Fixed In: 6.0” here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883
And the last comment in there, does also specify so.
Apparently, this is now part of kdeplasma-addons, so this might be in a separate package, which may not be pre-installed by your distro. I really don’t know, if it means anything, but Nate felt it worth mentioning here: https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/27/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wayland-color-management-the-desktop-cube-returns-and-optional-shadows-in-spectacle/
At $DAYJOB, I was evaluating a data collection software and needed some files for it to read. I had some random text files top-level in my home-directory, so I figured, I would just tell it to read from ~.
I expected that it might read directories recursively by default, but I could just stop it, if it does that.
What I didn’t expect, is that yes, it does read recursively, but also that by default, it deletes the files it has read. It had eaten a good chunk of my home-directory when I realized.
Now you might think, it doesn’t just delete the files, it transfers them to a different place, so surely, the data still exists. And you’d be right.
However, while it reads from directories recursively, it doesn’t retain the directory structure. So, the contents of my home-directory were all still there, just completely flattened in one big folder.
I can recommend Starship.
In Dolphin, you can click to the right of the path, like you would in a textbox.
I admit, it’s not the most intuitive method either, but when you hover your mouse there, it does change over to a text editing cursor, shows a caret-like line to the right of the path and will eventually throw up a tooltip that you can “Click to Edit Location”…
I also find it incredible, that there’s no GUI button to edit the path. You have to just kind of know that Ctrl+L does that…
Nah, Alpine is independent. It’s one of the more popular non-GNU/Linux distros.
Yeah, I do agree. It’s tricky for individual PeerTube instances to build up a sufficiently large community and thanks to the magic of federation, we don’t have to build all the community features into PeerTube, like traditional/centralized services do.
In case, you’re not aware, there’s SepiaSearch as a search engine across PeerTube instances…
The penguin is great, because it’s absolutely unprofessional. I’d rather Linux be a fun community get-together than a sterile corporate brand.
Taskmanager is actually privileged and can force close running apps. On KDE the same apps exist but they are not privileged enough
You can right-click on a process and select Send Signal → Kill. It will then ask for elevated privileges, if you’re trying to kill a process not directly started by you.
If you mean that some program really hangs your whole session, well, the last-ditch option is to switch to a TTY and kill it from there. But yeah, that one isn’t equipped with a nice GUI…
That usually doesn’t work, because you need all the dependencies, too. You can download each of those as .deb as well, if you really have no way of accessing the internet, but it’s certainly no fun.
The graph is from this article: https://peakoilbarrel.com/carrying-capacity-overshoot-and-species-extinction/
…which cites the article you linked, but also this paper: https://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/PDR37-4.Smil_.pgs613-636.pdf
It would be nicer, if it was in some renown journal, so we’d know some sort of peer review has taken place. This certainly could still be entirely made up. But it looks a lot more convincing/sourced than most articles.
