you bought one? Like in - one time payment with infinite time ownership?

Before it was sold, it was at a university library. The uni I went to had an open library, so anybody could come in. So either a student or somebody from the public, I guess.

I have a funny storry:

there is a book I really wanted to read. It is an old af psychology science book. There is no pirated version of it anywhere.

I found one copy of it on the used market and bought it because the price was ok (70$).

At home, I open it up and go through it properly and see that THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER WAS CUT OUT!!! Literally there were the ends of the pages still bound with strings and you can see a wavy scalpel cut where the rest of the page would be.

Thats the physical equivalent of an incomplete torrent. Felt so bad.

telecom is usually enceypted unless you get knocked down to lower g and I never suggested E-Mail or SMS.

Previously I had to use Whatsapp app to to talk with them

ah I see where our views split. I just told people what app to find me on and I'd rather call or write mail than use whatsapp for a tidbid of convenience.

So from my pov the interop will reduce security. From your pov it will be at worst equally insecure.

You just disproven your own first point.

If you chat with somebody and they have a client that is closed source and thus can not be trusted - your conversation is not secure, even if your client is open source and trusted and secure.

So interop makes end to end encrypted communication as a whole less secure, not more.

and that kids is why you always do an off service archive

(first time I heard of this github repo and I'd love to use it, but now it's gone)

add gamescope config/flags

I have a couple of games that don't capture the cursor or don't scale properly with my display config

arch

no

I found it pretty easy to see with thedynamic examples. It flashed "no result" for a second before showing a result for example, happened, especially the first time when searching something after a fresh boot.

For a static example - what the fuck is this result ordering? What do any of those apps except keepass have to do with "ke"?

collapsed inline media

here is another, when I want to start teamspeak, steam is the first result like WTF?

collapsed inline media

I find it is absolutely insane and deranged UX that the results where the app name STARTS with the entered substring are not at the top of the list.

I tried to reproduce those out of curiosity for a couple of minutes without much effort and I immediately saw that I have about 40% of those...

But the other 60% seem weird and my menu refused to behave like that. Maybe thats just luck, maybe it depends on version and distro. idk.

Very interesting and detailed post regardless.

never backquotes, it's unintuitive
