When someone named Kafka says it’s the “weirdest”…that says something!
I learned the term “glass cliff” when she was hired.

KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.
It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.
But the main issue I’ve run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are…let’s just say they’re not designed with touch input in mind.
KelsonV@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app – reportEnglish231·2 years agoIt’s unclear what evidence Twitter has that former employees who now work at Meta continue to have access to Twitter intellectual property or trade secrets. Twitter responded to a request for comment with an automated email of a poop emoji.
Or for once the poop emoji is an accurate representation of the “evidence.”
Stopped clock and all that.
KelsonV@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?4·2 years agoMy main desktop has been upgraded continuously from RHL5 (no E) in ~1999 to Fedora 38 today.
Well, almost continuously. I’ve done at least one fresh install, when I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit hardware.
Edit: I have used a lot of other distros on other boxes, both physical and virtual - I’ve just stuck with Fedora on that one.
Technically true, yes. Useful for the question being asked? Not so much.

I keep trying email clients, but end up going back to Thunderbird. It still looks clunky, but it works well, and the new UI is in beta, so it should look better soon!

KelsonV@lemmy.worldto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What can I use my basic VPS for?1·2 years agoI’ve found that GoToSocial and Calckey both use a lot less in resources than Mastodon does.
Fedora on my desktop, Alpine on cloud servers, Debian on my Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu for work. Also messing around with Arch, Debian, and PeppermintOS on some older boxes.
I’ve only installed a handful, but they’ve all worked fine except for KeePassXC-Browser - and that’s partly q known issue with a workaround and partly Flatpak (which made it hard to apply the workaround)
