Trees need loving too

I don’t know about gnome, but on KDE you can disable touch support under settings>mouse & touchpad.

Pretty much the only time we need passports is if we travel outside the U.S. and territories. Those that take cruises or cross borders to other countries would, but generally speaking a majority of Americans don’t have passports.

Money for the most part for a lot of people.

Passports are $400+ USD, then there are the plane tickets, which are hundreds of dollars. Then to top it off you need to have room and board while looking for a job and someplace to live.

Another thing I’ve heard is fear of leaving the known and family.

Right now better than half or government doesn’t know how to govern. They are too busy fighting among themselves and imploding thanks to MAGA.

Walking or asking a friend if they have time, usually at a cost of some gas.

It’s a KWin scrip called Autocompose. Does endeavour ship it by default?

Endeavour installs a mostly default DE when you make your choice of which one to use, so most of the DE’s come as packaged by the devs. If I’m not mistaken Autocompose is a default script included with KDE.

I say mostly, because some parts of the DE you use is incompatible with the Arch ecosystem and disabled by default. For example, Discover on KDE is pretty much unusable on arch/EndeavourOS because the repos aren’t adequately designed for such a setup.

So do snaps and flatpacks. And they are still consider containerized / sandboxed. Appimages are the predecessors to snap and flatpack. The only difference is unlike Appimages they got it right for the most part.

Generally speaking the Appimages integrate with KDE better than all the other DE’s. The codes for Appimages are still containerized from the OS in general as defined in my last post.

Unlike snaps and flatpaks, Appimages aren’t containerized or sandboxed at all. They are only used to bundle (some) dependencies, so you don’t need to rely on packages provided by your distro’s package manager.

You might want to look up what Appimages are as well as what containerization is. To help I have found the following.

AppImage aims to be an application deployment system for Linux with the following objectives: simplicity, binary compatibility, portability, distro agnosticism, no installation, no root permission, and keeping the underlying operating system untouched.

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage#:~:text=AppImage%20is%20a%20format%20for,developers%2C%20also%20called%20upstream%20packaging.

As stated Appimages are containerized/sandboxed as it prevents needing to install any files on the OS.

Containerized applications are applications run in isolated packages of code called containers. Containers include all the dependencies that an application might need to run on any host operating system, such as libraries, binaries, configuration files, and frameworks, into a single lightweight executable.

As you can see, once again, your info is incorrect as this is another example of what Appimages are.

The thing about snaps and app image is they are containerized. The idea behind that is to help keep the apps separate from the main file subsystem by sandboxing them from each other as well as not cluttering your hdd with different versions of the same libraries to make them work.

Because of the sandboxing, once you close the app it stops running in the background therefore there is nothing to get notifications from.

IMHO, this is why snap and app image programs are not advisable for programs you may need notifications from on a, generally, required/needed basis.

As for superconductivity, the only way around that problem is to download from source, compile it and let it run natively on your system in the background, or add it to you auto startup list so it is running at boot time.

Because they all seem to think their beliefs are the true beliefs of what the Bible teaches. They will always be at war with one another.

The “teachings” of the Bible are all based on how one person interprets it compared to another, the individual churches all believe the same version as they were taught by their religious leaders, who in turn believe their ultimate religious leader, for example the Catholic Church (all variations) follow the pope and his interpretation.

Because they use personally identifying I for other than what you saw. In your comment does that mean you have a right to follow their personal life and invade it then sell it to others? No!

Your problem is you like being a commodity rather than just a consumer. You don’t mind your life being intruded on which could include cc numbers or bank account info. You want to lose your money like that that’s fine. Me personally, they can get out of my life and quit following what I want to do just to make a quick buck. Fuck that, me and my personal information is not for sale! And if anyone seems to think it is, I will stop them as that is my right.

Personally I think all tracking cookies should be banned on the internet worldwide! I am not a commodity.

This is true. However, they need to inform you that they are collecting this data, what data they are collecting, and why, and give you the option to opt out of that data collection.

Just because they can doesn’t give them the right to do so without your explicit permission.

Ubuntu wants you to use snap for all your app needs. I think their plan is to make repos only for os maintenance and installation and nothing else.

Because they listen to people rather than ignore them and then make policy based on how much money they can make from the deal.

This shows me the EU is actually more democratic then the US is.

Wish it was that simple. The problem with the internet, as a whole, is someone figured out they can collect just about everything from your data, with or without cookies, and sell it to big companies.

Everything is about that almighty dollar. We are now the product under the guise of being a consumer.

You want to complain about access being blocked because of where you live, fine just makes you an easy commodity to sell to someone else.

Tbf, you want complete anonymity, stay off the web, don’t use bank accounts or credit cards, not even those like cash app, become a hermit and tell everyone to fuck off as you are not for sale.

In reality, it’s policies, like the GDPR, that are actually looking out for your best interest. Here in America the arguement would be “they’re taking away my freedom” or “the government is overreaching” instead of “Hey, someone actually cares about my privacy in the government!”

Like I have said in another group, people complain about their privacy online and then use the likes of chrome for their browser. We say we care about our privacy, but in the end we are a tool that doesn’t do the job we need done.

Yeah if you aren’t used to hurricanes it can be difficult. I learned that after I move to Texas and got hit with my first one. I grew up in the Midwest o I was used to tornadoes, but tropical storms and hurricanes were completely new to me.

Problem we’re running into here is it’s so hot and dry we are starting to see fires caused by spontaneous combustion here.

Wish I could say the same. It’s been so hot here in Texas, you wanna sit around to be in the a/c.

Currently on week 4 of 100+ temps, and no relief in sight. They keep saying 50% chance on rain and 2 days later it’s no where to be seen forecasted. It’s so dry the grass crunches under your feet like you’re walking on sand spilled on pavement.

That’s the part that hurts. So much death necessary to move forward. I realize that’s the nature of society as we know it, but it would be nice if we could avoid all the senseless deaths to achieve it

I have found over the years you can apply a lot of the directions to whatever distro you are using. You just have to do some minor tweaking to the commands. Primarily using the right package manager command for your distro or using distro specific software in place of arch software. I have also found you can use a lot of the AUR programs by searching for said app in your repos.
