I believe desktop Linux suffers from what I would call overabstraction: giving users option to customize even where having a single robust choice is more preferable for everyone involved. It's like FOSS developers worship abstraction for the sake of abstraction, without carefully considering if it's improving situation of the system or making it worse...

>>106569174You can replace the file picker it's just a skin issue sar and paste text on middle click is an xorg thing i believe, could be different on gayland
>>106569174>i can't even replace the file picker with a non-shitty one>i also can't disable "paste text on middle mouse click" (i use it to auto-scroll in the browser) because it's hard-coded and built-inmy friend, there is here a very large difference between "cannot be changed" and "i can't", and the difference lies in your person. I do recommend in these cases windows, or in fact macos. Not because they are easier to use or configure, but rather to ensure that the infection does not spread.

What exactly is the deal with all these different terminal emulator programs like Kitty, Alacritty, and Ghostty? I've been using Linux for a couple months now, and I've just been using the one that comes with my DE whenever I have to do something in the terminal. It works. Why would I want to use something different?

The iPhone 17 pro is being discounted by $600 if you buy one via a teleservice provider. I currently have a 14 pro, is it worth it? It'd end up costing $50/month and that's including the $20 that I usually pay for 5G.
Here in the USA our carriers are offering $1,100 off a new 17 Pro with a trade in if a 13 Pro and up.

>>106569347You are comparing old people on facebook and street murderers, they are not on the same game. The pushback will be under the law, with law enforcement, which surely will make people complain about police brutality. That is, if the police is not already bribed over like the police in the UK.

Big search engines like Google and Bing are known to track what you search and share that info with advertisers, which is why a lot of people don’t feel totally free to search whatever they want anymore.Here are a few I’ve come across. I’d love to hear what others are using too!DuckDuckGo – Great for simple, untracked searchesStartpage – Delivers Google results without the profilingBrave Search – Strong privacy with its own independent indexMyAllSearch – Clean interface with a focus on user privacyQwant – GDPR-compliant, with servers based in EuropeYandex – Russian based search engine, has it's own crawler
Is there a search engine where I can 'hide' sites or domains.I never want to see Jeets4Jeets ever again.

What's a better alternative?
>>106567521It's UI is iphone shit
>>106570478I read about how the protocol is supposed to work and I like it in principle. The founder intends to make money by selling hosting/support/features rather than going to enshittification route.However there is only one implementation and it has a massive number of dependencies. Dunno if they've had an audit. That implementation is controlled by the same people who develop the protocol itself too. The UX has flaws, it's very annoying to turn off the default servers.It was pretty easy to set up my own server for it, though I will say that for a long time it had some truly abhorrent network delays when used over tor, and the client had some kind of graphics fuckup that made it slow as balls when run through my firejail config.On the other hand you got good ol' XMPP. Many server and client implementations, established open standards, all open source stuff. There is OMEMO e2ee and servers have SSL. You may be better off setting up your own XMPP server and calling it a day. In environments like that there is an element of heterogeneity that makes it hard to backdoor everything at once too, like I get my Gajim updates over a linux package manager and the server gets them over a different one, all signed and all implemenations run by different people, way fewer dependencies than Simplex. Whereas with simplex it's all pretty much managed by a single team.Plus as >>106570747 it has a weird UI. We want UIs that look like hexchat or something not... that. I would even go as far as to say that the UI and web style that they use to try to give you the professional look is exactly the thing that gives it honeypot vibes.

Does anyone have the Steam 2024 build? The current Steam version has a software issue causing severe drift with the Steam Controller's gyro. I rolled back to the 07/2023 build, which works perfectly, but I lost the "gyro to mouse" feature, and it's really frustrating. I came across a September 2024 build that I'm about to test, but as far as I know, Valve introduced gyro-to-mouse support in November 2024.Is anyone still using a Steam Controller? How did you encounter and resolve this issue? Did you also roll back?
>>106568505Like this.I’m not sure what’s going on under the hood, but the drift after just a few minutes of playing is so frustrating, which is why I’m searching for a November 2024 build.
>>106568615I can't display it properly. I upgraded to the current version so I could at least play with the DualShock I have (gyro as mouse). Those three icons should align straight. If you shake it and then place it on a table, they should reset to a straight position. It doesn't matter if it shows zero noise; the calculations or whatever process it's using are flawed, which is why the icons are misaligned and why it drifts after a short period of time.
>>106568615Oh, I didn't realize the icons moved along with the controller! Will check again.
>>106568459Here is a screenshot, so you can see the icon orientation. Sure enough, the middle icon is upside down. Please excuse the photo of my screen. Oddly, I didn’t notice drift while testing gyro mouse in Chrome. But I only did so for about a minute.
