That is a good tip. Unfortunately, I am too fish to understand it. 🙃

I just type ps and in 9 out of 10 cases, my shell suggests ps -ef | grep <process-name>. So, it’s actually less for me to type than “pgrep”…

Ah, that was a brainfart. I do use pkill primarily. I just use the other command, when I’m not sure what the process is called…

Yeah, I especially don’t understand it here, because it’s a graphical tool. You don’t have to keep backwards compatibility.

Even if you’re worried about people depending on the format that’s being piped, you could keep only the piped format stable. We have the technology.

Yeah, I would often just grab htop because I had no idea how to read the CPU usage out of top.
For example, for me it says:

%Cpu(s):  0,4 us,  0,4 sy,  0,0 ni, 98,8 id,  0,0 wa,  0,3 hi,  0,0 si,  0,0 st

Now that I look at it, I can guess that us and sy are supposed to be user and system time. And I guess id is supposed to be idle.
I have no guess what the other numbers might be, though. And well, I would often like to see the CPU usage per core.
Now I know that I can just press 1t and get effectively the same view as in htop.

I might learn top’s filtering workflow, too. But so far, I always killed processes with ps -ef | grep <process-name> and then kill <pid>, which isn’t particularly more cumbersome, so will see…

What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected?

I know that the terminal emulator built into the JetBrains IDEs works that way…

“Liebe die Liebe”. It’s a complete sentence, probably. 🙃

(Translation would be: “Love (the) love”)

I can’t really sell this as a solution, as it requires quite a lot more involvement than a simple configuration file should, but I use Nix Home Manager with Plasma Manager for this.

This is part of the tooling you’d use on NixOS, but you can use it on other distros, too, and it generally works fine (although I’m not sure, if the current version of Plasma Manager still supports Plasma 5, in case you’re still on a distro with that).

Basically, it allows you to define e.g. keyboard shortcuts like this:

    shortcuts = {
      ksmserver = {
        "Lock Session" = [
          "Screensaver"
          "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+L"
        ];
      };

      kwin = {
        "Expose" = "Meta+,";
        "Switch Window Down" = "Meta+J";
        "Switch Window Left" = "Meta+H";
        "Switch Window Right" = "Meta+L";
        "Switch Window Up" = "Meta+K";
      };
    };

It then fucks up the formatting, so that it looks like KDE expects, and throws it into ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc.
(KDE does actually have a text-based config, it’s just borderline unusable.)

Well, and you can do this with lots of other Plasma options, too. Here’s their official example: https://github.com/nix-community/plasma-manager/blob/trunk/examples/home.nix

I’d argue that it’s Android’s DE for Linux.

Works fine for me. ¯\_( ᵔ ~ ᵔ )_/¯

A colleague always complains that KDE looks like Windows. She does also get jealous, though, when she sees me using poweruser features.

Yeah, I don’t keep up with movies or series, but I know that the non-blue sequel is called “Korra” or something. Never heard “Way of the Water” before.

These days, lots of detergents actually work better in cold water. They contain enzymes for dissolving e.g. blood stains, and those enzymes are typically proteins, which fall apart when heated too much. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe (most?) proteins fall apart around 42°C. This might be simplifying far too much.

But yeah, basically you want to generally wash at 30°C.

I can do it by whistling through the gap in my teeth…

Typically, touchpad gestures (particularly multi-touch gestures) will work better on Wayland, because it has libinput.

Ja. 🙃

But are there actually folks in the movie crowd, who very seriously say that a movie has got to be bad, because it fails the Bechdel test?

I heard about it for the first time with this post and immediately interpreted it to be highly tongue-in-cheek. Like it might be an additional metric to know what kind of movie to expect, but you should still look at actual quality ratings to learn of the quality…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test

By the way, absolutely incredible that this Wikipedia article has two sections, Limitations AND Criticism, which both feel the need to point out that this test does not actually reflect the quality of a movie.

Yeah, it’s explicitly built to run in a browser: https://agama-project.github.io/
