been using Arch for years but i am still a novice, yesterday i had found that in order for something to work on my system i will need to edit a few lines in kernel which i did, then removed unnecessary modules > intel, > nvidia, compiled. it worked great but with Arch and its rolling release i am dreading the next update and having to go through this again. what methods are there to automate this process?

at a divest rally with Palestine Solidarity one of the protestors gave me this book recommendation.

Worth a read?

Ebooks, audo, and snipping all in one place.

tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging? here's mine: sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash. system service 'switch-to-tty1.service' ``` [Unit] Description=Switch to tty1 on resume After=suspend.target

[Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh

[Install] WantedBy=suspend.target 'switch-to-tty1.service' executes '/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh' and send user to tty1 #!/bin/bash

Switch to tty1

chvt 1 .bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1. if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then chvt 2 logout fi ```

also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren't great.

Noticed these strange looking balls that may pass for an art installation but imagine maybe temperature control?

Screen on event crashes PC and corrupts journalctl, seems to be an issue with edid.

Currently solution has been moving to TTY1 then moving back to sway (tty2) as TTY seems to have no issue handling these events.

Where can I start trouble shooting this?

ultrawade oled, lots of custom scripts.

I wanted to share a setup I’ve been using to maintain a clean desktop while using Firefox in fake fullscreen mode. This setup allows Firefox to run fullscreen with auto-hiding tabs and search elements that only show when hovered over, without pushing the webpage content down.

• Install cage, can be found for most distros
• Run and test application -d removes desktop decorations, firefox command 'firefox -somecommand' cage 'firefox' -d
• If running correctly edit launch options in de or .desktop file Exec=cage 'firefox' -d then install auto-fullscreen extension

its a long work around especially when its possible to get a similar result from editing about:config but this way the tab and searchbar act as a seperate element meaning no misclicking. if anyone has cleaner solution chime in please.

I made this community as a reaction to the July 4th general election taking place in the United Kingdoms, to mobilize my fellow comrades in the lead-up to the general elections, the group is party agnostic though there is an obvious bias due in part to my political affiliation but all leftest parties that fight for dignity and the working class are very much welcome.

By all means feel free to join where ever you may come from whether for information or solidarity.

In solidarity.

This graph can acts as a great example, easily deployable and any sensible person will see the absolute ludicrously that is often misunderstood. I hope anyone out in the field can find utility in this.

Solidarity.

Will I see any Lemmy comrades at the event?

Reading is a recent development for me in the grand scheme of things, dyslexia meant I was hindered till I was about 18, picking up my first actual book 1984 at the age of 24.

10 years later I read roughly 3 books a year.

Currently reading Manufacturing Consent and whilst I knew news media is often misleading, to what extent was not clear sadly I now know the extent.

I'd like to have a conversation about Manufacturing Consent and what people have come away with. Other books too like Bullshit Jobs and Ordinary Men were big shift for my world view, so talking about and recommendations of similar books as well please.

socialism where i am based is a small movement, we assist with union action and campaigning but lack the numbers to run in election other than local election so i just want to put out a friendly reminder that if your a socialist join a party, sell news papers or hand out flyers.

we must mobilize.

i say this because people are begging for an alternative to capitalism, the amount of engagement i receive from the public whilst assisting the party is outstanding.

please find your local parties and help show others an alternative.

i avoid hype but as a massive fan of the original kcd and the honesty of this reveal, im hyped! wont be pre-ordering though, never pre-order its bad for the industry and consumers.

Web browsers were very limited compared to today's offerings but still very extensive when compared to other applications. Now, browsers on desktop are at a point where they're equivalent to an OS in scope.

This frustrates me as it's led to stagnation, where very few companies can hold their position. Firefox can only keep up due to preexisting groundwork and the large amount of funding from Google. Chrome had billions thrown at it to quickly enter the market.

The thing that kills it the most for me is there is no way to fix the massive amount of effort needed for a web browser. It's extensive because it has to deal with thousands of situations: image rendering, video rendering, markup language support (HTML), CSS support, JavaScript support, HTML5 support, security features, tabbed browsing, bookmarking and history, search engine integration, cross-platform compatibility, performance optimisation, developer tools, accessibility features, privacy controls, codec support, to name a few.

Now, for my unpopular opinion: stripping back a general-purpose browser to its core, forcing web redesign, and modularising the browser. Rather than watching videos in the browser, an instance of VLC would be started where the video will be streamed. Instead of an integrated password manager and bookmarks, we have something akin to KeepassXC with better integration. Markup documents and articles automatically open in word processing applications. I know this idea seems wholly impossible now, but it often crosses my mind.
