I shall have to try KDE. I've been an xfce user for years but have been hearing good things about KDE.


Protip: Use krunner (Alt-Space) to launch applications once you know their names. It has autocompletion and many neat features such as web shortcuts: Type gg: or dd: <search terms> to open a tab in your configured default browser with Google or DuckDuckGo search. Not very discoverable but very convenient. You can also create your own web shortcuts in KDE system settings.

krunner also supports opening Kate (the KDE editor, roughly similar to Sublime Text) sessions directly.


It's also a calculator and unit converter!


I use freelance now.


Don't know anything about the mayor but what he said seems reasonable to me. As a cyclist myself I have no problem merging into traffic if my lane is blocked, my experience though is most cyclists don't like to stop so end up cutting into the live lane putting themselves at risk.

Disclosure: not American don't know the rules there.


This is true, I mean I should be in bed right now, I'll be up in 5 hours. But what am I doing? Watching Jessica Jones and writing this message, I'm definitely going to regret it in the morning!


>Give it 10 years and people will be keeping their phones until they break.

That's basically me right now, still have my trusty sgs2 running lineageOS and will continue to have it till it breaks


I don't have anything against Facebook I just have no use for it. I have no use for any social media platform. They are a waste of my time.


Having no talent and no achievements I have no plans for this. My only wish is my browsing history dies with me.


Yes.

Have a point and shoot for decent pictures, my current phone's camera is pants.

Handy as maps are I wonder what privacy I'm giving up using them.

I don't use sensors.

I've actually considered recently getting a dumb phone.


Weren't these civil actions taken by private citizens/rights group?

The courts are just agreeing with these citizens/rights group. It's not like an EU agency is targeting Facebook unfairly.

Personally I can only see this as a good thing. As a non-user I don't want Facebook tracking me. Same as I don't want tracked by any other company.


Thanks for this. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I used to use VM's for this but it was a right pain.

As an aside I used this guide having discovered it a couple of years ago. I can't remember how but I ended up on a site that had been hacked, might have been following a link from a forum, and the page I was looking for wasn't there. Instead there was a link on the page saying it had been moved. I stupidly clicked the link and off I went to a random site that I can only assume was meant to drop some form of malware or take control on my browser. Anyway all I was left with was a message congratulating me on how secure my browser was, I didn't stay around.
