You should probably just write it down in an article and point to it, would be way more effective. (The vim users says)

There are many, many articles written about the subject... I think Alice/ Lesik linked to one the other day in another group, right, @Wolfshappen?

No idea, but that'd be another thing to add to my wiki, right. XD

Hey guys, just wanted to share something pretty neat! Only recently found out, but I'm thrilled as its another way to give back to the Linux community. Linux Tracker now offers the ability to mine during your session to help fund the site! This is optional, but if you feel like helping contribute, LinuxTracker.org is the place to go!

I was pretty hyped to see this. I seed torrents all the time, but it's nice to be able to share my CPU power for this :D

Anyone running the Flatpak for Peek? Can you reproduce that the close button is on the left rather than right?

I'll give it a try :D

I'll give it a try :D

Thanks! ?

Thanks! ?

I do see this as well, yeah

(Never actually heard of Peek before now actually, I'm liking it! :D)

Thanks for testing! Yes, it's an amazing piece of software.

Can you please add your comment that you can confirm?

https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/266

Maybe it's a Fedora-specific issue here...

What does it do?

Will do :)

Dude, chill.

He's right tho..

You mean Peek? It creates GIF animations in a very easy way. Awesome tool

I just found that it does MP4 (and some other) formats as well!

Holy cow this is cool, haha

Oh, we're all entitled to use different desktops. I use XFCE on small laptops or netbooks, and KDE on the big ones. I like them both.

Yeah it's really a pearl of a software

I agree. The tea helped, btw. Satiated my thirst and resolved my grumpiness ;)

+1 Nice to see it as a Flatpak as well.

There used to be a problem on kde, where touchpad toggle only turned it off. Never turned it back on.. Can someone on kde check it ?

Will check rn

Yeah, I've seen it, if I use the touchpad toggle key on my keyboard... (Mageia 6)

The gains you get over slow and batteryeating firefox, together with more security and all are just worth it in the end.

Firefox Quantum is not slow on my laptops (4/6 GB) but on netbooks I prefer Chromium and Vivaldi. With adblocks. Otherwise they're all annoying and slow, no matter what.

Hmm, doesn't turn back on, no. But I restarted and then I could do it.

Oh, I know. Tea is the cure for almost everything. ?

Yeah, I remember that but it has been fixed for a long while now.

I mean i just tried yesterday lol

Hmm, doesn't turn back on, no. But I restarted and then I could do it.

So, toggling works?

Yes, but only after a restart.

Oh, really? Maybe it's hardware related or the bug popped up again. Please, can you tell me what version of Fedora did you try and on what kind of computer?

Some people on Github made a Spectre/Meltdown vulnerability checking script, that's nice

Found it accidentally, here it is: https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker (NO, THAT IS NOT ADS)

The Linux Lite team?

So no, chromium users dont need to worry about google snorkeling all their search requests to duckduckgo or sending analytics data.

TBH, I didn't understand this and the previous message. Would you mind to explain it a bit, please?

Dude, chill.

Tobias gets emotional when it comes to browser, dunno why.

For those that think automatic update checks are bad.

Configure it to manual updates or any other option you prefer. It's not mandatory to have automatic updates on.

That's insane! I didn't realize it also modified web content instead of just displaying it

I never seen this working. I think it's disabled by default.

Oh, really? Maybe it's hardware related or the bug popped up again. Please, can you tell me what version of Fedora did you try and on what kind of computer?

Lol, On Gnome, cinnamon it works, on kde doesn't. I tried it on F26, F27, Debian KDE, KDE neon, arch.. even kali

Eh, he`s convinced me to switch to Spot`s Chromium

Because i often see FUD spread against chromium still being a data sucking monster. The ungoogled fork exists because some people need the additional privacy of it never connecting to google and happily running outdated addons manually installed and thats fine. But then adding the salt of fear makes me just... like that.

You may have seen it, but we didn't. There was just a simple question, and often it's something like this. Someone asks something about Chrome or about Firefox and you immediately jump on your feet to say how horrible Firefox is. It's a bit of an overreaction me think.

What about the hardware? I've been using KDE without an issue. I remember that bug long ago, but maybe it's not like it was totally fixed but that I changed computers ?

Eh, he`s convinced me to switch to Spot`s Chromium

He didn't convince me. Just the way he speaks makes me ignore the whole bunch.

Well, he`s passionate!

Yeah... I noticed.

H-hey

TBH, I didn't understand this and the previous message. Would you mind to explain it a bit, please?

Chromium users that worry after hearing of ungoogled-chromium that the free chromium may still send all their data straight to google do not need to, was what i was saying

Well, what's the best open-source nontracking browser?

What about the hardware? I've been using KDE without an issue. I remember that bug long ago, but maybe it's not like it was totally fixed but that I changed computers ?

The touchpad itself can be toggled, the fn shortcut works on gnome. And kde can toggle it if i assign seperate key combos for it

Well, what's the best open-source nontracking browser?

What do you mean by best? Best for what?

What do you mean by best? Best for what?

for using, of course

Firefox?

Found it accidentally, here it is: https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker (NO, THAT IS NOT ADS)

You don't need it :) there is already a simple method in kernel

never heard of it

Just check ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/

Wow

ERROR: S client not available

for using, of course

Or maybe the brave browser?

qutebrowser

:^)

Just check ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/

not all my distros have this

I mean, Fedora can do it, but not Slackware

Just check ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/

I get a no such file or directory error

On Fedora?

It works on Fedora for me

Kernel-Version?

Most of linux users are using different distros so maybe this script is still needed

Kernel-Version?

4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6

Any Chrome/Chromium/Hangouts users here? If I go fullscreen F11 during a call and don't move the mouse, my screen is shutting down after a while. Are there hacks to prevent it from doing so?

Oh, now I see. I never use shortcuts. I thought you were switching from System Settings, not using the keyboard.

Speaking of Meltdown, OpenSUSE fix appeared only yesterday

4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6

According to some mailinglists it only exists in 4.14.x kernels. So it wasn't backported

which explains why it doesn't exist, blame your maintainers ;)

setting screen timeout to never

or gnome addons to click to disable locking

Cool! Which extension is that?

I like that it times out, just not during the call please. :-P

caffeine keeps it awake

you need the it version tough

my distro has updated kernels, so...

As the articles points out, that's the kernel way to check it. If it's fixed but no directory, then there is still something to backport for the distro.

didn't work too
