I like this take. If anything, languages knowledge helps with dialogue, not only thanks to speaking the language. Seeing how language and history interacts between peoples gives a better understanding of the complex modern contexts.
Editing and changes no, creating new maybe? But likely WoC blocks this because they can’t have players make up their own stories, that’s against the spirit of role playing games (jkjk, shareholder interests).

IIRC krunner works as a commandline tool, so maybe you could do what you want with something like yakuake, or even make a wrapper for krunner with those additional options.
It seems like something I could use as well. I’ll note it down to take a look later.
And the regression from last patch with drag and drop freezing Dolphin entirely seems unfixed. Honestly I think it’s the first time in 7 years I’m affected by an annoying KDE bug, but it still stings regressions are not first priority :(
I used linux intermittently in the last 15 or so years, migrating from early Ubuntu versions, to Manjaro, Pop!_OS, Debian, etc. And decided to give Arch a try just recently; with all the memes around its high entry point, I was really expecting to struggle for a long time to set it up just as I want....
Honestly I recommend to anyone who can do some html and css to try Animotion or some other reveal.js based framework. I can’t look at PowerPoint and derivatives anymore.
My Linux usage was: Ubuntu, then Arch, then I got tired of it and took a break from Linux. I found Fedora KDE in 2017 and been using it ever since. Only reinstalled once to switch to btrfs and it went surprisingly smooth.
I like Arch, and I love the wiki, but I appreciate sane defaults and ease of use. I’d rather optimize down than pull features out of repos.
Another distro I’d check would be Suse, or one of the immutables, starting with the Fedora KDE one. When I have time for it.
Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....
I’m fairly sure the project is funding Linux kernel contributions, so if you’re using latest kernel releases the improvements mentioned are already in (if your desktop manager makes use of them).
I agree. A lot of profits wouldn’t be cash saved, for one taxes that you aren’t losing to multinational corporations headquartered in Ireland or Cyprus.
Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn’t targeting desktop Linux.
There’s a bunch of things french are doing themselves instead of importing exactly because they want to maintain technological independence and promote local industry.
Around 2000 or so, I used to work in tech support for a software company who had like 5000 Windows-based customers and 5 running Solaris. My boss chose me to learn Solaris when the previous “expert” left. I bought this book and started hacking. Good times!
In polish we have an idiom for rare books that directly translates to ‘white crow’. Incidentally French say ‘merle blanc’ - ‘white blackbird’. French influenced polish a lot during late modernity. Anyway where was I.
Ah, yeah likely not very rare, they must have messed a whole print run and decided to sell it off anyway, maybe at a discount, since it’s not a limited hardback illuminated Shakespeare’s works in 5 tomes.
I finished Control last week, likely the best game to marry a creepy funhouse with a sprawling government office that you’ll ever play. I was up and down on this one for a few months. There’s a fun narrative and plenty of atmosphere, but I wasn’t always enjoying the gameplay....
Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It’s a joy to use....
Reports of months of crunch before Cyberpunk’s release make the image pretty clear. There’s bunch of small indies and some midsized contractor companies in Poland, but not many on AAA level. Techland, CDP and People Can Fly (I think they are independent from Epic again?) are the only ones I can think of. Oh 11bit maybe.
