fun with orca (lemmy.zip)
submitted 21 hours ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So it would appear that Orca and the cinnamon desktop environment do not particularly like each other.

Since cinnamon is a fork of the gnome project, it somewhat works. Like I can view my desktop icons and use the terminal and view files in the file manager. But I cannot use the start menu, view the panel and system tray, etc.

Also, it appears while the file manager does let me view files and folders. I can't shift tab through other functionality from the file manager.

Somewhat related, I'm surprised Starlink doesn't seem to accept crypto because it seems like it would be incredibly difficult to pay with a credit card for Starlink service in some of these African countries.

I always run my battery between 30% at the low end and 80% at the high end and it automatically stops charging at 80% and I have an alert set to tell me when it's done and I have another alert set to notify me when it gets below 30% at which point I plug it in.

Now it needs to be figured out how to do it in an open source way so that we don't have to rely on Daddy Google for people who don't use Google Play Services and all that other crappy shit.

More battery issues? Seriously? I feel like this is common with these devices now, apparently.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, it's one of those battery overheating issues. Again, seriously?

It's a Google update. Lineage doesn't do Google updates.

Ubuntu 10.10 was my first linux. Though 11.04 was released soon after my switch.

My first experience with 10.10 was as a virtual machine on my school issued Dell Latitude D505 laptop with Windows XP, a dual core 32-bit processor and 512 megs of RAM. And boy, let me tell you, it ran like shit. But I knew that it was because I was virtualizing it and didn't hold that against it.

I can't remember what it was called, but I eventually installed this OS on my flash drive that was meant to be eco-friendly for old devices. It had a very green wallpaper. And just used that instead of ever booting into windows by changing the boot order and leaving the flash drive plugged in at all times.

Edit: I remember now. It was called Watt OS.

Oh nice. I've known about that menu for a while and use it to keep my phone locked as the article mentions. But it's cool that it's getting a refresh.

I use a screen reader due to being blind, and this would be incredibly helpful. Mind you, I sure as hell wouldn't use Windows in order to get it. But if I had the option to do this on Linux, I would totally go for it.

I have not read the article yet, but I will be doing so after posting this. But from what I understand, concentrated cells via lenses already exist. The problem with them was keeping them cool.

Going to go read the actual article now.

Edit: Well, the article was very sparse on details. From what I understand of the comments, what's really been done here is making cells that can stand the kind of heat that would be focused onto them from the glass.

I want to say I saw a video about this a year ago or so, but it was more solar thermal, where you focus a bunch of mirrors onto a single point high up on a tower, and it's cooled by molten salt. But as I said, that's solar thermal, not solar power electricity.

So I use a combination of magnification gestures and Talkback but I've noticed that in bard if I click search and Find a book and then I turn on my screen reader in order to actually read the description it always goes back to the search page and I lose what I was on. It is really annoying because no other app does that
