Luckily, I never have to deal with this since I wear compression socks! Unluckily, I have to wear them if I don’t wanna faint


Yay! :3


Head pats? Please please please!
Just letting you know, much of the blacked out/whited out text can still be read fairly easily. You should increase the opacity on the pen tool when attempting to redact text. Or even better, do so on a desktop where you can more easily edit photos.


It is Krysten Ritter, yes. But this is from breaking Bad where she plays the character Jane
Sorry, I’ve revised my comment, so it’s more complete now. As my comment states above, it’s because by default, the digital clock widget (which is placed by default on the task bar–y’know, where it shows the time) has “Show events” enabled by default, which has a dependency on Akonadi. If you uncheck that (and keep in mind that you are using the digital clock widget unless you’ve specifically removed it), and make sure not to use any of the KDE PIM Applications stated above, then Akonadi will never start
If you’re using the digital clock widget, that uses Akonadi, and will launch it on startup. It’s used to (optionally) sync calendar events between compatible apps. There are also a handful of KDE PIM Applications that use it (think Kontact, KMail, KAddressBook, KOrganizer). If you want it disabled, you will need to stop using any Akonadi-enabled app. More information can be found at the KDE userbase for Akonadi. In particular, stop using any KDE PIM Application, as they cannot function without it, and disable calendar syncing from the digital clock. That will ensure the service is never started.
To fix the digital clock problem:
To ensure that Akonadi is not started, check that no applications require it at login. In particular, open the Plasma clock applet preferences, go to Calendar and uncheck Show events to prevent Plasma from requesting information from Akonadi and thus allowing it to start.


As others have said, dd will work, or if you really want, you can download the x86 Linux AppImage file from Balena’s website, extract it, then just run it (you may need to mark it as executable first). Should work just fine, and it’ll give you the same GUI as always


In this economy? Yeah, right


No one asked for your opinion, so unless you have tips to actually answer OP’s question, feel free to fuck right off :)


So, I have some complicated feelings about this message. I’m not gonna touch on the font, as that’s already been done, but rather just the message. Autism does not imply nonconformity and nonconformity does not imply autism. I know neurotypicals that are nonconformists, and I know autistic folks who mask so deeply that they conform just like any average neurotypical. Autism is much more than simply the act of conformity/nonconformity. And I think the biggest problem I have here is that for autistic folks, nonconformity is (most often) not a choice. It’s simply the way we function, and often times masking doesn’t feel like a choice, either. It’s more of a necessity to survival.
I struggle to praise the idea that autism is a performance art as is being loosely implied in this statement. I consider it a way of life rather than a conscious, artistic choice. Especially for those with severe presentations that are disabling, I feel like this statement is exceptionally exclusionary.


For me personally (as a trans woman), I use a special gaff from LeoLines that’s basically padded compression panties, and just pull everything back until it’s all under and not in front. It smooths everything out to look natural for me. I can wear leggings that way, too! However, I was blessed with being a “grower”, so YMMV


Unfortunately, though the reserved memory is sequential, the order in which items are added is pseudorandom, and gravity prevents random access, so you would still need a linear search of O(n) time to find any given item.


This is why I recommended Aurora and Bazzite. Both have codecs built into the base image, and have versions with Nvidia drivers built in. Bazzite has Steam baked into the base image, so no problem with flatpak, and even as a power user, I’ve never once had to deal with RPM Fusion on Aurora or Bazzite.


Honestly, I’d recommend anything with KDE Plasma, as the shortcuts are dead simple to set up. Personally, I use Aurora on my non-gaming PC and Bazzite on my gaming PC. They’re both Fedora Atomic derivatives, which really means the system itself “just works”. You can set up Win+V in the shortcuts section of the settings to launch the Clipboard Manager, which I believe is what you’re looking for. As for the VM, use a KVM manager (like virt-manager). It will have native functionality for all your needs there, though I can’t remember if shared clipboard is bidirectional or not (though that could likely be fixed). I can’t recall if it’s installed by default on either Aurora or Bazzite, but if not then you can just install it from the software store. Most things a normal user would want to install are available in the built-in software store (no going to websites and downloading dangerous exe files), and if something isn’t, then with Aurora or Bazzite, you can either check for an AppImage from the program’s download page (which is kind of like a portable exe in Windows), or layer the package. Layering is generally a last resort, as it can make updating take longer and cause inconsistency across installs, but to do it, you can just look up “how to install [program name] in Fedora” and swap the sudo dnf install for rpm-ostree install.
The great thing about the atomic distros I recommended are that they’re generally “just works” distros with all the codecs, drivers, and such installed by default. They’re also very resilient and stable, and if anything breaks, you can select the old version in the GRUB menu on boot to revert back to a known working version of your OS and then just rpm-ostree rollback in the terminal. Updates can happen entirely in the background, and while they need a reboot to apply (as would also be required with layering a new package), the boot time is not affected. The update us applied while booted with no disruption to the user, and when it reboots, the OS just switches to the new, updated branch. No “Updating… Please wait” screens. You wouldn’t even notice an update.
I tend to recommend atomic distros to new users, as they’re far less prone to breakage, thus causing less frustration. Hope this helps!
I used to use neovim primarily, but mostly use Kate now, as I’ve switched away from programming for the most part. I’ve had plenty of situations where the only text editor available is vi, and I’m able to get by no problem. I do usually prefer nano over vi if it’s an option, though that may get me crucified lol


Love this reply! It also fascinates me why alcohol consumption is so normalized. I personally choose not to drink it, even when going out to bars, and I don’t like the effect that it can have on people. Granted, much of my socialization comes from gay bars, so I’m around drunk people quite often. It’s so strange to me that it’s so normalized when it has such a strong negative effect on people and is responsible for so much violence and death. Granted, I used to drink, I used to do other things, so I understand that it often serves as an escape, but I’ve found that it really isn’t a good or healthy way to manage your emotions, and I really don’t think it should be praised the way it is in society.


Actually, alcohol is no longer recommended for direct use on wounds. It can damage the surrounding healthy tissue, cause the area to experience excessive dryness, and increase the recovery time of the wound. The best way to clean a wound is to use warm soapy water or saline to flush the wound out.
Funnily enough, this also follows the same route as drinking alcohol. Alcohol used to be recommended as a remedy to illness (typically as some form of tonic), but our modern understanding suggests it is harmful in that regard, as we also now understand for its use in wound care (though the difference is that rubbing alcohol is technically better than doing nothing as it does lower risk of infection, but washing with warm soapy water is much better).
Honestly, it depends on the day, my outfit, and where I’m going. Most of the time I keep a small-medium size crossbody purse on me, but if I wanna dress up, I’ll get a small, cute little purse. I need to get a large purse at some point bc I find it a bit too often that I need the extra room, especially if I’m going out for a long time and need to bring water.
