Some newer laptops use MIPI cameras which aren’t as consistently supported on Linux yet. The situation has improved a lot in the last couple years, but if you can, check compatibility for the specific laptop and distribution/kernel version you plan to use.

@Evil_Shrubbery Haven’t gotten the update yet, but based on the release notes it appears 3.7 introduces an emoji search box, which was much-needed! Really happy to see that.

@Reisen Among other things, it’s useful in terminals where the standard ctrl-c/ctrl-v send a control signal rather than copy/paste. Most terminals nowadays have some other copy/paste shortcut so it’s less important now, but a lot of us still find it convenient.

@ggtdbz @Hello_there The author actually has a post on this, too: https://xn–gckvb8fzb.com/never-click-on-a-link-that-looks-like-that/

(I’m guessing you deliberately avoided it since the person you’re responding to would also refuse to click that but I think it’s an interesting read for anyone who hasn’t seen it)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Good stuff, love the drag and drop improvements!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Omg THANK YOU for the per-workspace layouts.

@prole Fedora, which Bazzite is based on, disables this at boot time by default. There are instructions on how to enable it in Fedora here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Sysrq#How_do_I_enable_the_magic_SysRq_key?

@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They’ve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw’s decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they’ve been pretty open about discussing it. You’re way off-base.

@agressivelyPassive You should still clean your kitchen though, that’s my point.

@agressivelyPassive @technom That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don’t need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren’t strictly necessary, but they’re very useful for managing that history.
