Kill the same people twice

There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.

Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.

I tried a USB KVM switcher. I only recall there were serious issues and it didn’t last long.

Now I use a high quality USB dock and physically unplug/re-replug a work and personal laptop. That’s been a simple and reliable solution.

For my home server, I ssh into it.

I remember that this existed, but I don’t remember why.

Corel was known for a drawing program and later for WordPerfect. They were never well known for their involvement with Linux.

Correct. Not just hype but to make it “Like Windows, but free”.

Even then it could be themed to a degree and some distros tried to look more like Windows than others.

I discovered this more than a year ago, but Fuzzel.

I just wrote about the new release here:

Ballots are already getting printed and early voting will start soon.

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

fzf has some unique features of its own, like multi-select. Maybe one day Fuzzel will add that.

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That’s right! We are just waiting for someone to focus a pinentry/fuzzel script now. All the necessary features are there it seems.

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I’ve tested them all and they all launch fairly immediately.

I discuss some of the other feature differences here:

https://mark.stosberg.com/rofi-alternatives-for-wayland/

I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.
