@amca01 Fwiw, i went #vegetarian >decade ago, gave away my car a few yrs ago, pay extra for #GreenElectricity, & some months ago began only having weekly showers [cold sponge washes all over, in-between]. Years ago i began minimising my fixed gas space-heating in winter [& wear LOTS of thick layers]. All that's going ok.

This is NOT going so well. Am seeing if i can replace using my gas-hob #kettle for all my tea & coffee, by boiling water in #microwave. So far, bloody inconvenient & messy! 🤦‍♀️

@GreenFire

With respect...

>#Doomers are more dangerous than are deniers

...is arrant bullshit.

There is no justification for juvenile optimism. Too many citizens in democracies around the world still vote in govts beholden to #FossilFool vested-interests, who continue to subsidise, support & approve ongoing FF use & expansion. Capitalism continues to perpetuate 3rd-world energy disadvantage. Too many climate non-linear #TippingPoints are now unavoidable. Wake up!

#WeAreTotallyFscked

I did not know this, & if true, it's a black mark against #Fedora #KDE for any future possibility of me changing from #Arch #KDE to KF.

>neither #kup or #bup are in the Fedora repos

😮

Utterly weird! 😮

Needed to briefly depart from #ArchLinux tower, to #Fedora #KDEPlasma lappy in another room. There, was using #Firefox & #Konsole, when suddenly realised the fan was roaring away. Glanced at my Conky, which showed culprit was `anydesk`, at ~27%+ cpu. Huh, i'm not using AD atm, nor did i launch it, so wtf?

Launched #systemmonitor to find & kill AD... but not visible there. 😮 Ran #htop in Konsole, saw several AD threads; all ignored my kills. 😮

Rebooted, ok now, but wtf? 🤷‍♀️

#transphobia

When i #transitioned, over fifteen years ago, there seemed not to be any particular national nor global politicisation of people like me, who merely hoped finally to find solace & peace living our truth. Yes ofc sadly we were often the butt of tacky jokes, & pulp movie/tv villain mis-characterisations, but not mass public vilification & hatred.

Naively i'd assumed things would slowly improve. Never did i imagine the contemporary horror. It's just so mean.

Whilst Plasma 5.27.1 is nice in many respects, tiresomely it has now re-broken my Conkies' semi-transparency. Sigh.

KDE4 was good friends with Conky. Plasma5, for all its many otherwise fab aspects, has had a very tense relationship with Conky, & some dot-versions have been most unfriendly.

#Plasma5 #Conky

EDIT: NO no nooooooooooooo, i was wrong! See my https://fosstodon.org/@dropbear42/109936327229853439 for clarification.

Just did a small batch of #ArchLinux updates, a couple of days after the bigger last lot that included lovely #KDEPlasma 5.27.0, logged out & toggled to tty2, used #needrestart to restart the various services sans-reboot, toggled back to #SDDM & logged back in, then before relaunching my #FirefoxNightly, #Goodvibes & #Thunderbird [all in #Firejail ofc] i took a moment to gaze contemplatively at my #Wayland desktop, & reflected for the umpteenth time; how GREAT is #FOSS!! 🎉

#PlasmaParadise

TIL that with #FirefoxBeta now having jumped to v111, it has inherited #FirefoxNightly's Wayland-autodetection, such that in a Wayland session, to launch Beta as a full-W app, not merely an Xwayland one, you no longer need to use the prefacing `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` environmental variable in your command launcher. Nightly has had this for *several* versions, & my only surprise is that it's taken this long for it to flow down to Beta.

#KDEPlasma #WindowRules #Wayland

Both these work fine in Wayland; #Firefox & #FirefoxNightly [ie, reliably, on launch in Plasma Wayland sessions, without any manual user intervention then needed, both these browsers correctly are stripped of their window decorations & titlebars].

Otoh, this fails 100% of the time; #FirefoxBeta [ie, this browser always still retains window decoration & titlebar in Plasma Wayland].

Any gurus here know why, pls? 🤷‍♀️

Please please please, to all #FOSS #journalists / #writers, STOP using #seasons in your articles. You have #global #readership, not just hemispherical, so using seasons to denote time creates friction; readers must deduce which side of equator YOU are, then do arithmetic to resolve time for THEIR equator-side. Use #Months, or #Quarters.
