Ceremonial warhammer, Germany, 16th century AD
  • Oh yeah, a hammer, an axe, an awl, and a fork, with a knife for a tip. I gotta guess the handle ends with a giant spoon.

  • Question: How does one open source their stuff?
  • I advise booking a city square, loud music, background dancers, printed flyers with the URL of your Github repo, and a big countdown clock when you change repo visibility to public (Github has an option for that, but you need to click it yourself at the exact time, there no option to publish it on timer).

  • How can I prevent my PC from connecting to the internet without a VPN connection?
  • You need to set up a separate vpn connection in the same window, then you link that VPN connection to your WiFi or Ethernet connection using the option above.

    If the system cannot initialize vpn connection, the WiFi connection will also fail.

    You will need .ovpn file, you can download it from Mullvad website.

  • How can I prevent my PC from connecting to the internet without a VPN connection?
  • This option right here, in Plasma network settings.

  • Is Lemmy a good alternative?
  • For example, don't ever say you use Windows here lest a whole horde of people jump in to call you an idiot for not having switched to Linux

    Just copy Linux Mint onto an USB stick. No need to boot it, you hang it around your neck like a cross, and display it to raging pinguinoids to pacify them.

    I am using Debian, in case you were wondering.

  • Android apps will soon let you use your face to control your cursor
  • Samsung did it first, with their eye-tracking auto-scrolling, which was the first thing you turned off after buying a Galaxy phone.

    Gyroscope-controlled mouse will be less awkward and more responsive.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Intel UHD graphics.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • I've switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

  • One Surf Rule
  • Is this aircraft carrier made out of ceramic? Steel does not crack.

  • Maybe an injection or pill?
  • The only reasonable answer

  • Why are socialist and communist countries usually considered more authoritarian than capitalist countries?
  • Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.

    It's exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.

    That's also why communists banned all religions, they don't want any competition.

  • 9th of May is Europe Day, is it a big thing in your country?
  • It's the day when russia launches more than usual amount of missiles, to accompany their sad little loser's parade.

  • Windows is hell, i need to do something
  • Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.

  • Windows is hell, i need to do something
  • Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

    Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

    CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it's compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

    Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

    Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3... 2... 1...

  • Is there an app to open others apps in the background without user interaction?
  • Tasker script to turn on your screen and launch the app.

  • All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why?
  • Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.

    Most casual users won't even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.

    When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.

    But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won't add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you'll see your sales drop like a brick.

  • This week in KDE: Looking towards Plasma 6.1
  • Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself. I don't want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.

  • Liftlands City Builder
  • Where's Android gaming community? Or mobile gaming, to include iOS?

  • This week in KDE: Looking towards Plasma 6.1
  • Is there a way to install the latest Plasma to Debian stable, without breaking the OS too much or installing everything to /usr/local? The crashes when an external monitor is unplugged annoy me a lot.

  • Recommend me some Android games

    I've unlocked all weapons in Vampire Survivors, and I'm too bored to grind the remaining 14 unlocks.

    Please recommend me some proper, $10 up-front games.

    Newest premium Android twin stick shooters

    I've alrealy played all versions of Space Marshals, Tesla vs Lovecraft, Tesla Force, Jydge, Crimsonland, Grind Infinity, Solomon Keep, PewPew, and Vampire Survivors (although it's not twin stick but close enough).

    Are there any new twin stick shooters, preferrably something I can pay for once and without IAP going up to $100?

    Cast phone screen automatically

    Is there a way to cast my phone screen to TV using some kind of Tasker plugin? I'm using screen cast to view one specific app on a big TV, but the screen mirroring stops whenever the wifi blinks, and I'd like it to reconnect automatically.
