Should I stop using Iceraven then?

68silver,

Nothing wrong with Iceraven. It gets updates regularly. I use it on all my android devices.

Even better: mount ~/.cache as ramfs. It will also speed up some apps significantly.

I always felt that there should be some user directory like /tmp/ which will be wiped regularly.

glibg10b,

/run/ contains such a directory

/tmp and /var/tmp are writable to regular users on most distributions

Markaos, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?
@Markaos@lemmy.one avatar

Generally yes. The Fn key is usually handled either by the keyboard itself or by the BIOS, and the OS just sees the resulting key presses as if the keyboard had all the buttons. Can you not find such a switch in your BIOS? Saying what vendor it is might also help someone help you.

caseyweederman,

Seconded, BIOS setting for me

majestic, in Reminder to clear your ~/.cache folder every now and then

No way. If i clean up my .cache directory my precious cached with sccache rust deps would be very upset. >:[

breakcore, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?

Try pressing fn+esc. Switches between fn keys and F keys on my laptop.

@despotic_machine@lemmy.world avatar

That is typically the only solution as far as I know. I had this issue, resolved it in the BIOS, then I remapped a couple file manager shortcuts to avoid having to use the FN+ combo altogether, for the most part anyway.

@grinceur@programming.dev avatar

on my laptop there is a Fn key combinasion to switch between them… btw i don’t think it’s possible to trigger this from the Os side of thing, it is tied to the firmware…

Ashiette, in Switching from Linux Mint to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed very soon. Any advice?

If you want up to date go with Arch/Nix, don’t go OpenSuSE.

muhyb,

Why though?

Ashiette,

Why not, though ?

Sandbag,

Give an actual reason for why, don’t just say use arch/nix cause it’s what’s hot and hip.

MagneticFusion,

Do you use Arch btw?

Ashiette,

Does it matter ? 🤷

@jdrch@lemmy.world avatar

Hence why I’m leaving the Debian / Ubuntu based distros

Ubuntu non-LTS packages are pretty up to date.

Loucypher,

Also the LTS ones?

jdrch,
@jdrch@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I wasn’t referring to those.

Don’t care. I’ll keep using it. By the way, Mozilla aren’t the saints you may think they are:

calpaterson.com/mozilla.html

I’d rather stop to use the web altogether before giving scummy Mozilla any market share again.

  • Engywuck,

    No, the links about Mozilla show how corrupt their directives are. Peole are so eager to scrutiny competing browsers/company and their forgive every shit Mozilla or their board do.

    By the way, who cares about Brave’s CEO? I don’t agree with his political views, but for me their browser it’s the best out there at the moment and the company itself isn’t politically active at all.

    Did you ask any other Mozilla employee what their political views are, by the way? How can you be sure that all of them are “good persons”? Do you buy your stuff on Amazon, by any chance, knowing how evil thy are? Are you sure that your grocery store’s owner/your mechanic/your doctor/etc. isn’t an homophobe or a bad person? Please, be coherent and go and ask all the people you make deals with what their political views are.

  • Engywuck,

    I’m not upset. I may have been unclear. I just find funny that people in the (F)OSS/Linux community (which I’m clearly part of) are very prone to scrutinize Brave and other companies, while they pretend not to see what’s going on at Mozilla, which seems to always get a free pass.

    That’s fine. I was just replying to your comment. Have a nice day.

    smotherlove,

    Lot of talk about Mozilla, but what about Firefox? I’m not using the CEO as my web browser.

    Engywuck,

    I used to like Firefox (been using is since 2002ish…). But after a lot feature removals and, last but not least, the ugly UI redesign (despite the negative feedback in the nightly/beta phase) I just jumped ship. I’m not going to waste my time fixing it with CSSs, unfucking what Mozilla did wrong. Anyway, Brave is just faster, it performs better and has a no-shit UI.

    This, plus the disappointment I’ve had with Mozilla, gives me exactly 0 reason to go back.

    Mozilla itself has provento be nothing but a cash grab, at this point. And people keep falling for it (less and less people over time, fortunately).

    Thanks, yes that is actually a slightly more comprehensive backup, looking at their GitHub project at github.com/vikdevelop/SaveDesktop, and they have a Flatpak installation as well.
