Yes they share many similarities with the FSF, but they are separate, and have some different viewpoints on things. You can’t use something they do as an argument as to why FSF is good, when the actual FSF doesn’t do that thing. They also dislike RMS, who is also one of @onlinepersona@programming.dev 's arguments against the FSF.
FSFE is not the same as FSF. It’s a completely independent organisation.
I’m in the exact same situation, however the right shift key broke, and activates randomly. This laptop only ever moved between a cupboard and a desk, without the tiniest bump, but after a couple months of very light use the shift key breaks. I now have to have sticky keys enabled permanently.
Also the only way to enable sticky keys on the login screen is to triple click the power button. You would thing they could just put a button for the accessibility accessibility menu next to the one for the keyboard layout switcher, but no.
I think having 0% as the 4th choice would have actually made it more interesting.
That is interesting. WASM seems like it’s just a replacement for the TrueType hinting language (which is already a VM). So I guess it’s benefiting from a more standardised and audited virtual machine.
It’s also fairly limited to what it can do (source):
you can influence the process of mapping a string of characters into an array of glyphs, you can determine how those glyphs are positioned and their advance widths, but you cannot manipulate outlines, variations, line breaks, or affect text layout between texts of different font, variation, language, script or OpenType feature selection
I don’t see how the mentioned future drawing API will fit into that though.
Do you have a link for that, or a term I can search for? I’m not finding anything about it.
I’m not entirely sure how I feel about fonts containing WASM code… It feels like we’re overcomplicating things a bit.
They do? I’ve always seen that as being up to distro maintainers, and out of control of the devs.
My cat is currently sitting on an identical pillow :)
I’m pretty sure kate has different word selection rules for different languages. I have no idea how to configure these though.
Has IRC been getting many new features recently? It kind of feels like the sort of thing where software can become “finished”.
Haha I read it as “foot bug zapper”, as in a bug zapper you attach to your foot…
I don’t think this is specific to giraffes? I’ve seen sheep do the exact same thing.
Krunner is better at displaying longer search results. The launcher truncates anything longer than 1 line. Dictionary definitions are an example.
Krunner also keeps what was last typed in, which is very useful if I’m adding up a bunch of numbers, or if I need to switch to a different application before using the result.
From my experience, they’ll be stuck in there until you help them out.
