They could've so easily solved this by making it just immediately jump to the search bar on tap, or hide that feature behind a long press like some other apps do if they're really wanting to push people towards trending searches. I appreciate that it's within thumb's reach now but this is a pretty lackluster implementation

Yeah honestly if they could do a massive overhaul on performance and UX with the OSK then that'd solve the main complaint I've had with touch interfaces on Linux

I think it's based on the xdg-desktop-portal accent color support, but there were specific hooks added to libadwaita to handle that desktop standard, at least that's my guess based on this.

Definitely glad we have the major desktops all natively supporting accent colors now, it's been a long time coming.

Not to be dramatic, but I think this means it's finally the year of the Linux desktop /s

Glad GNOME finally got this finished, it's good to finally have most of the major desktops on the same page with the freedesktop accent color support.

I wasn't familiar with this console before, that was interesting to read up on. Nicely done on that power cable mod, hardwired cables are a mistake 9 times outta 10

Thank you, I think people often overlook how faith and scientific thought can be complimentary. In any case, for questions of religious/spiritual matters, people are basically just running with a hypothesis that works for them. As long as they're capable of being self-critical and aren't pushing their beliefs on people who aren't interested, then it seems fine to me.

I think that does answer the question - for a lot of people, the reason they're religious is because they find it personally beneficial for one reason or another.

I use a mix of GSConnect/KDEConnect, Warpinator, and Syncthing. I've got a shared "dropoff" folder on Syncthing that lets me easily drop files from one device to another. You're having issues with Warpinator but if you're able to figure out the issue there, that's my second go-to for one-time file transfers. KDEConnect is a bit more fiddly, but I use it mostly for sharing clipboard info and the occasional file when it's stable enough.

Yeah but it's not that accurate, and it leaves most normal mobile users out of the picture. I know YouTube knew exactly what they were doing when they removed dislikes, but it still seems absolutely insane to remove such a useful tool for sifting through the bullshit.

That sound awesome, it'd be really interesting to see what you've got. I look forward to the future posts!

They're referring to the quality of integrations with third-party systems, like the built-in CalDAV support basically every OS has. For some people, using just the calendar app is fine, but others want that deeper integration so they don't have to rely entirely on Proton to provide features in their frontends that OS apps might already handle.

For example, on Android I might want to let other apps access information from my calendar (e.g. my launcher so it can show me events from within its built-in schedule widget). Same goes for my Thunderbird client on Linux, it'd be nice to have the calendar events be integrated there too. Unfortunately, they currently only support a mail bridge, but the official Proton account on Reddit has made a few comments stating that they're "looking into" adding CalDAV support to Bridge, but there's no official timeline on when or if that'll actually happen. I'm willing to bet it eventually will, but I'll say I'd definitely appreciate it if they did.

MS really has always done this, what's the name for this kind of marketing maneuver? Manufactured consent? Manufactured begrudging tolerance?
