Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.

The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.

No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!

Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!

Surprised they’re even thinking that far ahead!

If find myself writing anything I’d call a “program” (rather than just a script) in bash then it’s time to think about using a proper language rather than a shell script, let alone awk or sed!

The speedruns for Luigi’s Mansion were pretty cool, one of the few games with active max% and min% categories!

Given how used I am to every statement by a politician or business being this slick, polished, carefully re-drafted beige speech it’s a real contrast to see someone like Torvalds just blasting out their thoughts

Yeah I’d had my eye on this for a bit, it seems disappointingly bare-bones in terms of features which is a shame. Guess I’ll be sticking with the increasingly-broken neo/omega launcher for a while!

It’s ideal for someone who really doesn’t understand computers (so can’t be relied on to install updates etc) if you don’t want to have to be tech support as much as for a “proper” OS

I posted this xkcd a couple of weeks ago, it’s always relevant!

I use Cryptomator on desktop and Android and while I think it is a slightly different use case than syncthing, it can probably cover a lot of similar uses. And yeah, on Android you don’t actually have a local copy of all your stuff, you can just upload, download, or edit text files.

I think the “anniversary edition” of Armageddon is just a port to modern consoles. The Steam version has had a few QoL updates over the years and still works brilliantly!

Oh wow, not ideal

Nice, I’ll have an investigate, thanks

What is “common core” and what is the “line up method”?

Those are quite far from mental arithmetic though

I like your funny words, mathemagic man

Mental arithmetic is all little tricks and shortcuts. If the answer is right then there’s no wrong way to do it, and maths is one of the few places where answers are right or wrong with no damn maybes!

Whoops, I meant “passkey”, I’ll edit my original comment

So it’s 2FA for unlocking your device, which is good in principle but will need some serious reliability updates first

It’s a fair point, and I used to read a lot of articles that made me say “fuck off”, but eventually I realised it was happening regardless of my grumbles so I may as well not let them stress me out!
