Copy on select and middle mouse button paste doesn’t work in text fields created by js code in Firefox. I remember finding a stale bug report for it, but can’t find it.

There are a lot of websites that use javascript to create text fields, some recent examples that I can remember right now:

• codewars.com
• claude.ai
• vscode.dev

Edit: found report: https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror5/issues/931
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761

There’s only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

Never heard about it, but seems like it is, indeed. Thank you.

cool 👍

Oh, and GBA rom is included with game files.

Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"

let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"

for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!

assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

Ubuntu: 😮why?

For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who’s not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

Mint: ex windows guy?

Aren’t we all?

The most stable rolling distro.

Viscera Cleanup Detail

Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
When the person opens the door you run to them and yell “wait wait wait” while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick “thank you” and disappear.

Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.

Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it’s always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.

Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.

mod+shift+q so you wouldn’t close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_ keybinds)

Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as

just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu

It’s not useless as you can learn from it.

Almost. It doesn’t try to solve all the problems, though. I’d say it’s a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.

From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:

I’ve installed sway “pattern” on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:

• Previous time I had some issues with lightdm not supporting sway, now - it just works.
• I still use xdotool and i3-msg in my custom scratchpad script and yet everything is working.

waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.

I confused it with swaybar, that’s installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn’t seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it’s like 95% there from what I want.

• I had to force xcb platform for appimage of nekoray (qt VPN gui), because it’s complaining about missing wayland-egl plugin. But it’s a small problem with straightforward fix, so not that bad.
