  • I was just thinking the same thing. Like, one year they'll make a move that's a huge win for everyone and we'll all cheer, and then the next they go and try to pull some batshit insane thing that's the complete antithesis to the win. I don't get it.

  • Solaar | Linux Device Manager For Logitech Devices

    Jump

  • The pains of open source. I updated before I left for work a few hours ago and didn't see a systemd update (I also run arch), so maybe it hasn't hit the repos yet?

    It's not the hugest deal. I moved the receiver to a front USB port and it takes little effort to quickly unplug and replug.

    Jump

  • Ah I see. Has it been fixed, or should I just throw a script in my autostart that loads it?

  • Computer: execute cmake

    Jump

  • Wtf this is awesome. I may play around with this over the weekend.

  • Solaar | Linux Device Manager For Logitech Devices

    Jump

  • Yeah Solaar is pretty nice. The recent update has messed with its detection lately, so it doesn't detect my keyboard on boot anymore, but I barely turn my PC off (once a week for updates) and a quick unplug/replug of the receiver fixes it like a charm. A bit of a pain but that's how it goes sometimes.

  • OK what is your Roman name?

  • Gummyius. If not this, then I'll take Sausageius.

  • I laid it out pretty plainly: we're all leftists (as in world left, not US left), Trump is a petty man child who will absolutely go after his political enemies, and as his influence and reach increases, I'm not convinced that his administration won't find ways to implicate regular citizens, and telegram isn't secure or private enough for my paranoia. I was just plain and honest with them about my paranoia around privacy in general and that I wasn't gonna use these other platforms anymore.

    It was helpful that at the time that the CEO had just been arrested in France and there were stories swirling about how there were allegations that Telegram was compromised by Russia.

    I made it easy and painless by providing links to download the app and join the group chat and it took a day or so but everyone piled in eventually. One friend even went so far as to remove Telegram entirely from their device. Baby steps, but I'll take what I can get.

  • I convinced my inner circle of friends to switch to Signal from Telegram. The group chat is now more private than it's ever been!
