  • Best foss full page translation app?

    Jump

  • Well Firefox recently integrated a full webpage translation, fully done local on your system. It works pretty well in my experience.

  • I am not sure what is happening, but clicking the link (the topic title) will just reopen this again. And there is no text body or image or link otherwise.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • It's actually surprising that this is not configurable already. At least in a GUI.

  • Super Mario 64 Romhack: Mario Builder 64 hit by DMCA from (allegedly Nintendo)

    Jump

  • Well Switch emulation is a different story. Especially because it was current gen and so on. But Mario 64 Romhacks and other game Romhacks from Nintendo (including reverse engineering code) usually is not touched by Nintendo.

  • Super Mario 64 Romhack: Mario Builder 64 hit by DMCA from (allegedly Nintendo)

    Jump

  • Funny enough its still available on Github (sadly only version 1.0 is there, not 1.1, I don't know why). The DMCA hit a fan community hosting Romhacks (only patch files).

  • Experienced software developers assumed AI would save them a chunk of time. But in one experiment, their tasks took 20% longer

    Jump

  • What a wonderful statement.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • I guess one could create shortcuts to a tool like wl-copy and wl-paste to either copy or paste content to primary selection (or regular clipboard for that matter). So in that case a simple script could run the command and in your desktop environment you setup a shortcut to run the script.

    Yes its hacky, but in Linux nothing is impossible. :-) (unless it is...)

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • Then I tell you something that might either blow your mind or be useful in future (or just being fun fact):

    On Linux there is the regular copy/paste clipboard, which you already know how it works. But then there is this primary clipboard called primary selection too, that is independent from normal clipboard. Text will be copied to primary selection when you select a text (in example in Firefox). Just by selection the text with the mouse is enough and it will not affect the normal clipboard. Then you can middle click the text from primary clipboard.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • They only discuss to disable it by default, not removing the functionality.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • The essence of the article:

    The discussions, visible in Mozilla’s Phabricator revision D277804 and a linked GNOME gsettings-desktop-schemas merge request, focus on disabling the traditional primary selection paste by default.

    Mozilla proposes changing the default behavior of the Firefox browser on Unix builds so that pressing the middle mouse button no longer pastes text by default.

    The functionality will be there and can be enabled. The reasoning:

    The author of the revision frames the current behavior as a source of confusion and accidental pastes, especially when users press the middle button without expecting the clipboard contents to be inserted into text fields.

    Microsoft Edge is getting a Copilot-inspired redesign

  • Gamescope works on Wayland too nowadays.

  • PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

    Jump

  • Gamescope is developed by Valve and used in Steam Deck. But you can install it on any system. You can think of it as a commandline application, to run games with. It can fix issues you or give some options and should make games run better if they are problematic otherwise.

  • PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

    Jump

  • It doesn't even need to be Sways issue. What I mean are secondary issues like packaging of Sway or related packaged that are used when using Sway or Wayland. It doesn't need to be a Wayland issue in itself. I just had in the past issues and quickly blamed something and it turned out something different.

  • PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

    Jump

  • How do you know its a Wayland issue? Edit: I mean its not the entirely same setup, because Sway WM does not run on Xorg. That means there are other differences in play than Wayland only.

  • PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

    Jump

  • Which distribution? Maybe its an issue with the packaging. 580 is the last version that supports the older 10xx cards and there were some packaging changes in Archlinux. Now your card is newer than that and should not be affected. But maybe your distribution made some changes to packaging that caused the issue?

  • This Week in Plasma: new year, new accessibility features!

    Jump

  • Using a game controller will now count as “activity”, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen. (Yelsin Sepulveda, KDE bug #328987)

    I don't know why this was not done before. I had in the past some nightmare experience trying to play emulation and my screen would go sleep every 15 minutes or so. That's why I have this disabled and display never sleeps! I am curious to try the new feature if it works as intended.

  • Flatpack apps performance on Linux Mint

    Jump

  • Well, that's one thing with Flatpak. There is a permission system, as the applications are fully or partially sandboxed. You can install "Flatseal", that can change permission for each installed Flatpak application. But it can be confusing or hard to understand what you have to change in order to make it work. Or maybe the application itself is not packaged correctly as a Flatpak, I don't know.

  • Reminder: System76 is not to be trusted

    Jump

  • I trust System76 more than I do trust GNOME.
