I think they are wondering if one extension can use both v2 and v3 APIs at once? As in whether v3 APIs will be "backported" to allow v2 extensions to use them

How to use power button to wake up laptop on tablet mode in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Excigma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think I have enough knowledge to solve this or say anything for certain, but I wonder if the power button is treated as an external keyboard and is getting ignored in tablet mode?

Regarding your mouse double clicking, some Reddit users suggest pressing the click button quite hard a few times...

RustDesk (FOSS easy to use TeamViewer alternative) has experimental Wayland support that needs testing! in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Not recommending against RustDesk - it is a very cool project - but regarding the "Why?", you could use a VPN or something like Tailscale which has MagicDNS that'll resolve hostnames of computers to their local IP address. You can use this with GNOME's RDP server to remote in from another device pretty easily.

The Dangerous Rise of GPS Attacks in c/technology@lemmy.ml

I believe they're available as backup but re-calibrate themselves with GPS coordinates if available. This is not a problem when GPS jamming is used but becomes an issue with spoofing - the pilots need to monitor for it.

I think they talk about it in this video by flightradar24 somewhere: https://youtu.be/4dG_Whxzdkk

Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them... in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Strange. The default keyboard works wonders for me but doesn't automatically pop up. Are you able to swipe from the bottom edge of the display to make it pop up?

Right? Even MacBook Pros have larger batteries in the 14 inch and 16 inch lineup.

Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Just use Waydroid instead: https://waydro.id, much lower overhead, however you need to mess with ARM emulation. For installing Google Apps and Device not Play certified: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

re: OneNote

Although not a replacement for OneNote on Windows 10/OneNote in Microsoft 365, you can get Waydroid and run OneNote's Android app with it.

I don't have a stylus so I'm not able to check if everything works, but if it does, it'll hopefully feel better than the web client, which wasn't able to keep up with stylus strokes last time I checked. The number of pens is lacking though, even the iPadOS version is better...
