I can't wait until Half-Life 3 finishes loading!

On a bright note, leopards' CITES conservation status has been upgraded from VU (vulnerable) to LC (Least Concern).

More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!

We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words "COVID's a liberal hoax" as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won't accept it.

"I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals... of eating my face."

IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen... the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

Which would be a crying shame, of course...

Thanks for the info.

The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.

For a nanosecond, I somehow understood the headline as "Audio Galaxy Still Accessible". Which really would be impressive.

I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn't giving me any results from TGx.

New to Lemmy.

And new to workspaces. I'd get confused at first which workspace I was on.

Different backgrounds helped a bit, but I'm almost always in maximized windows.

I wanted to have different colours for windows, panel etc but couldn't.

So I adjusted panel opacity to 95% on Enter, 75% on Leave. That allows the background colour to bleed through.

A user on the Linux Mint forums suggested adjusting workspace margins to let the background show even when windows are maximized.

So now I have an 8-pixel strip of desktop showing just above the panel. Combined with the lowered panel opacity, I never have to wondr anymore what workspace I'm on.

  • Workspace [1/2/3] with windows minimized.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Leave" opacity of 95%.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Enter" opacity of 75%.

(I read somewhere that it's better to host images for Lemmy on Pixelfed. So I made my first post there with all the screenshots, and linked to it. Hope that works.)

PS: Anyone have any other ideas to help distinguish workspaces at a glance?
