I'm pretty sure it's a cucumber plant. I planted them for the first time this year and they grow those little things to grab onto stuff for support. It's really neat!

My opinion here, so obvious caveat.

Burning Wheel has one good system in it: the beliefs, instincts, and traits are awesome. This could compliment or replace bonds. Otherwise though Burning Wheel is a giant complicated mess of rules that are completely opposite of the rules-light point of dungeon world.

I've been running wow on linux via lutris since BFA.

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis's stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don't suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out...

No. You don't manually place apps on homescreen. I have it configured to only show one row of favorites, which are categorized as "pinned - manually sorted". Than the rest of my favorites are seen when i swipe to app drawer.

Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets "pane". You don't place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it's not too different from stock android experience.

I have 5 "favorite" apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.

I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.

I swipe up for all my widgets.

Swipe down for notifications, like stock.

Swipe right for my camera app.

I too would be put off if it had to be used that way. But it can be used as a regular icon tapping launcher - it has a regular app drawer - which is how i use it. I don't think it should market itself as a "search-focused" launcher.

Kvaesitso has risen to the top as my favorite launcher after trying a ton of launchers.

To be harsh: if I read this cover letter, I would throw away this application, unless those named people are personal contacts and I could ask them about you.

  • The last two sentences of each paragraph say the same thing, and as someone else said, are weak.

  • Your very first sentence reads to me that you are looking for a jumping point to launch into other careers, and that you don't intend to stick around in this company you are applying to. No thanks.

  • "My aspiration is to make the most of my abilities while helping as many people as I can." This is one of those filler, vague statements that basically contains no useful information and only exists to lengthen your letter.

  • Details of your work experience should be in an attached resume. You could pick out one or two points and state how it will specifically benefit this company.

  • As mentioned above, don't include those names, unless they are known by the reader.

  • The info in the second paragraph is mostly fine, though condense it and try to be more specific about how your studies will improve their product. Something like... "My recent study of [specific field of psychology/sociology] has taught me that people react well to [specific about something that improves trust] and are more likely to trust an advertisement that [does this]."

The purpose of a cover letter is not to vaguely reiterate info in your resume. You want to connect with the reader and show them that you are interested in THEIR team/company. It seems like this is a marketing/advertising company. Be specific! Write your cover letter so that it only applies to this specific company. Point out one of their specific projects that you like and how your background/skills can create a similar/improved product. Research the company and say something about the company and how you think you would fit well on the team.

Follow the advice of givesomefucks and format it as a professional business letter. This should also include the company address at the top, as well as your contact/address at the top. Search for business letter templates.

As someone that grades undergraduates, I'm happy that they not use the letter "x" to imply multiplication.

 

How does one change the terminal that Gnome Files uses when opening a directory in terminal using "Open in Terminal"? I'm trying to change the default to foot.

All my searching has led to

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

  Selection    Path                             Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        auto mode
* 1            /usr/bin/foot                     20        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/footclient               10        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        manual mode
  4            /usr/bin/koi8rxterm               20        manual mode
  5            /usr/bin/lxterm                   30        manual mode
  6            /usr/bin/uxterm                   20        manual mode
  7            /usr/bin/xterm                    20        manual mode

which I can select foot. But Gnome Files does not seem to respect this.

I've also tried directly editing

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec foot

where the default exec option is x-terminal-emulator. This also does not work.

 

New debian user here. I'm using sway and have a script in my waybar config to look for upgrades and indicate if any are available. However, it typically doesn't find anything because I first need to run a sudo apt update first.

I don't really want to figure out someway to do a sudo through this script and was curious how gnome finds updates without me needing to enter a password.

It looks like I can use unattended upgrades to do the apt update.

https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

though I don't want it to do upgrades until I do a sudo apt upgrade after being notified of upgrades. I created a 02periodic file in /etc/apt/apt.config.d as indicated, but I only included the lines

APT::Periodic::Enable "1";

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

Will this run an apt update every day for me? Is there any issue I'm unaware of in doing this? Thanks for any help!
