KDE Plasma automatically shows low battery notifications for my logitech mouse connected in non-bluetooth radio mode. It works through UPower daemon, though IDK how it gets the info.

UPD: it works through Logitech’s proprietary protocol which is implemented in the kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c

What doesn’t?

Yeah that’s a solved problem. Iran, Russia, China and other countries have gone through this “stages of denial” process years ago. It starts with “haha they are incompetent and can’t block everything” and 10 years later half the Internet is blocked and you have prison sentencing for accessing “illegal” information (for the flgood of the people of course). Anyone who claims that internet censorship is not possible is a naive person fortunate enough to live in a place where it’s not a thing.

“IT people/programmers are furry gay liberals” is a myth. There are plenty of bootlickers among them, like in any large enough group of people that’s not defined by a specific ideology/political affiliation.

Yeah OpenVPN is often used for business reasons (e.g. by remote workers), so it’s usually not blocked wholesale, only throttled (and known public VPNs providers and blocked via blacklisting their endpoints’ ip addresses). Wireguard meanwhile is used much more rarely so there is less fallout from blocking it completely.

Wireguard is not difficult to block either, it’s not designed to be hidden. China, Russia, etc have learned long ago how to detect and block it. The only semi-reliable way to bypass sophisticated VPN blocking techniques is to use protocols that mask as regular https traffic (and self-host it since well know public VPNs will of course be dealt with by simply blocking packets to their ip addresses).

It was never about freedom, but about restoring control of European governments over their citizens’ online presence and their data, so that everything they do on the internet is subject to European laws and regulations, not American ones.

No, for some reason they end up really good at tech.

Clearly the technology is inherently nazist and the solution is for us all to return to nature.

Is there anything being “shoved down your throat”? Maybe some kind of “agenda” or specific groups of people?

Most people only have a smartphone and maybe a tablet, and don’t have personal PC or laptop. Android and iOS automatically upload stuff to the cloud (at least photos).

I wonder how many of these people regularly visit other countries as tourists.

North America has its own large oil reserves and AFAIK its countries mostly trade it with each other. Europe chooses to buy oil and gas from Russia, Saudis and other Asian countries because it’s cheaper due to geographic proximity.

Centrist? He must be worse than Hitler then.

Because they profit from it in some way or another, and have no regard for others.

There is also Ladybird browser that IIRC already has a more complete web standards implementation than Servo despite being a much younger project. Though it’s still far from being ready and performance is really bad. But so far it seems that it’s going to outpace Servo.

For me in Plasma 6.3.2 it has noticably different font rendering compared to 100% scale with increased font size. Text looks thinner than it normally should. It’s probably the consequence of downscaling.

Too bad fractional scaling is still not universally supported. In Firefox it’s buggy and disabled by default (and pretty much abandoned), and using default compat mode (when app is rendered at nearest greater integer factor and then downscaled by compositor) has some strange font rendering issues and potentially worse performance (on 4K monitor the resolution Firefox would be rendering itself would be humongous).

Thankfully in my case I can just increase font size and it works much better than with fractional scaling.

This for whatever doesn’t work on openSUSE Tumbleweed, last time I checked.

If a messaging service requires a phone number then it’s not “secure” lol.
