They’re actually podcasts that have RSS feeds for following new episodes. I don’t know if podcasts are your thing. They weren’t mine either, but now I put them on when I go to bed and listen to banter about Linux and FOSS. 😄

lemmeBe@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros?2·8 days agoIt’s an issue according to any UX pattern. If something says that it’s done when it’s not, it’s misrepresenting the state of the action.
Hard to believe that modifying the counter to include the necessary time for actual writing to the flash drive would break everything. Target flash drives only etc.
System functioning as intended doesn’t mean that it’s a good UX.
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros?21·9 days agoThanks! I’ll try that out today!
Why quotation marks? Issue is an issue, decades or days old. 😄
Copying mechanism itself isn’t an issue here; false reporting that something is done when it’s not is.

I tried installing PCManFM-Qt and deleting from there. Works as you’d expect, deletes instantly.
Having NOxOn@lemmy.ml insight in mind that it’s a decades long issue, I don’t get how come that some of us are affected by it and some aren’t. 😅
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is KDE actually good or it is overrated? Or I was just unlucky because of prebuilt distros?1·9 days agoBeen using Tumbleweed as well. May I ask if you encountered these 2 issues:
- Copy 1Gb movie to flash drive, says it’s done in 10 seconds. Try to remove the flash drive, still in use. Turns out it’s actually still copying.
- Send some files, whatever the size, even 10Mb, to the trash and it takes a minute per file.
Stumbled upon some github issues saying that it’s a longstanding problem (since 2009 even), but I can’t believe that people put up with it for so long without fixing it.
I’m not even thinking of changing DE but this is annoying to say the least.
Then I was obviously checking it a bit before that. Thanks for the update!
Same impression that I got and therefore decided to skip it.
Here are my Filen testing notes from a couple of months ago. It’s a habit of mine so I don’t forget why I discarded some options.
- It’s impossible to upload anything through the Win app. You can only set up sync folders where you need to place files. Through the web app, however, you can upload both folders and files.
- The desktop app disappears as soon as you switch to another app, and you have to launch it again by clicking on the shortcut.
- You can’t access data in the cloud via a virtual drive or anything similar.
- In short, it’s unusable for my use case.
Edit: Be aware that according to Matt@lemdro.id, the above issues have been rectified in the meantime, so you should give it a go before deciding.
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.worksto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox maker Mozilla prepares Gmail-like Thundermail1·29 days agoSure, applies to getting to any level of profitability.
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.worksto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox maker Mozilla prepares Gmail-like Thundermail4·29 days agoIndependently of the Mozilla team, yes.
However, my understanding is that, if Thunderbird were to become
hugelyprofitable, the Mozilla Foundation would benefit financially, though indirectly.The organizational structure:
- Mozilla Foundation = parent organization
- MZLA Technologies Corporation (which owns Thunderbird) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation
- Mozilla Corporation (which produces Firefox) is also a subsidiary of the Foundation
When Thunderbird moved to MZLA Technologies Corporation in January 2020, this was specifically done to allow Thunderbird to “collect revenue through partnerships and non-charitable donations”.
As a wholly owned subsidiary, any profits generated by MZLA would ultimately flow back to its parent organization, the Mozilla Foundation.
In the end, that revenue would probably go to all the smart investments we’ve seen the Mozilla Foundation make over the previous years. 🙄
Exhaustive research was conducted on an impressive sample size of… one single device.
…and the provided details are astounding.

I’ve Tumbleweed and Mac connected. Buttons can be mapped to avoid difference in keyboard layouts and streamline the experience. Been happy with it. 🙂
Had similar experience with snapshots. Restore to the last working version just to find the same issue that’s been bothering me.
Then went back to the classic approach with 👻 images and Rescuezilla.
With NVME drive, it takes 7min to backup 60Gb, and 3min to restore it.
