If the UI always looks like that you’d huffed too much Compiz.

Pactl commands will do what I think you want, I keep forgetting the exact syntax. Once you find something that works, you can bind those commands to some key combos to easily switch

I found a solution today using Fcitx, the clipboard addon, and the default shortcut Ctrl+semicolon. However, it works more like a history that pushes each older item down, rather than 10 separately accessible boxes. It seems as though it will work with the use case you described.

Note: I have no idea how well Fcitx is supported in Wayland.

Found the post, for some reason I had a lot of trouble finding it when I was looking around before posting.

@electricprism@lemmy.ml maybe this will help you as it is Linux distro-agnostic. I have not tested on Wayland, though. For good measure I’ll add a comment on the original post.

I hope this could help anyone else out who can take advantage of this feature, or turn it off if they are worried about the feds after them.

For Steam games, it’s simply a matter of checking the “Enable Steam Play for all Other Titles”, and you’re all set. Depending on your library, 50-80% will work with no discernable difference, besides maybe a slightly longer download and open time. Check out protondb.com which will give you an idea of how many you can expect to work at least somewhat, including using your own Steam public profile if you wish.

Some games will need a couple small tweaks, ie a specific Proton version to manually copy in, a game setting like Borderless Window, or worst case a few terminal commands but they are set and forget in every instance I’ve encountered. Protondb has comments of others who will share their experience and sometimes how they got something to run well if it doesn’t out of the box.

Non-Steam games also work. Lutris is the easiest way to set it up, but it can be done manually too. Both wine and proton will work, let me know if you want a tutorial for manual set up but it’s too long for one comment.

Now for issues:

Drivers are okay for most general stuff (mic, headset, mice, keyboards, gamepads), specialized stuff requiring proprietary drivers is a crapshoot. I’ve a 2nd hand DAC I can’t use on Linux for Rocksmith.

Games that will not work and likely will never rely on invasive anticheat. So it’s a waste of time to try and run Rainbow 6 Siege, Fortnite, Valorant or League of Legends. Without the anticheat the games could run perfectly fine.

Democrats may or may not ride high into a big win this November, but I envision right wing allies are going to do this type of thing more often, use money and influence try to infiltrate the party and bring it even more conservative. Or run a progressive sounding campaign and then being a turncoat.

Aha, there’s one of the Bezollionaires AOC was warning about.

If I wear boots, sneakers, sandals, hiking shoes sometimes I wonder if it will be enough to throw it off? How distinctly will it be able to tell from millions of gait patterns? Sure it may work foolproof for a set of 100 even intentionally trying to vary things, but how similar will the gait of Roberto Ramirez be to himself the next week or to the hundreds of thousands of people going past an area over a year?

I’ve kept having to make this point repeatedly every time someone writes “It’s not a Microsoft/closed source problem, it happened to Linux too”.

The SAMBA is sounding real quiet today…

Other apps, or frontends that use their own API key get charged money by Reddit based on usage and so they charge monthly fees to their app users.

Land gets outsized representation (esp. in the US) so an idea would be that taxes should be levied proportionally.

If the Gnome team don’t like this new Inter font, will they return to “Déjà Vu”?

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

I think it’s one of the coolest Linux/FOSS-themed mascots that deserves being returned to the spotlight.
