EndeavourOS is the first Linux distro I tried a little over a year ago.
I have never felt the need to even try anything else. If it ain’t broke…
Baloo only takes up a lot of CPU if you have it set to index file contents and hidden files. Shut those off, let it index, and it won’t happen ever again.
You might be able to keep “hidden files” on, but indexing file contents always bogged my laptop down.
I’m not sure I even understand what you’re talking about and how it relates to my comment . What shortcut? Nothing to do with what I was talking about.
In KDE you can literally just start typing anywhere on the desktop (or set it up to activate with a hotkey), and it’ll use krunner to search your PC, and do a bunch of other shit if you want. Never had anything about task bars interfere with it whatsoever.
In fact, it has saved my ass a few times when plasma shell would crash and I couldn’t access a terminal for whatever reason, I was able to use krunner to restart plasma shell. Very useful.
They wouldn’t be real capitalists (and boomers) if they didn’t pull the ladder up behind them.
I get that, but it just happens far too often to be coincidence.
I’m not going to claim to know how, but it’s naive to take the word of corporations when we have so much circumstantial evidence that shows these firms are targeting people with ads for things that they had never shown interest in, but happened to mention once in the presence of a device with a microphone and internet connection. There have been people who have tested this, and have gotten results that indicate that this just cannot be a coincidence. It has happened to me personally on several occasions (before I started keeping my mic off at the OS level, hasn’t happened since).
I’ve been around long enough to know that, just because the general public doesn’t know how some proprietary tech that corporations spend billions on R&D for might work, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. People have come up with insane shit, and that’s just the stuff that people have voluntarily (usually) disclosed. God knows what kind of proprietary shit is out there that we have no awareness of.
I mean, for fuck sake, you can now steal a person’s password by listening to their keystrokes:
Not to mention the fact that the NSA likely has back doors in every major piece of software and hardware in the US…
I know that stuff isn’t directly related, but the point is that these things always seem impossible, until it gets leaked that it’s been possible for years now.
Until you start looking at old stuff and have you figure out if they were working with the “millions scheme” or “thousands scheme,” and if “1 billion” is equal to 1012 or 109
Yeah but that’s for pleasure.
Fucking BTUs and shit.
PSI is another one that seems to be used over the metric/SI alternative in some science-adjacent applications.
Jesus fucking Christ
Sure thing… Just install Facebook Messenger on your phone and don’t pay attention to all of the permissions it needs that are completely unrelated to communicating with people in a messaging app. It is literal malware.
It’s wild how much trust people are willing to put into capitalist corporations again and again as if they give a single shit about them.
Seriously… If ad-blockers worked at a high enough level to actually impact this shit, then they wouldn’t be doing it. They know most people don’t bother with ad blockers, and because of that, they’re low-hanging fruit.
Same exact thing for me, and same exact results. Also too major of a coincidence in my mind.
They’re here in this thread lol. No matter what, these people will deny its happening. I don’t understand it.
Because people’s (presumed private) conversations on Messenger are not the same thing as things people post publicly.
Personally, I would never install that malware on my phone. But if you even have FB Messenger installed on your device, chances are that it’s constantly sending your data to Facebook. Go take a look at what permissions it “needs.”
My Pixel does the colored dot thing as well. It also has the ability to add “Mic access” and “camera access” quick options to the pull down menu to quickly turn the permissions on/off at the OS level. I keep mine off at all times. If I receive an incoming call, I get a popup asking if I want to enable the microphone to answer it.
Ok. I guess I just didn’t automatically understand what “the shortcut” meant.
