“religious Nazi regime”? If you mean Christian Nationalists, then that would be worth a lot. Oh, wait, I got confused. Never mind.

All religions are misguided. People, in this situation, just use them as an excuse to kill each other.

ffmpeg can do it. I haven’t used it in a while, but here is a good start How can I normalize audio using ffmpeg?

How people embrace religions and the horrors they’ve inflicted on people in the name their religion and their god or gods.

I hope for once people would get together and drop Discord so that Discord would have to reverse this policy. So often, we the customers really have the power if we get together and act together. All these social networks are nothing without the contributions of the customers.

How many air strikes do you need to get a Nobel Peace Prize?

Not familiar with PopOS Tiling, but my goto tiling for KDE is Krohnkite It can be installed inside of KDE via Settings / Kwin Scripts / “Get new…” It has lots of keyboard shortcut and of course you can change them.

There is such a history of guns in the United States, that there is no way we will ever not have guns. If there are going to be guns, I want more good guys with guns than bad guys. If the pro gun crowd turns against Trump, that would be great!

I am sure the plan is to eventually roll this out to everyone.

Rather than a tool, what about blocking via the hosts file. There must be some hosts files out there that do this for Windows 11.

I thought up/down wasn’t for approval/disapproval, but to vote if the post was worth reading. In other words, a well written, factual article about a topic you disagree with should have a good number of up votes.

Religion is a great scam.

1. Convince people there is a god.
2. Convince them that you know what god wants.
3. Tell them what god wants (here is where you tell them whatever you want in order to take advantage of them)
4. Convince them that if they do not obey god (what you tell them) that they will suffer for eternity.

Now you’ve got them in the palm of your hand.

If the top bar is set up as a menu bar, it could save space on the screen when multiple horizontally placed windows (without individual menu bars) are on the screen. Other than that, I think the general top bar stuff can just be in the bottom bar.

The thing stopping me from using Arch is that most programs come out as debs and you have to wait for them to show up in the AUR. Example: when Mullvad VPN first came out it was only available as a deb. How long did it take to show up in the AUR? Who made that available? Was it the Mullvad folks or someone else? That’s the kind of thing that concerns me.

The Google “no side load” policy is mostly about stopping free and open source software like this and leaving you only with those above mentioned junk programs as your choices.

I find tiling more efficient because

1. I can have predetermined layouts per desktop where my often used programs are.
2. I only have to purposely move windows out of the way if I’ve made the floating on purpose, and
3. Less mouse use and more keyboard use for changing the layout, resizing windows, changing to another window …

The more I use tiling, the more advantages I find. At this point I think I could use any desktop as long as I had Krohnkite functioning tiling.

I wanted to give tiling a chance. I decided to use Krohnkite for a week to give it a chance. At first I didn’t care for tiling but quickly got into it and now I love it. Sometimes to really know if something is going to work for you or not, you have to give it some time. I’ve used this approach for other things (not all work out) but for Krohnkite it did for me. Also, don’t forget to check out all the Krohnkite options.

Do RSS feeds count as a “service”? I fear one day they will go away and that will be the end of my efficient way of keeping up with things I am interested in.
