Re: Got a Smartphone? (who doesn't) Watch what you say on it

How do you pay on SalesPoint or in the shop with GrapheneOS? Some bank's applications support NFC but not all and they are not as versatile as GPay.

Re: [SOLVED] Notepad++ fork with the ability to save text without actually saving it on disk?

tl;dr: this is on notepadqq, not on mint 22. I'm not sure about that, notepadqq is available for Linux Mint from Ubuntu Universe repository along with thousands other packages which are maintained by MOTU Team. Of course its your informed choice not to use notepadqq but also there are thousands of ...

Re: [SOLVED] Notepad++ fork with the ability to save text without actually saving it on disk?

Don't know why but notepadqq is crashing a lot on my PC. It may be if you're on the Linux Mint 22 (notepadqq v2.0.0-beta-git). It will crash until you'll uncheck the auto-save option. After that it will not crash and the text is still available after reopening the app. More on this bug here: https:...

Re: Notepad++ fork with the ability to save text without actually saving it on disk?

It seems to be a tradition of this forum to give vague unverified general advice when there is a specific answer already. To counteract that I expand my comment above a little: Notepadqq is a similar to Notepad++ editor for the Linux . Text is saved as you type without creating a file first... Text ...

1. Are there any downsides to selecting LVM & FDE for a device that only has a single (physical) hard drive? - The automatic installer option LVM+LUKS makes dual boot almost impossible on a Desktop installation with a single drive - There is no need in LVM on Desktop if there is no plans to res...

I think that explains why Right Alt can't be used for typing Polish letter on this keyboard, its code is identical to the Left Alt.

Re: How to type Polish characters?

the output is far bigger than one screen, just run command and using the terminal scrollbar find line with Alt_R. If it is identical to this one, Right Alt is valid.

Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding: It's about installing Polish layout, not about installing Polish language.

May be, I just took Dell Inspiron 7520, (not British keyboard), the right Alt has code 108 0xffea (Alt_R) 0xffe8 (Meta_R) 0xfe03 (ISO_Level3_Shift) 0xfe03 (ISO_Level3_Shift) Then added Polish layout, switched to Polish layout and had Polish letters with Right Alt: Screenshot from 2024-09-10 07-59-45...

Re: Kernel Drama Around Rust Devs

If I was Linus, I'd yank BCacheFS out of the kernel and force it to be built as a module. Currently the main problem with rust and BcacheFS is not with the kernel part but with a bcachefs-tool package which was just orphaned by Debian https://jonathancarter.org/2024/08/29/orphaning-bcachefs-tools-i...
