Never even thought of that, but this is genious.

Maybe using ctrl for that is not the best decision, but I understand this was just a showcase. I wish this actually existed and was used in real desktop environments.

Not a solution you want, but consider custom compose key sequences for repetitive text.

I guess we as a society will never get rid of pedophiles as long as we are so afraid of being stigmatized that we can’t even call pedophile a “pedophile”.

Oh, true, lol. Thanks. Maybe it was voice input.

PDF files? What does the game have to do with PDF files?

Why not codeberg?

Links to project website? Code repo? Screenshots?

Link to some file hosting with some archive is a bit suspicious, and I looked up the game title and couldn’t find any mentions on the internet.

I get what you are saying and understand the balance between convenience and security, however most end users don’t care. Their thing stops working and they complain “Wayland bad, my workflow now broken!”, nothing you can do.

I’m not the OP, but tbh the only thing that doesn’t work for me is the apps that replace your input by the same thing in another layout.

For example, you have 2 keyboard layouts, type something and realize afterwards that you forgot to change the keyboard layout. You press the hotkey to trigger a script that removes your input, translates it into a different keyboard layout and pastes it back.

People who only use 1 keyboard layout don’t even think about this issue and usually don’t know such software exists.

I miss it a lot. There’s 1 script that works in wayland but it’s pretty buggy and it’s not in arch repos, so I don’t trust it too much. X11 had many options.

1. “I could install linux, but what am I gonna do on Linux?” (Note: Some people just think OS is an amusement park)

2. “I could install linux but then I have to type commands into a terminal?”

Because they wanted drama and clickbaity headline.

What exactly is “sideloading”?

Couldn’t make it work, unfortunately.

Can I just save this as an html file (with all js inside, in a script element) and use this single html file to work with pdfs (after opening it in a browser)?

No kidding I wish I was paid for this instead of what I actually do at work.

This is an excellent answer and I wish I knew all of this when starting to use archlinux. “Arch does not support partial upgrades” is something you can read everywhere, but it’s rare to find such a good explanation of what exactly a partial upgrade is, and which commands lead to it.

I only learned about all of this when I got into some broken state by randomly running pacman commands.

Everyone, be like this guy. This guy explains stuff well. Newbies need stuff explained.

I remember liking weechat but if you prefer GUI, quassel is also good.

Now I wonder if I dual boot linux / windows, why is there no software that can basically use my existing windows installation from another partition to run windows software (like, maybe load it into VM or something)?

Thank god we have people like you. Please never stop telling people it’s ok to use this word.

I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.

For example, I run:

longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful

Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain “# keep”) in your history to remove or keep.
