@33550336 Thanks! I’m still figuring some things out as I go but it’s just some habits I don’t have!

@FreddiesLantern Aside from the hiccups I mentionned, it works great! I was surprised my backlit keyboard even works, but I think that’s managed by my bios.

I’ll keep on using it, but I’m trying to document my struggles because if Linux is aiming to be a good alternative to Windows computers getting to end of life, then some set up wouldn’t be done by most people and just assume it’s broken and maybe switch back to Windows where it “Just works”.

Maybe this can help with the onboarding experience!

@EtnaAtsume Mint install or not, you should regularly back up your data in an external drive!

Yes, installing mint on the Windows partition deletes Windows and all your files so make a backup or put them on another partition!

But without deleting your data, you can always boot from an USB stick and try thingd around in this environnement!

@cupcakezealot It’s
neofetch

Try it! :blobcathug:

@Creat My laptop is weird, because it has a media key for screenshoting an area (which is basically a key that doed Windows Shift S which isn’t recognized by default on Mint), and a print screen key which works fine. And to screenshot an area, on Mint it’s ctrl+print screen

@Nyadia Figured it out and it worked! Strange that this isn’t the default.

@scott It’s a mastodon post, lemmy federates it and takes the start of the post as a title. Can’t do much about that :blobcatcoffee:

@cmnybo I figured it out, but I think it’s still not very intuitive when you’re used to it working by default!

@eatCasserole I have found a software called Diodon, and seems to work fine!
You need to set a custom shortcut in your settings but besides that it does the job

@hard_zero1 Thanks so much! It worked! :blobcatheart:

@First_Thunder Is there any way to disable that?

@This2ShallPass @themachinestops As an extension developper on Mozilla’s store, yes it’s definitely possible. There’s some automatic review process but what you state in your implicit data consent disclosure (that’s how they call it) is up to the developer.

However, the extension can’t access all websites unless you specifically allow it while installing. There’s an “All websites” permission, so if it’s that or if it includes some kind of sketchy site then it’s a bad sign.

Finally, just like any web page, you can always inspect an extension and check the network requests to see if it’s doing malicious stuff. If so, then you can report it.

But since mozilla accounts are free and only require a verified email, they could just create another one. It’s an endless game of whack-a-mole!

@anamethatisnt @schnurrito Good catch, I did not include a licence, now it’s MIT licensed!

@First_Thunder More like “Chromium takes ~2x longer to process folder uploads (before I can even read the files)”, and “Chromium drops all files without the subfolders when you drop a folder on a page (it’s just like if you uploaded all the files from inside all the folders), although it still works fine when you use the upload button for some reason”

So yeah, firefox optimized because Firefox implements the features better haha

@MonkderVierte The thing is, since the code is running inside a browser extension there’s no way to interact with third party tools that aren’t part of the standard JavaScript api.

Well, I mean there’s Native Messaging https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native/_messaging but it only works for PC (Bye bye to ~70% of Android users) and I’d have to use a forked version to be able to handle messages from the browser extension, so I think that’s not the best solution for me

@MonkderVierte I’m afraid I can’t handle that from a browser extension, but good to know!

@Redex68 Honestly I have no idea, I barely use OBS

@prex Wait that’s a thing?
Well, this host basically the same value as a “Sent from my iPad” signature haha, how can you encrypt a post that’s publicly available to everyone?

- Sent with Mastodon Web

@LodeMike A more programatically concrete way would be to use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaStream/_Recording/_API/Using/_the/_MediaStream/_Recording/_API

@geneva_convenience Elaborate?
