i search for a way to list all programs that currently have indicator applets registered. i get no relevant results. i conclude there is not one person in the world who knows exactly how desktop linux fully works

i press prtsc. flameshot comes up and lets me crop the area i want to screen shot. this is a good thing. there is now a flameshot indicator applet where there wasn't before. this is ok. the muted volume indicator applet has changed from gray to red and become off-center. this is perplexing

linux is a very good operating system for a headless server that turns into a very bad operating system once you plug a monitor into it and install a desktop environment

the only reason this laptop runs linux is that it's a centrino duo from 2008. linux is lightweight, but that's at the expense of not really being very good

using linux always makes me miss windows, every single time.

coming back to a linux laptop i haven't used in a year or so. i look up at the indicator applet tray in my MATE desktop. there is a prohibited symbol. i click on it. an empty box appears. i right click on it. i get the helpful about box that this is an indicator applet panel. i do not know what the prohibited sign means. i cannot get rid of it without getting rid of all the other applets. this is the reality of using a linux desktop

i apparently don't use many things that rely on us-east-1

bring back megas xlr

@arielmt that's close enough to "shit" in portuguese that, honestly, i could own that

sorry toot. i'm new to this mastodon thing

immediately getting 5 favourites on a tweet and feeling like a baseball player who just hit a grand slam on the first pitch looking

@arielmt i'd play that

they just announced the merriam webster word of the year 2025 and it's roguelike deckbuilder

@mwichary dominant but that's my left paw - the gboard feature to make it shrink and be able to be moved into a corner is a godsend. every UI being designed to have the main action button be on the bottom right is not

@acdw sounds bad i hope you get well soon

if you use favourites as a read receipt you have no moral ground to say that words have meaning
