What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I don't use it daily, more like several times per week - a wooden cutting board I made in school about 44 years ago.

Depends on what n is.

Every time I hear this song I just shake my head.

Fox did the same thing with Firefly. Showed the episodes out of order and cancelled after one season. It also got a movie years later.

Does the offer include a get-out-of-jail card?

Waaaaay - Firefly.

What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I used to work nights. When I had the next day off, I would usually stay up all day and go to sleep that evening. So, wake up around 2-4pm Friday, go to at 10pm to 6am Saturday and not sleep until Saturday evening.

This eventually caught up with me. I was riding a bicycle down a hill, just coasting and fell a sleep for a second. Down I went. Need stitches in my head ( I still have a bump), tons of road rash, and banged up my knee.

I recovered fully except for the bump on my head.

That show has been mentioned several times in this thread.

ProtonVPN - Any plans of creating a .rpm app? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

ProtonVPN - Any plans of creating a .rpm app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

Sync on Android (sh.itjust.works)
 

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora Workstation is my first distro. I like it but feel it needs a little tweaking. The screenshot is my desktop as I type this.

I installed "Extension Manager" and the following extensions - "Dash to Dock" and "System Monitor"

  1. Dash to Dock converts the Dash to a Dock with auto hide capability as well as being able to move the dock and change the icon sizes. Not necessary but it is annoying after a while moving the mouse to the dash, expecting it to popup and it doesn't. 'Oh right, now I have to hit that key'
  2. "System Monitor" shows the real time CPU load, memory, swap, upload, and download. I installed this to see how this used laptop, Levono T470s, handles Linux. So far, it's awesome.

Extension Manager also allows me to tweak the built-in system extensions.

  1. "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" (that's a mouthful). This one shows minimized app in the top bar.
  2. "Window List" is the bottom bar showing the currently open app.

There are pages full of extensions but I'm happy with what I installed.

"GNOME Tweaks" is another app I'm using. With this I was able to add Maximize and Minimize buttons to any open window (there are many other options) as well as pick a few apps to start with system boot. Normally, ProtonVPN has to be started with a terminal command at each system boot. GT does it for me.

Edit: I recently switched from a Samsung S6 Lite Android tablet with a Logitech keyboard and mouse to a used laptop running Linux.
