The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.

For a nanosecond, I somehow understood the headline as "Audio Galaxy Still Accessible". Which really would be impressive.

I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn't giving me any results from TGx.

New to Lemmy.

And new to workspaces. I'd get confused at first which workspace I was on.

Different backgrounds helped a bit, but I'm almost always in maximized windows.

I wanted to have different colours for windows, panel etc but couldn't.

So I adjusted panel opacity to 95% on Enter, 75% on Leave. That allows the background colour to bleed through.

A user on the Linux Mint forums suggested adjusting workspace margins to let the background show even when windows are maximized.

So now I have an 8-pixel strip of desktop showing just above the panel. Combined with the lowered panel opacity, I never have to wondr anymore what workspace I'm on.

  • Workspace [1/2/3] with windows minimized.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Leave" opacity of 95%.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Enter" opacity of 75%.

(I read somewhere that it's better to host images for Lemmy on Pixelfed. So I made my first post there with all the screenshots, and linked to it. Hope that works.)

PS: Anyone have any other ideas to help distinguish workspaces at a glance?

  1. Buy a share in a publicly-traded insurance company.
  2. At a shareholder meeting, ask if the company has factored increased political risk, vandalism, arson, third-party damage from arson, etc into its premium calculations for: Tesla owners; Tesla showrooms; Tesla charging stations; car parks that even have Teslas in them; any other conceivably exposed company or individual.
  3. Repeat with every other insurance company.
  4. Repeat said concerns in every other possible medium (is there a Lemmy community for insurance actuaries?)
  5. Sit back and watch people and businesses scramble to avoid "the Tesla tax" of ever-increasing insurance premiums.

The clue is in the word: drop sabots/clogs into things.

Sabots/clogs are:

  • organic
  • renewable
  • recyclable

And they store, rather than release, carbon. The eco-friendliest sabotage is sabots!

Disclosure: I literally just moved here from Reddit.

I only got started on Reddit a few months ago, personally I'm moving here because the US has now clearly exited the world's democratic camp, so I want to derisk/decouple from US services and products.

Learning now that Reddit management is supportive of the autocrats taking over the US only confirms my choice to GTFO of there.

Historically, people didn't have easy access to multiple forms of birth control.

But then they've already started working on that: Dobbs, period policing, "NO CONDOMS FOR GAZA!!!"

I noticed a distinct lack of Tragedeigh-style names.

Maybe we need more Paydons and Jaedins in government.

Zen: On one machine, Flatpak. On the other, AppImage through AM. Firefox: Mint-maintained version from Mint repo (deb).

I can't remember the exact differences between Firefox upstream and Mint version. But I believe Mint began maintaining their own deb at a time when upstream Ubuntu was only offering Firefox as a snap, which Mint is against, and Mozilla hadn't yet begun offering their own deb repo.
