i don't know if it counts as proper cyberpunk but it floated to tie top of my mind when i read the post.

in fall 2014 i was visiting a friend in stockholm, and through some weird mix of circumstances we found ourselves in the apartment of a friend of a friend of theirs, at three in the afternoon, like eight of us in a three-person sofa bed and watching Algorithm. the guy who lived there really wanted to show it to us since he thought it was so cool, gritty and realistic. i remember that he had a photograph on his wall of him shaking hands with the king. i think he worked for google. anyway...

it is one of the worst movies i've seen. and it's not funny bad. it's an angsty drama about a computer hacker hiding from the authorities, so it's mostly about how good he is with computers. all in this muted gray-green color, it's mostly shot day-for-night, and it's just soooo boring.

the only detail i vividly remember is a scene where the protagonist swaps to a new burner phone. he does this by taking the SIM card out, throwing the old phone in a bin, and putting the SIM into the new phone. i still think about that scene.

Removed by mod

don't use balenaetcher, it's a terrible piece of software. use unetbootin or usbimager.

looks like some of these are included in the old license, like custom sorting and categories, and extra widget pages (i don't really use widgets).

lawnchair actually wasn't on my radar, mostly because it's not in the f-droid default repo. i recently added in izzyondroid and it popped up. unfortunately it has no app categories and no way to customize gestures so it's out. thanks for the suggestion though.

there are tons of open-source launchers that have caught my interest, but none of them are as bare-bones as my SL config.

i have none of the listed features, i am also (apparently) missing adaptive icons, "smart" widgets, folders, and "ultra immersive mode". not that they have managed to tell me why i need them.

sounds like there isn't an issue. i have a license without the feature pack, and for that feature pack they want to charge me 20 times what i paid for the app.

the only feature i'm missing is one they removed from my license, icon notifications. that was the first thing in the feature pack way back when, and it wasn't worth paying extra to get back. no way in hell am i paying for it now.

i've been on SL6 since release. currently on 6.4 build 043. but on the version page it says I have an "old license" and wants me to pay $25 to get a new one.

yeah i think 3 var the first version i used. bought the only version available at the time, which said it was a lifetime thing, but starting at v5 it's been trying to upsell me and it's frustrating.

did not know about the rotation thing, will try that next time it happens. i'm on 14 so no luck with it being google's fault

i've been using the paid version of smart launcher since Android 4. it's been slowly getting worse over the years. from multiple waves of advertising new paid features (that you don't get by having the paid version), to having to keep multiple versions installed due to the licensing being version dependent, to recently randomly locking up and having to be repeatedly force-closed. yet there's no other launcher i've tried that can be configured the way i want to have my phone set up. it's annoying.

plan 9 is not Unix

cirno supremacy

yakety sax is based on a song with lyrics! "yakety yak" by the Coasters

I've been using the paid version of tapet for like eight years now.

our uni had mandatory chemistry for all engineering degrees, even industrial economics and computer engineering, so naturally a lot of people had to re-take it. the registrations weren't done processing for weeks, and during that time you had to assume you were in, or you'd be hopelessly behind. that lecture hall was filled to the brim the first few weeks every semester. people were sitting in the aisles, on the stairs, in the window sills, two to a chair... it was insanity. i really hope they fixed that.

The right monitor is indeed first when enumerating, but it's also an old-ass monitor that runs over DVI while the newer monitor is on HDMI since i can't get it to its correct refresh rate otherwise. no way to swap them around i'm afraid.

I've done the primary switch trick before, and it works, but it's just as temporary as just killing plasmashell, and that's less keystrokes. deleting the cache also works for a boot or two, but as you say it's a bit of a nuclear option.

Honestly, part of the reason i'm asking here is that i can't navigate the kde bugtracker. I've tried looking for issues relating to kwin, plasmashell, desktop, graphical errors, but i either get thousands of vaguely related issues or nothing.

Oxygen Not Included. it's just a constant stream of entropy-driven-crisis mitigation.

my current issue is that part of an oil field deep underground briefly became too hot and since then my base has been slowly filling with toxic sour gas. the only way to get rid of it is to turn it into methane and sulfur by cooling it to -160 degrees but i don't produce enough hydrogen to run the thermal nullifier.
