Technically I'm sure it's possible, I've seen programs that have a kind of frosted see-through look. But that's something the program has to implement.

Forgot one thing: that top bar is also entirely configurable. It's called waybar, and you can find the docs here: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration

Pretty much everything in Sway is configurable, as most of it is just written in a config file. You can use different application launchers (fuzzel, for example), you can add a notification centre like swaync, or just customise waybar with whatever modules you want. I think you can even switch out waybar for something else, but I haven't tried that myself.

Here's some useful defaults for Sway: (the default mod key is meta, aka the windows key)

  • Mod+d: open application menu
  • Mod+arrows: switch active windows
  • Mod+shift+arrows: move window (rearrange within a screen, or move between screens)
  • Mod+1-9: switches workspaces
  • Mod+shift+1-9: moves active window to that workspace (does not activate that workspace)
  • Mod+space: make the window a regular floating window. Using Mod+arrows on a window that's floating will move that window (I think) 10 pixels at a time. You can also drag this window around with the mouse.

Lay-out:

  • Mod+w: tabbed lay-out
  • Mod+e: split lay-out (default)
  • Mod+s: stacking lay-out

When using split lay-out (these take a little getting used to):

  • Mod+b: split the current "container" horizontally
  • Mod+v: split vertically

Placing windows next to each other will put them in a "group" together, which you can see by them sharing the same blue title bar thing. Using these shortcuts changes how the windows in the group are represented.

I found getting windows in/out of the group I want, and especially splitting and re-arranging groups within groups, to be a little unpredictable, but after using Sway for a while you do get used to it.

Those tools were made for pulseaudio, not pipewire, so it makes sense they worm the same. Don't they have pipewire-specific versions of these tools?

Could be some program using your microphone. A lot of headsets will go into hands-free mode when you do that.

Fedora (immutable at least) has it disabled by default I think, but it's just one checkbox away in one of the setup menus.

There was this coffee corner near us when we went on holiday to Greece, called the Super Mario Coffee Kiosk.

I'm still surprised Nintendo hasn't tried to sue them yet, they even ripped off the logo and Mario himself.

Or you could leave the mirrors as they should be, and just turn your head to check your blind spots?

I mean in a way where you'd get 2 different X/Wayland sessions to select in your login manager.

I have also never run into issues doing this, just have always been told it's a bad idea.

I think generally installing another DE on top of an existing one (assuming you already had one) is not recommended, as they might use some of the same config files and mess them up for each other.

Oh I had no idea, that's a very nice feature then!

Which is about 23.3 m². That's almost half the size of my previous flat, I could totally see some super expensive studios that small.

 

So recently, when I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, which involves a lot of pressing alt, a system sound keeps playing every once in a while. I think it has something to do with alt+wasd or alt+mouse buttons or something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Anyone know what this could be?

 

I'm looking for a good solution to clone/sandbox an app, so I can use it with multiple accounts.

I recently got a separate phone number, and also a whatsapp account, for work-related stuff. Turns out whatsapp's own account switching thing is very unreliable and often doesn't deliver any notifications for the "inactive" account.

I remember using Island a long time ago, but unfortunately that one hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'm using parallel space right now, which at least delivers my notifications, but often super late and includes ads, which also isn't ideal.

Are there any good cloning solutions left, preferably with decently quick notifications? (open source would also be a big plus ofc)

I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

 

The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
