Trying to manage KDE Plasma with home manager is a pain in the ass.

In other words, the bad man made me do it. It wasn't my fault.

I'm so new, IDK what interests me yet

It's only been tested on xorg at the moment, but in theory would work on wayland as well. https://codeberg.org/thelinuxcast/scripts/src/branch/master/gifcopy (2/2)

So #matrix doesn't have a gif picker. So I created a rofi script that will browse through Klipy's gif catelogue, and then add it to the clipboard where it can be pasted into matrix (or discord). (1/2)

It's new. I thought I'd try it out and see what the hype was about.

That's cool, I'll check it out. I ended up on Futon on Android. Still looking on Linux

Anyone know of a good manga reader for Linux?

Can we maybe, just maybe, never say "get the ick" again, please?

The webhooks are identical; the config is shared between all the rooms. I just have no idea how they work in one place, and not the others. (2/2)

If anyone out there has set up mautrix bridge for Discord and has managed to get avatars to sync to Discord, please DM me.
I have it working in two channels, but for the life of me, I can't make it work in the others. (1/2)

Pretty sure claude just told me to go to sleep. lol

For those of you who are leaving Discord, a reminder that The Linux Cast has a Matrix server: https://matrix.to/#/#the-linux-cast:matrix.org

This day has been cursed. Uploaded the patron podcast, 99% of the audio was missing and I didn't figure it out.
now, trying to upload the replacement and the damn internet is doing its thing again.

I'm beginning to wonder if the stupid 5Mb/s Upload speed bug I've been having for month is because of my managed switch.

So does this make the #Jets and the #Vikings the stupidest franchises in the NFL? #Superbowl

If you don't like Defense, this Super Bowl is not for you.

Elecom Huge Plus in the house

For those of you who use field notes, what/how do you store your used notebooks in? I don't have a drawer, so I'm looking at a container of some sort, but I don't know where to look.

Good Lord, this #MSU team is going to give Izzo a heart attack. What is going on?

Your Book Sucks, And I'm Not Afraid To Say So

going from a trackball to a regular mouse is horrible. I don't like it.

My Elecom HUGU (the third) broke this morning. The scrollwheel has completely died.
I love this thing, but this is the third one I've had in three years.

Now, if you're saying horrible things about the writer, that's bad. But if you don't like a book, it's damn okay to say so. You can also tell people why. If, as an author, you're so afraid of people not liking your work, then don't be an author. (2/2)
