Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.

The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.

No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!

Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!

If find myself writing anything I’d call a “program” (rather than just a script) in bash then it’s time to think about using a proper language rather than a shell script, let alone awk or sed!

I was keeping in mind that they put that much money in, surely all that money has made something playable that would make some money, whereas throwing it all away makes nothing at all, right?

“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”

But why? Did they actually think it was going to cost more money to keep the servers running than it would bring in? What’s the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy?

Given how used I am to every statement by a politician or business being this slick, polished, carefully re-drafted beige speech it’s a real contrast to see someone like Torvalds just blasting out their thoughts

It’s ideal for someone who really doesn’t understand computers (so can’t be relied on to install updates etc) if you don’t want to have to be tech support as much as for a “proper” OS

I posted this xkcd a couple of weeks ago, it’s always relevant!

Nice, I’ll have an investigate, thanks

Whoops, I meant “passkey”, I’ll edit my original comment

Using a security key as a password manager passkey seems to resolve this issue (I think?), but I guess the issue is more a problem for the casual user who wouldn’t bother with a security key!

Ooh that’s interesting to know! Though I do make use of Cryptomator on my phone too, is rclone on Android in a useable state?

The important stuff is in cloud storage using Cryptomator (I’m hoping that rclone should make sync simple), I should probably set up time shift in case things do go wrong

Apologies for the very late reply and thanks for all the suggestions! Have you tried Solaar with your mouse? I have a different Logitech one, can’t remember the name but it works perfectly for gestures.

It’s interesting timing, two years after a UK government spokesperson said “we are not currently considering replicating” the EU charging requirement and a full year after the European Union officially mandated USB-C charging for a wide range of electronic devices.

There’s been a bit of a change since then, mate

I used Winlator at the start of the year just to test out some little itch.io games and it was pretty basic, huge to hear how far it’s come already!

They make cool stuff, but they are ultimately an advertising company (as in that’s their main source of revenue). So by all means enjoy the cool stuff, just proceed with caution and of course assume nothing is permanent!

There’s no .uk and there never was!

It wasn’t weird until you specified human

That’s been the case for a long time, this xkcd is at least a decade old!
