A simple joy in life on a warm long run is a cool sprinkler

@0x00string oooo I think I've seen this scenario in a playboy before.
"Hey big guy want me signature....."

@alxlg yes im using HTTPS, I now i should use SSH, but whatever its my own internal instance.
But why would ksshaskpass prompt me? And prompt me incorrectly?

Figured out how to setup Virtual Desktops but no shortcuts were defined or any way I could see how to define the shorts to switch between them.
Had to google "keyboard shortcut to switch between virtual desktops?" turns out it was Ctlr-F1 (super easy to discover?) #papercuts

i see we've moved on from "i'm an expert on the 1st ammendant and right to assemble" to "i'm an expert on plane takeoffs and what causes a crash"

@alxlg This is fromwhen i do a git commit to my local gitlab instance. ksshaskpass is clearly asking for password but in reality it is asking for a uesrname.
The confusion is the "username for..." and then the field says "password"

@alxlg I didn't know about virtual desktops like that. Since I can right click a app and assign it to an activity I assumed it was a virtual desktop, guess it isn't?
Also I shouldnt have to have some script for snap to the window side to actually work correctly. It just does out of the box in Windows and the grouping of apps is really nice.

Googling the difference between an activity and a virtual desktop is just another papercut slowly killing me

@referencemoth I don't have Mac hardware or a Mac OS license so I have two options and one of them is killing me with papercuts

@alxlg Yes it was ksshaskpass, silly to me name. From the cli when I type git push up popped a window that was asking for my password, but it was really my gitlab user name. I'll try to get a screenshot later

sorry for the complaining today. But another thing on #kde #kubuntu is "activities" they just don't seem to work well. In Windows 11 I can set thngs to a virtual desktop and they just stay that way, even after a reboot. And yet somehow I can alt+tab from one activity to another. Or a link in Mastadon will open up on Chrome in the other Activity.

All #papercuts

One thing on #kubuntu / #kde I can't get to work correctly is a snap to for my windows. I want one window of Chrome open on half the screen and another on the other half.
In Windows 11 it just works and more importantly groups the two together so I can quickly alt+tab to the group of splt Chrome windows

Here's an example of a dumb one. When I do "git push ..." Ksshpass window opens up and asks for a password first, but what it is really asking for is my username which it hides behinds *. Took way too long to figure that out.

#kde #kubuntu #papercuts

I don't lilke everything about Windows 11, but it just works and I don't spend so much time googling why crap doesn't work. <sigh>

I've really been trying hard to use Kubuntu for several weeks, but there is always something little that screws up and I waste time googling it.

It's juts a death by papercuts over and over.

Customer: "This issue that I've never mentioned before is an issue we've been having long time and need to figure out."
Me: "Cool, let's check on it and see how we can solve it"
Customer's boss:" This issue I've never mentioned is now a giant issue and most be escalated and solved immediately."

Welcome to my end of the day

One of the things I hated about other social media sites was "I'm an expert on this topic because I read..." and I enjoyed this site being mostly free of that.
That has changed and I don't think it's for the better

I showed this new ROG XBOX Ally to my kids and all they cared about was the new Hollowed Knight game shown on it.

@thurrott I would purchase one of these. Hopefully I don't have to pay like $800 for it.

This weekend is spent turning a two stall garage which had one stall housing a mini-van and the 2nd stall holding all the "will get to it sometime crap" into a place to put a 2nd car.
What fun are you up to?
