Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward?
  • if you have to wipe with toilet paper anyway, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a bidet?

    No. The purpose of the bidet is to properly clean your posterior which cannot be achieved with a toilet paper alone. Also the amount of toilet paper needed to dry is lower than the amount needed to 'clean'

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Currently, gnome has moved away from eye of Gnome to Image Viewer/Loupe. The website doesn't have the dependencies though I don't think you should need the gnome-desktop package. Perhaps you can look into it. Just be aware that the app is pretty barebones for now.

    Edit - Alternatively, you could look into gwenview which is normally shipped in kde. That will have the advantage of shipping with a lot more editing options and since it is a more mature(I think is the right word) project, I expect it to have better support for esoteric file formats.

  • Norris' complains about moving under braking were fine because max was doing that to a degree but his complains that max pushed him off when he outbroke himself and ended up going off were pretty pathetic. Neither driver came out looking good from that fight

  • Lando was ahead at the apex, Max should have backed out.

    This was only because he broke so late that he did not make the apex and almost did not make the corner, certainly left no space for max. If that is how things will be, we will see max divebombing and going into people from now on because like Alonso he too takes advantage of dubious stewarding.

  • [Austrian GP] Perez gets a 5 sec penalty for speeding in the pitlane.
  • What is perez doing man. Verstappen had a slow stop, drove 2/3rds of the lap with a puncture, made an extra stop and had a 10 second penalty. Even after all that, he still finished 15+ seconds ahead of perez. Just how¿?

  • Where max looked like he took a pretty normal line

    The line slightly different than his normal but nothing over the edge. I was shocked when palmer squarely claimed that Verstappen was the only one over the line and that Lando was never over it during the whole fight.

  • Well that was exciting at the end. The only thing missing are the long and tedious argument chains that would have been found on reddit with everybody arguing whose fault is it.

    Do you people agree with Jolyon that Max going off the track to keep the position should have been a pen. The way I see it, Lando clearly pushes him off after the divebomb

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • That same logic could be applied for the save and discard button. Should there be a bigger gap between them lest somebody misclick and discard things instead of saving them¿? Atleast in the case where they accidentally click cancel instead of discard, they are not losing any data.

    Hell if this really about data safety, discard/don't save should be the isolated button because it is the only destructive option

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • Here's the thing: Apple's design you'll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don't lose their work when they just want to click "Cancel".

    And gnome has those dialogs in a different colour to achieve easily noticable differentiation between the two options

    Testing if VRR is active and working

    cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/15351455

    > Testing if VRR is active and working > > I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

    Testing if VRR is active and working

    I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

    Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main

    Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

    So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

    Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

    Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

    Appreciation Post

    Words cannot express just how much I love the new setting to quickly toggle between light and dark mode. I am very very grateful. Thank you @[email protected], this is a wonderful app.

    DRM error in F1TV

    Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

    Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)
