@sullybiker Nice. i3's a good little window mangler if you like tiling, but if you want to try something a little different you might also want to take a look at bspwm.
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/bspwm/overview
And if you ever try OpenBSD, ask me about my .cwmrc. If you like minimalist window manglers you'll love this one. :)
Discussing all things windows and displays with @starbreaker made me fire up i3 on my desktop again. I had forgotten the joy of huge windows with minimal stuff in the way. So clear.
@sullybiker Bad url.
This one is correct. https://https.www.google.com.tedunangst.com/flak/post/sct-set-color-temperature
@sullybiker Let me know if you get better results on X11/Cinnamon.
Also, if you have dev tools and X11 headers/libraries installed, you might want to pull the source for sct, compile it, and stick it in ~/bin. You can combine it with xbacklight to control screen temperature and brightness.
@walruslifestyle I agree. Money is power, and nobody should have too much of either.
@sullybiker Better than expected, actually. She got out of the hospital a little over a week ago and is already chafing against the surgeon's post-op restrictions. :)
@sullybiker I definitely can't help you there. I can't even tolerate MATE or XFCE now that I've got cwm on OpenBSD.
I suspect that the primary use case for GNOME is people with cheap 1366x768 laptops who maximize all of their windows and switch between them using M-Tab. :)
@sullybiker Nice. I bought a T60 a couple of weeks ago and put OpenBSD on it, but haven't had time to do much with it since I've been taking care of my partner (reconstructive surgery after breast cancer) and getting ready for Xmas.
@sullybiker Glad you like it. Is it pleasant to type on?
Also, have you considered configuring GDM to run GNOME using X11? Wayland's only a default.

@fobo Can you get away with hitting him upside the head? If so, I can lend you my LART. It's a collapsing baton autographed by Tonya Harding.
@sullybiker That's a shame. Sorry I couldn't help.
@sullybiker Thanks. I didn't know this because I only use Dell hardware at my day job, and my company-issued laptop runs Windows. My personal laptops that run BSD are all Thinkpads. :)
@sullybiker Oh, right. I forgot that Fedora was pushing Wayland now that it was halfway stable. But are you sure Firefox is actually running in Wayland and not using XWayland?
It's only been a month since Firefox Nightly Builds have had native Wayland support enabled.

@rick_777 Good advice, and I've used it myself.
When I wrote my first published novel, "Without Bloodshed", I showed my grey hat hacker character, Claire Ashecroft, breaking into a police AI by having her household AI start a "POSIX session" (a virtual Unix machine) for her so that it would have plausible deniability. As she used ssh to access a backdoor that a sysadmin she was fucking had created for her, I had her think over the consequences of the crack going bad.
@sullybiker Have you tried using xrandr with the --backlight and --gamma options to adjust your display's brightness and color temperature?
@clayton Could be a consequence of capitalism's tendency to colonize every aspect of human life?
@indie This shouldn't shock anybody, given the content of internal memos exposed to public scrutiny.
“We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it.” ~Facebook VP Andrew Bosworth
@generica Glad my posts helped. Catherine's doing well. Her new Frankenboobies are healing up nicely, her hair's growing back and she's in good spirits. :)
I'm listening to "Beat It" and wishing that Eddie Van Halen and Michael Jackson had done an entire album together back in the 1980s.
