| floridagram | <Abrerr> BSPWM - why you so shit now? | 03:21 |
|---|---|---|
| floridagram | <Abrerr> If anyone has suggestions for tiling WMs to try out, I'm open to suggestions. | 03:21 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> BSPWM changes are just kicking my ass. | 03:21 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I know i3 has a following, can anyone recommend it? | 03:22 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Not a fan of Tiling WMs in general | 03:23 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I prefer them these days just because I'm only ever on the laptop. And mashing my fingers all over the trackpad eats up time in the longrun | 03:24 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> That said, the XPS13 has a silky feeling trackpad. :D | 03:24 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Awesome is nice, but it does some funky things with arrangements on many windows. Like leaving a pixel or two visible on any one side of a window of the objects behind it -- like wallpaper. | 03:26 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I'm not OCD, but it drives me nuts. | 03:26 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I am also using the XPS13 as my general carry laptop | 03:26 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Did you go the QHD route? | 03:27 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> No, actually using the 2014 version | 03:27 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> oh right on | 03:27 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> 9350 here, I wanna say that's the 2016 version. | 03:27 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Only thing I'd like on it is an HDMI port, but not a big deal. | 03:28 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But yea, I'm mad annoyed with BSPWM. An update came out which totally wrecked my configuration. | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I just kept it down-graded for a while | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> It works well enough, no need to upgrade it. If I need the power, I will pull out my System76 or Dell precision | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But then decided wutevs, I'll update my configs. | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But man, some functionality just went backwards. | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> And it killlllls me | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> because it was sooo good. | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> And now it's just, eckk | 03:29 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I was using the ACER C720 prior to the XPS as a daily. | 03:30 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I miss it sometimes. | 03:30 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> No idea where I'm going after the XPS. | 03:30 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Likely something old and used, like my C720 was. | 03:30 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> System76 I've considered. | 03:31 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Only thing is it ships with Ubuntu. And I want to say they DO support other distros, but I'm not entirely sure. | 03:31 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> So I'd have to hop back on the Ubuntu train. | 03:31 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Which, isn't a bad thing. | 03:31 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I'm just way out of the Ubuntu loop these days. | 03:31 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I want my next lightweight laptop to use a Intel Core M5, 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD, 1080p Touchscreen and it MUST charge via Type C | 03:32 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Those specs exactly? | 03:32 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> M5 = better battery? | 03:33 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Give or take | 03:33 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Yes | 03:33 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> It does not need to be a powerhouse, just powerful enough for me to use it for most tasks | 03:33 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> ^ | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Why the C720 was so amazing. | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I got it for $200 refurbed with the 4GB if ram | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Still Celeron | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But it did everything I needed. | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> It just choked when I started playing with Android Studio. | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But what doesn't? | 03:34 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I do have the Samsung Chromebook Plus in my backpack for ChromeOS stuff | 03:35 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I ditched ChromeOS for a native Linux install. | 03:35 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> In hindsight, chrouton might've been a good way to go. | 03:35 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> What're you using ChromeOS for these days? | 03:36 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I just like to have a variety of non-Apple devices to play around with | 03:37 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Right on, exposure is good. | 03:38 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> My prob with ChromeOS is I tell everyone to jump on the bandwagon rofl | 03:38 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Because most folks I know are just Facebook folks. | 03:38 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> And I'm tired o' fixin their crap. | 03:38 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Those are the ideal user | 03:39 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I honestly do not need a lot of local compute power - chromeOS does quite well for most things I do. I offload heavy tasks to one of my servers (Dual Quad Xeons with 16-32 GB of RAM) | 03:40 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> So what would you say your most used OS is for personal use these days? ChromeOS up there? | 03:41 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Ubuntu Gnome is the most used but mainly on my XPS13. I dont bring out my Kudu much. | 03:43 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I just installed Budgie. | 03:43 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Kinda cool. | 03:43 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> but... that trackpad :| | 03:43 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I was surprised to learn that gnome-control-center has it's own keybinds. | 03:44 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I thought it would bring up hotkeys for the entire DE. I was wrong. | 03:44 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I have been using DeX a lot over the past 2 days. It is interesting but shows that Android has a way to go for a few things. | 03:44 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> What I like about Android is that it's that flexible. | 03:44 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> :D | 03:44 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> That is true. My biggest complaint is there are no good FTP/SFTP clients for Android | 03:45 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Most of them work but are limited | 03:46 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Hrm, I haven't checked into utilitarian apps for Android. | 03:46 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Just derp everyday stuff. | 03:46 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> And as far as chrouton overhead, I guess you're referring to ChromeOS eating things up in the background? | 03:48 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Not that it's that heavy, but it'll always be there | 03:48 |
| floridagram | <SivaMachina> @Abrerr, I like i3wm | 15:40 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I spent the past 3 days transferring almost 1.1 TB of Data to a Western Digital Portable Hard Drive - It just died on me | 15:41 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> The drive was purchased on Saturday | 15:41 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> @SivaMachina, Yanno, I'll give it a shot later today. Any pro tips? | 18:30 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> @KMyers, Omg. :/ | 18:31 |
| floridagram | <SivaMachina> @Abrerr, You will have to edit a conf for i3 and one for the status. I do suggest using arandr(for adjusting your resolution but you will need to add something to your i3 conf to make it permanent ) lxapperance, and use either Feh or nitrogen to set your wallpaper.... You will need to add something to you conf referring to one of those to programs to make it permanent. | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> How do I get rid of this? | 21:04 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Just click on it. I got it as well (Amber Alert) | 21:04 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I can't | 21:04 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> Keeps making that damn noise | 21:05 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> You can disable emergency alerts if you want | 21:05 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> Hoe | 21:05 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> To disable emergency alerts in stock Android, head to Settings, click on the More option under the Wireless & Networks section, and scroll down to the Cell Broadcasts settings. Once opened, you will be given the option to disable extreme threats, severe threats, and Amber Alerts. | 21:06 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Note - that is for Stock Android - your steps may vary slightly | 21:06 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I don't see that at all | 21:06 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> There is definitely a Wireless and Networks section | 21:07 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Go back one screen and see if you have a Wireless and Networks Section | 21:07 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I do | 21:07 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I clicked more | 21:07 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Your phone may be like Samsung, Try launching the stock SMS application on your phone | 21:10 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Under the settings, there may be an "Emergency Alert Settings" | 21:11 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Edit : Yup, that is the case with your phone as well - https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-15624 | 21:12 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Likewise you can just read the message/delete it in there if you dont want to completely disable it | 21:12 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I can't read it | 21:13 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Do you see an emergency message in the stock messaging application? | 21:14 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> Fixed | 21:14 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I couldn't read it from the lock screen | 21:14 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Every phone in the office went off at the same time | 21:16 |
| floridagram | <AdamOutler> @KMyers you think you got it bad.. I work in a place where we test phones. | 22:34 |
| floridagram | <AdamOutler> Everyone has several phones. | 22:35 |
