@mgorny ciekawy eufemizm

Is goatse a star wars character? (please don't tell me)

@mgorny A z Konina nie pochodzi wynalazca prezerwatywy? To może być powiązane

@rogatywieszcz ja podróżuję tylko gdy muszę, więc się nie przejmuję. Jak chcę zobaczyć jakieś miejsce to mi wystarczają zdjęcia z internetu ❤️

@gnomon ❤️❤️❤️

Another pet peeve is laptops that integrate the power indicator LED with the ppwer button.

The computer is off. I need to press and hold the power button to turn it on. When it registers a long press, it indicates that by turning on the power indicator LED. But I can't see it because MY FINGER IS ON THE BUTTON. Should I keep holding the button? Or is it on?

Why do designers get such basic interactions wrong is beyond me

One of the things that frustrates me about modern laptops is that there's no dedicated sleep LED indicator.

There's only one LED and it communicates the power state by either being continuously on, or pulsatig when sleeping.

So now when I want to check if the laptop is asleep, I need to look at an LED for a few seconds to make sure I didn't glance at it during the part of a pulse animation that makes it look like it's on.

Not a good design. Machines shouldn't make me wait.

@thomasmey That in fact works, thanks!

It's weird that journalctl invokes less in such an unintuitive way

@kuba you're doing the right thing! Or at least you're doing what should produce the result you want according to the default configuration of less(1).

However you say you're invoking less "indirectly" with journalctl; do you mean you're running `journalctl ... | less`, or just running `journalctl` and letting it invoke less(1) itself as the default pager? If the latter, it's useful to know that systemd invokes less with some quite non-default options!

@gnomon OMG it works! Thank you!

Ktoś mi kiedyś powiedział, że pokazywanie swojego statusu finansowego przez kupowanie sobie drogich rzeczy jest teraz uznawane za "płytkie" i "basicowe" i teraz ludzie zamiast kupować *rzeczy* aby pokazać swój status, kupują sobie *doświadczenia* - i to przyczynia się do rozwoju branży turystycznej.

Od tego czasu ciężko mi nie patrzeć na podróżowanie dla samego podróżowania jako coś więcej niż symbol statusu

@delta_onenature pressing `q` has no effect for me :<

@thomasmey @DarkMetatron

gnome-terminal. I'm observing the same behavior in Console and xfce-terminal

@thomasmey In my case it just kills `less`. At least when using less indirectly with `journalctl`

@DarkMetatron Neither of these work :<

@stfn czyli jednak samochodoza

This would particularly useful for browsing `journalctl` output 🙏

I've tried pressing Control+X and Control+C, but it just closes less immediately instead of just interrupting the wait for new data.

What do I press to make it stop waiting for data, not just close itself?

Ok so here's a linux question that's been bugging me for years.

I sometimes `less` to display/paginate a streaming stdout from another program. When I press `END` key on the keyboard, it brings me to the bottom of the stream, the latest data it has.

Then it says "Waiting for data... (^X or interrupt to abort)"

I want it to stop waiting for data and let me scroll up as it usually does when it's not waiting for data.
