  • What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there’s a gesture I’m missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

    I read it as pro-gyn-nova

    • Pro: as in professional/effective
    • Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
    • Nova: new (in many romance languages)

    It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I’m sure there are other readings of it too.


  • Fix the system, make a new system, buy discerningly. Have a garden if you can and advocate for more of them if you want. Fight against monoculture, irresponsible fertilizer and pesticide use, copyright abuse, and more. None of that is an irreplacable part of growing food at a large and efficient scale.

    By the way, I’m curious about the Haber-Bosch figure. Isn’t that the process that allows us to easily make fertilizer, and greatly increase productivity? It seems like that 5% is doing much more heavy lifting than, for example, the ~20% from cow burps.

    Proton Drive is online-only so I’m not sure what you’re asking here. Are you asking if you can download files?

    The Google Drive app lets you save a file locally so that you can view it offline. I mean under the hood it is just downloading and syncing, but it’s a lot nicer than having to manage the files you want to view offline yourself.

    That’s a big negative.

    Why? Desktop file backup seems like a pretty similar feature to mobile photo backup (which seems to be working for me).

    Edit: also looking at some videos of the Windows client, folder syncing seems to be possible. Just not yet on Linux. Still not sure why it would be bad.
