I can't seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?

Not if they are regulated to put an "In Full or in Part AI Generated" label on it.

I think we're there. The future is today.

Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I've tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?

How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.

There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can't seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.

When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.

How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.

~$ ll ~/.themes
drwxrwxr-x  5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
drwxrwxr-x  7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/

So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn't notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.

I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don't list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a "theme" impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??

Still couldn't find anything in Cinnamon Spices. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I don't understand what that means.

Font size did not affect change.

Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.

Tried. No go. It doesn't change with the font size of the title bar.

 

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

Yup. I had this dream on May 8, 1994:

---start---

Reports are continuing to come in... they are confirming that the United States of America has just been taken over and is now under South African rule. "Control Panel Warfare" is what they are calling it. Rumors that the President has attempted suicide are circulating around the globe. "It's all done through computers," someone said. They have taken over with computers.

Everything will change. There will be no more homeless. Effective immediately this is now a police state. We were all in a room when my mom came in and announced this information. I think we were in a conference room at the hospital where she works. As she announced this terrifying news, the tone in the room went from joking to a stomach-turning sour in a matter of seconds. The look on my dads face... he was horrified. No one could believe their ears!

I thought an announcement this shocking would only come from the news that nuclear war has just broken out and we only had a few more moments to live. The news that the U.S. had just been taken over was incredibly shocking, yet at the same time I thought to myself that it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. So I guess I was horrified and not surprised all at the same time.

---stop---

I guess that's one of the selling points on how Jack will make money. Get a small percentage as a fee for each micro payment. I guess that's their revenue model instead of advertisers. It makes sense to not be beholden to the whims of advertisers perception potential market loss (i.e., censor things or lose revenue). But like you, I'm totally not into the crypto thing.

 

Been hearing a little about Nostr. Apparently it's a protocol?

How did it differ from fediverse stuff like ActivityPub protocol?

What is the community size or population of Nostr users compared to Lemmy or Mastodon?

Do you use it?

 

Here is my embarrassing list.

I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just "romance" or smut type books. Grrr.

I really wish these romance novels would separate themselves from the fantasy genre. It wastes my time seeking out highly rated fantasy books only to find out they are actually romance books.

I wish I could block the romance and smut books when searching for fantasy novels.

It's disappointing that these romance novels are masquerading as fantasy novels. I do understand these romance novels really are, for the most part, fantasy, but I wish I wish there were a separate category either for the romance fantasy or for the traditional non-romance fantasy novels so I could block them in my searches. I've no interest in romance at all.
