Do you believe that the people should be able to have guns to protect themselves, or should the police have the sole authority to own and posess guns to protect the people? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

100% agree. This morning I was thinking about a reply (didn't have time before leaving for work) along these lines. But more of reporting to any nearby active shooter situation and helping the cops in exchange for a free gun and training. I like your idea as well.

What obsession does your country's/region's fast food have? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

How can fast food have an obsession?

OP also didn't want this to be focused around USA gun rights.

In most countries, owning a gun isn't a right, its a privilege.

That sounds good. I once had a job interview where bud was trying to piss me off to see if I had a temper. Something like that could be useful as well.

User pay. Just like buying the gun, driving a car, a boating license, or a hunting license.

The last thing I want in an active shooter situation is someone with more money than skill waving a gun around making the situation worse.

I think the right to have a gun should also include the legal requirement to take and pass a tactical shoot course. No point in having a gun if one can't hit their target in a stressful situation. Paper target shooting isn't good enough.

Anyone else that likes to put their phone in airplane mode to decompress/sleep? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

My phone is always in airplane mode. I use voip (which requires wi-fi ) so I have no need for a full time celltower connection. For the times I do have a data plan, I'll turn off airplane mode when I need to use data.

I use the phone as an alarm clock but the phone never wakes me while dnd is on. It's all about setting it up the right way.

ProtonVPN - Any plans of creating a .rpm app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

Sync on Android (sh.itjust.works)
 

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

I recently moved from Android to Fedora Workstation. (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora Workstation is my first distro. I like it but feel it needs a little tweaking. The screenshot is my desktop as I type this.

I installed "Extension Manager" and the following extensions - "Dash to Dock" and "System Monitor"

  1. Dash to Dock converts the Dash to a Dock with auto hide capability as well as being able to move the dock and change the icon sizes. Not necessary but it is annoying after a while moving the mouse to the dash, expecting it to popup and it doesn't. 'Oh right, now I have to hit that key'
  2. "System Monitor" shows the real time CPU load, memory, swap, upload, and download. I installed this to see how this used laptop, Levono T470s, handles Linux. So far, it's awesome.

Extension Manager also allows me to tweak the built-in system extensions.

  1. "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" (that's a mouthful). This one shows minimized app in the top bar.
  2. "Window List" is the bottom bar showing the currently open app.

There are pages full of extensions but I'm happy with what I installed.

"GNOME Tweaks" is another app I'm using. With this I was able to add Maximize and Minimize buttons to any open window (there are many other options) as well as pick a few apps to start with system boot. Normally, ProtonVPN has to be started with a terminal command at each system boot. GT does it for me.

Edit: I recently switched from a Samsung S6 Lite Android tablet with a Logitech keyboard and mouse to a used laptop running Linux.
