LET’S GO the night mode switch was a big missing feature for me. Around 3pm this time of year my office gets so bright and I have to go in settings to switch it lol
Ironic that automatic day night mode comes to Linux and Windows 11 doesn’t even have this feature so you have to rely on a 3rd party tool.
Why ironic? It should be clear by now that Linux is the superior system in nearly every way.
This sounds extremely elitist, even when I agree with the words that you wrote. 😅
Microsoft just doesn’t need to innovate, because they already hold a monopoly. If they do innovate, it’s something their investors care about, not their users…
Oh! No no! Don’t get me wrong! I do not think Linux users are superior to Windows users, just that Linux as a platform is superior because it tends to respect users’ more, protects their privacy, often people developing for Linux tend to think about how to make their software more useful (as opposed to just more profitable), which in turn leads to an overall better platform for users.
It is a superior (as in “better”) choice for the people.
No worries, I did not get you wrong. I commented, because I (rightly) assumed that you care to not sound elitist.
I think, a big part of the problem is that saying one choice is superior kind of implies in itself that people who don’t make this same choice are not the smartest.
Obviously, in reality there is a lot of other factors, like inertia (you don’t have to be stupid to not want to learn a different system) and well, the system being separate from the ecosystem (all the light/dark mode features won’t convince someone to switch who strictly needs an application that won’t run on Linux).But yeah, if people don’t pick up on this nuance or don’t give you the benefit of the doubt, that just is likely to sound elitist to them… 🫠
…I also think Linux users are better than Windows users.
@caseyweederman @Bro666 that only means one of three things:
a) your sample size of Linux users is too small
b) the echo chamber of Linux users you measure yourself against is too homogeneous (and y’all happen to be nice guys)
or c) you really aren’t a nice guy and you just look down on all Windows users equally.There’s a lot of nice Windows users - and there’s a lot of not-so-nice Linux users. Don’t get confused when measuring up people - judging a whole group from your POV isn’t good at all.
@caseyweederman @Bro666 Remember - from the proper POV, everyone’s an asshole :)
Global push-to-talk is going to be wild for meetings. In the gazillion years when my work laptop finally ships an up-to-date version of Plasma, that is. Still on 5.27. 🫠
I have already (kind of) implemented this by programming a shortcut into my keyboard, and it was working ok until this week, that I found some “ai asisted” conference apps mute you in-app when they detect your mic being muted for some time, and do not un-mute you afterwards
I hope this push to talk feature solves that
Turn the mic volume down to zero instead of muting the mic?
Not 0, but maybe 1% could work. However, my mic is an external one, when muted/unmuted an status led serves as a visual queue, which is quite helpful. Tinkering with %volume would disable this
Could try to create a virtual device that serves only to relay the microphone without getting muted itself
