Geek, Sys Admin, Cloud Architect, Opinionated. My first PC was a Commodore Vic 20, I have been using Linux since 1996, and on the net since it was called the ARPANET, but I am not as old as all of that would imply. I just started very young.

I am aware of the majority of the translations. fries/chips, cotton candy/ candy floss, apartment/flat, garbage/rubbish (unless it is an Irish band featuring Shirley Manson apparently), cookie/biscuit, parking lot/car park, pants/trousers, windshield/windscreen (if your glass is only screening the wind, you need to replace it), booger/boogey, dude/bloke, awesome/ace, shoot the breeze/chinwag (I'll give you yours is better), grunt/squaddie, lollygag/faff about, hood/bonnet

the word strimmer was the foreign one. We call that a trimmer, because it is used for trimming. I don't know what strumming is, never heard of it.

I don't understand enough of your British words to know what I am looking at on your workbench. Could you repeat that in American? The best I can guess is that is some kind of fuel metering device for gasoline that has a cable controlled value, but that is full based on looking at the picture.

good advice, but for all the wrong reasons. Not only can you just not use the AI, but there is nothing wrong with using a LLM as long as you have a good understanding of what it is and is not, how it works, what to expect, and how to use it properly. It's not magic, nor is it evil. Like any tool it requires practice to become proficient with, has a right way and wrong way to use it, and must be the right tool for the job if you expect good results.

the key bindings thing is a known issue with KDE. There is already a binding that conflicts. Remove that and it should work. If that is not it, there is another known issue when it will open once but not close or vice versa. Seems to be the same with both Tilda and Guake. If memory serves it is indeed a Wayland issue and last I looked it was being worked on. I'm not sure of the current status.

I always use oh-my-zsh, so don't know what it is like without it, but I'm pretty sure autocomplete is a o-m-z plug-in.

Matt, you can always count on my intelligence. It is not artificial.

Yes, when using a format defined by whitespace, it is actually important to get the spacing correct. It is still more readable than JSON that litters curly braces everywhere.

using Plex instead of Jellyfin is like using OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice, MySQL instead of MariaDB, ownCloud instead of Nextcloud, or CentOS Stream instead of AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. Sometimes a project shits itself and you have to move on to the community's rescued version.

is it as bad of a PC port as Zero Dawn was? Love the games on PlayStation, but I found Zero Dawn unplayable on my PC. Wasted good money on it.
