Aren’t the A and Q keys also at terrible positions?

On my Mint 22 Wilma setup using Xfce, using Firefox 139.0 (64-bit) mint-001 - 1.0, when I click the “upload image” button here in lemmy, I see small thumbnails for .jpg and .png files, but not for .webp.

Maybe the .webp format is too new?

Ctrl++ doesn’t work in my “File Upload” dialog box to make the thumbnails bigger.

Edit: I always rename files I download to give them descriptive file names, starting with the most important word first.

To disable it (for now):

1. at the top left tap the 3 horizontal lines,
2. near the bottom tap “Settings”,
3. tap your account,
4. scroll to the middle and unselect “Smart features”.
5. Consider moving over to a non-psychotic, non-fascist-supporting email provider, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuta_(email)

Anyone know how to get rid of the Gemini icons?

It may mean the user doesn’t think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers’ decision making ability.

If a distros’ makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn’t by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can’t as easily be changed like UI settings.

Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn’t work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page’s CSS).

The crust is minuscule compared to the core and mantle.

The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth’s total volume. The temperature varies from about 1 300 K (1 000°C, 1 832°F) near its boundary with the crust, to 4 000 K (3 700°C, 6 692°F) near its boundary with the core. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/mantle/

The temperature in the Earth’s core is uncertain: estimates at the inner core boundary range from 4 000 K to 8 000 K and at the core–mantle boundary from 3 000 to 4 500 K. https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfbdxa/pubblicazioni/nat.pdf

No they’re not - having a kid in an overpopulated world is 2 orders of magnitude worse in the USA.

• 2.4 tonnes of CO2e released per driver per year with the average fossil-fuel powered car.
• 1.2 tonnes of CO2e released for electric car users in most countries.
• 117.7 tonnes per kid per parent per year. Wynes et al. 2017

Human overpopulation is not only the biggest contributor to push us over climate-change tipping-points, it’s also the root cause of almost all other causes. It’s also the root cause of unsustainable habitat loss and pollution. It’s also the root cause of factory farming and industrial fishing, which causes more pain and suffering every year than all other atrocities ever committed in all of history combined.

“Enslave” is a bit harsh, considering there are about 38-50 million people who are currently slaves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_21st_century

We’re choosing to allow a lot of the things these companies are doing to us; but we could choose to walk away at the cost of some shiny things.
