More than 400 RCMP members accused of misconduct
More than 400 members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were accused of misconduct in 2024, leading to at least 20 dismissals and resignations.
According to the RCMP, it logged 443 cases of alleged misconduct in 2024 involving 408 employees. Nearly one quarter of these cases resulted in “serious” disciplinary measures, such as being declared ineligible for promotion or being forced to forfeit more than 80 hours of pay. Ten RCMP employees were also demoted to a lower rank or level, which was more than double the number of demotions made over the previous two years.
Five per cent of the misconduct cases, or approximately 22, resulted in termination or direction to resign, which was the most severe consequence. Over 70 per cent of cases led to remedial or corrective measures such as special training, close supervision or deferred promotions.
The misconduct cases were revealed in the RCMP’s Report on the Management of the RCMP Conduct Process, which was quietly released on Jan. 21. The report from Canada’s federal police force covers the 2024 calendar year.

Well, it's progress. We used to promote them and put them in charge of standards and training.

Honestly, this could be a good thing. It may look like more misconduct is happening, but it also could be the same amount as always. Only now it's coming to light and being dealt with.
ACAB, but maybe, just maybe, there's a little bit of light on the horizon?
My grandpa could atest to that tho I'm also sure he got up to funny buisness as well from his demeaner regarding the work.

There's only 408 of em? No? These are rookie numbers then.
Tip of the iceberg. Most victims never file against police.

Basically, Epstein was the manager of Putin's wealth.
justice.gov/epstein/files/Data…
cyberdaily.au/security/13164-j…
techcrunch.com/2026/01/30/info…
Epstein had some connection to REDACTED from MIT Media Lab and I think that’s Joi Ito.
Epstein tried repeatedly to set up a meeting to sell Putin on the idea of bitcoin in 2014.
That particular meeting fell apart, because Epstein realized it would look terrible to visit Putin so soon after the shootdown of MH17. But I wouldn't be shocked if they did successfully meet sometime later.
Some people have joked that the only practical use case for bitcoin is to make financial crimes much easier. But what if that's not a bug, but a feature? Perhaps the whole objective of bitcoin's invention was to make financial crimes easier for Putin and the Russian mob.
Ito introduced Epstein to Jeremy Rubin (core bitcoin dev), which turned into Epstein directly funding Rubin. Search for "Jeremy Rubin" in the files and you'll find checks to him, docs about the formation of "Deploy Capital LLC", potentially backed with Peter Thiel who was trying to invest in Level One and Bitmain. Iozzo was involved in that stuff too: justice.gov/epstein/files/Data…
So if that's all true, is bitcoin just a bunch of Putin's money? Nothing here is conclusive, but it isn't so far fetched anymore, either.
But suddenly, this bizzare email exchange makes some sense. Epstein and Ito were panicking about the feds tracking down Putin's wealth, because they knew following the money would lead right back to them.
Also, now we might know where Epstein got his mystery billions! Because they weren't his billions, they were Putin's.

Files aren't fully released yet, this post is premature.
Yep, the worst documents are yet to come.
Yeah but everyone in the files are no surprise. Linus would definitely be surprising. You can probably picture everyone that is in the files and you will probably be correct.
Yeah it sucks. Don't know if you are still in the field but I guess best reaction to this would be to set a better example in your corner of the world. Take what is good leave what is shitty and make sure to inform people who don't know.
Would like to see Linus rip a new hole on these assholes in some mailing list.
Don't know about bitcoin but Epstein sure seems like someone's project and Trump is one of the fruits of that project. When Epstein became a liability to the project (i.e him giving names would destroy all the leverage the project owner has), he was conveniently suicided.

There were also single contact people that can be explained by Epstein operating a honeypot. If he couldn't work with you, he would get blackmail on you. And then you get scenes like this in The Simpsons after Matt Groening's name appeared on the flight list.

I don't think there's any reason to find a replacement for Epstein. There's almost certainly other people already running those sorts of events. Jared Leto has a sex cult island. I think they're all consenting adults, but you know he's trading favors to producers that want to visit so he can keep getting movie roles.

You would in fact be severely limited if you only used products made entirely by people who are ‘perfect’ in every way.
Who is talking about people that are perfect in every way? Do you think that people believe that Linus Torvalds is perfect? He is not. We don't need people to be 'perfect', but not being part of a child molesting ring is good start.
This was my first outloud-laugh of the day. I love it.
Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it's artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!
To be real for a second; I'm sure it's a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄
To be fair, the UI Control Panel of Windows has become more and more fragmented. Windows 11 is slowly transitioning different settings into the Settings App. It's going slow and I have no idea if Microsoft will ever finish the job. When Windows 11 was first released, Settings had so many shortcuts to Control Panel elements that it was totally useless. My thoughts (hope) are that Windows 11 is what Windows Vista was - a transition that would be a bloody mess - and at some point Windows 12 will come and people will like it because they reintroduce elements that people miss and fix some of these inconsistencies.
But how things are run, it will probably be filled with even more reasons to ditch Windows.
I'm way further left now, but I still recommend Manufacturing Consent as an essential reading, as it opened my eyes to how the rich controlled media shapes narratives and enables genocides and destructive imperial wars and regime changes. It's just hard to recommend it now with his name attached.
Just as the fact that sex with underage is considered a rape.
Qanon was correct in the same way your conspiracy theorist uncle was right about MKULTRA. There's a quick summary that can give a pretty big overlap of them and reality, but that's not why these people believe this, and the more details, context, or scope you add the less they align.
Qanon is an intellectual descendant of the satanic panic, and the framing it uses is very much in that line of thinking. It's framing it as political enemies raping young children as part of a dark ritual that involves blood libel.
The Epstein situation in contrast is that the rich, powerful, and influential run in overlapping social circles and within them there are people whose role is to facilitate connections (Peter Thiel actually facilitates a similar role). These people may also facilitate other connections like drugs (there's so much drugs in the Epstein stories) and pimping. The pimping for the elite, at least by one of these people, also seemed to disproportionately traffic adolescents and many of the rich, powerful, and influential clients, friends, and connections of this man seemed to either partake in his underage victims or knowingly look the other way in order to maintain these beneficial connections.
Both of these are very bad things involving the rich and powerful engaging in pedophilia, but the former is utterly fantastical and originates in a panic with no evidence and itself lacks evidence, while the latter is a realistic situation that has a lot of evidence for it
Raping children is what you call 'not perfect'?
No, simply no — try that comment again only do it without defending child rapists.
As much as people fucking hate when this line gets rolled out and for good reason.
There's a reason chronophilia is a term. Infantophilia, pedophilia, hebephilia, ephebophilia, teleiopholia, mesophilia and gerontophilia. Are all different things.
Actually properly respecting, and using correct terminology can and should be a thing as it prevents unreasonable harm in instances where things are perfectly fine.
For example a 18 year old ephebophile. That's fucking normal, even tho in the eyes of the law it's punished as a sex crime. A 18 year old and a 17 year old with a 6 month gap gets fucked because we don't actually take into account logic when it comes to this topic.
So that 18 year old is now a "pedophile" a term with horrid implications and life defining punishments legally and socially just because we all refuse to actually educate ourselves of the terminology and actual research on the topic.
Because the word pedo has such a huge social negative (for good reason) that we basically just all collectively go stupid as fuck and go straight to the worse punishment we can with out ever considering logic.
It also makes further research into the topic absurdly hard to do and secure funding for. Because of the massive social problems with attaching your name to such research.
Cause even researching it can result in you being attacked. There's been a number of instances iv seen where research on the topic dead ends because no one is willing to actually attach their name to the subject. Or when something gets published it gets dragged through the mud because it's a easy headline.
So we never actually find healthy and effective methods to deal with the problem. We just attack, mislabel, don't think and cause more harm by not actually trying to deal with it. Because the problem is "icky".
Exactly, also people tend to tolerate what their peers consider normal. We're basically always checking reality off of how those in our circle react to things. This means that if your circle assumes old men always want to sleep with 18-20 year old women, and they do so regularly, then if suddenly a 17 year old girl shows up in the mix and nobody reacts it can be easily rationalized. And from there you can slip to a lot of 16 year olds. And while new people may not be comfortable with it, they likely have financial incentives not to walk away or cause a scene, because he wasn't just a pimp, he was also a matchmaker, then in that case the rationalization engine that is the human brain can go to town.
It's quite interesting. My great grandmother apparently used to talk about the Roman Catholics abusing children and mothers in the Magdalene Laundries and people saw her as a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Squid Game in a way is also a story about the rich elite participating in sickening immoral activities
That's the thing, some conspiracy theories are going to be true, most aren't, and some will bear a passing resemblance to the truth.
The main tool at our disposal here is skepticism. Are the claims being made plausible? Are the motivations realistic? Is there evidence from reputable sources? Am I approaching this with a critical mindset? Am I focused on the explicit claims, or am I allowing people to "yes and" this? Am I letting my emotions or preconceived biases and prejudices cloud my judgment?
Sorry but by the article linked above, he whatabouts rape of teenagers with "but they were not children". He may have done a lot of good for free software, but this is not a single poorly worded comment - these kinds of statements can be found by the dozen. And that means he is mentally unwell / mentally damaged to consider them acceptable.
I'm kinda surprised that him proposing that the US should throw Ukraine to the wolves (Russia) didn't completely tank his career. In hindsight, for the past 20 years he's kinda just turned into a tankie (or at least tankie-adjacent) due the the US's misdeeds in Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
While the US has done wrong, that doesn't automatically make its adversaries right.

5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
Gig workers and 2-2-3/7-7 shifters that are often forced to work on the off-days:
people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18
It's mostly "people younger than 16 should not have sex with people 18 or older", because legal age does not match age of consent. Even then, there are some regions that tend to disagree, most notably China, Central Europe and South American countries that put the lower bound to as low as 14. But it still leaves 18-year olds to be open for grooming by perverts of any age. And that, according to DHS, 8% of women had sex with somebody before reaching the age of 14, 41% had it before age of 16, and 67% before 18, putting any such "dogma" into further questioning.
Disclaimer: Not proposing anything here, just pointing that answers to those questions are far from being settled upon.
Our previous president son is on the files. There was a news article where he explained that Epstein had contacted him for fundraising or some other legal thing and they met somewhere once for a short while but that's all. There was also other finns, like one young woman who applied for an assistant job on some of his businesses but didn't get hired.
So, while there's a crapload of people who should be convicted and thrown in a jail there's also a ton of people who don't have anything to do with pedo-ring or anything else. Good to keep in mind that having someones name on the files alone doesn't mean too much.
And just to avoid any confusion, if you are mentioned in the files more than Jesus is mentioned on the bible it's not an accident or one time thing. Allegedly that applies at least to Trump and there should be a small and dark cell somewhere ready.

We aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave
I get this, in my own house. We need speakeasy for linux.
Windows 11, but 10 was pretty good too. Honestly I really enjoyed windows 8. My favorite is 98se.
Gnome. On windows, I think getting things done is easier. Setup is easier(being well supported by vendors). No need to hunt down for cryptic dependencies or commands just to get sound or graphics running right. No compatibility issues with windows.
Well, I never said windows was perfect...just the better / faster solution of the two options to get things done.
In my experience consistency is not Linux strong suite. Especially when getting things done, you need to be comfortable with archaic commands.
I already had like a thousand reasons before that, so...
I think the user experience on windows is way better than linux. It's not perfect, but linux is even farther from where windows is currently.
none of the above...try again...it's okay, take your time.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.
I'm a long time Linux user and cannot get everything on my laptop to work (just the built in microphone, but still).
If I recall he was more hung up on the consent part, because he was probably a black and white logic thinker. If Teen consent, therefore OK. I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it, after people argued that a teen saying yes is not consent because they can't legally consent.
Lol now I get the joke.
Epstein's "day job" was being a socialite. He was the guy who knew everybody. If you wanted an introduction, he could do it. He was the guy who made sure that the riff raff stayed out, even if they were rich.
I'm pretty sure that everybody knew he was always around "young women", but I strongly suspect that most of the people he interacted with didn't know about the child sex abuse. They were there for his "rolodex".
But, the end result is that because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power. My guess is that at least half the people he had in his network were not into child sex abuse, and didn't know that he was involved in that. But, I have only the world's tiniest violin to play for those people. I think they're guillotine-worthy because of their abuses of power, and how they hoarded obscene amounts of wealth. For far too long, the ultra rich have had a good public image in the US. People should have been furious with them just for hoarding all that wealth. And, the Epstein folks are the ones who not only hoarded the wealth, but spent it to gain power, which they used to warp society to benefit themselves. So, now everybody's disgusted with them and hates them, it's for the wrong reasons, but at least they're hated.
Only because Google is evil
I want to argue that there was no reason to recommend him before. Nothing will change my mind that Manufacturing Consent (1988) was written to distract from Inventing Reality (1986). Only one of those books has a dedicated Wikipedia page, and it's not the one written by the communist.
He's also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn't even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that's just the normal rate of accumulation when you don't just sell out or steal the work of others.
Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I'd argue your wrong.
Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I've been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.
Don't know what his deal is and why he acted as such but the page is still there as is and it helped inform likely hundereds of thousands of people. Don't know if he had a change of heart but he created something larger than himself so that is fine. Just telling this so that people don't misdirect their anger against wikipedia.
This proves all billionaires are evil, abhorrent scum.
Sure, but that doesn't change the situation
In your very limited experience it seems...
And he IS fine. What a handsome guy!
I only read the linked summary, and I was referring to a quote where he explicitly referenced rape in a civil war scenario, that's not a word I made up for something consensual with a teenager.
Do you happen to use ReiserFS?
Epstein's "day job" was being a socialite.
...
because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power.
Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.
Weird, Linux always worked for me on pretty much any computer I ever threw it on, apart from a issue on an old (pre nvidia-open) Asus ROG laptop where it would kernel panic sometimes when resuming from sleep when using nvdia and video going black after screen going to sleep when using the Trident driver on historical pentium 3 era machines.
Overall for the great majority of laptops linux works perfectly fine out of the box. When in doubt buy Thinkpads, those are warrantied to work well, any if there's a quirk it will be properly documented together with it's fix.
I do kinda agree. That's everyones first impression when I talk about it. So you want bigger jpeg?
Just call it jxl I think.
Support is improving, and we can improve support by showing our support for it.
Posting a jxl image here would mean that most people won't see it.
I do use jxl for everything in my private.

I wonder how this is calculated. A lot of places do not give overtime compensation. Maybe Europe is good, I read they have good labor laws.
it might just be me but he lowkey looks hot
Epstein was likely embedded into this system as a black mailing agent by someone who already knows it.
The ICE part seems a bit extreme though. I think the whole reason ICE is allowed to act like this is to terrorise immigrants, ethnic minorities etc so they leave the US in their own accord. And what easier way to terrorise people than to stalk their kids like a bunch of pedos.

I think people still could have still realised that if you get into a social circle involving many billionaires, you are getting into a shitty circle. This guy sort of tried to act as saint patron of science by handing out influential scientists favours. I think that was just PR and may have probably delayed his actual demise (i.e "a guy loved by many famous scientists and artists around the world, surely he can't be bad"). Granted definitely not as bad as going to a place where you know there is sex trafficking. But still this looks like people not being able to contain themselves when someone promises to make them a member of an exclusice elite boy's club.
Lenovo Legion absolutely self destroyed the first time I installed Linux. Graphic driver crashed all the time, touchapd was dead and the speaker were not working (and some other minor issues). I tried some fix but I was really investing a lot of time into it and, while fun, I had work to be done. I'll be happy to give it another try soon tho, maybe I'll dual boot with Windows

Awesome package! Still figuring out what it does though 🤔

That may be your personal opinion, but I think you will find A LOT of people who will disagree with you!
Nowhere in marxism does it say murder x group of people. But in a lot of capitalist ideologies like nazism or zionism it is the norm.
It doesn't have to say to do it when it just consistently happens. It's what we call the quiet part. Sometimes the quiet part gets said out loud but not always. We do get little peeks here and there even when people aren't being mass murdered. Like when anti marxists get murdered and their deaths are widely celebrated amongst marxists.
When you realize Harry Potter was released 25 years ago.
You also say the quiet part for capitalisms deaths? Or do just go with the flow.
Millions of people die from hunger, not because we can't feed them, just because its not profitable to do so. Same with vaccines, no profit from saving people so let them die. Its the most selfish system. At least the communists didn't starve people on purpose.

My family's early 1900s experience with Russia did involve that. I'm no lover of capitalism either but most starvation happens for political reasons not supply. Evil people in power don't care regardless of the economic system.
...and that's okay....nothing wrong with that. Heck I still piddle around with OS/2. LOL.
"most' is not going to work for me...I need 'will work.'
yes, but I can navigate the dark patterns without searching through the dark corners of the odd site for that command for linux.
...but we haven't even kissed yet, so how would you know, right?
Well now that's a very intellectual response. Reddit wants you back.
Glad we understand each other.
...and to think, we didn't even have to date, get married, have kids, get divorced, right?
Obvious troll is obvious
I mean.. I'm not sure what you thought we've been doing, all this time together, but the kids are going to be devastated.
I agree that evil people regardless of ideologies are the reason. But then why would marxism with its goal of equality be the sole cause for death.
Cuba is a good example, trump openly said he wants the people of cuba to starve through his sanctions on oil. Is the socialist leadership to blame or the aggresor?

Former PMs Harper, Chretien discuss nationalism, defence in sit-down conversation
Former prime ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chretien sat down for a fireside chat in Ottawa to discuss the topic of “Canada and the World,” moderated by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).
Ahead of the conversation, Harper received an RCGS Gold Medal at a ceremony in Ottawa, in recognition of his “distinguished career in public service,” according to the organization.
Harper on nationalism
“We are living in an age of nationalism,” Harper says, adding that Canada has no reason to not being nationalist. “We have a lot to be proud of.”

Fucker, harper you're one of the reasons project 2025 came to be. Get fucked traitor
When he was talking about Policy and judging how it's going to look years later, and remembering his policy of muzzling scientists, he earned my bombastic side-eye.
Fucknut chair of the IDU is a fascist through and through.
What about merging the Reform Party with the Cons?
Campaigning on banning gay marriage?
The weekly scandals while in office?
I know Harper still fools the average Joe but fuck that slimy traitor, the IDU, and leave my fucking pension alone.
It really feels like Harper never completely stepped down from power.
He didn't. He's in charge of an organization pushing conservative values globally. He's involved directly or indirectly in everything that's happening.
It's all coordinated.

Yes, he's the chairman of IDU.

Firefox's AI Kill Switch Lands in Firefox Nightly, Slated for Firefox 148
Mozilla finally landed today the long-anticipated AI Kill Switch controls for Firefox, which let users strip the open-source web browser of any AI-powered features, and you can test it right now in Firefox Nightly.In December 2025, when Mozilla appointed its new CEO, the company developing the popular Firefox web browser revealed that it was working on an AI kill switch that would let users completely disable all the AI features that had been included in the past few releases, estranging more and more loyal users.
Now, the AI kill switch is finally a reality as it landed today with the latest Firefox Nightly update. The implementation is called “AI Controls” and can be found in Firefox’s settings as a standalone section. From there, users can toggle a setting called “Block AI Enhancements” to remove any AI features.

A 'Terrifying Line Is Being Crossed,' Warns Minneapolis Mayor as More ICE Horror Stories Emerge | Common Dreams
Jan. 31, 2026
According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.

I want a more efficient public sector, just cutting top line costs with no regard does not make it more efficient.
Banning Microsoft laggardly software would be one thing. They've built a walled garden and they want you to use it, and that's at the expense of better tools that do get the job done faster/easier/better. Eliminating make-work jobs would be good. Dumping seniority rules in the union would be good.
And you know what else: hire a full time per-department dedicated digital service. No, centralized isn't good enough. No, contracts aren't good enough.
Software is not a business. It is a strategy and a requirement. Our government needs to grow up and act like it, but it's infested with tech-illiterate boomers. Stop the endless rounds of dependency gathering to try to get one solution that does it all with one mega contract, and endless red-tape legal barriers that make it impossible for non-US mega-corp contractors to get contracts.
A dedicated digital service would always meet requirements because they would be involved in them. It must be embedded inside departments for continuous feedback and iteration, no other model works, ever. It needs to pay competitively, and acknowledge the fact that there are thousands of tech workers like me would never meet the insane public sector hoops, or deal with the low pay scale, or the large amounts of bureaucracy.
Last year I actually looked into how I could help either the government or the armed forces, and basically, I am not "qualified" for any of their listings, despite over a decade of experience and delivering hundreds of projects.
It's asinine.
I agree with this comment on unions AND contractors (though not all). I think the problem is when service becomes a game or grift and not actually being efficient.
City of Toronto was one of the worst performing unions in most sectors and stank of corruption and over employment, and then on the other side you have MetroLinx which has been one of the biggest wastes of money a government has ever seen.
Then on the flip side you have Parks Canada and the National Archives doing amazing work with limited budgets.
I know with Toronto the culture came from the top, but these days I think contract farming and middle management bloat is what is really killing efficiency.
Also let the damn people work from home.

Can KDE Tile Windows Like PopOS?
I've been using Linux for a over a decade, but haven't used anything Gnomey in a while. I gave PopOS another try the other day because I needed a simple distro to put on a home PC for my partner to use. This is the most usable Gnome distro I have ever found!
I won't be switching myself anytime soon, but I really like the way the tiles on Cosmic expand to always keep the screen full. I know KDE can tile using shortcuts, but have ant of you come across something on KDE that autoresizes the tiles like Pop does?

If I you're using the 24.04 version you're not using gnome, you're using COSMIC. It is much smoother than the gnome-based DE was.
Oversimplification. COSMIC lacks like 95% of what GNOME has that is important for regular users, like the vast extension ecosystem, GSConnect or remote RDP login as simple examples.
This entry was edited (3 weeks ago)
Just to clarify: the "much smoother" is subjective and might be an oversimplification, but the "not using Gnome" part is correct.
Personally I don't use any Gnome extensions and have much preferred Cosmic to the old Pop Shell. YMMV.
Cosmic runs its own window manager called cosmic-comp, whereas Gnome uses Mutter. The tiling is baked into the Cosmic window manager, whereas you'd need to use an extension to get the same functionality on Gnome.
Glad to hear you're liking it, though! While I currently use Gnome with the PaperWM extension, Mutter is frustratingly behind on some current WM improvements (without good reason, IMO).
If you enjoy the tiling aspects, check out similar projects like Niri, as their window management shares some of the same codebase! Lots of neat projects out there, these days.
This is not about GNOME...
Interesting that you are using PaperWM but recommending Niri.
It's in my plan to switch, actually. The only reason I haven't is because I need to make sure I know how to use certain Pipewire inputs with the window manager. I've seen that it does work, but I need to know how to do it myself before I make the switch.
By “shares some of the same codebae”, I assume that you mean both COSMIC and Niri use the Smithay Wayland support library? Or that both Niri and GNOME use xdg-desktop-portal-gnome?
Not familiar with PopOS Tiling, but my goto tiling for KDE is Krohnkite It can be installed inside of KDE via Settings / Kwin Scripts / "Get new..." It has lots of keyboard shortcut and of course you can change them.
GitHub - esjeon/krohnkite: A dynamic tiling extension for KWin
A dynamic tiling extension for KWin. Contribute to esjeon/krohnkite development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
How do you change the keyboard shortcuts in Krohnkite?
I've never used it but since it's basically a kwin script I'd bet you can change them in system settings, like in system settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> look up for krohnite
E: Or maybe, just maybe, in its entry in the Kwin scripts section - System settings -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> Kwin scripts -> Krohnite -> Click or tap the cog button -> maybe there should be something related to keyboard shortcuts
This entry was edited (3 weeks ago)
It is the first one, yes. Just the normal keyboard shortcut settings. And all the Krohnkite shortcuts are prefixed with "Krohnkite", so you can find them easily.
No, the Krohkite addon doesn't have a configuration window to change shortcuts in the Kwin scripts section. And there is no need for anyway, as all shortcuts are in a central place of KDE shortcuts.
You change the shortcuts in the Plasma shortcuts window. Just type in the KDE shortcuts search bar "krohkite" to show matching entries only.
The one you linked is only for KDE Plasma 5. For Plasma 6, you would use this fork: codeberg.org/anametologin/Kroh…
Also available through KDE Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts > [Get New...] . Installing it through this method should automatically update whenever its updated.
Yeah, and you don't have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.
(I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it's not necessary anymore...)
Well, PopOS is a distribution, based on Ubuntu, shipping a desktop. That desktop was formerly a customized GNOME, now they have their completely own desktop environment.
The tiling might be similar between both but their GNOME extension is probably deprecated now.
Cosmic has dynamic tiling, while KDE has many manual tiling features which may be less efficient but require nearly no setup.
Used to be that KDE would let you run other window managers than the default kwin. If that capability still exists, you might just be able to borrow Cosmic's WM and implant it in your KDE session.
I believe, that's something which became impossible with Wayland?
But it wasn't very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.
This entry was edited (3 weeks ago)
BTW back in KDE 5 I did that, used an alternative tiling window manager (I think it was i3wm) instead KWin. It worked, but it had its own set of problems. Not sure if it is still possible, but based on my prior experience I wouldn't recommend it anyway. Instead the tiling script / addon Krohkite should be used, as people recommend. I use it myself (and I am a tiling window manager guy) and it works well, as it is well integrated and smooth experience in KDE.
KDE has native tiling built in. Simply press the (default) hotkey Win+T to set up your tiling zones, and then hold shift while moving a window and it'll snap into that area.
That's manual tiling with the mouse. It's not the same as auto tiling like PopOS does.
This is a cool tip. Not the autoexpanding tiling that Pop has, but still very useful. I wish I had had this on my work computer.
Yes, Krohnkite on KDE auto-resizes window tiles and keeps the screen full. It's a default setting (monocular view) but can also be turned off.
To use krohnkite you can add it from within KDE - go to Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts. Then top right select "Get New..." and type K in the search box and it'll be one of the top options.
It works well but you may need to log out and and back in after enabling it to see some of the changes. Also you will probably want to change other KDE panels and layouts to fit how you want to use the desktop in a tiling set up (and there are plenty of widgets available and window animations to add - like Geometry - if you want to a specific tiling set up and look).
KDE is incredibly customisable, but for tiling it may take a little work to get it exactly where you want it. Also worth backing up your settings folders once you've got it how you want it (Konsave for example, or manually)
Thanks for the primer on KDE tiling. It's been a while since I tried, but this will give me a better starting point!
