This might be a stupid question.

I cannot seem to figure out how to map a route between two addresses. It always shows the route from where I am currently, or to my location.

How does one find the route between two addresses without being in one of them?

I end up having to use google maps for this. I need to do this kind of route searches all the time.

Otherwise, I love the app. Thanks to all contributors foe the amazing work!

Edit: just have to start pressing "Route from", I'm not sure how I missed that, was sure I tried it. Anyways, thanks everyone!

Next up, I have to figure how to add a waypoint...

Hi all, esp. those familiar with the peculiar thing that is Arturia Keystep Pro.

It just seems to have a mind of it's own. I see many have weird issues with it (in the KeystepPros Reddit and elsewhere around the internet).

My most common issue is that it just enters what seem to be totally random keys, whenever I am recording a sequence. If I switch the rec button off, no problems, no extra keys played. When I record, all hell breaks loose and it wants to add seemingly random keys.

I always need to do like 4 extra takes and do the sequence bit by bit. Live entry of a sequence would be impossible.

Is this some weird feature I don't know about?

Writing this made me suspect two things: some weird poly overdub feature where old key presses come back from the dead? Or could it be the randomness knob? Or some weird auto chord mode that only works when in rec mode?

Or is it just buggy?

I suspect the last option...

Arturia, please fix it. It would be a wonderful instrument if it didn't have the bugs it has.

Or if they would open source the firmware so that people could fix it amd make ir even better.

You can source the plastic parts for the microKorg keyboard, with several keys attached in one, from the quite cheap and crappy Akai LPK25 (first edition). Found a broken one, opened it and found out.

The microKorg keys might not be the rarest replacement part in the world, but maybe this helps someone.

I'm not sure if the parts under the keys are compatible, and the Akai has less keys so that might complicate things as well.

The Akai LPK25 itself, it's really crappy, with only this tiny USB slot on it, which apparently comes off very easily. I found it amongst the trash.

There is an MkII version of the Akai and it looks similar enough but not sure if that still has the exact parts!

Image from Syntaur. Where they cost much more than a used or broken LPK25. But you gotta love Syntaur anyway.

A question about Linux blocks on streaming sites. Is there a way to go around them?

For example, Rakuten TV has some free movies that are viewable around here. I could watch them on Windows but after the Linux switch can no longer play them. The site specifically tells me that GNU/Linux is not supported.

I don't understand what the problem is to support Linux from a technical point of view.

Would some spoofed client header be enough here?

I am very confused by this update message I got from KDE Discover when updating my Fedora Linux.

Bitwarden wants new permissions:

Home folder access: Can read and write files in the following locations without asking for permission:

Below, it lists what look to be profile folders for chrome, edge, chromium, firefox and "mozilla".

In addition, it wants system folder access: some xdg-config paths for several browsers and the Downloads folder!

What is this?

I cannot find any explanation for this.

Going to uninstall anyways, no thanks.

Rather use the website then, until I setup my own VaultWarden, unless I figure out a good sync for KeePass.

Not sure if this is a GOS or Firefox issue.

Go to qwant.com, type something, backspace doesn't work. Same result with duckduckgo.

Using GrapheneOS, built-in keyboard, Firefox 150. Tried with and without ublock origin.

I think it has been a week or so since it started.

Anyone else got this issue?

Sorry if it's the wrong place to ask.

And thanks to the GOS devs, you have saved me from so many frustrations.

Edit: so far two people in comments seem to have similar problems so it's not just me.

Edit2: seems to only happen with some sites like qwant and ddg, and only with built-in GrapheneOS keyboard.

Curious if it happens on Android

Edit3: Duckduckgo now works, removed it from list

Hi all, first post here!

Just wanted to share this lesser known movie I found. It's a fun watch for Poirot fans, but otherwise, this is not really a recommendation. This is not a masterpiece by any means. Just a weird twist of the Agatha Christie story.

I had trouble sourcing it, but found a mediocre quality copy on Dailymotion. I think it could be legitimate since it has some short weird ad breaks with spoilers running in the background. But as I'm not sure if it's legit I'll skip linking to it.

Hi all, first time posting here.

Installed Fedora KDE Plasma half a year ago on a Thinkpad mostly used in the living room - for streaming / playing videos and minimal gaming. Having zero regrets. It is amazing how far we've come.

I have had very little issues with it, all being only slight annoyances. Nothing compared to win10 or needless to say the current abomination from Microslop... which doesn't want to run on this laptop anyway.

So, here is the first annoyance: when watching a video with VLC, fullscreen, sometimes Discover (the app store / updater thingy) will pop up full screen, says "refreshing..." or whatever, clearly wanting to inform me of some brand new updates.

Question is, how to make it not bother me when a video is being watched?

It is not a big deal, I just immediately close it, rewind a bit and that's it. But if there is some setting to tweak or some magic words to type, I am interested...

PS. I am so happy about this move to Linux. Thank you Microslop for pushing me over.

It seems to me that my IP has been blocked in some way by Codeberg.org.

I am getting Obtainium errors from yesterday, when it tries to update CoMaps from CodeBerg. Codeberg.org does not open in browser either, Firefox just says "cannot complete request". But using another internet connection I can open codeberg.org.

Maybe this might be due to update checks from Obtainium having flagged me as a bot? I'm just guessing at this point, though.

Does anyone else have this problem? Should I be doing things differently or using another source like F-droid?

EDIT:

Just as I sent this I found this page: https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg

It seems there is something going on so probably it's just some downtime thing and not related to my IP.

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it's suspected to be a major reservoir of hydrogen. A new study, published in Nature Communications, supports this idea with results suggesting the core contains up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen. These results also challenge the idea that most of Earth's water was delivered by comets early on.
