Kate supports multi-cursor editing and custom hotkeys. Boost your productivity with the help of multi-cursor and multi-selection features. Kate now has it!
Switching from other proprietary text editors and missing your hotkey bindings that you are accustomed to? You can configure every hotkey in Kate so you do not have to change your workflow.
Oh! So this is how you use multi-cursor editing. I've seen this in other software but I can't imagine a scenario where I'll use it. The only thing I can imagine was using two keyboards and two people are typing at the same time, hence multiple cursors.
Possibly it's an urban myth that the most common public holiday worldwide is "Independence from Britain Day", but delighted there's a new account to help us find out.
To add, #Fediverse devs should agree and make a stand not to implement any mainline Mastodon-only "feature" related to quote post.
If mainline Mastodon instances and users complain about it, they can just rely on "fediblock" and use this reason: "refused to implement Mastodon-only quote post feature". Sure it will fragment the Fediverse network, but why not? People and the media keeps calling it the "Mastodon network" anyway.
Users who prefer the Fediverse network over the mainline Mastodon network can migrate over to friendlier and sane instances. 😉

It is similar here in the #Philippines. You don't say, “When I was your age…”, if you want to share information about your time, you say, “Back in my day…”
In English, it doesn't make any sense. However, the local language equivalent of those two phrases comes with it:
Language nuances; and
Cultural factors.
Why?
“When I was your age…” in our local languages:
Language nuances = the delivery is different; the tone; the speech; and
Cultural factors = often used to demean, look down upon, another person (the younger in this case). It implies that, “I am/We are better than you”.
However, “Back in my day…” in our local languages:
Language nuances = the delivery, tone, speech, is different, it is friendlier and open for discussion/sharing; and
2 Cultural factors = not used to look down on anyone.
In the English language, these two phrases are the same, neutral, and thus won't make sense. But not in many Asian languages and cultures.
In addition, while both Filipino and Korean cultures have a deeply embedded respect levels in languages and actions, there is no room for older people to abuse it. We won't show it to you, because again, deeply embedded respect culture. But you can guarantee we're talking behind your back, and in today's world, chatrooms.
Back in my day, in the 80s and 90s, we say, “talk to the hand” and the equivalent action is stretching our arms, showing our palms forward to your face.
Obviously, we don't do that to people older than us. We do it while we're talking about you with our friends.
Today, in the present, at least here in the Philippines, we say, “Whateva'”, with a hand gesture and facial expression. Of course, we do it behind your back, or in chatrooms.
If you're a foreigner learning an Asian language, well, like in any other country, you'll be given a free pass. But, you better learn fast, you never know when you'll be misunderstood (unless you really want to be rude).
(There are actually more nuances in Filipino languages than Korean, for this particular case. And there is a worse way, too!)
Re: K-drama “Vagabond” Season 02 to film in the Philippines.
There appears to be much confusion about this, with most calling it a “rumour”.
A “rumour” is something that is being talked about in whisper, usually without any “notable” source. However, in this particular case, a lot of Philippine news media outlets reported this revelation from a former politician and businessman, Chavit Singson, who claims to be a co-producer.
Philippine news media are members of various legal journalism organisations. If you trust your own local media if they are members of a legal journalism organisation, then I think Philippine media should be accorded the same respect. No one is saying they have not, nor will not, make a mistake. But, at least, give them some credit, no matter what our personal feelings and thoughts about them in other matters (like in politics).
Anyway, instead of calling it a “rumour”, it is more fitting to call it “unconfirmed” or “leak”. I think the latter 99% fits. Why?
Chavit Singson talked to the media about it. He “revealed” it himself, and he claimed he is the co-producer. He also revealed that the writers of Vagabond Season 02 visited the Philippines in 2023, looking for filming locations.
Since he was the first to break this news, then it is a “leak” rather than a “rumour”. Regardless of my personal feelings and thoughts about the man, I doubt he'll risk his political and business reputation for a K-drama. I mean, if you are going to put your reputation on the line, would you do it for a TV show or for something bigger and more significant?
Also, think about it this way:
If Chavit Singson was lying about it, then he will be roasted alive by mass media. From notable media outfits to social media. We all know what happens if one lies to, and use, the media.
If he was not lying about it, but the project doesn't push through because of his early revelation (or “leak”), then the fans will roast him instead. Still, we cannot fault him for that other than “being too excited” about it. The ultimate decision lies with the production team, and the actors, producers can only do so much.
Him as a businessman, I think it was a calculated move to “leak” it at this time. They probably have reached a MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) already, thus, he is confident it will push through. Leaking it may increase support for it, especially in Korea, where the ultimate decision lies. Imagine if it doesn't push through, Chavit Singson can explain that the powers-that-be in Korea decided against it. So, yeah, strategic leak; or strategic early announcement.
Obviously, the production team cannot leak anything, and it is better for them to have a plausible deniability about any leaks or agreements. They want to film in the Philippines, they got support from Chavit Singson, now they just have to convince the powers-that-be in Korea. Hence, the “leak”, not a “rumour”. Get everyone to talk about it, and use it to convince the powers-that-be in Korea to green lit the project and to film in the Philippines.
Recently, I was looking for a simple #X11#emoji#keyboard ... and found surprisingly little. A pretty hacky one relying on calling external tools, several only working with specific GUI toolkits (like #gtk, #qt, ...) and weird stuff implemented in javascript 😖 ...
So I did a bit of research regarding feasibility of writing such a tool myself. Well, on the bright side, it's perfectly possible to have an X11 window that never takes focus and still accepts mouse events, so a "virtual keyboard" can certainly be done. It starts to get messy when trying to synthesize input events for whatever window that currently has focus. It seems all you can do is create "keyboard" events with key codes in an 8bit range, so the "hack" is to temporarily fiddle with the keyboard mapping. Seriously 🤯?
Anyone knows a better way to "inject" #Unicode input with X11?
Might attract wayland zealots, let's address this: X11 has lots of problems, that doesn't automatically make wayland the solution.
What to do if someone collapsed due to heat exhaustion/heat wave/heat stoke?
(This is NOT a medical, nor first aid, advice. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)
If you know they collapsed because of heat, then any liquid is a must. The objective in the current situation is to replenish their water and cool down their body.
In a doctor talk show years ago, a caller asked, "What if the patient have certain liquid restrictions?"
The doctors agreed that in such an emergency, what is important is for the patient to survive, and in such a case, it is liquid and cooling them down. The side-effects can be addressed once they are out of danger. They also even suggested a worst-case scenario wherein only dirty water is available, in that case, use it. The hospital will take care of the rest.
The point being made was that, the patient will likely die if their liquid is not replenished and their body isn't cooled down. Replenishing the body's liquid is the first step in cooling down the body; moving the patient under a shade helps the outside of the body, but the internal cooling down is the critical part, that's where the patient is struggling.
It becomes very delicate for those with conditions like diabetes. In a scenario where only soda/softdrink is available, would it be safe to give it to the patient as first aid? More likely not, especially if their diabetes is really not good, and it becomes a big decision if you know, or were informed, the patient is diabetic.
This is why we should always bring water with us. Buy one or two. It will not only save your life, it can save the life of others too. You never know when the water you're carrying will be needed to save someone else's life.
And of course, you don't want to be the patient of a heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
(This is NOT a medical, nor first aid, advice. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)
A fair and important point. The drafters of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment understood why you needed to keep dangerous insurrectionists off the ballot in the first place.
I have published on Github procedure for #Qt 6 cross-compilation using #Mobian for #PinePhone.
I have also written a #Qt6 cross-compilation procedure for #pinephonepro
However, I have not tried it as I do not have it.
If anyone tries with #PinePhonePro, please report back.
