I don't think there's a way to disable this in the official launcher. There are many launchers that look and feel pretty similar to the stock one though. I think Lawnchair is the best example. I wouldn't recommend Nova Launcher (https://lemmy.ca/post/19914345). You can also just get rid of all the Google bloatware altogether and install GrapheneOS.

Yeah for some reason lemmy just discards any formatting (including line breaks) when parsing website content. But I think that's because Lemmy has a very weird way of dealing with line breaks in general.
I know that, but it uses some weird Markdown implementation where new lines aren't actually new lines for some reason. GitHub Markdown doesn't have this issue.
Hey folks, I just got Bazzite OS KDE up and running on my PC. Being a Linux newbie, I'd love some tips, tricks, and app suggestions if you have any. 😅 Switching from Windows has been a bit of a maze with all the distros out there, so any pointers would be awesome!...
It was actually the other way around for me. First I learned about Linux, started watching DistroTube, then got YouTube recommendations for Mental Outlaw videos, got more advanced in Linux and then learned about digital privacy and security.
I just think that these new, fancy applications are more user-friendly, because they are often easier to use, are faster and often have things like colored output. Sure, the GNU coreutils are old and reliable, and can be found on almost every system, making them great for scripts, but for normal, interactive CLI usage I prefer the modern alternatives.
I also the normal Plasma panel, don't have any issues with it. They added quite a few Latte Dock features to the normal panel. Your desktop looks great btw!
I'm a long time Windows user who has experience with WSL. Last year, I needed a laptop for university, and out of laziness, opted for a Macbook since, although they're expensive as hell, are reasonably reliable....
Aurora has a Developer Edition, it's a great system in general. It's based on Universal Blue, which is built on top of Fedora Atomic, giving you a very stable and reliable experience. It features the KDE Plasma desktop environment, but you can go with Bluefin, which is basically the exact same thing using GNOME.
They also make obtaining games for a reasonable price impossible, so hacking the switch is kinda necessary. And they make playing games with reasonable frame rates impossible, so emulating the Switch on a powerful PC is reasonable.
Really? We switched away from Reddit because it started forcing everyone to use their crappy, proprietary, ad-infested app, and now we use proprietary, ad-infested Lemmy apps?
Damn, that's another thing about Firefox that absolutely drives me crazy. They implement some feature as an extension, then they include it with the browser by default and just leave the extension there for some reason. It's the exact same thing with Firefox translations, it's integrated into the browser now but they still have an extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/
Oh yeah I know about tldr. It's pretty great. I actually use a Rust version of it called teeldeer. I also have a whole lot of "disputable" aliases, for example rtfm for tldr and rtfmp (read the fucking man page) for man. I also use fucking for sudo. There's nothing better than running pacman -Syu, realizing the mistake and then typing in fucking pacman -Syu
I stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing. I have used every one of these ROMs except /e/ and they are all good projects in their own right.
Regarding the camera: Yes, you lost some quality with the default GrapheneOS camera app. But you can easily install the official Google camera app from the Play store (or anonymously through Aurora) to get full quality. You don't even need Google play services installed for that to work, and you can revoke it's network access, so it's completely offline and private. I use the Google camera app all the time, it works flawlessly.
Weird. I never had a single issue with the fingerprint sensor on the 6a, it literally works every time. It's just a little slow, it could maybe be a little bit faster. But you know what's a bad fingerprint sensor? Touch ID on older iPhones. That shit is terrible, never works for me.
