    • For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
    • In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.

    • alt-f2 to execute a command with history


  • Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

    But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

    Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

    I used to buy used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.

    The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping it yourself. Listen with plexamp on a phone connected via bluetooth, or just use plex client on your shield, roku, firestick, etc.

    Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.
