Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars,


various assassinations, the brink of nuclear apocalypse, an unpopular political war away from home that caused a social movement, and political espionage.

It's like we're cursed.

KDE Connect refuses to work


Hi, on fresh install (multiple) of Fedora 42 GNOME the KDE Connect app after install wont open.

Either it will stay running in processes but nothing will display or it will immediately crash with an error.

GSconnect doesn't even show up after install.

If I install Fedora 42 KDE it works fine. But I don't like KDE. Any idea what's up with this?

Is there any way on KDE, I can "click through" a partially transparent window to interact with the window behind it instead? [Solved but only for mpv]


cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/32779890

I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.

It turns out mpv already has this implemented. github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull…

Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it's possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I'll close this


And then I could remove the title bar if I really don't want to interact with the app.

What I do, is have a minimize keybind.

When I want to quickly do something with a window below the one on top, I hit that minimize keybind, do my thing, then alt-tab.

Unless I interacted with a third window, the one I minized comes right back.

Or are you looking for something more like picture in picture? A pinned window you never interact with, only look at?

Edit: what if you flip this the other way around?

Make the windows you want to be interacting with transparent, and keep them on top. You'll always see the window you want to see, through them.
