Modal dialogs. Making it impossible to move the window or reference something else in the same interface.

Toasts on android. No idea where the toasts came from and no way to look up what the toast said after it disappears.

Historical reasons I believe and also because packages are signed. Though there’s been a few vulnerabilities that have made TLS (IMHO) a necessity. As well as just preventing snooping. Modern debian and apt should support TLS out of the box now.

Unlikely to be the problem, but I’d switch the config to use https URLs.

If you use a package that depends on pyside2, then you might be stuck. You could try building pyside2 with a modified PKGBUILD. This seems like a bug/difference in behavior with paru: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru/issues/1377

If you’re adventurous, you could use another package management tool. Not familiar with garuda though.

Or maybe wait until paru developers possibly change their tool, or the AUR package happens to change to work around paru behavior?

Seems like there’s an issue with pyside2 and paru: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pyside2

If you don’t need it, remove pyside2?

Good to know. It’s too bad that setting is not exposed in Settings directly like on macos. I’ve always had to go look up how to turn off the tap and drag behavior in gnome because I usually never want to do a drag action.

I’ve been using bose 700s for a long time. They do occasionally have goofy bluetooth behavior and the earcups have to be replaced if you use them heavily, but the bose sound profile I like a lot more than the sony.

I’ve tried XM5’s recently for more codecs, and I love them except for one thing, which was that the band over the top had hard plastic parts and not enough soft padding, so the headphones with my head shape had a tendency to painfully squeeze. Wearing a hat or putting something on the band helped though. Headphones were light and breathed a bit better than the 700s anyway (haven’t tried the QC 2).

Have you tried pressing both simultaneously from off until the asus logo appears?

If schools only focused on what students were motivated to learn, I’m not sure schools would really be accomplishing much. Not to say that schools shouldn’t foster motivation in students. Just that technology, especially social media, is very effective at distracting people.
