    Plasma desktop customization guide - How to for newbies

    [09:09] schestowitz

    A few weeks back, one of my readers contacted me and asked me if I could do an article, newbie style, explaining the steps I take in customizing the vanilla Plasma desktop to my liking. And I thought, why not indeed. Although I've done this exercise many times before, in various shapes and forms, I've never explicitly went through it in one go, as a complete, sequential piece.

    [09:09] schestowitz

    Well, today, I shall rectify that. But let us set the expectations ere you continue any further. One, you should go through my Linux section and read a dozen odd guides on various Plasma tools and features. Perhaps start with my Plasma is the best piece, and then continue yonder. Two, this is MY customization, so if you don't like the Dedoimedo Haute Couture, then stop, in the name of love. Three, Plasma doesn't really [09:09] schestowitz need any tweaking. But it's a flexible desktop, and it lets you do whatever you like, thus everything I'm going to show you today can be accomplished with zero command line and zero third-party tools. Begin, we must.

    Audacity 3.0 called spyware over data collection changes by new owner

    The privacy policy page for Audacity was updated on June 2, reports Fosspost, with some additions relating to the collection of personal data. Specifically, that the app collects a variety of details relating to the users Mac.

    [09:10] schestowitz

    The list of data includes the operating system and version, the user's country based on their IP address, non-fatal error codes and messages, crash reports, and the processor in use. Under data collected "for legal enforcement," the software collects "data necessary for law enforcement, litigation, and authorities' requests (if any)," though no specifically what data is collected in such cases.

It fails however to convince. [22:56] schestowitz The problem occurs mainly with an internal priority that is a first filing as EP application followed by a second EP filing claiming the priority of the earlier one. [22:56] schestowitz Claiming that the Travaux prparatoires express the will of the contracting states although they have not taken a formal decision on this point goes a trifle too far for my liking. [22:56] schestowitz That purely formal rules can also have an influence on the substance is not to be denied, but when it is about Art 125, it can only be about formal aspects. [22:56] schestowitz Who can decide that an applicant cannot have a legitimate interest in doing something? The mere fact that such a double fling occurs shows that an applicant has a legitimate interest.
