The following is just my own assumptions, take with a grain of salt.

Phones are often taken out to perform a quick task, then stashed back in a pocket/bag many times a day. As such, being able to unlock a phone quickly is a rather useful feature.

On the other hand, laptops are usually taken out to be used for larger tasks, and as such, do not need to be unlocked as often.

Fingerprint scanners add less value to a laptop than they do a phone.

It’s actually when they mention the Lemmy community. Mastodon users seem to get confused which accounts are Lemmy accounts vs which accounts are Mastodon.

The name being the same causes the confusion, but is not the reason for the post coming to Lemmy.

adhd prolly idk

Using Rice/Ricing is perfectly fine. Words change meaning and evolve with different communities. In a Linux minded community such as this, you’ll be hard pressed to find people that will confuse Ricing for anything other than a fancy DE/WM.

Most people will understand Rice by the r/unixporn definition: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/wiki/themeing/dictionary/#wiki_rice

I love xonotic!

Alright, I’ll look into this. Thank you.

I have the plasma browser integration. It adds an item to “Share” in the context menu (for use with KDEconnect etc) and integrates Firefox with the media player.

Just tried it. Same colour picker as Firefox unfortunately.

The color type form input. It’s a HTML standard, all modern browsers have it.

Not really. I just like tinkering, and customising things, and I wanted to see if I could.

ugh

😢

No… I am starting to understand why you have been saying the things you have. You are actually thinking they are the same program.

They very much are not. KDE wrote their own. Just happens to look the same. KDE’s uses QT, Microsoft would use Window’s native toolkit.

They are not the same colour picker.

Hang on… you don’t think they are literally the same program right?

The KDE colour picker is a different program that just looks like the Windows one. KDE’s colour picker isn’t “16 bit”.

It pops up whenever a KDE application offers colour selection. Easiest way is probably to open settings to Appearance > Colors and click the Custom button.

Falkon also uses it with input type=color which is why the screenshot says Falkon in it.

Hmm, it appears it already is set to true. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work.

No. The purpose of Linux is to provide a free and open source operating system, that can be customised by yourself and the community to your liking.

I like KDE’s colour picker. It seems I would like the Windows one as well. It’s a good design. Linux doesn’t exist to be contrary, it exists to be a customisable, open experience.

But why would I go to Windows, if KDE has the same colour picker? Literally an argument for me staying is that the colour picker is identical, so not worth switching for the colour picker (which I really don’t care about when it comes to choosing a desktop).

All I wanted was to see if anyone knew of a way to allow Firefox to use my desktop environment’s colour picker. I don’t care if the design is “stolen” from Windows, and I doubt Microsoft cares either. You really have picked a very obscure, and rather stupid hill to die on.

Sorry for being harsh, I’m just frustrated that the discussion here is about KDE’s colour picker design, and not about customising Firefox, which is what I asked about.
