Thanks. So I am guessing the shutter is only present when actually taking a picture since the view-finder is fed from the sensor?

Do not forget the library of Alexandria.

Spying for thee but not for me. Be seeing you.

Can I put focus on the “record video” button as I do not use the video features of my camera? Just not into video.

Nice focus idea! I like depth-of-field feature photography a lot myself.

So - mark this one [solved]

So I finally decided to just re-install Libre Office. This worked, at least I had my whole window after that…

but when I removed Libre Office it took way too much of the system with it - Discover (The app store) was even gone.

After trying to install the missing stuff again, I gave up and availed myself of the opportunity to ‘test my backups’. I nuked and re-paved Debian then restored my home directory and went about re-setting up my environment in KDE the way I like it.

Shift-Ctrl-J makes the ribbons go away, leaving only the cells in calc, with a dialog box giving a button to return from “full screen”.

I think my issue is not so much that I am in or not in Full Screen but rather that I have lost my window decoration and text-based menus. The ribbons are still there and I can save my document that way and Alt-f4 closes the application.

The search does not return any hits so no keystrokes to change to or from full screen

It’s not really “Full Screen”, but it is missing the window decoration and “File Edit …” menu I think if I can put it into tabbed menu mode that will help. I am not finding the icon bar that provides the “tabbed menu” button.

Nope, I already tried F11. I knew that worked for full screen on other programs.

Because they don’t want to lose a method of tracking us wherever we show our faces. I think masks will be a fashion in the future, and they are just so comfortable.

But I would not have disabled my ad blocker in other circumstances, but YouTube is forcing me to disable it against my better judgment to be able to use the site.

If YouTube takes files from 3rd parties and simply displays them, then viruses are possible. This is more true of ads placed via ad-broker on other websites. To get ad revenue a webmaster provides a space where the ad is inserted. The ad is provided by a 3rd party who pays the ad broker for placement. Neither the webmaster nor the ad broker have any visibility into the content of the ad, which could even contain code (ads which move or present UI elements have code to make those things work)

If a YouTube ad installs a virus on my system, can I sue YouTube?

So Chinese chip makers sell more and more of the sub-parity chips, what incentive do they really have to improve?

The minute you automate someone’s job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn’t need that person’s work to get by

I think this doesn’t seem right. If society did not need that labor there would be no need to automate it. The work needs to be done but the one who needs it does not want to pay to get it.

Thanks!

I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

I see - Getting that shot is a lot harder than mine - trees and flowers don’t move as fast as racecars. My eye is especially pleased by shots that use depth of field.

So there might be a way for me to designate a subject and then have the camera watch that subject while it moves through shadow or bright light and also maintain proper focus while I decide the proper framing and the moment to record?

I put the focus marker on the subject where I want the focus to be, then I would hold the shutter button down part way and re-compose the shot, then press the shutter button the rest of the way to shoot.

I just checked to see if Touch and Drag was on - it was off. I turned off “whole screen servo”, but I am not sure what that really is, I thought it was for video.
