  • 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






  • 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)















  • Thanks so far - all of these are really good - As I said I already have an apple IIC+ so that covers the 6502 side of things I think. I am thinking of something like a Vixen, or Ortrona only with the 3.5" drives- All in one. Or something I could build myself with like 2 of these drives. In that case, I can use my laptop as its screen and keyboard through a USB/Serial adapter. But an SX64 shape is what I am looking for.








  • I want to make as much space available as I can. I once wrote a small language called tiny. It had a fixed array of statements, that was a hard limit on the size of any program it could run. Because I can read the source and find out how big it is, I can attempt to malloc the needed space to store and run it. That way the program can be as big as memory allows.
