Scrollbars are now terrible in GTK. Let's make them not terrible.

# Make this part of your environment, however you do that:
export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
# For things that start as services:
systemctl --user import-environment GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING || true

Also, clicking in the trough should page, not warp:

$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0

Shift-click will still do a warp

Making a #sip call from the #calls app on the #librem5 (and yes audio worked ;) ). This is still a development version of gnome-calls. And work still needs to be done to make it more user friendly and integrated with other components. But hey it is progress :D
Credits go out to: @devrtz that has been working to add #sip on gnome-calls. Also the account on the phone is an jmp.chat account, shoutout to them as jmp.chat is an awesome service :D

Pro-tip: if you use the DOM Inspector in your browser to copy the HTML source for a <table> and then save that HTML source in a file with an .xls extension and open it in LibreOffice Calc or Excel, it will actually open it correctly and allow you to save as a CSV.

This is useful in case your organization's enterprise software doesn't allow you to export data Jesus Fucking Christ what century are we even in fuck

Feli: Why is it called a fly?
Me: Well, because it flies.
Feli: Okay but why is a horse called a horse and not a "walk" or something then?

From Middle English horse, hors, from Old English hors (“horse”), from Proto-West Germanic *hors, *hross, from Proto-Germanic *hrussą (“horse”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥sós (“horse”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱers- (“to run”).
