vim, fvwm and Debian after 10 years of use.
I found firenvim which allowed me to edit text boxes in Firefox using neovim. couldn’t do it with vim, so I switched. love it
I bought a new laptop with a 4k screen. had to have different scaling on my external monitor and laptop screen. fvwm wouldn’t handle it… switched to kde/plasma and arch.
not sure if this is the kind of habits u were looking for 😃
save 80gb for root, sone swap (if not on an ssd) rest for /home. that way reinstalling or switching has minimal risk of losing my /home
i use arch. I’ve got it set up and it works really well for me. I’d only switch if I had some feature I needed in atomic that I can’t have in arch. (not just a feature atomic has, but a feature I need that atomic has)
how much air conditioning do you have? if you take public transport, is it air-conditioned?
what has red had done that makes you say the law is meaningless to them?
thank you. I’ve been burnt by the lock screen bug and happy to see it fixed
oof. blue sky was created by the guy who made twitter wasn’t it? if he sells to the next bond villain, blue sky will just become twitter 2.0.
open source, decentralized.
thanks. I keep Firefox updated. the fact that changing the user agent gets the delay is pretty damning evidence
how do I find out more about this and what scripts do I need to make the sites faster again on Firefox
Founders were looking for a 1bil payout 😂. they settled for 116mil 🤯…
why would anyone pay for a company that flopped so fantastically? this makes no sense at all…
lol. so I guess fedora is pushing flatpacks now? I know Ubuntu was pushing snap, so I guess fedora followed suite with a different standard. yay.
thankfully arch isn’t getting into this nonsense
I use Lemmy because there’s a good ad free app (jerboa)
for me the other useful thing would be mobile apps. I use jerboa
https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa
it’s also available on the play store
it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better
honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.
I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…
hilarious. tx for sharing. updating to include the latest OS airlines tht constantly push ads or ai would be nice
so I found it interesting and checked it out. the protocol is all well and good but the problem is social. I’m simply not going to send people my delta chat Id and ask them to message me there instead if they have delta chat installed. I had the same problem with session messenger.
when I meet someone irl I’m trading phone numbers. not asking if they have app X installed.
this might be useful for open source projects where you can use ur delta chat id instead of ur email. but it’s not something I would use unless it’s a requirement to join some community I wanted to.
the problem signal solves by tieing accounts to your phone number is contact discovery. thanks to user IDs you no longer have to share your phone number with people u want to chat with, and can only share your user id
plus signal guarantees the metadata is encrypted. is the same true for delta chat?
for WhatsApp the founders quit over privacy concerns, and made signal
there’s also a nice (long) article by propublica from a few years ago
there’s also session
unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃
I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.
honestly most distros will be fine. what matters more is your desktop environment. pick something light where Bells and whistles can be turned off. i used fvwm for many years on a lower spec system. now I use kde/plasma on wayland.
I’ve used arch and Debian on low spec systems. both were fine. slightly prefer arch cause it’s more up to date
