the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)

I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.

Only things I’ll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I’ll gladly donate)

can u boot Linux of a USB? some USB drives give 1000mbps read so should be nice and snappy for a root fs

• ublock origin
• dark reader
• firenvim
• vimium
• containers

any chance you can build me a bot that pretends to be a rich Prince that wants to give me a lot of money… but asks me to pay a small collection fee first?

asking cause u posted in programerhumor

I went Gentoo to Debian to Arch.

Gentoo took too much time to maintain. (Not just compile time. But also human time editing config files).

Debian was great, until I had new hardware that needed a recent kernel and Wayland. i tried testing but that wasn’t stable enough and took too much of my time maintaining.

I’m using arch now. i would only switch if they do something egregious (push ads, malware or snap)

lol. i used Gentoo for 5 years or so. it’s the only distribution I don’t recommend.

it assumes you have hours of CPU time to waste, and hours of your time to dispatch-config afterwords.

do Debian or arch.

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

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 😃

I just make /root/.config/nvim a symlink to ~/.config/nvim and running nvim as root gives me all the same settings I’m used to. (I’d rather not run nvim-qt as root though, so in that case sudoedit is useful.)

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?

all comments here unanimously say don’t do it!

you need the job. take it, and do it well like the client wants. invest time in developing options so that you won’t have to take this job again.

your personal survival comes first

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
