@samurro I could never get it to work (there's a many year old issue somewhere where nobody knows what's going on). I ended up writing my own screenshot tool instead and press a key on it when I want to open the screenshot in an editor.
Shotman talks to the compositor directly. Using the portals is way too slow because the screenshot needs to be encoded, written to filesystem, re-read from filesystem and decoded again into the original format.
Checking out the listed web / desktop #apps for #Mastodon most of them are really underwhelming. They even fail to describe on why one should use them. I didn't find a single desktop app which was worth installing, just from the information provided on their webpage. Multiaccount usage is irrelevant to me, for now.
With the #webapps I am now briefly trying out #phanpy#tooty#statuzer#trunksapp#elk and #mastodeck
The Deutsche Bahn #db is such a grand shitshow its unbelievable. If your connection is canceled YOU have to fill out forms to get your money back and even after reading their information page, its not clear to me, what rights apply exactly. Those whole organization is an embarrassment in terms of #service
Why are you playing #solorpg systems? #ttrpgs are living off their social interaction and emergent storytelling, which is not-existent or strongly diminished when playing solo. Which system do you play and what makes them work for you? #rpg#pnpde#pnp
@kik@lextenebris So much text. And yet I fail to see what new bring to the table. My intention was never to shame #solorpg players. I was just genuinely interested in motivation/experiences...even quotations marks are ignored...sigh
@samurro@lextenebris As you say, so much text. If you're still failing to see the interest of solorpg, maybe it's time to consider you may have preconceptions and are attached to them, to the point of refusing the answers to your very questions. And yes, you get heat because your contempt is showing.
"How did I install application XYZ again? It seems to reside in /opt/... hmm I don't even have #appimagelauncher installed on this machine... so probably a local dpkg..."
@nuncio Newbies is misleading. There are many proponents for #flatpak#appimage etc.
Also with immutable distros being the hype currently I am not sure the trend is dying down soon.
If iam inside a directory I can execute a file with ./filename, but what do I need to do if I am in a different dir? Entering the ./filepathxyc/filename doesn't work. #linux#cli
@lhp After reading the last two sentences over and over, I guess I didn't understand how the tagging system works to begin with. Because it says "Compiling succeeds, so you toggle tag 2 and only your editor remains on the screen." Thats the opposite of what I understood toggling would do. So I am really clueless still about #tags
@samurro I have rewritten that wiki page. Hopefully you'll find it more clear now.
Either way, I think you are doing yourself a disservice by trying to "learn" river this way. I recommend just start using it and most things will come on their own. The default init binds keys for tags that should feel familiar if you have used sway (or similar) before.
I am interested in a more in-depth #comparison between different #package managers for #linux specifally #pacman and #xbps
Has someone a link to a video/article?
@samurro@torsten because I simply don't have any benchmarks. Porting my config to another distro will take several days and even then it might not be comparable at all. One day I might be gaming a lot and draw much more battery while the other I just do some light internet browsing.
Also to compare things I would probably need to change one distro a lot which might just invalidate the entire thing.
Also what would you benchmark that makes sense in a real world scenario?
@samurro@torsten synthetic benchmarks are nice but they don't translate well into the real world. Is the compile time of Firefox or some browser benchmark a good metric? That's not what I am usually doing anyway. Is some game a good benchmark? What if the difference boils down to some library having a different version? Questions over questions to which I don't have a good answer right now.
I am wondering, how up to date is #voidlinux in terms of kernel and drivers? Is there a way how I can check what the current versions of packets are in #void without having to install it?
Any #syncthing powerusers here? I am looking for a solution how to sync only specific party of my local #music library to my mobile device without creating a parallel file structure, aka having all those files two times on my local disk. Any suggestions?
@samurro Hey, you're welcome! Just to clarify my specific use case: I want to sync a number of music folders to my phone. When I decide to put an album on the phone, I adjust the ignore settings as we discussed. TBH Syncthing isn't really an ideal solution, but I'm lazy ;-)
For this share on the phone I have the type set to "Receive Only". This way I can delete music from the phone, knowing it doesn't affect the computer.
@proactiveservices So you basically edit the ignore file on the source devices (computer) and delete the albums from your mobile device.
But that means you are not able to edit the .stignore-global file on your mobile device, correct? (receive only)
