Revanee,

What if the perfect distro were the configs we made along the way?

Revanee,

Aseprite is purpose-built for pixel art. You can either buy it, or compile it yourself for free. I highly recommend checking it out.

Revanee,

Basically yes. You use *arr to find releases and make a copy with proper naming and metadata when a download finishes. On its own, that would not be great as you would double the size of everything. Except you use hard links. Those are kind of like shortcuts, but both the shortcut and original are the same thing. Both point to the same data on disk. In fact, they’re indistinguishable from each other. If you delete one, the data remains as there is another link pointing to it. If you delete both, the data gets deleted. Basically they are free copies. You just have to make sure your file system supports them

Revanee,

Yep, hard links only work within the same filesystem. You can have multiple drives in raid that form a single partition and use hard links within the array.

Revanee,

As a speaker of a couple of gendered languages, it absolutely is.

Reddit is blocking users based on user agents? (feddit.de)

Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?...

Revanee,

JavaScript, code that websites can run in your browser when you open them

Revanee,

Google search is available on apple devices though. Same with stuff like Gmail. Imagine if YouTube didn’t have an app for iOS and you had to use the browser. That would be worse for consumers, but Google could use it as a way to force people into Android. That’s what Apple is doing with iMessage and the whole phone ecosystem is worse because of it, whether you care or not.

Revanee,

iPhones are really popular over there. Most people have one. For teenagers it’s something ridiculous like 85% of them using an iPhone. In Europe we have a more balanced split, so only using iMessage wouldn’t fly here.

Revanee,

The new ones get bricked when the SSD fails

Revanee,

Nothing’s wrong with discussing things with the intent to make them better for everyone

Revanee,

Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls, it’s so peaceful and melancholic

Revanee,

That’s so dumb… To consider a defensive alliance more destructive and deadly that a corrupt state waging a war of expansion

zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user?

So I’ve been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I’m fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I’ve used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I’d love to hear people’s opinions.

Revanee,

Fish, it just works. Customization is super simple and has a really nice webui if you’re into that sort of stuff. Plugins are easy to install with fisher. Out of the box it’s very ergonomic and you don’t have to deal with tons of scripts that may need debugging. Custom shell functions take 2 seconds to set up. Scripts use a shebang to specify the shell they run in, so you shouldn’t have any issues with that. Whenever I absolutely need to run a command with bash, I just switch to it, do what I need to do, and hop back to fish. Highly recommend, haven’t looked back since I started using it a few years ago :)

Revanee,

Most people don't know this, but OpenOffice is pretty much dead. It hasn't been getting any real updates for quite a while. LibreOffice is pretty active and is the one you'd want to go with.
