@thelinuxcast gnome really doesn't want you to use anything other than gnome-terminal. Last time I tried to switch terminals to something else in gnome (admittedly 2022), the only way to get another terminal to launch from the "open terminal here" link in nautilus involved a hacky change using that regedit-type-thing gnome has (gconf i think?). But if i know matt, you are probably using a non-default file manager too, so maybe it doesn't matter
@brainwane That you can pay people money to do things isn't a big surprise. But does the UX world have a "pro bono" culture of making contributions to (the design of) open-source projects the way software does? Most UX people's portfolios that I see showcase personal and client projects, not software
@cory Getting people to click through to my site—and read the latest version of the post, and check out the other parts of the site that aren't part of the feed—is the end goal, though?
@hamatti@cory It's not about ads or money (my goals are similar to yours, in fact), but about the integrity of my writing and image. My posts have a lot of katex, code, and formatting that will break in common RSS readers. I also don't want people reading cached copies of posts that I have updated with better information.
Is there a standard way to show on my website that I have an #rss feed (other than just a direct link to it)? E.g. something in the <head> element that will integrate with browsers? Or is the link still the best practice?
I don't want to surprise leaders by dropping a link that goes to raw xml. Using #jekyll if that matters.
Vivaldi has now been changed to vivaldi-snapshot and then locked the fuck down. It will no longer get updates on openSUSE unless I allow it to. I don't care.
Just a half hour with Firefox was enough for me to know that I don't care for that workflow any longer.
@thelinuxcast What happened with Vivaldi...? Did it turn evil? I don't see any news? (I know it was already controversial with the half-open source business)
If you're a longtime #Windows user who might want to give #Linux a try but you don't know where to begin and are worried it will all be too overwhelming for you, then I suggest #Fedora#Onyx. You'll get a very similar desktop experience via #Budgie with a very low maintenance Linux experience under the hood. And yes, you can game with it 😎.
@vwbusguy@heurism I was thinking about this Windows-enforced norm today as I looked at my home directory in KDE with its default Pictures, Documents etc. folders—most of which are nearly empty!
When you think about it, organizing files by type doesn't really make much sense for the type of work we like to do on computers, i.e. multimedia. A project-based or chronological structure makes way more sense, perhaps with an indexed database for the rare occasion where you want to filter by type.
This #Linux, #Unix, #macOS, #FreeBSD shell feature comparison table shows that ZSH and FISH have the most features. Why aren't you using ZSH or FISH yet?
@nixCraft Not all "command name completion" is created equal... After using fish and powershell on my work computer and getting used to a >50% hit rate when just typing five letters and pressing ➡️, bash starts to feel a bit clumsy. Would be interesting to see a powershell column in here, too—as much as we hate MS, it is open source and cross platform.
