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

lol this is hilarious. but wouldn’t it be better as a configurable special key so I can map it to what I want like:

• Reply All, type No bold face

• svn commit

• rm -fr ~ to remove the French language pack

pdftk can split it into pages, and then recombine the pages. not sure how to automatically remove an element from each page unfortunately.

There is no way Trump will pardon him

Other famous predictions I’ve made include:

• There is no way Trump will get elected

• There is no way Trump will get elected again

• 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

post title isn’t the same as the article title

lmao. he didn’t have the courage to speak out against trump publicly. he didn’t have the courage to endorse Harris. he did what he was supposed to do and what any law abiding citizen would have done in his place.

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

there have been several articles exposing plastic recycling as green washing. unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media

https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1131131088/recycling-plastic-is-practically-impossible-and-the-problem-is-getting-worse

i saw a chart somewhere showing less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled but I can’t find it now

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 have so many idiot friends who said “I’m not voting for Harris cause of Israel”. I’m betting that line was a plant by the Republicans or Putin. but it stuck. and my friends bought it hook line and sinker.

there’s a difference between adults (both over 21) is NBD. but one 16 and one 2, or one 17 and one 22 is concerning.

in some states you would be arrested for statuary rape

why exactly do you prefer run0?

with sudo I can allow certain actions I do myself (e. g. system upgrade or change timezone) to proceed without a password, but require a password for everything else. this is important because some scripts elevate privileges via sudo. if I allowed all sudo without password I might be ruined byone badly written script…

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?
