Cwilliams,

It’s your personal choice to advertise a chromium-based browser on the !c/[email protected] channel, but…

Cwilliams,

they honestly were personally confused because I run KISS launcher

This is what I think would happen if someone stole my laptop. Even if they got my password, they would need to figure out how to start sway, and then launch any useful application. I know there’s no security in obscurity, but I think it would be pretty funny to see someone try

Cwilliams,

Typed with thumb-key. This is so hard, but im determined :)

Cwilliams,

Agree! I want to use this on my .github.io page!

ChallengeApathy, to firefox

I really appreciate @firefox adding the ability to enable custom search engines for searching with the address bar. As someone who just types my searches direct to the address bar, not having the option to use my search engine of choice was a problem that's now solved!

Cwilliams,

I think it’s more intuitive in Chrome, but much more powerful in Firefox. Personally I didn’t know that you could do this in Firefox until today

recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

Cwilliams,

Since Wayland is lighter than X.org, LabWC could be another option. It is not fully compatable with Openbox, but most Openbox configs work on LabWC

Cwilliams,

Maybe except KDE

Cwilliams,

My friend has been complaining about this! Glad to see it fixed

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

Cwilliams,

Beautifully said

Cwilliams,

Shocker.

Cwilliams,

Not sure about the other ones, but I use Btrfs because of subvolumes and backups.

Subvolumes are like special folders inside of your partition that mount separately. Ex. In my btrfs partition, I have a @home partition that is mounted to /home

This makes it easier to choose what you are backing up, because you can say, “just copy everything in @home to the backup location”

If I got any of that wrong, feel free to correct me!

Cwilliams,

Well that’s because any support for it is unofficial. NTFS is made for Windows

Cwilliams,

I didn’t want to sound to harsh, but yea

Cwilliams,

Tor merch is fire 🔥

Cwilliams,

Why is Grey not on Lemmy yet?

Varjo XR-4 Headset "Indistinguishable From Natural Sight" (www.uploadvr.com)

This seems to be Varjo’s response to the Apple Vision Pro. Its significantly cheaper than the last headset, the Varjo XR-3, going from $5,495 to $3990 and also removing the $1000 yearly subscription. Here’s a reminder that Apple initially developed much of their software for the Apple Vision Pro using Varjo’s XR-3’s and...

Cwilliams,

…that is except for the large box strapped to your face

Cwilliams,

I love that this notation is generally accepted among the linux nerds. Lemmy FTW :)

Cwilliams,

I don’t know what linux is but it can’t be worse than Windows.

Lmao

Cwilliams,

Malwarebytes for me, but same thing

Cwilliams,

But how long did it take you to get there? I think the point he was trying to make is that GIMP has a steeper learning curve. If you’ve never used krita/pinta/etc, but you gave a lot experience with GIMP, then yes, GIMP will be easier

Cwilliams,

Personally, I’ve never had an Arch update break my system. But it’s probably only a matter of time

Cwilliams,

Roku is pretty nice

Cwilliams,

Most updates are OTA. They don’t give you a choice

Cwilliams,

Yep. LM or Ubuntu is my recommendation to newbies

Cwilliams,

My problem with Nix stuff is the lack of documentation. When I tried home-manager, I had a bunch of issues with undocumented config options and such

Cwilliams,

RIP UBO

Cwilliams,

Ad guard DNS is super easy to set up, too. Basically ad blocking with zero tradeoff

Cwilliams,

But what are they going to do about it?

Cwilliams,

I just use wget with some bash scripts when neccesary

Cwilliams,

Even if Ubuntu does start doing slightly sketchy things, they’ll still be a million times better than Windows or MacOS

Cwilliams,

If you’re a real nerd, you could look into org-mode. Doom-Emacs is great on the deskrop and Orgzly is awesome on my phone. Orgzly also has some useful widgets. No luck on natural language dates, tho

Cwilliams,

The iA Writer fonts are quite nice, but super proprietary and not neccesary by any means

link

Cwilliams,

I wonder if this technology could be used in OBS’s screen recording?

Cwilliams,

Do you have any resources for doing Btrfs snapshots? I already use Btrfs, but I’ve never really caught on to the whole snappshotting thing

Cwilliams,

One time I was creating custom Arch Install media, and I thought I had mounted the USB drive’s partitions, but I had actually mounted my own system’s partitions. When I ran pacstrap, it actually ran on my own system, but, by some miracle, didn’t completely nuke it.

Cwilliams,

I broke up with JB Mono a while ago :'(

Cwilliams,

Ooh, the sales pitch of “the best font is the one you don’t notice” is quite intriguing

Cwilliams,

I used it at one point, but I found it slower than DDG or SearXNG

Cwilliams,

Jane

Cwilliams,

A script to do that would also be nice for us cli junkies

Cwilliams,

This isn’t just a fish thing, it works with bash, zsh, etc too

Cwilliams,

Oh, thanks for the clarification!

Cwilliams,

Comment Same! It’s really funny Tnemmoc

Cwilliams,

I presume that only works if you use spice, tho

Cwilliams,

Thunar

Cwilliams,

Install something basic with no network access. Anytime you need network, boot Tails and use that

Cwilliams,

I didn’t realize custom roms didn’t support android auto. The things you have to give up for privacy 😢

Cwilliams,

I thought the whole point of rust macros was to abstract away the scary asm at zero cost!
