i dislike horizontal tabs, so i go with sidebery / tree-style-tabs. also use a lot of pinned tabs and they sit on top of the list of tabs. this way i can have ~10 pinned tabs and still remember what all of these are.
The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the...
my resume is 90% chatGPT… the informations are true, but i could never write in that style. it got me two jobs, so i know it works.
i used it a couple of times to rewrite stuff given a context. like i wrote the email but it came out in a vague passive aggressive tone, and letting chatGPT rewrite it will reword it to be more appropriate given the context.
New to Linux, running Debian (if that matters), dot files are configuration files, yes? Do I need to explore each app/UI/program to figure out the possible options? Are there any universals in Linux? Across distros?...
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
me too, but i will switch to arch or nix soon. not because it broke, just to have a frash start. after 3+ years i have a shit load of stuff i don’t really need anymore
So i have my main system, i have been running NixOS on for over a year. It has been a pleasure to daily drive. And ive recently been playing with gentoo and funtoo. And althought alot of information, which is somewhat overwhelming but is slowly growing on me and making me appreatate linux as a whole. So i was wondring what other...
i have 2 screens, i use a grid of 20 desktops for each screen. the grids are synced between the screens, if i go left on one screen, it goes left on the other
i have tiling; i use bismuth to add the tiling to kwin. i have set up shortcuts like meta+f makes a window float etc
i have an mx master mouse with the thumb button and other configurable buttons. i have logiops to remap those. clicking the thumb button will bring up the desktop grid. thumb+up goes a desktop up, etc… this is extremely comfortable to use
i have configured the task manager in the panel to only show apps opened in the current virtual desktop. this way i can have a Firefox for each row for example.
the mouse part is the part i like most. usually people use this kind of workflow to not use the mouse… i did the opposite. in kde with meta+left click you can move windows between monitors or to reorder them in the tiling. and with meta+right click you can resize them. this means that opening 2 windows will open them with half screen for each (because of the tiling) but with meta + mouse i can reduce one window (and thus enlarging the other), it’s very fast and very convenient.
the 20 desktops are a lot but i don’t use them all, i generally organize my work in rows. but sometimes i use the desktops differently and i like to have that kind of flexibility.
i actually used 2 activities to separate work and personal, with 2 separated Firefox profiles. so i had 40 desktops for personal and 40 for work… :)
but activities have their own set of problems, like, there is no shortcut to send a window to another activity, you have to do it from the menu in the panel. and after a reboot, sometimes windows get thrown into the wrong activity, and that’s very annoying.
to add a bit of context, i’m a software engineer, and the combination i use most is vscode on one monitor and Firefox in the other. with maybe dolphin on a neighbor desktop. this repeated 4/5 times depending on how many projects i’m working on.
yes after a reboot stuff gets reopened in the same place it was (sometimes some windows do not, is not 100% stable). but only windows that support saving themselves into the session get reopened, stuff like vscode or Spotify do not. Firefox and kde stuff yes.
Firefox is very stable in this regard, it always reopens all the windows with all the tabs in the right desktops.
the activity part is definitely a bug, its a kde + X bug and it is in wontfix state. i hope they will rework this feature on plasma 6 with Wayland
for photos there is immich. they also have a guide to import photos from gphotos.
context: immich is a selfhosted app, with fully functional web view and app. the app can do background backups. there are ML jobs configurable on the server to search anything, and have faces of people aggregated.
A moment ago I unmounted my 1TB HDD with 400GB of content and I partition it into two different partitions, obviously keeping the space that was already occupied. I did because I don’t care if the content get corrupted, but after I did it everything is still working perfectly, when I thought everything would be corrupted....
when you resize a partition with data, gparted will move the data inside the partition to fit the new size.
imagine you have a 100gb partition with 50gb occupied. now you want to shrink it to 80, if there is stuff in the last 20gb, gparted will move them to available space in the first 80gb, and then make the partition.
still i definitely will not trust it and have backups

there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.
but don’t take my word for it, i don’t have a source.
