TIL about using lsblk instead of just reading through the output of journalctl to find the disk and partitions. Thanks!

That’s not been my experience. It may be using a web view under the hood, but the functionality is quite different. Additional features, breaking the video call out of the primary pane, etc. To suggest that they’re essentially the same is not accurate.

Really? All I’ve seen is a Flatpak that’s really just a wrapped web view. Is there now a native version of Teams for Linux?

I had the same reaction until I read this.

TL;DR: it’s 10-50x more efficient at cleaning the air and actually generates both electricity and fertiliser.

Yes, it would be better to just get rid of all the cars generating the pollution in the first place and putting in some more trees, but there are clear advantages to this.

I’m quite happy with EuroDNS. They even include free email housing if you want it.

True, but the mere existence of an AGPL project that follows the MIT one might be enough to convince would-be contributors to choose our version instead.

It may also be more likely to be adopted by non-corporate Linux distros that favour the AGPL over MIT (Debian for example) which in turn could help make the AGPL version the dominant one.

Here’s a fun idea, let’s fork these MIT-based projects and licence them under the AGPL :-)

Ubuntu is literally just Debian unstable with a bunch of patches. Literally every time I’ve been forced to use it, it’s been broken in at least a few obvious places.

I have zero interest in anything Microsoft has to say about Free software.

In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

Yes, that’s it exactly.

Hear me out: I want the prompt at the top of the screen.

It’s terribly inconvenient to have the place you’re typping your command into at the bottom. On laptops, your fingers are in the way, and on desktops, you’re always craning your neck looking at the bottom-left.

Imagine instead if your terminal looked like this:

| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| $ curl https://...
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| $ echo "hello"
| hello
| $ ls
| output.png
| goes.txt
| here.webm
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

After a command is entered in the upper pane, it’s appended to the lower pane along with the output just like a normal terminal. Maybe even something like translating Shift+Enter to mean “clear the output pane and run”.

Torrent stuff in HD or 4K and play those files instead of trying to stream from a company that won’t offer better than 720p :-)

Syncthing on Android will be discontinued, and there’s a fork already, which as I said above, I use.

I guess it’s been a while then. Syncthing works perfectly for me, with the official latest version in Arch, the older version in Debian, the flatpak on Ubuntu, and the forked version on Android, syncing all my Joplin data all over the place.

I don’t much care for the file format though. The appeal of Git Journal is strong.

Joplin + Syncthing has been great for me. Sync across multiple devices with no third party in between. However the “sharing” in this context is limited to other installations of the entire db. To my knowledge, there’s no way to say “sync these notes with my wife, and these others with my phone only” etc.

I used KDE for about 10 years, but switched to GNOME when 3 came out and haven’t looked back. It’s a little unusual if you’re coming from Windows, but I’ve found that once I let go of old paradigms like a start bar and icons and embraced multiple workspaces, that GNOME is pretty damned amazing.

BG3 is a pretty impressive game really. It’s clear that they poured a lot of effort and talent into it. It just feels… pointlessly complicated to me. There’s like, 200 different spells to cast, each with their own effectiveness based on a dice roll, a multitude of different configurations for character development which all feel both too similar and like I’m closing the door on something I might really like. The story is… okay, but really not that interesting to me, and the pacing in combination with the very open world and constant fiddling with gear with a multitude of only slightly different attributes… it’s just too much. The game feels more like a job than something I’d do for fun.

Whaaaaat?? Friend you just made my night! Thank you!
