I’ve used herbstluftwm on my main desktop for years. Love it. Manual tiling works well for me. Totally flexible and customizable. Switch between floating and tiling with a keypress, etc.

And then on various other machines.

• Xfce on my desktop at work that I don’t use that much (work mainly from home) and just needed to set up quick. It’s totally fine, like xfce always is.
• Gnome on my tablet (basically a Surface knock-off). I don’t really like gnome, but it’s the only thing I’ve tried that works well OOTB for a touchscreen.
• PekWM on an old macbook running debian. Great stacking WM. Super flexible, and the tabbed windows for any app are cool.
• LXQT on an ancient (2009?) dual-core laptop that I mainly just use for writing in nvim. Works well for a simple setup.

You have to enable it, but once you do it can do them automatically.

Linux Mint Debian Edition. Very windows-like + automatic updates = ideal for people who don’t really want to have to learn anything new (assuming your parents are like mine in that respect).

However often you do it, you should definitely do it today to cover the serious backdoor that’s been discovered: https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoored/

I’m guessing you’re not old enough to remember Ronnie Reagan calling the Soviets “the evil empire.” Tensions were incredibly high in the early 80s, and the Republicans were super hawkish about it. I was a kid at the time and convinced we were all going to die in a nuclear holocaust.

I’ve been using tmsu for years to manage thousands of pdfs and images for my academic research.

It can be set up to work with a webdav database. So yes, you could self-host the database and access it from clients with local zotero installs.

Although judging from reactions I’m seeing online, the liberal hot-take is that UFOs are a strictly Republican thing now and that questioning whether the gov’t is hiding knowledge of UFOs is akin to being an anti-vaxxer QAnon disciple. Dana Milbank’s shitty take in WaPo today exemplifies this trend. So fucking annoying.

I’m on it now on arch. TBH it’s kinda making my life harder because some things I’m used to using have moved. I’m sure I’ll see the advantages of it at some point.

That’s impressive even just from a n/vim perspective. Thanks.

That should be the most interesting congressional hearing in a long time, almost no matter how it goes.

With that minimal self-hosted version, do you know if you can log into it using the firefox extension on linux? The only client they mention is the iOS one.

This link should work.

Even they could only ignore it for so long.

The Sky Lamprey is angry.

The irony is that once you find your way around through the default keys and search a little you soon discover how easy it is to reset them with “sane” settings. Same for window frames, etc. But yes, there’s definitely a learning curve.

Admits? Acknowledging that destroying capitalism is key to addressing the climate catastrophe is like admitting the sky is blue (or orange and smoky, as the case may be).

• endeavourOS

  • arch + installer + an awesome community

• spiral linux

  • debian + btrfs + snapper with snapshots in grub
  • I run it with sid and the snapshots are great if anything goes wrong with an upgrade

I just use firefox with the Tridactyl add-on that adds vim-like navigation and tab management. I like qutebrowser a lot too. It’s designed to be totally keyboard-based, but IME it’s less powerful with regard to ad-blocking and other stuff you can do in ff with add-ons.

“Could be interpreted”; “veiled threat” — that’s not news writing.

It’s not news reporting, but it is news analysis, which is entirely valid and practiced at all mainstream media (and hard-right) publications as well. I agree that Truthout can sometimes be a bit melodramatic about it though.
