I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

Very familiar UI over there. Creating an acct now
Great question. Had to think about it and I’d say for me personally, poor implementation of color pickers is the biggest frustration.
As a technical user, I have no qualms w/ editing the default selection if it’s hard to read due to colors, but I get frustrated with poor color picker implementation. For example, color swaths that don’t have named descriptions when you hover over them. Even/especially the standard ROYGBIV colors on the first page of a color picker, but also to a lesser degree, descriptive hex codes on more nuanced online color pickers. I can’t tell the difference and don’t feel like hearing someone ask why I made the bold choice of making the sky pink.
Another issue is something like KDE’s Konsole has a color picker that doesn’t have clear names/examples for which aspect of the terminal is being changed, so when I wanted to change the bash custom prompt color to improve readability, I had to edit 5-6 different options, and use trial and error to fix the color.
Good to know. I will say as a colorblind person, it’s always a tad ironic because as a colorblind person, the filters don’t make things definitive. It’s still a bunch of random colors that I can’t identify lol
That my solution. I have a ‘Sync’ folder on every device’s Home folder, and then I use some aliases to determine whether to grab the bash_aliases file or replace it:
By far, the diff alias is the most used. It allows for a quick check on what is different between files w/o having to open them up
My uneducated guess is that Endless OS pays manufacturers to have their OS installed as it has what appears to be privacy-conscious telemetry. It won’t be anywhere close to what Microsoft/Apple, but in the Linux telemetry world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and so it’ll still have valuable data.
Some of the areas that are unlike most other distros I’ve come across:
To me, it’s akin to the free third party apps that come packaged with many Android mobile devices. Less intrusive since it’s anonymized, but also feels more intrusive because it’s the entire OS being monitored. I believe I came across a headline that Fedora is attempting to use the same tracking software in the link above
This review shares a more judgmental view of their practices
This article has a more positive spin
Just updated, thanks for sharing!
I switched to Kate eventually myself. Using the KDE defaults where possible to reduce size encouraged me to do it
Yeah. I forget that we’re still likely in the ‘early adopter’ phase of things for now, which is why a lot of the UX is hit or miss depending on the instance and iteration
IIRC, the fediverse pertains to an interconnnected network of servers that are managed individually. Privacy is an option that led many current users to the fediverse but is by no means a requirement.
If/when threads joins the fediverse, it will have addictive algorithms and collect large amounts of user data.
My guess is that it will be like the banking system in the US where many ppl go to the exploitative larger banks out of seeming convenience w/o realizing that the alternative, less popular Credit Unions actually have the consumers’ best interest @ heart
Ran nala after seeing this post and got a libc update on Debian myself
I use it. It’s great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.
I decided to create a few threads after a few months hiatus and was surprised by the levels of engagement. I think the audience is hungry for content and that more people need to take the plunge and start threads.
With that said, going to /all instead of /subscribed is largely frustrating since the most frequent posts are just memes and inside jokes
TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:
gefilte.fish
wearethe.world
fishkey.world
Thanks for the heads up
Some random ones I created over the last week or so:
alias clipboard=‘xclip -selection clipboard’ # Allows me to pipe output directly to my keyboard. good for pwd for example.
Function allows me to get tldr and cheat responses to commands quickly
function cht() {
curl cheat.sh/$1
}
Easy calculator so that I can do math w/o launching a specific app
function calc()
echo “scale=3; $@”
Gonna steal/repurpose the shutdown one, use the “sudo docker” = “docker” one and also the grub one. Good lord @ all the configs you edit lol.
ahhh a pormanteau lol, I like it
The best alliases are little inside jokes that are easy to remember imo
My impression
tldr/cheat: Explains most popular arguments using as little words as possible
man: Explains the entire command using a more technical tone
info: Explains the entire command in slightly more informal tone. Can feel wordier as a result, but on the flipside it connects alternative/related commands in a logical way
