I don’t care about “number go up”.
Lemmy now has enough users to provide plenty of content, and really interesting new communities I’ve never seen on that other website are starting to pop up.
It also has its own memes and culture already.
You don’t have 1000 comments under every meme post, but the comments that are there are usually worth reading.
It’s not a reddit replacement - it’s much better.
Just a shot in the dark:
Backup your fstab, then edit it to mount the drives to a subdirectory of your home.
Maybe that’ll get you back access.
Create a different user for each desktop environment.
Put all the users in a group that has full write access to a shared folder you use for your files.
Linux is a multi-user system, use that.
Setting up Alpine or Mutt with multiple SMTP accounts is an exercise in frustration.
cage is a minimalist Wayland compositor that only shows a single application in fullscreen. When you close the app, it drops you back to your console.
It’s compatible with programs that need X11 through XWayland, and it has practically no loading times.
cage -ds firefox would open Firefox in fullscreen.
Option -d hides client-side decorations and -s allows you to switch from Wayland to another TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6]
I put aliases for the programs I use in my .bashrc so I can just type FF[Enter] and a second later I have Firefox open.
That is exactly the reason why I like the text interface so much. It makes you think about what you want to do next.
In a graphical environment, there are lots of hints right in front of you what you could do next (made even worse in other OSs that use pop-ups).
In a text environment, unless you actively do something, all you get is a blinking cursor.
It increases my productivity and reduces time wasted on the computer, not because it is a bit faster, but because I don’t get distracted.
And it actually lets me set up multiple IMAP/SMTP accounts without sacrificing a chicken to the Unix Philosophers.
The standard frontend doesn’t let you log in without JS, but on old.feddit.org it works.
Same with the other instances I tested.
I’m a photographer and edit my own photos. I’m not gonna outsource that to an AI.
And I understand why some people are fonts enthusiasts, now.
On the console, you only have 256 colors and 1 font to customize your “desktop”.
There was a storm in the desert where they were filming which destroyed a lot of the equipment and almost doomed the film.
I think I remember reading that they had to use cheaper film stock in those scenes for that reason.
I’m just using the Links browser and fbi for the images.
Thank you for this. aerc is going to save my sanity.
Yes. I have absolutely no idea what its purpose or use case is.
On a TTY, it has no mouse click support. It also has no keyboard navigation support in general. So how am I supposed to navigate websites?
On a terminal inside a graphical environment it’s completely useless, cause I’m in a graphical environment and can just use Firefox.
Seriously, if anyone is using Browsh or Carbonyl productively, I’d love to know for what.
yes it only shows the filename of an image. But you can set it up to open images in an external image viewer when you click on it.
Yes I set it up to open in FBI without prompt.
The default video output device of a Linux TTY is the framebuffer.
I have no issues viewing images and PDF documents, or watching videos.
I’d love to put the ADHD away sometimes :(
See, that’s another great thing about this experiment: I get to discover all kinds of cool new tools.
Thanks for that, looks exactly like what I need.
Maybe not every niche needs a dedicated community.
