I'm many things. Here's perhaps a few worth knowing.

I'm:

  • an M.A. in #Philosophy
  • a teacher, mostly #teaching #academic #writing
  • a committed #FOSS user
  • a #Fediverse enthusiast

If you're into Mastodon, you can also find me @UdeRecife@firefish.social.

  • CopyQ (clipboard manager) 8.0.0 released

    Jump

  • I love copyq so much. It's definitely one of the apps I first install in a new deployment. When I hear of the troubles some people go through for not having a clipboard manager, I just smh and think, 'copyq'.

  • KDE: update icon thinks I have a light plasma theme

    Jump

  • I had many issues since the upgrade. After getting tired of hunting them down individually, my one-time solution was to nuke my old configs and simply start anew. Fresh home, .config, .local.

  • Which one do you prefer? htop, btop or top?

    Jump

  • I use both htop and btop—depending on the mood. htop is less prettier, but more reliable. But sometimes I want pretty and I go with btop. top is where I draw the line. It's too nerdy for me.

  • Sorry if I mistake your intention. If that's the case, it's just me making a wrong guess.

    You're probably misreading this.

    I authored THE NAME. If you prefer, I'm the name-giver, the author in this sense.

    Linus is the namer and the creator of that kernel.

    As creator he is by right allowed to name his creation whatever he likes. Just like me, as the cat 'entity creator as a pet' am allowed to name it whatever I like.

    No outsiders input required. You get now what I mean by author?

    Whatever your reply may be, let me thank you already for engaging. It's nice to be pressured to explain something in simpler, more accessible terms.

  • Maybe you'll like it more under this new guise: I named my cat Goofyball. But since Linnaeus named the species Felis catus, you remind me that my cat's name should ackchyually be Felis catus/Goofyball. To which I reply, very appropriately, 'it's MY cat'. So Goofyball it is.

    Understand now the authority argument? Authority in the sense of authorial, having an author.

  • I've been using it for more than 20 years, but I still love when someone pulls the GNU/Linux card.

    To me it feels like reading an old plaque in Latin. It reminds me of an important past that shouldn't be forgotten.

  • KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

    Jump

  • Hello! Nice to meet you. I know and love your kind. One monitor is pretty standard, so I have a lot of friends just like you.

    Yup, 3 monitors user here. I guarantee it's not that uncommon.

    (And yes, I'm still running X11)

  • What's your favorite note-taking application?

    Jump

  • Not being open source is the great... sin for me. Note taking is an investment in the future, and betting on a closed source platform is a big no no—for me, that is.

    I know the content is safe in Obsidian, since it's just Markdown files. But the workflow? Not so much.

    And I know the developers behind Obsidian have their reasons to close source it. Nothing against that. But since that's their way, it's not my way.

  • Please, I don't want to be rude, so don't take me wrong.

    I think that's not accurate. Trillium is not even an outliner, let alone a block note taking app. I think you're mixing trillium with Logseq.

    My memory may be failing me, but I think trillium has been around longer than Roam Research.

    And yes, it's a great open source note taking app!

  • Logseq user here too.

    However, for a quick, transitory note, I use Kate or, more recently, Xpad. Only then I transcribe the content to Logseq. Why?

    Because while Logseq is great as an outliner and for network thinking, it's as graceful and agile as an elephant.

    The gist of what I'm saying is: for now, and for me (hardware might be playing a role here, but I don't think so) Logseq is a good note database. For quick typing, I have to use something else.
