  • Finally, a Linux finder tool I can use

    Jump

  • Love reading about the author's struggle with find, it really resonates. I have the same terrible experience every time I try to use it.

  • I freed 30GB using Filelight

    Jump

  • There's a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.

    I hadn't heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it's a different take on the same idea.

  • UI Design?

    Jump

  • I don't have any better tips for getting involved, but I just want to say thanks! OSS clearly needs help from skilled designers all over the place. Any time someone like you steps up, it's a good thing. n_n

  • Deleted

    Is there any extension or mod to add mini player/pop out player to YouTube

    Jump

  • What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?

    Jump

  • It is really cool! I expected to it to enjoy seeing the machinery in both main parts come together, but I did not expect the surprise 1-2 cameo inside the console.

  • What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?

    Jump

  • I just built the NES/CRT set. It was about 2600 pieces - not very big compared to a lot of the serious sets I'm sure. But the only real one I've done.

    Definitely would do it again! It was very relaxing to take a few minutes out of each day and go through a bag of legos and instructions. I was kinda sad when it finished - the end product is cool, but the fun was really in putting it together and slowly watching it turn into a thing. I mean, I'd enjoy doing it again, but I don't expect or plan to for any reason.

  • What is your favorite pen brand?

    Jump

  • TWSBI has been good, in my experience, for fountain pens. But I haven't tried many different brands, just a handful.

  • YSK If you live in the US, you may have unclaimed funds held by your state

    Jump

  • Checked this in my state a few years ago, ended up getting like 50 bucks back. Took a while, I forgot about it by the time the check got here. Seemed like the state treasure was happy to have his signature prominently slapped on there.

  • What Youtube channels would you recommend, that have less than a million subscribers?

    Jump

  • Jeremy Parish has less than 100k, and constantly puts out great retrospectives on the nooks and crannies of retro game history.

    While the Retronauts podcast he's involved with is well known, I feel like his YouTube kinda flies under the radar.

  • We need the game publishers to face more consequences for neglecting a significant segment of the market

    Jump

  • There are dozens of us!

    Yeah, I also wish they'd have better support, but Linux players are not a huge group.

    Steam Deck and Steam machines have helped a lot though. Without Valve's weight behind it, trying to game on Linux would probably be a lot worse.

  • For Bluer Skies: Bluesky as a Viable Alternative to X

    Jump

  • Yes. Having centralized ownership (to whatever extent) is a concern for sure, but it's a hypothetical concern in and of itself: "what if the leadership does bad things?" Is different from "the leadership is currently doing bad things."

    Decentralization helps. But if the networks effects aren't behind it, jumping from platform to platform when things DO get bad is also viable.

  • Why on gods green earth do people buy gift cards?

    Jump

  • Yep, that's the right train of thought.

    I used to also dislike them, due to their limitations vs cash. But eventually realized that I liked having the excuse to go out of town to a fancy restaurant, or splurge on games I might otherwise decide I don't need right now.

    Strictly speaking, cash is better, yes. But gift cards can influence people to do things that might make them happier than typical rational or habitual decisions.

  • I always looked forward to such mornings when I was a schoolkid...

    Jump

  • The great thing from their perspective is that even if they can't make you be onsite, you can still have to work on snow days.

  • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

    Jump

  • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

    Jump

  • There's a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here's a handy list: altbox.dev

    I personally use bat and rg all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.

    Edit: And to clarify, I didn't create either list, they're just ones I'd bookmarked at some point.

  • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

    Jump

  • I really like that cd command. :P

  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

    Jump

  • Understandable, I'm really looking forward to FF getting tab groups too. I don't know why such a nice feature was left unimplemented for so long. 🫤

  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

    Jump

  • And I mean, there's still time now. Switching browsers isn't that bad. Export+import some bookmarks and adjust some settings, good to go.

    I think FF has been a good option for a while. But the second best time is now. I can totally get it if people didn't want to switch until they had more of a concrete problem.

  • Youtuber creators with under 1000 subs that are your favorite?

    Jump

  • Found Row's channel from a similar thread years ago: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6n98yEksXx0kHT4TA8_hQ

    This guy does runs of the Pokemon Stadium games blindfolded. And I don't fully know why, but it's just super chill and enjoyable to watch these videos casually.

    He's right at 1000 now. Though I don't see any recent uploads, hope he's not done.
