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

    Jump

  • Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE

    No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find will show all the examples of ls that use find. If you remove ~find, then it shows all examples of ls.

    I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more for readability):

    function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }

  • TextBin | Open Source Alternative to PasteBin

    Jump

  • Was just thinking about whether there was an open-source alternative the other day, thanks for sharing.

  • Need help remembering the title of a short story.

    Jump

  • I asked Claude and it said look into The Ash Tree Man by Daniel Harms

  • Goodbye FireFish.

    Jump

  • RIP. Was on firefish a few months but saw the writing on the wall back then and jumped ship. In retrospect, probably the 3rd or 4th federated product I've been a user of that flamed out. WATTBA

  • What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

    Jump

  • My personal opinion is that it was:

    • Easier signup
    • A wider variety of opinions... Fediverse imo is known for tankies and progressives. I'm a progressive so I'm OK w/ the latter, but it can be an echo chamber at times.
    • Built-in audiences (Threads especially but also Jack founding a spinoff helps)
    • Similar to Linux, one of the benefits to open-source is plenty of forks and standards. This leads to a more fractured landscape at times and so it's rockier than the alternatives

  • Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH

    Jump
    • Doesn't have millions to market like the alternatives.
    • More technical requirement (historically anyways)
    • Much less likely to be the default on hardware (which is what most ppl stick to)

  • Sub.club aims to fund the fediverse via premium feeds | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Regardless of how you feel about subscriptions, it's a step in making the fediverse a more viable option for that that create content for a living.

  • How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

    Jump

  • Made the switch as well thanks to the modern key bindings

  • What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?

    Jump

  • Prior to switching (upgrading?) to Wayland, Debian KDE crashed under X11 regularly when waking from hibernation and the taskbar would disappear. Restarting the plasma shell made it operable again, so I created an alias and regularly rebooted the DE shell 2-3x a day:

    alias damnTaskbar='killall plasmashell ; kstart plasmashell &'

  • What are some pod casts worth checking out and why?

    Jump

  • i agree. Not as good as the OG podcast but it has found it's form over the last few months

  • What are some pod casts worth checking out and why?

  • Co-signing 538. Great podcast, especially for those that are good at processing/understanding data

  • Binged it and it was good.

  • Help me pick one of the habit trackers available through F-Droid?

    Jump

  • One more vote for Loop Habit Tracker

    Switching back to Windows. For now.

    Jump

  • I get it. I'm a year in and was pulling my hair out dealing w/ frustrating issues for the first few weeks/months. Smooth sailing now, but I don't deny the learning curves that are possible.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

    Jump

  • Do it!

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

    Jump

  • I made the transition last summer and there was definitely growing pains. Over time it will become second nature like everything else. The advice I would give would be to be patient and accept that you have used a different operating system probably for over a decade, so there will be a learning curve initially.

    Also, artificial intelligence models (especially Claude) are very useful for troubleshooting.

  • Google is Working on a Recall Feature for ChromeOS - Thurrott.com

    Jump

  • I'm going to continue buying Chromebooks because I can wipe the OS and put Linux on them.

  • Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd

    Jump

  • I use Floorp and JUMPED to it from Firefox because I had a mediocre Firefox experience. I fancy myself a power user and was not a fan. The idea that the majority who try Firefox and have issues are in the wrong and the minority who enjoy the experience are right seems backwards...

  • Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd

    Jump

  • I had the exact same journey as you: Chrome to Chromium to Firefox to Floorp.
