I don’t like changes, that’s why I like Debian Stable.

It makes the OS and general interface more pleasant to look at and tickles the estethica oblongata.

Part of using GNOME (at least to me) is expanding on the interface and building a personal experience through extensions.

Cover-flow when and-tabbing? Extension. Dynamic opacity of top bar? Extension. Wiggly-wobbly effects when dragging or minimising/maximising windows? Extension. Installing custom themes? Guess what, that’s an extension too!

I think you understand where this is going.

In terms of polish (looking sharp), GNOME is the best on linux, still it can look much better in terms of eye candy if you add extensions. I think I have like 50+ extensions myself.

How’s your eyes, that green light given you glasses yet?

Dystopia is having to learn a whole new system and manually punch in commands in VIM instead of just entering “0400” and clicking “Every day” in a GUI simply to run a scheduled backup because some cyberpunks think it’s cool to stare at the black and green terminal emulator into the early morning and think that everybody else enjoys doing the same so we really don’t need a GUI.

And do systemd timers come with a GUI?

We get further with pitchforks, torches and a smile than with just a smile.

As standard replies and sub-replies. It works fine, though the ranking algo didn’t work last I checked.

There’s always decsync but despite the author claiming it isn’t dead, I say it’s dead. 😥

Yes, friendica shows Lemmy communities as regular friendica groups.

One day Mozilla will remove the web browser component of Firefox and go for AI, social media and “most used news” (pre-approved) API interaction only. 😏

“Because that’s what the users want”.

I’ve used it to encrypt both Pi4’s and 5’s. I think it’s most compatible with Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm), used it on both Lite and Desktop editions. Remember to use non-AES encryption since only the 5 has hardware enc/decryption. Good luck!

I never could be bothered with manually setting up LUKS, here’s an automation script if you don’t get it to work:

I have several 4 and 8 TB disks filled up with various stuff just waiting to be cleaned up. Why do you think I’m preaching about storage space management?

My dual 10’s are starting to fill up because I don’t move stuff off-site as I should. And then reclaiming space through disk analyser and freeing up reserved space is a life saver.

Doesn’t people use a disk usage scanner every once in a while to find out if there’s something hogging space?
