Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

There’s also Xfce4, MATE, Cinnamon which come ith man, OS installers as an option. Not to mention various smaller projects (e.g. LXDE or whatever the cool kids use nowadays). Personally I’ve been spoilt by Awesome WM since 2008 and can’t live without terminal/shell.

Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click

Right click where? All major DE’s/WM’s implement stuff in their own way. The problem here is we don’t (and won’t) have a unified GUI that everyone uses, unlike the other two main OS’s. (Note: I don’t see this as a problem, more as a result of the FLOSS ecosystem being such a rich soil to build stuff on.)

I think Neal Stephenson’s In the Beginning was the Command Line has some valid points even today.

The fix comes to sid first. (Not counting experimental.) The right way to do it is to run mixed testing/unstable with apt-pinning so that nothing gets pulled from unstable unless spcifically requested.

That said, stable with Firefox from Mozilla’s site and Neovim built from sources and gpack’d into deb package runs perfectly fine with much less hassle.

Ah, the web portals.

No idea, but with tar I never use dashes. Just tar xf away.

Killing Vim is already a bummer. Making it commit suicide is sad as it can get.

Dogs learn words. When your puppy pees, say out loud, for example pee-pee and praise the dog. Do this consistently a few times when the dog urinates. After a while they learn what it means, and you can tell them to go by using the command pee-pee. The same with pooping, of course.

This technique applies to all kinds of actions. One of the more useful ones are the directions: when on a walk and you turn to the left, say “left” and “right” when taking a right turn. The direction commands can potentially save the dog’s life in case they get off leash in a high traffic area.

Good points. I should start to go to bed earlier. Always been somewhat of a night owl so I have to focus on that more.

Cheers for the tip!

This sounds plausible.

I do have a Huawei Band 8, but the differences in the stats are not great between nights. Not the most accurate device but it seems to get some things right. I know I should get more deep sleep but it is what it is.

Once you do this there’s no coming back.

It has the MessagEase layout supported as well.

Well, quite easily because the amount of irritation that this move caused greatly exceeded the benefits of the product. Even if typing on mobile is now somewhat clunkier and more taxing mentally whether using thumb-key or Gboard.

Sometimes it’s better to daunt them first with this piece.

Yeah… It could’ve been one solution because in practice the app was pretty much unmaintained anyway.

This is wholesome in a strange way.

Ok, I think this has some way to go still. Compared to MessagEase quite a bit of features are missing (the combine button which gives instant access to a whole lot of special characters, many settings, also do I have to press # to access numbers, etc). That said, I’ll keep this installed and hopefully contribute to its development if I can.
