I love Firefox and it’s my main browser on laptop and mobile.

But as a KDE user, seriously, fuck it. It’s a mess.

I don’t. I love Pixels and like many of their cloud services, although I’m pissed at them for killing some of them (the usual list, you know: Inbox, greader, play music).

And although I’m a big advocate for FOSS, I can’t see myself giving up the camera prowess by switching to something like Graphene, for example.

But I’m well aware that I’m sharing plenty of data with them (some of which I find useful, like location history allowing me to go back in time), and that they can disable my account anytime. That’s why I’ve started doing regular Takeouts of data, and backing them up on a separate hosting provider. My Google Drive holds ALL my documents and files, so on top of keeping a local copy on my drive, I also incrementally backup the entire folder on a separate host provider everyday.

I don’t wanna repeat myself, but: 7840u for the next few years, then I hope RISC V will be mature enough to kick some ass (and that framework releases a board for it).

That’s all I dream of.

So exciting!

We need a clone for that site, maybe find a way to torrent all those apks. Right now that’s a single point of failure, and it’s not like they OWN that content, right?

I tried oh-my-bash with some fancy theme, but went back to plain old bash from my distro since suggestions for autocomplete had suddenly started to lag. Went back to default and it’s as quick as ever to suggest.

I’m not willing to trade efficiency for bells and whistles

That’s why in Italian it’s feminine.

There, problem solved!

😄

For me, just one word. Plastic.

Was gonna say this. Why TF is list not -l as…everywhere else?

Your single command is just an “&&” away

I don’t even sort them in folders anymore, just make sure I add tags to them when saving, then use search

I am

It happens all the time in the magical world of closed source, too.

Ever heard about the iOS vs Android fights? How people shame Android users for being green bubbles?

It’s just the extension of the my camp vs theirs applied to the tech field, nothing new.

Any modern browser will probably kill your setup anyway.

Google Sans Text, Cabin, Fira Sans, Roboto, Noto

For monospaced Jetbrains Mono, Fira Code, Iosevka

Laptops usually have a dedicated key to turn off the screen, no?

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.

Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.

I don’t see the bloat.

I’m also just a normal tech person, so my answers may be inaccurate.

My understanding is:

1. ARM seems superior in the mobile computing domain where efficiency matters more than raw power. I wonder if that’s related to the RISC vs CISC instructions… if that’s the case, having an open architecture alternative to ARM would allow any manufacturer to create their CPU designs without having to pay a hefty fee to ARM. Should bring more competition and won’t keep manufacturers hostage of ARM. If ARMs raises their royalties 1000x, Apple, Qualcomm etc just have to comply for lack of alternatives, and consumers end up paying the price. This won’t be possible with RISC-V
2. I can definitely see this happening, or at least having the option. OSs and apps will have to build for that new architecture of course, which takes time and money. I’m personally particularly excited about laptops
3. I guess. I don’t think it’s ever impossible to do this, it’s always a matter of how much of an impact it has on performances

If I said something stupid, please let me know, I’d like to learn about this!

Well look at that, no one seems to mention opensuse/Tumbleweed.

Great sign 👍🏻

Fedora also unscathed.

Two of my favorites, if not my absolute favorites.
