Says who/what?

This reminds me of Meetup.com dying almost everywhere except Chicago where the HQ is and everyone uses it.

And the spec says plaintext usernames should be rendered as links?

You can’t get support from lemmy.linuxuserspace.show or any other website if there’s a bug in your web browser. You can’t get support from gmail or protonmail or any other mail provider if there’s a bug in your email client. It’s awful how much people have come to assume that clients and servers must and always come from the same provider.

Have you considered a network file sharing system other than SMB?

please dont use chsh

doesnt mean your whole OS needs a different shell

chsh just changes the shell when you log in to a shell. all the other shells are still available and usable. any script starting tieh #!/bin/bash will still run with bash, even if you’re using zsh or fish.

Why don’t they count? The systemd interface has been stable for a decade.

There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can’t be done programmatically :(

This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized --help output. Maybe there’s some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?

I think https://apps.kde.org/smb4k/ can do this?

• gnome/gtk: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/systemd-manager
• kde/qt: https://invent.kde.org/system/systemdgenie
• browser based: https://cockpit-project.org/
• curses: https://github.com/ana-cc/chkservice

That name is decades old. XDG stands for “Cross Desktop Group”.

A “pure” X environment (e.g. startx xterm) also doesn’t define those variables, but many desktop environments do, just like many shell configurations do.

Thanks, I hadn’t heard of that. Time to add a few hundred lines to my dotfiles :)

What makes you think XDG doesn’t apply to non GUI apps?

2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?

just keep the system up to date…

The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows…

Some day most people are going to understand that “I want to post something visible to everyone in the world EXCEPT these specific people” is not a viable or reasonable or even possible approach to communication, and any attempts to make it work are doomed to failure.

I switched to Arch[-based distros] when I realized I had been getting 90% of my support from the Arch wiki for years

most applications on Linux are design / depend on [GNOME’s] components
