Why do you use the terminal?
  • This and work are the only real answers

  • Firefish Mastodon alternative
  • Worth mentioning that firefish is a fork of misskey

  • Easy to clean 🤷
  • I would live there. Very little maintenance; very minimalistic. Nice.

  • EGOIST Music Unit to Stop Performing in October
  • I was actually listening to EGOIST when this popped up

  • Websites for file transfer without downloading additional software or apps
  • Why didn’t torrenting become the go-to file transfer method and a must-have for every computer?

  • You could have a natural talent for something you will never attempt
  • Is there such a thing as talent that isn’t a byproduct of a high IQ and personal interest

  • Twitter/X new ID Verification - First Look
  • it won't be mandatory, unfortunately. Would've loved to see another fediverse mass migration

  • Google search is over
  • That realization must have been embarrassing haha. It's okay, friend, we can't be expected to be caught up with everything going on in tech.

  • State of gaming on linux?
  • Oh okay, I see, thanks for explaining.

  • State of gaming on linux?
  • Is there anything wrong with the sneaky way that shall not be named?

  • Is there any way to make the GTK file picker's search faster?

    I've given up on trying to use the QT file picker everywhere, as theming and image previews are broken when I try to do it on NixOS, so now I want to improve the GTK file picker.

    And so I ask, is there any way or extension to make the search faster?

    Watch "Skip and Loafer"
  • update: I just finished episode 3 of the anime, and it's as I expected; I'm enjoying it much more.

  • Watch "Skip and Loafer"
  • I read a bit of the manga and it didn’t really made me want to keep on reading, but I have a feeling the anime adaptation may be different. I’ll watch it.

  • Been watching anime for about a year now. I guess I like it
  • anidb users are precious

  • Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
  • But a negative consequence of that was the centralisation of email providers.

  • ‘Put learners first’: Unesco calls for global ban on smartphones in schools
  • I’m a high schooler and I’m totally down for this

  • Gnome: Rethinking Window Management
  • Very excited to see where this will go. I don’t use gnome, but if it manages to become the perfect mix of TWM and the traditional floating layout, then this could be huge

  • Should I be saying the words out loud when doing Anki?

    I've been doing it since day one, but I fear that if I don't do it carefully enough, it might cripple my accent later on.

    Also, saying the words out loud kind of demotivates me from doing anki as it's a lot more work and gets stressful since I don't want to pick up bad speaking habits, so not saying words out loud would actually be a relief, but I want to do what is most optimal for learning.

    LF: Anime/Manga about self-improvement/enlightenment/monk lifestyle

    Looking for an anime or manga about someone on self-improvement. Could be a monk pursuing enlightenment, or could be a degen trying to better himself.

    Anything about someone trying to improve themselves.

    Thank you for your time!

    LF: Android manga reader that includes image upscaling/noise reduction

    I read manga on the Hisense Touch which has a somewhat small screen, making it very hard to read some manga. At first, I thought the Touch just had really bad display sharpness but then I realized most scans are just too low-res.

    For some manga, I need to hold my phone like 2 inches away from my eyes which is horrible and very damaging for my eyesight, so I was wondering if there's a manga reader app out there that upscales manga/reduces noise as you read (using something like waifu2x)

    I found this feature request for Tachiyomi but it was quickly turned down and as such my expectations are quite low, but I figured I'd ask anyway

    Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server?

    I have an old laptop that I want to turn into a server, but I want it to be as seamless as possible. I don't have any knowledge in web hosting, so I'll use whatever distribution makes it easiest.

    Also willing to venture outside of Linux territory to try those NAS-like operating systems. I just want things to work.

    I called it old, but the laptop in question actually has decent specs. I want to host a personal searx instance, a forum, nextcloud, and, well, I'd also like to run single-user fediverse instances but I heard that they're very hard to manage and update so I'm still not sure about that.

    How can I use the QT/KDE File picker on nixOS, i3wm?

    What I've done is installing

    xdg-desktop-portal libsForQt5.xdg-desktop-portal-kde libsForQt5.kdialog

    and adding

    ``` xdg.portal.enable = true; xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.libsForQt5.xdg-desktop-portal-kde ]; environment.sessionVariables.XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = "kde";

    ```

    to my configuration.nix, but while I do get the qt file picker on my web browser, the theming is broken and it looks like this

    !

    I currently handle my theming through qt5ct with the line environment.sessionVariables.QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME = "qt5ct"

    Can the fediverse scale up indefinitely?

    The tech giants make enough money that they could keep on growing forever, from my understanding.

    But the fediverse? Sure the main instances that get enough funding are going to be okay, but what about the single-user instances 10 years from now on when there's a lot more content to download? Won't they go bankrupt just by trying to annex the big instances?

    And I have the impression that the lemmy giants are going to change over time: does that mean that 50 years from now on, the posts I'm posting here today might get lost in time because the instances that annex it will have shut down by then?

    I probably misunderstand how the fediverse works, but my worry is that the small instances won't be able to hold an ever-growing amount of data forever.

    I spoke in absolutes for the sake of readability, but I'm as in-the-dark as can be.

    How to integrate this into my configuration?

    !

    Just pasting this somewhere random in my configuration.nix gives me an error; where should I place it?

    package in question: https://github.com/an-anime-team/an-anime-game-launcher/wiki/Installation#-nixos-nixpkg

    Thank you for your time!
