Backups, backups, backups.

Found this very video super helpful a few weeks ago!

Paseo is still working perfectly fine for me, been using it for years, what features are you missing?

This. People always go “It looks like MacOS” but to me esp the icons just look like outdated Linux Mint/Cinnamon from 15 years ago. If people like ot that’s cool, it’s just not for me.

Love how my heartrate sped up as soon as the three dots animation started to slow down …

Insert “Can’t spell Threads without ads” joke here.

Have no idea if they’re any good but since you ppstwd this in Linux maybe one from the people that do PopOS:

Maybe https://syncthing.net/ ?

Using Eternity as my main but that swipe to upvote Thunder has is damn sexy ^__

Used Adobe for years, made an effort in the last year to switch to FOSS, mainly Inkscape and Scribus. And yes, as other comments have mentioned these tools have some weird quirks and some things don’t work. But that’s the same for Adobe and most other software. I remember switching from Macromedia Freehand (lol, remember that) to Illustrator back in the day and everything felt just wrong and awful in tge beginning (until you learned to work around the quirks?). It’s super hard to tell how much it’s “Software Bad” vs “Not Used to New Thing” and this will be different for everybody as well. But nobody (including the software) is stopping you from using this professionally, I just finished a 20 page PDF for a client with Scribus, used it to print my 32 page comic etc.

Sounds amazing, get more disks and continue!

Yeah, +1 for Calibre amd DeDrm, recently I needed to jump through some more hoops since Amazon stopped delivering to that old Kindle Desktop version for PC and needed to use the Android version but generally works pretty well. I’m also surpised how many of the books I read actually don’t have DRM at all but that is obviously down to my obscure taste (mostly indie SFF).

If all else fails I just buy the book with DRM and then pirate it from the high seas, no harm done (except for the harm supporting big platforms like Amazon does 🤷‍♀️).

Recently found out about

But when I log in via my Musicbrainz account it just loads indefinitely. Seems to be a bug with some server cache on their side at least someone said so in the forum. Maybe it works with another account.

Mh, that’s unfortunate. Do closed-source apps use less RAM? Like MS Office compared to Libre Office? Not sure if it would be fair to compare Safari to Librewolf since it’s probably optimized for MacOS. I think generally programs become less RAM efficient since people tend to have more nowadays.

Typing this on OpenBoard ^__

I’d actually have less qualms with that then sending a porn site my face. It’s amazing that they think this will go down well.

To quote the Simpsons: “0% is a percentage as well!” And that will be more than enough for politicians who know nothing about the topic and are blinded by the hot tech-buzzword of the minute (especially if it turns out they or some of their friends can make a shitload of money with it. I love capitalism and democracy.)

Your ublue-link got messed up, did you mean https://universal-blue.org/ ?

I wasn’t cool enough to figure out how to “just boot into a snapshot” when I tried btrfs a while ago. I mean I did figure it out (maybe?) but somehow the read/write rights where messed up and the snapshot couldn’t actually boot/I wasn’t able to log in +___+ Just reinstalled the system eith good old ext4. It sounds really cool, though …
