I’m truly grateful that I wasn’t born in an era in which I’d have to wipe my ass with a sponge on a stick

Are there cross instances communities in Lemmy? How does that work?

I’m Brazilian and, although I’m not in the hottest area, summer easily hits 40°C, so yeah, 25°C is not perfect, that would be 20°C, but is pretty good still

I tried it out, and it was so cumbersome to install packages that I gave up. I understand its application in servers, but for home computers it’s a pain in the ass

Why are these hard to understand editors still the default on most distros and flavors

I think nano is usually the default nowdays. Nano os pretty minimal and has it’s keybinds always on display so you don’t need to memorize them.

Why haven’t they reinvented themselves with easier to understand shortcuts?

Nothing about vim and alternatives feels intuitive or easy to use

(Neo)vim doesn’t need to reinvent itself to be more accessible, because it does what it does very well. I’m a web dev and have used vscode like anybody else for a long time. I decided to try neovim because vscode was performing badly, but kept me using it because of how good the developer experience is. Once you learned how to use it, there is just nothing better.

but when every other software with keyboard shortcuts agrees on certain easy to remember standards, I don’t quite understand how software that goes against all of that hasn’t been replaced or hasn’t reinvented itself in newer versions

In a way, it has been replaced. Most people will use a user friendly IDE and ignore vim. The thing about vim is that it does things in a fundamentally different way than any other editor, so reinventing itself would mean loosing everything that makes it good, then you better off using something else.

Then again, I have no idea what the difference between vi, vim, emacs, and nano are

Nano is a simple, easy terminal text editor; vi, vim and neovim are three versions of the same quirky and hard, but very good text editor/IDE; emacs is a quirky, but kinda bad editor that has amazingly good extendability.

Here it is

Don’t do your own research, just believe in the Current Thing™. Just trust the Scientists™, they are smarter than you.

That looks very good, thanks for sharing it

I recently started exploring wayland and arch, installing a compositor (Hyprland) and module by module as a go. It’s unnecessarily hard but I’m learning a lot from it.

The thing that surprised me the most is the amount of components and projects that are GTK based. I always thought that GTK was a Gnome thing, but it’s very much alive outside it as well.

Better: don’t connect your cameras to the internet

I’m a libertarian in Brazil, so my takes may be different from yours (I’m not even sure if the word means the same thing for me and for native English speakers).

This is the far right libertarianism, which has essentially become an extremist, authoritarian form of capitalism. In essence, those with immense power tell us that nobody has any right to oversight and regulation over others. Their power becomes insurmountable, and their control over the economy becomes absolute. We live according to the standards they provide, because we have no alternative.

Big corporations (which, I agree, are a cancer to society) lobby regulatory powers to weaken local and mid business and to evade taxes in ways small business simply can’t, that’s the source of their power. A lack of government regulation would not be good for them, because it would empower their competition, and that’s the last thing they want.

I don’t see how any system could succeed, considering the circumstances.

To me, the big problem with libertarianism is that it requires a big level of maturity from the population. It requires private regulatory and certification companies, union of workers to seek working rights in a non-violent way, and people to support charity initiatives that help the poor and endangered. All of that is not impossible, but people are very used to that being a government responsibility, it won’t happen over night

As a libertarian, I don’t trust these billionaires a single bit to do it.

They are not libertarians, they don’t care about the free market, small local business, regulatory and certification companies, or what else. They are very happy to lobby the government to enforce any anticompetitive practices that will benefit them in the long run. They probably just want a new way to evade taxes, they don’t give two fucks about libertarianism.

Sadly, tech bros won’t see through it and will hype anything these clowns do.

Does it index the colors?

Gotta gamba

“Serving suggestion: just don’t” lmao

Such wise words

Verse for the win. I’ll be taking the top bed tho

This is a very useful, very well done chart, congratulations.

But what a mess is FHS. Easily the worst thing of linux design for me

What a nice wallpaper. Can you share its sauce?

It’s not a company nor a random strangers responsibility to raise someones kids, and in reference to adults, they can click elsewhere, looking at content online is entirely dependent upon what you search and click.

Although I would generally agree with you, that has nothing to do with the image. This is just a trigger warning, from what I understood, it’s just preventing you from unknowingly accessing disturbing content, not banning it for good.
