Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.

No.

It apparently doesn’t like me using a VPN. 🤷‍♂️

If there’s a community here for something and it’s active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.

Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper… Not sure how terrible it is, but I don’t generally serve it to others because it’s very messy.

I’ve always just seen it called a frequency table.

Look around on social media? I mean, they’re not exactly subtle, especially now that Elmo runs Xitter.

I may get hate for this, but… I do this a fair bit because I prefer TUIs for a lot of stuff, and also end up doing a lot of things in emacs because I usually have it open anyway…

I don’t think it’s going to change anyone’s mind either way. Love him or hate him, the orange clown is very good at polarizing people, and most have probably long ago made their choice.

That would be the very worst malware. I mean both the malware that installed it and win11…

Hello fellow fish user.

Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do ‘launch foo’ and it’ll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that’s necessary, but doesn’t hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.

Vivaldi is pretty nice and was my main browser until the announcement about MV3, but Vivaldi isn’t going to support it beyond whenever google removes MV2 from the source (IIRC, Vivaldi folks expected it around June next year). But I saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to jump ship while I could still do it and take my own sweet time doing so. In retrospect, glad I did. Still miss some features like markdown notes and sidebar web pages, but it’s still better than being buried in ads.

bring back flash

There are really good reasons flash died. If you’re desperate for flash content, use ruffle.

No, but I’ll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow…

I usually go with Xfce.

I don’t hate windows, it just annoys me. I’ve run linux in a VM under windows for years and about 2 years ago it annoyed me enough (I think it was something about a patch breaking things badly enough that I had to restore the system) that I said ‘screw it’ and switched the arrangement to linux and the few windows programs I really wanted running in wine. I’ve been skipping back and forth between them since Yggdrasil was a thing, so it wasn’t like it was uncharted territory.

And after hearing some of win11’s BS, I’m glad I did.

You should definitely ask a bunch of random people on lemmy what to do instead of what the doctors say…

I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…

No. I checked it out twice, looked around, and noped out. Haven’t been back since.
