Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.

Linux has always had a strong showing over there. If I had the misfortune of living there I’d certainly want all the privacy and autonomy I could get…

The kernel recently surpassed 40 million lines of code, so there’s lots of room to add more fucks and shits.

You really like metaphors.

It’s Arch with a few tweaks. For something very similar, try CachyOS.

I started with a single file that had bullet points for each story beat, then those grew into chapters. I then had files/notes for specific things that I needed to remember but didn’t want in the novel itself (character backstories, etc). After a while I found the single file overwhelming so I split it into one file per chapter, that way it was easier to focus on one at a time; when I felt they were all in decent shape I put them back together in one file. I use headings for each chapter title so that I can jump to each one in the table of contents. I’m now doing a final pass for tone and for minor fixes; when something needs attention I highlight it so that I can find it later.

I tried a LOT of different apps but Obsidian was for me the best combination of being very responsive, not too distracting, easy to navigate, and not locking me into a proprietary format.

I also love iA writer but it doesn’t work on Linux, or with Wine…

I’m writing a novel in Obsidian and it works great. Currently closing on 70k words and it’s just as fast as a file with 50 words in it. I also like that it’s a simple markdown file which I can easily back up anywhere and open with anything. It can also organize multiple files and link to them if needed, which is nice when starting out if you use the snowflake method.

I just can’t get into them… I like being able to tile windows when I want to, but I find them too complicated to use. I like how Plasma already contains everything I need and I never have any problems with it. Personally I find the best implementation of tiling is in PopOS where you use a shortcut to activate and deactivate it. It’s really the best of both worlds!

It isn’t the snapping I was referring to, but the ability to make a window span multiple areas. In KDE the window can only snap into a single area.

It does, but in Plasma you can only snap a window to a single area. With FancyZones you can create a more detailed grid and hold a modifier key to make the window span multiple areas, so it’s much more flexible than the fixed layout of KDE. For example you can make a 4x4 grid and choose to span a window across 4x1 or 1x4. That’s impossible in Plasma (for now).

Yeah, but then I’d be using Gnome.

I miss the window tiling one. Its ability to span multiple “areas” with a window by holding a modifier key is something I sorely wish KDE’s tiling had.

Edit: FancyZones! Finally remembered the name.

Sounds pretty rapey to me.

Zoxide is nice, or use Yazi so you can actually see where you’re going.

To me, Lua will always be the WoW plugin language.

This is like me when I try to use my wife’s iPhone. Where are the buttons? How do I exit the app?

I think I’m using Iosevka in the terminal at the moment, although it’s maybe a bit too narrow for my tastes. For GUI I use San Francisco Pro (Apple font)

Edit: now trying Plex Mono in the terminal and I like it. It feels more like a “normal” font.

If they do achieve decentralization in the future I’ll gladly call it decentralized, but “tangible plans” don’t warrant use of a descriptor like that. If someone is training in the hope of making their country’s Olympics team they don’t get to call themselves an Olympian. You have to have gone to the Olympics to justify that title. Working towards decentralization is the same thing. You don’t get to call yourself decentralized just because you wrote it down as a goal on your roadmap.

I don’t think that it’s accurate to say that bluesky is “completely” centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it’s de-facto centralized.

That’s like me calling myself a millionaire because I could theoretically be one at some point in the future. I am de facto not a millionaire, but I also have more than zero dollars. so I’m not completely a non-millionaire.
