That’s super easy to fix with tools like entr. That’s what I use when I write Markdown documents so I can automatically generate the plain text file to a PDF document using Pandoc, and preview it simply by saving the file in Neovim. :)

Neovim. No other editor comes close to it.

You need to add some sort of context. Posting a single link without even a title explaining what it is, makes it look like random spam.

When shit like this happens it’s your responsibility to call these shitheads out.

I’ve been using XMPP the past two decades. I use it because I haven’t found something that’s better.

Please use some less shit source than that website.

:D

It’s as simple as:

echo "example.ogg >> mixtape.m3u

While they’re technically the same type of software, it’s still sort of like comparing apples to oranges.

VLC is your kitchen skink media players that comes bundled with basically everything possible.

mpv is more of a minimalist media player that let’s the user add the features themselves using add-ons.

Me personally prefer mpv since it’s minimal in every regard. I have turned of the OSC, and I use the keyboard for everything. I don’t use a lot of extras, but the ones I have, is add-ons I couldn’t probably live without, like yt-dlp and SponsorBlock (for YouTube).

I even use mpv as my music player with playlist that I manage using Neovim and the tool echo (to add new tracks to my playlists).

He did not use the term “social warrior”.

The quotation marks indicates a distance from the expression. They’re clearly used to show that Linus considers the term someone else’s label and something he doesn’t endorses.

While I also disagree with how he have behaved and his opinions, I think it’s important to not make up alternative versions of what he has said or not said.

Microsoft and other cloud services are known for loosing users data. No joke.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

They get paid when we buy the game? 🤔

The first Mac I used was actually a Macintosh with a black and white screen. I don’t remember the exact model. We also had iMac G3 in school and later modern iMacs at work. My wife is also a Mac owner and has worked with them.

I’m no way an Apple expert in any way, shape or form. However. I do know enough about them to know that they’re ridiculously locked down to the point that you can barley call yourself an owner of your own system.

With that said. Apple computers are popular, so it’s apparently a winning concept for some, but it’s not something for me.

Then GNOME seems to be a perfect fit. ;)

Oh! Well. Yes. X11 does not handle different DPIs at the same time very well.

Linux based operating systems is great! However. GNOME? Can you even change the wallpaper there? :D

Not locked down at all? I’d be surprised if you can even change the wallpaper. :D

I like being given a workflow designed by UX engineers, it means I don’t have to think about it and I can just do my work instead of figuring out the best workflow.

And that’s perfectly fine, and probably the most sensible thing ad well. However. The user should have the option to do whatever they want to.

My opinion is that computers should stay out of the way as much as possible. It’s an appliance.

Exactly! And that’s not possible if you have to fight it every time you use it.

That’s the issue. IMHO. A desktop environment should not dictate how the user use it. That’s just stupid.
