Wow edgy.

wiki_me, in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

It seems to be working for me.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.

Enoril, in Linux Boomers

Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.

tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…

When I reached the essentially "I use arch btw" I assumed it was just badly written satire.

MrBubbles96,

Took ya that long? As soon as they went “That’s right fuckface.”, it was over lol. I knew whatever was gonna follow would be some unhinged shit…and it was, save for that one nugget of wisdom that was thrown in there about shutting up and using what you wanted (that of course, they wouldn’t follow. If they did this wouldn’t exist in the first place)

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

Then next paragraph…

I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …

Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.

What do I use? Arch Linux.

BTW

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Its a blog

muhyb,

You should lose that “l” young man, because that’s what it is.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

“young man” rofl

failed at reading comprehension? check

muhyb,

“rofl” as you want. We know your mental age and how broken your toilet mind is. You probably get some professional help to fix that. Just don’t laugh at that. It’s no joke.

Look at the username.

JaneTheMotherfucker ain’t a dude, dude

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Thank you =)

muhyb,

I guess I should’ve used lass. Anyway.

superbirra, in Linux Boomers

I mean, even my mother who runs kde 5 has a better desktop than the sad one this silly wannabe post. lol

    I wouldn’t call mint old. It has

    • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
    • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don’t like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
    • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I’m sure they don’t want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
    • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it’s a thinkpad)

    So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you’re a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

    vzq,

    So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS

    It’s what I put on my dad’s laptop, so in his case it’s literally BoomerOS.

    You should really take your own advice on this one. That “article” was juvenile.

    wuphysics87, in Is anyone using awk?

    I use sed a lot

    vzq, in Linux Boomers

    I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer

    Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?

    JaneTheMotherfucker,

    What clickbait? Linux boomers is two words and it is common to call people a boomer if they act like one. Linux boomer describes a specific type of boomer.

    vzq,

    I’m sure there is some worthwhile content in there, but I couldn’t discern it through your palpable contempt for the reader.

    OsrsNeedsF2P, in Linux Boomers

    “I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words”

    JaneTheMotherfucker,

    Let me guess… you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?

    vzq,

    This is the contempt I’m talking about.

    The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.

    JaneTheMotherfucker,

    Nah, I just treat them like equals :)

    rottingleaf,

    Which is the same as “despise”

    MrBubbles96, (edited )

    So basically, “they’re trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I’m gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn’t the latest bleeding edge stuff?”

    Cuz that’s what i get outta that whole, article…that and that you really, really like to swear.

    JaneTheMotherfucker,

    Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It’s the boomers who get triggered.

    sxan, in Is anyone using awk?
    @sxan@midwest.social avatar

    Nearly every day. There was a time when I’d reach for Ruby, but in the end, the stability, ubiquity, and portability of the traditional Unix tools - among whom awk is counted - turned out to be more useful. I mainly underuse its power, though; it serves as a column aggregator or re-arranger, for the most part.

    chitak166, (edited ) in Experience with KDE on Fedora?

    I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

    Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

    Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

    I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

    fschaupp,
    @fschaupp@lemmy.ml avatar

    In case you really want/need some more modern drivers/software,… Nobara is also recommendable stable.

    chitak166, in What is the point of dbus?

    I’m a firm believer that the vast majority of things we needed for software were implemented by the 2000s.

    Usually, people who don’t understand what they’re doing will overcomplicate things to cover-up their misunderstandings. I think choosing a technology before you have a use-case is one of these examples.

    kariboka,

    Hichard Stallman?

    upt, in Is anyone using awk?

    No, but I heavily use perl still… I feel like you can’t really call yourself a Linux person without knowing perl and python both. Knowing awk can’t hurt though.

    sping,

    Really? I disliked Perl for 3 decades on unix and Linux and I’ve never felt like I have been held back by not knowing or using it. I don’t remember the last time I saw a Perl script, let alone needed to understand one.

    Mikelius, in Gentoo goes Binary (packages)

    Been using Gentoo on my server for over a decade now and probably won’t ever leave the compiling front, especially with a 12-core/24-thread CPU making it go as quick as regular binary updates on my mint laptop… But that being said, in happy to see them considering to do this. It’ll bring in some folks who are afraid of (or just dislike) compiling everything from source. I think the biggest packages that’d benefit from this are definitely the browsers and desktop environments.
