I used to install VS code for every new install and now I just stick to Kate. Although the storage impact is minimal, a lot of the dependencies for KDE apps are already present if you are running KDE as your desktop env.
I’m a recent convert myself. Definitely underrated and if you experience any issues with the publicly hosted versions, they are often resolved through customization if you host your own docker instance
Yeah same. I initially used it for YouTube/Twitter but realized that it’s reinventing the wheel that libredirect already created, and doesnt have the same features like pinging instances or being able to cycle through instances if one goes down.
I still find redirector useful, but now use it for things like redirecting away from guilty pleasure websites or when my locally-hosted teddit doesn’t properly handle internal links.
Tabliss is very underrated. Nowadays, I rarely see my desktop background but always see the “new tab” and so “new tab” serves as the modern desktop background. I use great photos of my city but there are many categories in unsplash
Don’t have any stats but I do use tracker control. Having a Xiaomi tablet, I like that I can also extend functionality to system processes as well (at my own risk obviously).
I’m transitioning to self-hosting via Immich and someone created an importer called immich-go that allows you to bulk upload your takeout files w/ the Google Photos feel (complete w/ previously created albums, tags, etc).
There’s an additional step if you exported via .tar files but it’s pretty straightforward ime.
Same. Slickdeals and forget it. The website is a bit of a privacy nightmare w/ inserted tracking/referral links for every deal though. I’ve stopped logging in entirely and just use it for emailed alerts.
Currently in the throes of attempting to trade for a living.
What has helped me immensely is to ‘denature’ goals so that I can measure success beyond something binary like “did I achieve X”. Instead, I will specify more subtle signs of progress/improvement, and track those instead. That way, even when I fall short of the ideal outcome, I still have actionable, helpful takeaways that can assist w/ my next attempt. Repeat ad nauseum until success.
Another suggestion is to read books like ‘Grit’ and ‘Resilience’ and ‘Mindset’.
Feedly is the most user-friendly (albeit also perhaps privacy-unfriendly) option imo. I used them for years before I started self-hosting through FreshRSS. If you are targeting someone unfamiliar, I’d go that route
