Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues

My impression
tldr/cheat: Explains most popular arguments using as little words as possible
man: Explains the entire command using a more technical tone
info: Explains the entire command in slightly more informal tone. Can feel wordier as a result, but on the flipside it connects alternative/related commands in a logical way
Yeah I like it over Mastodon as well. The UI/UX feels more modern. The only downside is that the majority of the Twitter-alternative fediverse is on Mastodon, so I have to run 90% of accounts through ‘search’ to follow them.
The article does touch on some of the main instance’s issues towards the bottom too I just found out.
I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.
If nothing else, the article is great for a breakdown of the features of Firefish. I’ve been a user for 2-3 months and didn’t know a lot of the info covered.
On a related note, I was on firefish.social but it was very buggy for me after a while. Thought about throwing in the towel but eventually realized that it was instance specific.
I have since migrated to calckey.world (Calckey -> Firefish instance that didn’t change its name) and the experience has been buttery smooth.
Very familiar UI over there. Creating an acct now
It’s completely markdown which is future-proof and easily portable to other software
One thing that surprises me is the level of “aha” moments using the additional apps. Gwenview and Okular have so many power-user-friendly shortcuts that are intuitive. Lot’s of “Oh that’s nice but it would be perfect if…” moments followed by seeing the option in the settings and/or programmable via a shortcut key
Hmmm. This is either tangentially-related or an extension of the same issue you experienced… but I started using the terminal within Kate this past week troubleshooting a .bash_aliases function error and noticed that it too was not updating its environment as expected, even after editing the file and running source ~/.bashrc.
I spent 30 minutes only to realize that all of my edits/source reloading were not registering within the Kate terminal for some reason, but were working as expected in Konsole. Once I shutdown Kate and restarted it, the issue was fixed but that seems like a bug and it makes me wary about leaning to heavily on the terminal within Kate (or any other KDE apps outside of Konsole)
Great question. Had to think about it and I’d say for me personally, poor implementation of color pickers is the biggest frustration.
As a technical user, I have no qualms w/ editing the default selection if it’s hard to read due to colors, but I get frustrated with poor color picker implementation. For example, color swaths that don’t have named descriptions when you hover over them. Even/especially the standard ROYGBIV colors on the first page of a color picker, but also to a lesser degree, descriptive hex codes on more nuanced online color pickers. I can’t tell the difference and don’t feel like hearing someone ask why I made the bold choice of making the sky pink.
Another issue is something like KDE’s Konsole has a color picker that doesn’t have clear names/examples for which aspect of the terminal is being changed, so when I wanted to change the bash custom prompt color to improve readability, I had to edit 5-6 different options, and use trial and error to fix the color.
Convenience is the main issue. AFAIK, as long as you secure your device, it’ll do the job
Good to know. I will say as a colorblind person, it’s always a tad ironic because as a colorblind person, the filters don’t make things definitive. It’s still a bunch of random colors that I can’t identify lol
The scratches during the review period makes me nervous. I walk into walls all the time with my watch so that’s a no go.
I’ll wait and see if it’s more widespread and if there’s any xmas discounts before I potentially pull the trigger
Hmmmm. Maybe this is why Debian pushed a curl update today even though it was also upgraded in 12.2 four days ago
That my solution. I have a ‘Sync’ folder on every device’s Home folder, and then I use some aliases to determine whether to grab the bash_aliases file or replace it:
By far, the diff alias is the most used. It allows for a quick check on what is different between files w/o having to open them up
My uneducated guess is that Endless OS pays manufacturers to have their OS installed as it has what appears to be privacy-conscious telemetry. It won’t be anywhere close to what Microsoft/Apple, but in the Linux telemetry world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and so it’ll still have valuable data.
Some of the areas that are unlike most other distros I’ve come across:
To me, it’s akin to the free third party apps that come packaged with many Android mobile devices. Less intrusive since it’s anonymized, but also feels more intrusive because it’s the entire OS being monitored. I believe I came across a headline that Fedora is attempting to use the same tracking software in the link above
This review shares a more judgmental view of their practices
This article has a more positive spin
This is going increasingly off topic.
It’s a free, open source alternative Wikipedia front-end focused on privacy.

My limited understanding is that ARM usually is a lower priority for devs and so software is often harder to come by?
My personal hope is that people start to turn used desktops/laptops into servers.
