Hello fellow fish user.

Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do 'launch foo' and it'll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that's necessary, but doesn't hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.

Ah cool, is it around anywhere to look at?

I'm apparently late to the show...what game?

Vivaldi is pretty nice and was my main browser until the announcement about MV3, but Vivaldi isn't going to support it beyond whenever google removes MV2 from the source (IIRC, Vivaldi folks expected it around June next year). But I saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to jump ship while I could still do it and take my own sweet time doing so. In retrospect, glad I did. Still miss some features like markdown notes and sidebar web pages, but it's still better than being buried in ads.

bring back flash

There are really good reasons flash died. If you're desperate for flash content, use ruffle.

No, but I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow...

I usually go with Xfce.

I don't hate windows, it just annoys me. I've run linux in a VM under windows for years and about 2 years ago it annoyed me enough (I think it was something about a patch breaking things badly enough that I had to restore the system) that I said 'screw it' and switched the arrangement to linux and the few windows programs I really wanted running in wine. I've been skipping back and forth between them since Yggdrasil was a thing, so it wasn't like it was uncharted territory.

And after hearing some of win11's BS, I'm glad I did.

You should definitely ask a bunch of random people on lemmy what to do instead of what the doctors say...

Ah yes, the update nobody actually wants...

Vivaldi has said they will as long as the code is in Chromium, and are planning on it going away by June of next year.

No idea about Brave, I don't use it and never will.

This did give me the motivation to switch to back to Firefox, and later possibly Librewolf though, so thanks Google.

Pity. This is going to make Vivaldi's userbase implode. Ah well, hopefully Firefiox will put some work into customization.

I feel like you'd probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery...

No. I checked it out twice, looked around, and noped out. Haven't been back since.

I don't care what it's called as long as it's a decent distro and does what I need it to do.

This. I've never voted for 'not the other guy', but I will this time. Honestly, the democrats could run Vinny the Wino and I'd vote for him over Trump.

If you're going to not use software because you don't like a program with a similar name, I really don't know what to tell you... 🤷‍♂️

Cheaper than what? Scrounged free parts?

Unless it's all you have. Speaking as someone that's at times been poor af, sometimes people just have to cobble up a frankensystem from whatever parts they can scrounge.

One of the things I love about linux is that it makes this reasonably possible.

Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.

Hmm, I think I like v1 better. It's all good though.

Don't you have anything better to do than fill out this survey?

Personally I use ksnip. Pretty sure it doesn't do video though. It does do assorted image capture, OCR (if you have Tesseract installed), and supports uploading to imgur, FTP, and anything you can manage to do with a script.

There isn't really a perfect replacement for ShareX that I know of.

Nah, I'm good. I'm fine with services being limited to what information they can convince my browser to give them, rather than what they can convince my phone to give them. Or try and convince me to give them permission to access.

I wouldn't even bring my phone, or if I absolutely needed something like that, I'd buy a cheapass pre-paid burner. And keep it off until you actually need it.

Phone: Nokia 5160 I think it was.

Computer: ZX-81

Yep, I and a few friends use it.

NurdRage for chemistry goodness.

Probably depends how you define things. Like, is Xubuntu Xubuntu or Ubuntu with Xfce included by default? How much change is necessary before it's not "debian with added bits"?

I don't. Modern computers have a LOT of resources. The whole 'minimalist computing' thing some people go on about is really odd to me. And I say that as someone who remembers when 16K was impressive. I can see it for restricted environments, where every byte counts, but not for desktops.

"Repent or we'll blow you up. Signed, representatives of the loving god." 🙄

OSMAnd on fdroid can record all sorts of trip data and can spit it out as gpx files, which are just XML and probably pretty parsable in something like Python. That might get you at least some of what you want.

Compiling code converts it from human readable source code into optimized machine code which the processor understands how to execute. For a lot of software you can just unpack the source code, run ./configure, run 'make', and then 'make install'. This can vary a lot and is a simplified explanation, but it's a start...

Check your keyboard settings, should be something in there for enable/define compose key.

I've wandered through a bunch of them. Used to use Florisboard. Unexpected Keyboard is pretty good too. The Hacker's Keyboard for some stuff. Mostly these days Heliboard for general typing.

It does. I use it all the time. I have various window cobtrol stuff bound to alt-keypad keys.

For-profit prisons and hospitals.

Digital. I can adjust fonts/sizes, search for content, skip around, and whether I have 10 or 10,000 books, I can carry them around in my pocket.

Yes. I'd like to donate my body to science too, but I want to see if there's a way to do it non-profit. I'm not interested in helping make someone rich.
