Hawaii. I used to live in Florida and while it has some pretty places and neat things, most of it is generic grubby little towns, trailer parks and lots and lots of rednecks. And most of isn’t very tropical.

Plus, Hawaii has volcanoes, which are always cool.

YMMV.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.

Been pretty good. I only use a few of the things they provide but it’s all worked well. The android app is sort of janky because it’s mostly several other apps, but I don’t blame them for not developing a shiny app for their service.

Mostly I sync contacts, some nextcloud stuff, and use their XMPP server.

No.

It apparently doesn’t like me using a VPN. 🤷‍♂️

Actually not what? And yes, I know. Apparently they think that’s a bad fit for the thing they’re doing. If you disagree, it’s open source, fork it and implement it.

It’s doing fine? I don’t use their email so I can’t speak about that, but… Did you have any specific questions?

Or maybe they just think it’s a bad idea? Personally, I do too.

If there’s a community here for something and it’s active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.

Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper… Not sure how terrible it is, but I don’t generally serve it to others because it’s very messy.

I’ve always just seen it called a frequency table.

It should steganographicaly hide all of their data in rickroll videos.

Look around on social media? I mean, they’re not exactly subtle, especially now that Elmo runs Xitter.

I may get hate for this, but… I do this a fair bit because I prefer TUIs for a lot of stuff, and also end up doing a lot of things in emacs because I usually have it open anyway…

I don’t think it’s going to change anyone’s mind either way. Love him or hate him, the orange clown is very good at polarizing people, and most have probably long ago made their choice.

That would be the very worst malware. I mean both the malware that installed it and win11…

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.

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.
