Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I’ve since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.
Either that or some Linux wizard cast the “every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one” curse on me.
29·9 days agoI recently rediscovered RSS with Read You on F-Droid (I enjoy it’s UI and bionic reading). I also found something on Github called Follow that I use on my desktop running CachyOS.
People should be rediscovering RSS. It’s news that you tailor to yourself and doesn’t come bundled with the “social” part of social media.
81·16 days agoI thought hard on this (I just like naming things). I came up with gemming. Graphical Environment Management. Unixgems.
It sorta works because customizing your environment is sort of like putting the finishing gems on it.
Maybe a bit plain since I’m only at mediocre level in my Linux journey, but I use my favorite fonts for Kitty. Recursive Mono Linear and then for italics and comments in neovim I use Recursive Mono Casual Italic.
Recursive Linear is so tidy and neat, with just the lightest touch of personality. And Casual keeps that style but tweaks it just ever so slightly to a more comic. And they have sans versions of both as well for everything else.
I also made my own Starship prompt to match my desktop. It runs an easily reconfigurable color palette and uses color coded chevrons to denote different git statuses.
Syncthing is great and incredibly easy to use. I have mine set to sync my Obsidian notes so I don’t have to pay for the official service.
I have tried multiple different open source note apps that offer free local sync, but I can’t find anything I like. It frustrates me because I love open source.
I never stopped. Big corp always lulls us into a false sense of security before springing the trap. I streamed for a little while but always kept me sails dusted.
