Great.

So how do I get there?

This sounds interesting. Something I'd give a shot. But the Github doesn't have much to go by. Yet?

I had to smile reading their "about" page.

Which search results or which queries could one show the average user to make that point?

I mean, I'm not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?

Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we'd be happy with?

Awesome. Now I have the shouting German in my head too.

Zank you!

TIL that this is the successor of K9.

Awesome news! I hope.

You reminded me of fd. Thank you!

Somewhat OT, but some commands can be annoyingly inconsistent and/or confusing as well. Examples:

cp requires the -r flag to copy directories recursively, while mv does not need any additional flags.

find searches for files in real-time based on various criteria, while locate uses a pre-built database to find files quickly. I know they have separate use cases, but for beginners...

The zip syntax is straightforward for both archiving and compressing. For example, zip archive.zip file1 file2. The tarsyntax on the other hand is confusing, especially when adding compression. I mean, look at this bad boy: tar -czvf archive.tar.gz file1 file2.

Wonder if I should post this under !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world. 😄

There is non-smart TVs with a Netflix app installed?

 

There are those that help us relax, chill, and unwind.

And then there are the others. Which one stresses you out like no other?

 

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

  • The ability to resize the menu.
  • The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
  • The capability to create folders with applications.
  • Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

 

Twitter Nick Jack Pappas@Pappiness Why do people care if 9 out of 10 dentists recommend a toothpaste brand? Dentists make more money when you have bad teeth. I want a toothpaste recommended by 9 out of 10 health insurance companies.

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

 

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...
