  • Can confirm

  • For the most part probably not, but Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility so I imagine some of this code still lives on in Windows

    Though you should take this with a grain of salt, since I'm saying this as someone who 1. never looked at Wine source code 2. used the Windows API only once, for a very small program 3. is still learning programming, so I wouldn't call myself a coder (yet) either

  • Probably yeah, but now they've officially released it under the MIT license so stuff like Wine could now potentially borrow some code to improve compatibility with Windows

  • Smoking. It's literally a drug and causes lots of health issues like increased lung cancer risk, but the worst part is that if someone smokes near you then you also inhale some of the toxins even if you yourself don't smoke. And in my country it's common to see people smoking on the streets. Combine this with air pollution and yikes

  • I choose 1, 2, 9 (red, cyan, black)

    I'd love to be a catgirl, and not having to sleep would give me lots of extra free time

  • Or as I've recently taken to calling him, GNU plus Terry Pratchett

  • This actually happened to me btw. I am now in the afterlife and my soul has been cursed to configure NixOS & Nix Home Manager for all eternity

  • No, but VPNs are a false illusion of privacy. When you use a VPN, you're really just shifting your trust from your ISP to the VPN company. And governments can just force both to give them the data they have about you

  • I would add:

    cheat - a tool that lets you make and use your own cheatsheets

    gomi - replacement for the rm command that has a trashcan, so if you accidentally delete something important you can just restore it

    bat - modern cat, with features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc

    eza - modern ls, with cool features like file icons

    broot - a different than ranger/lf approach to navigating folders

    mdr - a markdown viewer

    Also, I think you should add a note that ranger should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch

  • I volunteer to be a test subject (still cis tho)

  • NixOS. There are lots of great things about it (like atomic upgrades, easy rollbacks, no dependency hell, safely mixing stable and unstable packages, and more) but it's killer feature is that (almost) everything about the system is specified in a single config file

  • Helix

    I'd describe it as "NeoVim for people who don't want to spend time configuring it". It has syntax highlighting (for pretty much any language you can think of) and LSP support out of the box. And the config file is just a TOML file. Here's my current config for example:

     toml
        
    theme = "monokai_pro_spectrum"
    
    [editor]
    line-number = "relative"
    middle-click-paste = false
    
    [editor.statusline]
    mode.normal = "NORMAL"
    mode.insert = "INSERT"
    mode.select = "SELECT"
    
      

    That's it. No need to deal with Lua or VimScript

    Also using commands after typing the : is easier than in NeoVim since Helix will show you a list of available commands and a description of the closest match (or the one you choose from the list with the tab key). It looks like this:

    I use Helix for quickly editing files and coding

  • I'm not willing to use it even while it's still free, so no. Mastodon FTW

  • I was talking about FF on PC, but I'll try this tomorrow

  • No, I just assumed that it could break things

  • Oh thanks, I didn't know about unbranded builds

    Also, regular FF stores settings and profiles in ~/.mozilla/firefox, do you know where unbranded builds of FF store them?

    Edit: nvm someone else in this thread said to open about:profiles, and the path to profile folder is there
