  • You definitely don't need to know anything about writing code to use Linux! The closest thing to it is the terminal, which is something you basically never need to use on a standard setup like Pop!OS or Mint. I've gotten plenty of my friends using Linux, many of them have never even had to look at a terminal.

    • Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone

    Jump

  • You're my hero right now, sir. Sync has been missing from my life for too long!

    • Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore

    Jump

  • Y'all I have missed this app. Jerboa is fine but sync just feels so much better.

  • Your instance being reachable isn't anything to do with the sync dev tho. He doesn't pay to keep my instance up.

  • I'm sure you'll be ok sending me your social security number, home address, bank login details, credit card number, a copy of all the files on your hard drive...

    I mean, you deserve no privacy right?

  • Maybe I'm wrong,

    You are. The only way it "creates a MITM vuln" is if you're entering sensitive information into the site, which you're not.

  • Wait since when is it a slur, and for what? I've only heard it refer to a particular role in a BDSM context

    • Docked in desktop mode or game mode?

  • Gamescope is a Wayland compositor - It's running in Wayland when in game mode.

    • Looking for help: Porting Aero to GTK

    Jump

  • I'd certainly be interested in using it if you can do it, would be funny to confuse my coworkers on my next pair programming session

  • Not sure what that has to do with anything? I use picom with i3 already

    • What is your favorite VSCodium/VSCode theme?

  • One thing I always noticed with any of these windows 7 themes is the notable lack of the aero glass texture - aka the diagonal lines that show up atop the aero window effect.

    It's so subtle, but the only way I was ever able to get it working in a Linux environment was with (I think) Emerald and Compiz back in the day. Would be curious to know how possible that is with modern theme engines

    • Impossible to read microSD card

    Jump

  • You can edit your post to add these details

    • Best options for cross device RSS sync?

    Jump

  • I used newsboat and synced the files for it for a long time, but lately I've used a selfhosted instance of MiniFlux. It has a super simple UI, and importantly to me, has keyboard shortcuts for all of the most common actions.
