  • Github. The / key is usually a shortcut in Firefox (and many other software) for search. But they hijacked it to their search-field that requires you to be logged in anyway. So you can only use ctrl+f on their site.

    For websearch I've switched to Kagi and it does exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less.

  • Hosting a Gitlab for work and for my private projects I agree. The CI/CD is excellent and I really like the way they handle issues and merge-requests. Gitlab is great but quite a beast, so throw some good CPU and fast storage at it.

  • It's a sad state of affairs. I would pay for youtube in a heartbeat if it wasn't connected to the biggest spyware company in the world. But now, even while paying you still get ads and they still track you. The people working at Alphabet are bad and should feel bad.

  • Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:

    The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you've played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.

  • It is a nice look into the switch from a perspective of a windows user. But since he is experimenting there is a also a lot of bad choices or wrong information.

    He gripes about things not going smoothly while replacing his whole desktop environment (when was the last time you replaced your explorer.exe?).

    And clamping to old ways of doing things. Which is understandable but would go a lot better with a little bit of guidance. Why force Chrome while Firefox was probably pre-installed or Chromium also works. Using Filezilla while Dolphin can probably do it in an integrated way. Using Notepad++ while Kate probably covers most of his use-cases.

    This doesn't invalidate his experiences but it does indicate a resistance to switch.

    There is some valid criticisms as well though. The docking station that bugs out or KDE Connect that is confused. We can improve those things, but hardly force Logitech to bring their (horrible) software suite to Linux.

    Maybe he should give it another few weeks to actually feel that while his old ways might not transfer over 1:1 the new ways give him a lot more power.

  • Hmm, the years are a bit faded but first install of Redhat in 1996-7 somewhere as a short experiment, then Slackware, SuSE, LFS, Gentoo, and since then lazy with Kubuntu.. Might switch again soon with the Snap fiasco.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml
