I love that Joplin covers all grounds - all the way down to a terminal-based version. I've been thinking about switching over to it from Vimwiki

It's been around for like ever. Used to be called XMBC

I remember fucking around with Compiz back when it was still called Beryl. It was I think just before Window Vista came out? My computer was too shit for Vista, but had no problem with Beryl - wobbly windows, app previews when you hover the taskbar icon, stackable windows, desktop cube, etc.

I fucking hate YAML. Everything about it is shit. I have no idea why it exists. "Oop, my config failed because I accidentally used an extra tab" should not be a thing.

Anybody that uses any of that shit can get fucked. KDL, too. I almost used Zellij until I saw how brain-dead their config system was.

Ah ok, now that makes a bit more sense. Yeah, I guess for the sake of app portability, appimages and the like do make a lot of sense.

I still don't see the big deal, takes seconds to drag them into the bin and move on. There are far bigger problems that they should be going after - irreplaceable batteries, locked bootloader, lack of root access on a device you own would be three of the biggest ones.

I would certainly argue that there is a problem with non-critical apps being labeled as "system apps" and being undeleteable. This was only made worse by dropping SD support.

That said, I am still mostly able to use my pocket computer as a pocket computer, which is far more than I can say about the state of iOS, and just whining about Chrome and Google being packed in is such a non-issue when they are replaceable.

I would much rather see a fight that pushes to force unlocked bootloaders, the ability to delete any apps, a way to get end users root access, etc. There's no reason why a phone shouldn't be seen the same as a computer.

I don't understand how Rebel News hasn't been labeled domestic terrorism and choked off.

That neck vulva tho...

A few years ago I used the Spotipy Python library to poke at Spotify's API. I was able to scrape my playlists into CSVs with it.

If I cared more, I could probably hit up YouTube with those CSVs and try to make playlists on there out of them, but I never got that far lol

Why? Krita exists and it's FOSS. I would sooner throw them a donation than pay a subscription or fee for something else.

Yeah man. I don't get it these days. Back when all we had was GIMP, I fully understood it. But switching to Krita has been pretty easy. The Photoshop binds are still a bit off, but nothing that you can't go in and fix up the rest of the way

Yeah, but why would I want to do that? I don't understand what problem this is solving...

The benefit is that I can save a fraction of a second by not having to symlink a config file... At the cost of having to use a bloated app system?

It's not forced, though? I have never had an issue opening Google Play and installing Firefox (and then uBlock Origin). If users are too stupid/lazy to change defaults that's on them. Hell, it couod be worse - it could be like Microsoft where they shove Edge and "news & interests" which are chock full of editorialized ragebait headlines, each one that includes it's own special comments injection that all just help trick stupid people into voting right-wing.

Yesss!!! That's my first thought too. Glad the 👉🏻😎👉🏻 ZOOP is still alive

I don't see the use-case for this that couldn't be handled by syncthing, rclone, github, or whatever offline storage you're using for backups. I think I'm missing something...

Lmao at first I thought this was about Adobe Photoshop CS2.

This person gets it!

Don't all apps have that? Just throw your dotfiles on GitHub

I'd pick the AUR package 100% of the time because I hate everything about the idea of appimages and the like.
