  • Use Vimium add-on and have a pop-up to search your open tab.

    Or if you prefer no add-ons or don't know how to use Vim keybindings then type your search query in the search bar like this:

     
        
    % my tab title
    
      
  • I actually prefer that—a simple messenger without gifs and stickers, just plain text.

    I'm not promoting WhatsApp in this case though. It's one thing it's done right, besides end-to-end encryption.

  • Seriously, Youtube Shorts, Tiktok, Facebook stories can go to hell.

    Let's build the Internet again, starting from Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. One step at a time.

  • Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.

  • When you learn to do something, you love it more.

    Nowadays, we're mostly given something and we don't value it.

  • Not OC, but I'm using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn't realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

  • "Comparison is the thief of joy."

  • DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.

    Joke aside, for an open question I'd prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.

    SO is too strict on its policy.

  • The problem with YouTube is that is so easy to just default to letting it feed your brain.

    True, a typical example is YouTube Shorts. I hate that 15-second trend.

  • Mostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.

  • Privacy aside, my Instagram feeds now are mostly filled with posts from random people. I do want to follow my friends' updates but the recommendation algorithm keeps churning out rubbish. If only I could bring them out of Instagram and Facebook...

  • Kinda hate that I waste so much time on it.

    You watched some learning materials—programming problems, historical events, etc. That's educative. At least you learned something.

    Also, time you enjoy is not wasted.

  • Cool. Now I just needs a Japanese keyboard and I can finally ditch Gboard.

  • What's so special about hyprland? Why is it getting so much hype?

  • my nerdy friend that went on that journey with me is a musician and fashion model lol.

    Maybe his/her experience in keeping the system simple and beautiful helped him/her recognise the passion in art.

  • Haha your post made me reflect my journey. I had fun in college tinkering Arch Linux with i3. Now I'm an Infra Engineer (or DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE, whatver) and still do the same job—keeping the system "reliable".

    • The Witcher 3
    • Final Fantasy 7 (Remake)
    • Pokemon Emerald

    Generally, I would feel there's a void after playing something special. The emptiness after finishing the game is hard to describe.

  • Welcome to the endless civil war between Linux distros.

  • Nvim < Emacs + Vim keybindings (aka evil).
