  • a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I'm unironically curious. it's a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it's closed for unregistered readers, it's typesetting sucks ass... the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I'd much rather pay directly to the authors.

  • run with --password-store=basic flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a .desktop file with the proper Exec= field. let me know if you need more details.

    UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.

  • Maybe. In any case I try to never infer someone's tone from text interactions since it's always faulty and lacks human dimension. By default I just assume people actually mean what they write. I think we get (on average) more aggressive, and tend to show less empathy when not talking face to face.

    Also... The term "American left-wing" is offensive for a Marxist like myself. :D

  • Guys, guys... You're over-ideologizing a very simple humane request. I was asked nicely and respectfully -- I tried to respond in the same way. Simple as that. I'm usually not regulating my personal communications with others in terms of laws and amendments.

  • i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i'm usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).

    PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: "nmtui that does not rape your eyes."

  • How much do you think I earn to afford paying for Office or Adobe? :) i’ve never paid for any of those, even though I’ve been using Adobe since CS5.

    As for donating: i agree, for now i sometimes help in contributing to the codebase in a bit smaller apps i actually can fix things in.

  • I used WPS, it was worse than Libre from the usability, plus quite bloated with all sorts of stuff (luckily, I don’t have to pay for the Office, and will never actually do that willingly). Haven’t used the other two, however, will have a look, thanks!

    Both GIMP and Krita are very nice and decent, just not powerful enough for many things I need photoshop for. Inkscape is actually much closer to Illustrator (not as powerful, but still), so that might be the only one with the “getting used to it” issue.

    Actually, one other thing I should have mentioned, is that I also transited from using Premiere Pro to Kdenlive (and sometimes even Blender for very light video editing). Kdenlive is an amazing success story for KDE, hope that happens to Krita as well.

    PS. The name GIMP sounds amazing! Love it, they should never change it )

  • This has been some time ago. Because of the apps I mentioned I had to transit after a week of usage. But in that week, it was kinda nice. I don’t think from the upkeep standpoint it’s too different from other distros. Like I said, the main hard-to-overcome issues come from hardware support, often due to vendors unwilling to release drivers for Linux. But most of the major vendors (intel, amd, nvidia, etc.) have decent linux support nowadays, even not considering the myriad of open-source drivers.

    I was also genuinely surprised with how well DEs nowadays support touchpads, and how customizable the gestures can be. That being said, ofc like I said, some of the apps do not release Wayland support (mainly the electron-based ones).

    In short, lots of things are a bit more complicated than on Mac or Windows, but a lot of other things are much more straightforward and customizable.

  • yes, i think we can all agree at least on the last point: that developing forward as a community, any Linux is better than corporate OSs. not because they're evil products of capitalist agenda (even though that's the case), but because developing them allows you to have a choice, and also incentivizes large companies to meet these security and freedom standards.

  • yeah, i mean apart from people satisfying their masochistic desires and highlighting their moral superiority by using CLI (look mama, ima hacker), Arch is genuinely a great OS. and, honestly, like i argued in my post, not as "masochistic" to install as people paint it to be.

  • in my case it was kinda easy, since they were actually linked in the Arch wiki directly!!! but, yes, i guess in general it might be an issue. maybe look for keywords such as "easyeffects profile

    <YOUR SPEAKERS>

    " or something along these lines. you can also play around a little with the app to find the settings that work for you.

  • agree, yes, especially the ProtonDrive configured through rsync: i really need it to be reliable, since i often travel and absolutely need my documents synced automatically with my PC. even in the early versions of ProtonDrive windows/mac app, it was often not syncing, and i would find myself on the road need to download a few gigs worth of slides and pdfs.

  • totally understand it. it took me about a full day to setup everything the way i liked (i'm also quite picky when it comes to usability), but honestly the next time i do it, i can probably do it in a couple of hours, since i now know all the ins and outs.
