On the design side:

• I like that profiles do not show the total karma count. I feel like that just incentivises mindless posting just to get that counter up (some people love seeing their numbers going up).
• I don't think the "hot" sorting algorithm is very good yet. A lot of old posts were showing up (haven't seen those lately, maybe it has been fixed), but the algorithm is still not great.
• Would be nice to auto hide posts that I already upvoted or downvoted. That option exists on Reddit

You're welcome!

Had no idea that thunderbird didn't do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

Oh I see what you mean, I thought you meant it wouldn't update at all during a normal apt upgrade.

I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.

Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)

You should be able to get automatic updates on librewolf as well (at least on Linux).

Same.

I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.

I've been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.

You can still use programming to leverage your current position.

If you work admin in an office and are able to automate a bunch of workflows with some simple scripts, you'll have more leverage when salary raises start to get discussed.

Will your code be at the level a professional programmer would produce? Probably not, but you're not competing with one.

Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.

You can always use one of the publicly hosted instances.

I would personally recommend having your own. Since then you don't have to trust another party, and can customize it to your needs.

You're welcome!

I wrote a second part on how to add custom filters and redirects (to filter out SEO junk).

Just use multiple search engines. The less of a monopoly there is, the better.

Thanks! Giving it a try, so far it's my favorite.

If you don't want to fully host it yourself (which I think it's wise), then it's a good solution.

If privacy is important to you, ProtonMail has a good reputation, but I haven't been keeping up with the latest developments in the area (there might be other providers that suit your needs / budget).

Any kind of government-funded body.

Any infrastructure or communication channels that has taxpayer money involved should be built on FOSS. Not only for security/control, but to avoid vendor lock as well.

Do you mean buying your own domain, and forward email sent to it to an email provider?

A lot of email providers have that option (with paid plans). For example

Mainly not giving out information about me on all these threads that keep cropping up asking age and where you are from.

I drive whichever vehicle doesn't get my data harvested.

I just noticed, that keyboard was created by one of the Lemmy Devs.

Quite fitting to see it posted here

• ls / cd for basic stuff
• fzf if I want to find my way through the history
• broot if I want to search for a file
• ripgrep if I want to find a file with specific contents.

I know that the last 3 are not available by default, but they are good pieces of software, so I'm just going to install them.
