this is the way

xubuntu. stable and apps are reasonably up to date. i’ll probably switch to mint with the whole snaps thing though. fedora is the one distro i never tried in my distro hopping phase though so…

yeah i just read this post header, carried on scrolling, clicked another, and got sent to a sports post. i wouldn’t mind knowing how this bug can manifest itself in such an oddly specific way, but only if it can be done in say, a character limit of 300-500 characters.

well, i eschewed motion plugins for so long, but i recently installed easy motion, to quote “maybe use it minimally so i don’t have to change my work flow too much”. i pretty much gave up using w, e, b and f within a day of installing it, replacing each of them with a more efficient reach for the same number of key presses. similar situation with ultisnips, thinking it’d be overkill for my needs. in other words i was worried it would save me TOO MUCH time pffft. these both work really well with opening zsh commands in $editor too.

my expectations weren’t very high, given how the twitter exodus played out, seeing some of the people who made very bold statements about never coming back… coming back… and subscribing to twitter blue.

you’re never going to take down a giant like reddit, or twitter, or facebook, or whatever, in one swift blow. they’re probably going to get through this. and your average social media user doesn’t want to bring down the status quo, they just want to look at funny pictures of dogs. and that’s fine. the real victory to be had is showing people that things can be done differently. enough people will stay on fedi servers to keep a community going, and by the time the next bunch of disgruntled posters come along there will be more content to keep them engaged

xubuntu. when this install gets too messy i’m probably going to try the minimal edition and install my old openbox or awesome wm configs.
