Me trying to explain why I found 2001: A Space Odyssey an excruciating an confusing snoozefest without a single interesting point… while also insisting that Barry Lindon is one of the greatest films ever made : I SWEAR MY OPINION MAKES SENSE

phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)English1·13 days agoYes I see what you mean, I only stuck with the same install out of resignation and horror at the idea of doing everything again, but I constantly had the same urge to just wipe everything and restart. I hope your try with Nix goes well !
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)English2·15 days agoWow resetting every few months must have been a lot of work… I never had the courage to do fresh Windows installs often, especially considering how long it took after every install to manually go through each setting, each pre-installed program and each service to manually clean everything up, and with each new Windows version a lot more crap to clean up 😭
I had never heard of the impermanence module, that seems really cool !
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)1·15 days agoRight Wayfire looks really cool too ! Actually I should probably add “check every single wayland compositor” to my list, I’m curious about those based on Mir too
Nope, pretty sure French politics should get a crying face (saying this as a French citizen)

🎉 COLORS ! READABILITY ! CONCISION ! CONCRETE EXAMPLES ! 🎉
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•What helps people get comfortable on the command line?English4·17 days agoI have no clue… I grew up on Windows 3.11 and I thought Windows was kinda lame while MS-DOS was the coolest thing ever because you typed things like magic spells 😅
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)English4·17 days agoSame, declarative configs stored in a repo sound just perfect. But I haven’t gotten around to it yet…
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)English6·17 days agoIt’s been months since since “I’ll try NixOS next week for sure”… Any day now !
I really want to try Niri (infinite scroll wayland compositor), but since I’m very happy with Sway I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Also I’ve been bugging people to try LFS with me for a year… WAIT WHERE DID YOU GO ??? HELLO ???
All that’s missing is a fetch screenshot to celebrate
When the tabs use too much RAM I just pkill waterfox and restart it, so the tabs are still there but not loaded, I assume it would to the same ?
Don’t worry they say they’ll shove AI in it so it’s definitely our world
adhd. I’m considering making at alert for when my browser uses so much tabs that I’m almost out of RAM
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Solved: ~/bin vs. ~/.local/bin for user bash scripts?English3·23 days agoOh yeah it’s so annoying when apps do that and put data in
.mozilla
,.vscode
, and.whatevers
in the home folder instead of following the specs and splitting it between.config
,.local/share
and so on… I have 31.something
in my home folder that shouldn’t be there and It’s a cluttered mess. And a few games not even bothering to start the folder names with a dot… 😡
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Solved: ~/bin vs. ~/.local/bin for user bash scripts?5·24 days agoPersonally I put scripts in
~/.local/bin/scripts/
instead of just~/.local/bin/
because I like to keep them separate from other binaries. To note: even though~/.local/bin/
is in PATH, it’s subfolders are not, so if you do that you need to add thescripts
subfolder to PATH if you want to run the scripts directly.Well actually my scripts are in
mydotfilesrepo/home/.local/bin/scripts
, and I use GNU Stow to symlinkmydotfilesrepo/home
to/home/myuser/
(same formydotfilesrepo/etc/
andmydotfilesrepo/usr/
which are symlinked to/etc
and/usr
), but it’s the same result. Stow is pretty cool for centralizing your configs and scripts in one repo !I’ve never seen
~/bin
before so I can’t comment on whether it’s a good idea.
The excel people will never cease to amaze me…
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A completely useful compulsion I have.English6·24 days agoYOU’RE A GENIUS ! I take eggs out starting by one end and it always feels super weird to have an unbalanced carton, I’ll have to try your method.
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] Weird root permission issue on Sway which is not present in i31·24 days agoDoes the same issue also happen if you launch sway from the tty and not from gdm ?
I’ve never used gdm but it probably allow you to open a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F3, then log in and type
sway
.
Or just use rust stakeholder, it’s guaranteed to make you look very busy 😄
