  • I use Fennec for my phone, but I'm rediscovering Floorp on desktop right now and I'm seriously impressed. Smoothest Fox Fork I've used in a long time.

  • I never stopped. Big corp always lulls us into a false sense of security before springing the trap. I streamed for a little while but always kept me sails dusted.

  • Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

  • As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I've since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.

    Either that or some Linux wizard cast the "every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one" curse on me.

  • Hmmm... so reading up, Timeshift doesn't automatically delete manual backups. Have you tried removing your old manual backups and trying again? This is just a hunch, but I feel as though Timeshift is looking through all of your old backups after you manually create a new one in order to apply appropriate tags. I think that's why it's telling you that the maximum weekly backups have been exceeded; because its checking every one of them.

    Honestly, I'm just getting back into the Linux game after a couple years so I'm probably off, but it couldn't hurt to delete a majority of your old, unneeded backups and check.

  • I'm also playing poe2, but I mix it up with some Tales of Maj'eyal and Lord of the Rings Online. I'm a dirty casual like that.

  • Yeah, that and albinoblacksheep, which came a little later. This, Geeks in Love, and I've Got Some Falling to do were top of the list for a long time on both. My friend brought up Threebrain the other day, too. Miss the old days of watching this junk on the school Apple computers. The groovy colored ones.

  • Yep. At first I was agreeing here. Like, why didn't Aragorn specify defeating Sauron is the oath fulfillment? But then I realized that yeah, if they worked under Sauron once, its probably safe to say if they directly faced him at the gates he may have some sort of power over them. Too risky. Send away.

  • I'm here because reddit is now a useless NFT cash grab and 80% of reddit mods are authoritarian pieces of trash.

    You're not missing much. You could even find a mastodon community you like and start spreading your positive messages there.

    Welcome to the future. Welcome to the resistance.

  • I tried a fair few browsers for android. Iceraven, Fulguris, Fennec, and Mull. I settled on Fulguris, because it was no frills with custom adblock lists and a good built in darkmode.

    However, Fulguris became a headache because any app that required a browser portal login wouldn't recognize it.

    So I moved to Mull. Then Mull dropped the project. Mull, Iceraven, and Fennec are basically the same idea as Firefox derivatives.

    I use a free, massive coverage, open source icon pack called Delta and between Iceraven and Fennec I liked the Fennec icon more.

  • I miss the days when silly slapstick was mixed with subtle adult humor to make a family film for all ages.

    My youngest introduction to Mel Brooks was Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I never fully understood the chastity belt bits at first. Call the locksmith!

  • Fennec for the phone, Qutebrowser for the desktop. Life is good.

  • I recently rediscovered RSS with Read You on F-Droid (I enjoy it's UI and bionic reading). I also found something on Github called Follow that I use on my desktop running CachyOS.

    People should be rediscovering RSS. It's news that you tailor to yourself and doesn't come bundled with the "social" part of social media.

  • Grats on finally making the move! I hope everything works out for you and that you found a beautiful place to live.

  • I like it. To me, it feels like it means "separate, but unified".

    I also just found out that it's the Fediverse logo.

  • I thought hard on this (I just like naming things). I came up with gemming. Graphical Environment Management. Unixgems.

    It sorta works because customizing your environment is sort of like putting the finishing gems on it.

  • Maybe a bit plain since I'm only at mediocre level in my Linux journey, but I use my favorite fonts for Kitty. Recursive Mono Linear and then for italics and comments in neovim I use Recursive Mono Casual Italic.

    Recursive Linear is so tidy and neat, with just the lightest touch of personality. And Casual keeps that style but tweaks it just ever so slightly to a more comic. And they have sans versions of both as well for everything else.

    I also made my own Starship prompt to match my desktop. It runs an easily reconfigurable color palette and uses color coded chevrons to denote different git statuses.

  • Syncthing is great and incredibly easy to use. I have mine set to sync my Obsidian notes so I don't have to pay for the official service.

    I have tried multiple different open source note apps that offer free local sync, but I can't find anything I like. It frustrates me because I love open source.

  • I like how every panel is redrawn, not copied. Doesn't look to be traced either. As a professional classroom doodler, I can tell you that that's not easy...

  • Wow, guess it's time to say goodbye to an old friend. :(

    Using Fennec now, but I tried out Iceraven and it seems like a solid alternative as well. Last update was a month ago, so seems to be active.

    I used to use Fulguris. Thought it was dead (last update 9 months), but I see the github owner replied to issues yesterday. It just had a lot of site compatibility issues.
