When I use an editor, I don’t want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren’t even WORDS!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

I have – were I more artistically talented – often wanted to create graphics and stickers for Emacs utilizing the noble octopus.

Heh, that was part of the joke I was aiming for; I liked that it worked on both levels.

It looks like you already got some good suggestions that don’t require an additional application but I was going to mention, if you use Emacs any, nov.el is a really great ereader; I’ve read much more, since discovering it.

Well, – you know – less is more.

Firefox’s use of Encrypted Media Extensions violates the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines as it allows for playing of DRM-protected content which can steer people to non-free software (there may be additional other reasons but that’s one I definitely know of).

But it’s perfectly available in NonGuix; I use Firefox regularly on Guix.

As for Librewolf, I’m not sure that’s accurate? I see it available in the default Guix repo.s, latest version: https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/librewolf/.

It was added about 2 years ago. Admittedly, Guix is a smaller distro so some packages aren’t packaged immediately just as a consequence of a lack of human resources; but it also continues to improve over time, quite nicely.

At least as long as you don’t really need WiFi of course…

Hey, now – the NonGuix repo. exists!

Does Home Manager not just have a dot file manager built in? On Guix, I just have my Waybar config. get moved to the appropriate location that Waybar will expect it.

Some services will even allow you to specify files to get injected into the config.; like the Bash service so I can write some definitions out in a .sh file and the service inserts that contents after the boilerplate it provides into my .bashrc.

New Linux util.

Non-copyleft license

I appreciate that it’s not trying to replace cp but the lack of copyleft is always disconcerting.

but i’d stopped suggesting framework to people long before we found out they’re a bunch of assholes.

Yeah…; I was Hell-bent on a Framework being one of my next laptops and telling everyone about them and then that shit dropped. Massively disappointing.

I stopped using iTunes around 2012 and I expect its design has changed quite a bit, since then; Banshee was a perfect capture of it, then, and I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement for Banshee since development halted on it.

Granted, the most important qualities, for me, is for the player to allow tagging within the app. and to rename and organize the files by their tags automatically once those tags have been modified and every Linux developer seems to hate that so my unique requirements seem to largely drive my impediment.

It’s not directly related but, on the subject of systemd and BSD, I found this talk really interesting: https://youtu.be/o_AIw9bGogo

I’m surprised by how many basic things are faster

I switched 14 years ago but it really is shocking realizing just how much you were either used to or sort of worked around dysfunctionality with Windows because…that’s just the OS.

I one time got an E-mail claiming my computer had been hacked and they’d installed monitoring software in my root/system location and I was like, “In my /gnu/store? Doubtful…”

It’s very transparently pandering but I’m glad they’re, finally, coming around.

Guix; fill your life with parentheses. It’s worth it, I tell ya.

If you want to explore other immutable and declarative OSes – as well –, you could take Guix for a spin, too (and you can install things such as proprietary software with the NonGuix software repository, in case that’s a concern any).

Ahh; that makes much more sense.

As much as I’d like to think I’m generally in the loop of Lemmy lore, I’m afraid I don’t understand the connection.
