I haven’t used base Firefox in years, tbh. I’m sure that there’s honestly no harm or foul here, but I’m not risking it anyway. I was using Zen, but Zen bloated itself so fast. You can now visually see a huge difference when switching from Zen to Floorp, so now Floorp is my number one again. Its a shame because Zen is gorgeous, but it was twenty times faster literally just two months ago. I can say for now that both Zen and Floorp don’t ask you to agree to the ToS.

For android I’ve been using Fennec. Its taken the mantle of Mull since Mull shut down and has everything you could want in a mobile browser. I have tried Ironfox, too, and its not too bad, but it has issues when opening through other apps and a lot of browser based logins don’t recognize inside their apps when you login through it. Two more honorable mentions for Android: Iceraven and Fulguris. Iceraven is a slightly more stripped down Fennec with less search engines and such, and Fulguris is it’s own thing, but has some of the problems that Ironfox does.

Oooh. I can have my Breath of the Wild time of day wallpapers again? I had something setup on Windows where three wallpapers (BotW landcape day, night, and sunset/rise) would change five times a day depending on the time.

Hopefully the day comes soon when we can just leave Windows behind altogether. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ruin dualboot on purpose with every update.

Just thinking of commands I need to learn, and I think chroot is up there. Iirc, you can recover from some extremely bad system states with an ISO and chroot.

I understand the basics of what it does from it’s description, I just haven’t really dived deep enough to feel comfortable with it.

It definitely got less hyperactive and more fogbrain, as I like to call it.

Godless heathen here.

Me sitting on the couch listening to my clock and making it go from “tick tock tick tock” to “tock tick tock tick” back and forth in my head for 27 minutes straight.

They do, but not all the time. Most people can stay on one subject. With some ND individuals, particularly those with ADHD, one subject is every subject depending on what you are thinking at the time.

Carnivals could have easily become candy making videos, because spinning cotton candy is like the process of candy making on a tiny level, but hey, have you seen them break a candy bubble in this vid?

Candy like that is actually really hot and I bet those burns suck if you get one. I grabbed a stick in the fire once and didn’t see the hot coal on the end, so I could only imagine what molten candy would do to you.

Its basically molding edible magma. Speaking of magma, did you know that Old Faithful is an underground volcano and if it erupted it would probably destroy half of North America? At least, that’s what I heard.

From here we could go onto apocalypse talk, National Parks, or even the Yellowstone TV series. The world is your oyster and your brain will not stop.

My posts and comments here on Lemmy speak for themselves…

Iirc, spotlight update stole a bunch from Alfred, but Alfred can still do way more. So far I’ve used:

Windows:

• Keypirinha
• Flowlauncher

Linux:

• Ulauncher
• Albert
• Rofi (more specifically, Rofi Wayland)

Out of them all, Rofi is the most complex, but the most rewarding. I have a Rofi script launcher that I found and edited from github here.

So far I’ve managed to edit the lock and logout script to work on Wayland KDE and then downloaded rofi-games to slot it into where the window switcher should be (its great, has all my Steam titles, Lutris titles, and even my Prism Launcher modded Minecraft instances).

Meta-Space will bring up my power menu to shutdown, logout, etc. Alt-Space will bring up the app launcher, but I can shift-arrow to filesystem to browse for documents or folders to open, commands to run simple terminal commands, or rofi-games to launch any game.

I’m short a window switcher, but it doesn’t seem to work on Wayland afaik. I’m more used to alt-tabbing anyway.

Here’s my anxiety/ADHD journey:

Lexapro: Could not orgasm. My elbows became weirdly restless and I couldn’t sleep for more than four hours. Started becoming manic. I didn’t want to commit suicide, but the idea didn’t really upset me, either.

Zoloft: Everything with the Lexapro except the anorgasmia.

Wellbutrin: Angry as all hell for two weeks, then that gave way into a drooling stupor where I was content to just do nothing. At least with my ADHD I could do half of something.

Duloxetine: Ever wanted to sleep more than a day? Take this. I couldn’t stay awake for more than two hours at a time before sleeping 5-10 hours again. Also had a side effect called “excessive, disrupting, and disturbing yawning”. I’d have yawn attacks that would last 20-30 yawns. They were actually kind of frightening.

In the end I wound up going back to Kratom. None of the above worked for me. I seemed to have every side affect in the book.

Edit: I will make an honorable mention for Hydroxyzine. Its like a super benadryl. Its like… part anti-histamine, part anti-anxiety, and part pain reliever. Its generally super safe; it doesn’t mess with your body’s chemical balance.

That means you can take a hydroxyzine with most other meds and safely drink on it (it does compound the dizzyness and sleepyness so do NOT drive). Here’s the good part: with ADHD one standard pill will put you into a calm focus and you’ll feel awake (roughly 4-6 hours). Two at bedtime has the severe side effect of pillow drooling. You’ll go night night and it won’t force you to sleep (which tends to give me even worse panic attacks).

And it is EXTREMELY easy to get a prescription for, since its probably one of the safest and least mind altering anti anxiety you can take.

Yeah, I was just thinking this needs a lot more upfront info. I mean, kudos for the site that harkens back to the 90’s infomercial era and keeping it comfortable for those generations, but a page with some specs and actual info would go nicely with that.

I mean, I just plug the drive in once every week or so, move any new personal, irreplaceable files to the drive via whichever file manager I fancy at the time, and then set it aside for next backup.

There’s no replacement for physically backing up your data. Automation can even be the cause of file loss. Take it from someone who has spent days recovering their files via disk recovery tools.

External drives are camping kits for PCs. If you have one, then it doesn’t matter if you lose your system, just reinstall or install something new, open your camping kit and make camp. Make a dotfiles repository if you want to save your home and app configs.

Windows and Mac is like a long term home ownership with a car, kids, partner, and too many bills to be free again. Linux is a nomad life. Nothing is for certain and you could lose your tent in a thunderstorm if you don’t stake it down properly.

Also, Timeshift is a very rudimentary and first-layer protection. Something that got configured wrong could have been configured wrong months ago and you may not have caught it at the time and all the restore points you’ve kept could have the same problem.

I’m not trying to be mean here, but if I’m reading the meaning of this post correctly, it feels like you really haven’t dived that far into open source. There are thousands of FOSS projects that do exactly as you say, and yes, some get branded and bloated.

But like… that doesn’t mean that what is out there needs to strip away anything. It just means that you have to keep looking and possibly contributing even if its just reporting bugs.

For example, Firefox. Have you even checked around? Falkon, Qutebrowser, Ladybird (still in alpha), Nyxt; there’s a handful of QTWebEngine browsers already doing just fine. Not to mention the plethora of stripped down Firefox forks for both desktop and Android like Fennec, Ironfox, Floorp, Firedragon, and Zen. There’s also a stripped down base Chromium browser, which I believe is de-Googled.

I’m just not quite sure what you want to achieve here.

Me: …I forgot what I was going to put here, but rest assured it was something clever.

Yeah, it really speaks volumes about the devs. It means that no matter how innocent the package may be or how long its been there, they still pick through it all multiple times to make sure their users are safe and happy.

But RIP Deepin users. Tbh though, I’ve been hanging around Linux forums a while and still have yet to see someone who actually daily drives Deepin, lol.

There really wasn’t a lot of ramp up to it but there were Discord screenshots of his toxic personality being put down in r/feedthebeast at the time and (iirc) one of the devs that actually did do work on the project quoted the whole “poly” thing. Dunno if there was a screen of it, though.

But even before that, there was apparently some horrible stuff that MultiMC did that resulted in PolyMC and other forks in the first place. That whole application has a shady past, tbh.

I’m just trying to say, use Hyprland if you like Hyprland. There WILL be a fork of it someday. That is always guaranteed to happen when a dev becomes a piece of shit. Its all about when it is going to happen, but by all means move over to the fork when it does.

As long as its open source and money does not change hands, you are in no way directly supporting a fascist dev. Once that software is on your PC that software is yours to do what you want with it, not the dev’s. By all means, design your Hyprland as pro-trans with trans flag colors. I endorse that wholeheartedly, in fact. 🏳️‍⚧️

I just don’t like when people get auto-labeled for something they use or do. Its basic stereotyping and it drives me nuts. A lot of people just don’t want to give the benefit of the doubt to others before even getting to know them. Getting branded because of a piece of software you enjoy is just… its up there, at any rate. I really can’t put words to how frustrated it makes me. I don’t even use Hyprland (I did try it, though). I run KDE because I’m a dirty mouse user. I’m much too smoothbrain for a tiling WM.

Absolutely this. Too many people think that because you use some open source software from some fascist dev that “obviously you’re fascist, too”.

Bigotry: obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

Hating on Hyprland users that know what’s going on but still really like the software fits this definition. Plus, isn’t the biggest kick in the face having the exact people you hate use and enjoy your software?

This is exactly why I switched from PolyMC to Prism Launcher. The PolyMC dev was a fascist prick and an anti-gay/trans activist. His fear was that PolyMC was “going to get taken over by the gays due to the name having Poly in it (as in polysexual)”, so he started banning all the devs who disagreed with him or even made a joke about it.

Those devs forked the project and, to rub salt in the wound, made the icon rainbow. But guess what? Its the same software. They forked it because they still liked it and wanted to use it. The software itself had absolutely nothing to do with the dev.

I love list launchers, but I just can’t stop using Kvaesitso. It has a list mode for apps and one optional dock for your first x amount of favorites. But it really shines when it comes to widgets. Swipe up to go through a widget list.

I need to have my two coffee timers and one tea timer widget as well as my step counter and audiobook player, so I need something with widgets and Kvaesitso does it so well.

Same, but rather than not wanting to pay its more like I can’t afford to pay.
