Iddon’t have a pebble watch but I find my smartwatch useful for reducing my screen time. when I get a notification, I look at my watch and don’t do anything else if it is not important, doesn’t require immediate answer. When I don’t have my watch, I look at my phone to see the notification, and check other stuff while I have my phone, like Instagram end Lemmy, and a single notification takes 20 minutes of my life.

I pay myself 10 dollars everytime I watch a pirated movie.

Thank God! That’s a relief. I thought I was going to have to redo my entire photo library hosting stuff.

GNOME is great for Mac refugees. Fedora might do.

Can you elaborate?

I look at controls in settings but all this time I assumed that was because I’m dumb. I thought “I was obviously supposed to know how controls work, because I need to go into a menu that is for changing controls, to see what controls are. If developers thought there was something that I couldn’t know without looking at the control map, it would have been in a top level menu called control/key map for me to have a quick look”.

And the contents of the information being copied is basically a recepie for building a machine that can make copies of the information needed to build that machine…

It’s just unnecessary red tape.

Which will reduce the number of people using foss apks, which will in turn, reduce the motivation, and then the number, of foss apk developers.

God dammit!

You can mess up android by installing third party apps, using shizuku, or rooting. If there is a distro as strict as vanilla android is for the average user, then you are right. I’m talking no root, no sudo, only official flatpak apps can be installed and only user’s home directory is r/w.

Even for an intermediate user, immutable might be a good choice, but it is extra unneeded complexity for a beginner, according to my experience with those type of distro in the past.

But people are different. Some might feel right at home.

Developers, yes. Beginners, I don’t think so.

My advice would be, only use vanilla/default/official versions of the most popular distros. Ubuntu, not Ubuntu Studio, Fedora, not (I don’t know what variants there are) Fedora. Do not use specialized distros, for example a gaming distro. Do not use 3rd party repos. Do not manually install any packages from anywhere. If you want something and official repos of your official distro cannot do it, just don’t do it. Do not try to find a workaround and make it happen.

After using Linux for a while you’ll become more comfortable with it and you’ll slowly start moving outside the above limitations. The best and worst thing about Linux is that your OS is yours and you can tinker with all of its parts. But you shouldn’t, at the beginning. If you were to tinker with Windows like that, it would also break.

Went to see my profile…

Yeah, the least believable part of some human transforming into an invisible tiger at will is them being able to see while in the invisible-tiger form. Doesn’t make any physical sense…

Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi

started exactly the same, now using YADM and loving its simplicity.

I thought “wtf” after reading the problem, said “wtf” out loud after reading this comment. pretty neat :)

There was a tweet like that which was mich more funnily worded.
