Pity. This is going to make Vivaldi's userbase implode. Ah well, hopefully Firefiox will put some work into customization.

Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.

Personally I use ksnip. Pretty sure it doesn't do video though. It does do assorted image capture, OCR (if you have Tesseract installed), and supports uploading to imgur, FTP, and anything you can manage to do with a script.

There isn't really a perfect replacement for ShareX that I know of.

Nah, I'm good. I'm fine with services being limited to what information they can convince my browser to give them, rather than what they can convince my phone to give them. Or try and convince me to give them permission to access.

I wouldn't even bring my phone, or if I absolutely needed something like that, I'd buy a cheapass pre-paid burner. And keep it off until you actually need it.

Yep, I and a few friends use it.

Probably depends how you define things. Like, is Xubuntu Xubuntu or Ubuntu with Xfce included by default? How much change is necessary before it's not "debian with added bits"?

I don't. Modern computers have a LOT of resources. The whole 'minimalist computing' thing some people go on about is really odd to me. And I say that as someone who remembers when 16K was impressive. I can see it for restricted environments, where every byte counts, but not for desktops.

Compiling code converts it from human readable source code into optimized machine code which the processor understands how to execute. For a lot of software you can just unpack the source code, run ./configure, run 'make', and then 'make install'. This can vary a lot and is a simplified explanation, but it's a start...

Check your keyboard settings, should be something in there for enable/define compose key.

Not sure, you're the one commenting at me, not the other way around. In any case, I'm out. Best of luck convincing people with RT though.

True. It was a lot shorter than typing "This is sourced, but RT is the media arm of the Kremlin and about as reliable as the National Enquirer. And definitely shouldn't be trusted when russia stands to directly gain from painting ukraine as a bunch of terrorists. Especially when a known terrorist group has already said they did it." though. YMMV.

You mean RT? Lol, no...gonna have to do a lot better than that.

Your unsourced claims seem completely legit and have absolutely convinced me...

Mid-2022. I'd heard about it and finally decided to give it a try, though I didn't post a lot. These days I mostly only go to reddit when searches for information lead me to a post there, and occasionally for stuff that doesn't exist/is dead here (emacs, hydrohomies...)

Ground New, News Minimalist, RSS

Because I've never seen a python class before that was 'no experience required' where they go "Well, normally we'd teach you about variables, and loops, functions and operator precedence...but you know what? Screw all that. Head first! YOLO! Write me some code."

If that is how that class is, I'd drop it and go hit youtube or something. How to Learn Python stuff is pretty available if you want to learn (and python is pretty useful).

So how did you end up with an assignment like this while apparently knowing little if any python? This feels like someone signed up for a class, blew it off, and now suddenly has tests and stuff to turn in.

My take: I don't recommend distros like mint because they're windows-y, I do it because they're good 'shit just works' starting points and Linux newbies probably don't need to be spending 2 hours figuring out why audio doesn't work or whatever. Once they get their feet under them and learn their way around a shell, etc then they can start playing around with other distros if they like.

Who the fuck knows? I don't really give a shit, personally...

(Did you see them?)
