ok, and i’ll just buy a house to build wealth like my dad suggested. and dress better than the manager if i want a job. and stop eating avocado toast.

im not.

yeah i feel you. I’m in a band, so instagram is basically a necessity for promotion and communication. getting the word out about shows, other bands will message me for gigs etc

just try to use it a little as possible, and try to lock it down as much as possible in the os. you can do alot in the android app settings.

basically treat it as you would having a conversation near a security camera.

here’s the deadspace i was noticing:

here’s a potential way to make it more compact:

the com@inst 🗨️1🔼2🔽 line could either go above or below the post (ive seen moth on lemmy clients)

oh wow, the web app looks great. always thought lemmy looked pretty bad from every desktop ui ive found

yeah i think putting the com name and the up/downvotes on the same line would fill some of the dead space between posts

just installed. looks great so far!

i don’t think anyone in this thread is saying we shouldn’t have proton, but just that it is holding back actual linux development. I for one love my steamdeck and use proton all the time.

but facts are facts, and there are less games being developed for linux because of proton.

you’re missing the point. the linux gaming market is increasing, but proton is in some ways a crutch keeping proper linux support from games because its much easier to support just one platform rather than two.

about 10 years ago, i noticed steam was available for linux. for the longest time i had pretty much written off gaming on linux (apart from like tuxcart, nethack, emulators…). i hadn’t considered actually being able to play “real” games.

that was before proton, so there really wasn’t a ton of stuff i could play, but i found some good stuff like hotline miami, papers please, super win the game.

obviously now we have proton and linux can be argued as a superior gaming platform in many cases.

ive noticed people commenting on a lemmy post via mastodon is covered in tags and ats, maybe they could filter those or something. just kind of jarring on lemmy

how do you know this was ai? i need to stay sharp on these things

Ive been mostly on linux for like 25 years, but i was using a chromebook for a while bc it was cheap (had a linux desktop tho).

I miss easily running android apps on my laptop. I could install waydroid but its not that big of a deal to me. Just the only thing i could think of that i miss from another os…

Im not on mastodon too much but i think they call a tweet a toot and a retweet a retoot

I use ncdu. It shows what folders/files are actually eating up all your space.

Uh, youtube premium is ad free…

Im one of these legacy users from google music, and youtube hasnt shown me an ad in nearly a decade…

Obviously other than the baked in ad reads by the youtubers themselves

I just started using nix recently. I really like the concept, and how simple it is to “temporarily” install an app only needed briefly.

I was trying to install a python program i wrote, and packaged with poetry (on an arch system) to nix. Pip and pipx both threw errors, nothing seemed to work. Advice online seemed like i needed to basically create a nix flake for the app. I still havent gotten it installed because i have no idea what nix flakes are.

Its probably just a learning curve, and not using nix the “nix way” but im incredibly frustrated and it was a massive time sink for me. I figured pipx would basically work like flatpak does and just install the thing in my home, leaving the system immutable or whatever, and staying mostly in the spirit of nix.

So i’d say its weird enough of a distro to waste your time sometimes.

That said, it seems to have the cleanest updates ive ever seen on linux. So much so i could probably just run them via cron, and never think about it again.

So win some lose some…

Good looking out. I edited the link.
