I do this too! $5/month to Fedilab, Wikipedia, OrganicMaps, AntennaPod, Signal, among others. Gotta support open source!

B.P.E. by Girls5Eva I had this song in my head all day yesterday. https://open.spotify.com/track/7jYbX7gU0Pe2b0nZR7OSH5?si=P9aE_s8ER3unRraCRrV0dA Surely it will be known by all in the future… hehe.

Why not use bash-completion? The running example you gave is dangerous - you could end up running one or more of the wrong executables.

Pixelfed instead of Instagram, but its still lacking content and useable mobile apps.

Haven’t escaped YouTube yet, but meaning to browse Peertube more.

I’ve been a Linux-only gamer for years too, thanks to Proton, Vulcan, Lutris, etc. Still waiting for good VR though.

FOSS or GTFO!

Daniel Suarez “Daemon” series was fantastic!

At work the only option I had was to get a Macbook, but I don’t like MacOS, so I installed UTM and I run Arch Linux (ALARM for aarch64) as my desktop. It’s functional, but of course I’d rather have a beat up, 5 year old Dell or Thinkpad so I could just run Arch natively.

YOLO! I like my commit history to tell a story of hope, defeat, pain, ennui, and triumph. A story filled with cursing and humor. The code is WHAT was done. Comments in the code are WHY something was done. Commit logs are for entertainment purposes, and for batching changes together in bite sized chunks to make PR reviews easier.

That’s how I do it anyway…

I’ve been a Linux gamer for a few years now. I don’t have Windows at all. Between Steam’s “Steam Play” and Lutris, you can play most games without issue. To find out if the games you want to play will work on Linux, check https://www.protondb.com/ and https://aclist.github.io/. Good luck!

Home Alone, hehe

Watching memes and weird videos with my kids and wife every evening before bed: Daily Dose of Internet, People are Awesome, Failarmy, pwnisher, 131216, You Suck at Cooking, Kotte Animation, etc.

Delightful! Thanks for sharing! I just bought the printed book from Barnes and Noble.

You just reinvented a bidet. It’s like a shower, but just for your butt, and you use it right there on the toilet - it only takes a few seconds!
