Meanwhile my school still uses Chrome v109 since that was the last version that supported Windows 8

Every time I need to look up what an HTTP code means I check this website

I prefer tabs because they aren’t consistent

I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I’m working on someone else’s codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it’s tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars

Uses spaces instead of tabs.

I heard that he also moved the CDN for user-uploaded videos to xvideos.com

Not really surprising considering that (IIRC) it’s the default on the Gnome variants of Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora

But keep in mind that voluntary data tends to be pretty skewed

Smoking. It’s literally a drug and causes lots of health issues like increased lung cancer risk, but the worst part is that if someone smokes near you then you also inhale some of the toxins even if you yourself don’t smoke. And in my country it’s common to see people smoking on the streets. Combine this with air pollution and yikes

I would add:

cheat - a tool that lets you make and use your own cheatsheets

gomi - replacement for the rm command that has a trashcan, so if you accidentally delete something important you can just restore it

bat - modern cat, with features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc

eza - modern ls, with cool features like file icons

broot - a different than ranger/lf approach to navigating folders

mdr - a markdown viewer

Also, I think you should add a note that ranger should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch

NixOS. There are lots of great things about it (like atomic upgrades, easy rollbacks, no dependency hell, safely mixing stable and unstable packages, and more) but it’s killer feature is that (almost) everything about the system is specified in a single config file

Helix

I’d describe it as “NeoVim for people who don’t want to spend time configuring it”. It has syntax highlighting (for pretty much any language you can think of) and LSP support out of the box. And the config file is just a TOML file. Here’s my current config for example:

theme = "monokai_pro_spectrum"

[editor]
line-number = "relative"
middle-click-paste = false

[editor.statusline]
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"

That’s it. No need to deal with Lua or VimScript

Also using commands after typing the : is easier than in NeoVim since Helix will show you a list of available commands and a description of the closest match (or the one you choose from the list with the tab key). It looks like this:

I use Helix for quickly editing files and coding

I’m not willing to use it even while it’s still free, so no. Mastodon FTW

I was talking about FF on PC, but I’ll try this tomorrow

No, I just assumed that it could break things

Oh thanks, I didn’t know about unbranded builds

Also, regular FF stores settings and profiles in ~/.mozilla/firefox, do you know where unbranded builds of FF store them?

Edit: nvm someone else in this thread said to open about:profiles, and the path to profile folder is there

Yeah, I had a similar experience

I wonder why they did this though, before the change YouTube would recommend me videos based on videos I watched so it’s not like they actually needed the watch history to be turned on

The only way it’s profitable for someone to knock on your door to sell ANYTHING is if they are obscenely inflating the price (think 100-600% markup)

I agree, but does anyone actually do that? No one ever came to my house to try to sell me something

Pianki (which is literally just foam in english)

Yeah, my mom didn’t have issues with that, but she did have issues with other almost as basic stuff

Yeah, but when I tried to get my mom to use Linux, she kept asking me how to do some things like moving a file, printing a PDF, saving a document in Libreoffice (even though she had no trouble doing it on Windows also with Libreoffice) etc. I’ve set up everything to be as seamless and close to Windows as possible but she still always had trouble doing something so I gave up, and reinstalled Windows. Ig my mom is just less tech savy than your family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mostly yeah
