  • Outlook for Windows is the most painful, since it uses Word for rendering. Ask anyone from the guys who make e-mail templates.

  • e-waste go brrrrrrr
  • I have 2016 MB Pro with EndeavourOS as well. I can't say I don't like it, but I tend to have quite poor luck with my installs. Each time I get to the customization stage, sth breaks a little. Probably should go pure Arch.

    Nevertheless, on MacBooks up to 2014 it should be much easier and require less effort.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • What? I know it's a bit chaotic, but can be more readable than bash sometimes imo. Originally chose it because writing stuff for sed was getting too complex at some point and saw suggestions to use Perl for complex regex instead.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • Another i3 user here. I slowly transitioned from KDE when switching keyboard layout stopped working as well as some other DE related things.

    Ended up writing custom script for switching. Currently implemented with rofi in Perl, bc I like the syntax.

    I still like having a bit nice gui, so i have wallpapers, some icons, etc. But I fell in love with terminal along with neovim : ) , soo kinda looking for that middle ground between look, performance and functionality.

    Haven't finished tweaking all the configs to my liking, but after that vanilla Arch is the direction I plan to go, since many things in my current install that I have as well as haven't customized work a bit questionably or exist for no reason.

  • Maybe if there was at least one project (other than Grayjay, bc that takes quite a bit of storage) that runs well on less powerful devices and ties to add support for all services community requests.

    Just look at those cases when ppl requested them to add Odysee and removed. (I do get the removed part of thing, but saying Odysee is bad feels like an insult to people who don't want to put videos on Youtube. As if yt contained only good and properly reviewed content, right?). And there's more denied requests like that. Saying things like it's full of propaganda, conspiracies and idk what else they can come up with.

    And other forks just support one or 2 additional services. Kinda reason why I like Grayjay plugin system. Because if you want support for something, you can, even without Android Studio. It already contains more, but it's quite large.

  • Laptop for Linux use
  • And don't get any Macbook past 2014. 2015 and later kinda ditched normal connectivity and MagSafe. I have 2016 with only 2 C ports and a jack and it is not the nicest experience out there.

    Btw, on recent machines the ports are back. I wonder why, ...

  • Zrythm Digital Audio Workstation Abandoning GTK For Qt6
  • I can recommend trying it. Used it on my MacOS installation. Free version works great, but I felt the need for some paid features sometimes (more convenient workflow). But you can totally get job done with the free one just fine.

  • MSI Laptop fan Control
  • Just a blind guess, but maybe some issue with the makefile?

  • How many Germans do you need to change a lightbulb?
  • brutal, but works

    unfortunately

  • best linux terminal emulator
  • I consider st a great choice when using i3 or dwm. Customizing it takes time, but RAM usage is what I usually check and in case of st it is comically small.

  • Linux on iMac?
  • I was quite successful running EndeavourOS on my Macbook Pro 2016, but not everything works perfectly. Still, performance under Linux seems a little better.

    First check what year the Mac is. If it is 2014 and below, it will be easier. If it's over, look online for much more detailed info. Especially batery management, hybernation, wifi, etc. And make sure you can connect ethernet and external keyboard if needed during install.

    I had to uninstall broadcom-wl, bc it did not work, but the default (brcmfmac) works like charm.

  • Keeping our cultural memory intact
  • There's a browser extension for IA books. Haven't tested, but has source on github.

  • Just one more tweak
  • well, i3 never failed me, compared to a bit buggy kde experience

  • Convert Path to strokes, possible ?
  • This, of course, does not work well with curves. If you run into those, just try to match them

  • Convert Path to strokes, possible ?
  • I messed up the first one, sry. I am not sure, whether my method is the most optimal, but here it is:

    1.) Draw 2 perpendicular lines for each straight "line"

    2.) Connect their midpoints

    3.) Snap the guides (turn off perpendicular snapping for this step, it may not snap otherwise)

    4.) use the guides to draw your lines

  • Minetest 5.9.0 released!
  • I guess its named just Mineclonia. You can still try search it here: https://content.minetest.net/

    Mineclonia is a fork of MineClone2, last time I tried them, they were quite simmilar (obviously). As far my experience goes, the saves are not 100% compatible (textures broke, but it remembered blocks) and same with the mods, some work, some fail. I would try both.

  • Average CSS
  • tip: always inline the css so that the code can be easily used in e-mail

  • The UNIX Pipe Card Game
  • I play with it sometimes, kinde like some of the syntax, especially regex and ;. I tried doing regex with sed when working on one personal script, but was getting errors way too often everywhere. Perl did what I wanted in a few lines and gave me desired output, so I just used that.

    Imo, it doesn't really matter what you use for writing code for your personal use as long as it works. : )
