Hypolite PetovanI always have a faint feeling of danger every time I use screen(1) on #Linux. Because it is meant to be a seamless virtual terminal, there are no visual hints about the keyboard shortcuts required to leave a session for example. Even after pressing Ctrl+a, there's no indication screen is in command input mode, so it always comes as a surprise and a relief to me that the next command actually does what I expected.
It's a sense of dread similar to using vim(1), but at least vim shows the command as it's typed. On the other hand it's always very confusing when I forget to enter input mode and start typing text.
I just set up a tiny "stardust" VM on Scaleway, so now I have a privately controlled VPN server located in Amsterdam that only costs me ~ $1.50 USD per month.
Discusses #flatpak, #snap, #appimage, #steam, #docker as strategies for deploying desktop software on #GNU / #Linux. Concludes that all fail to serve users.
Looked at the #Linux tag on #Diaspora again. @linux has posted 13 posts in about 2.5 hours (12 article links + a daily round-up link). Of course you know it is Tuxmachines, part of Roy's kingdom of article factories.
This is why I rarely ever log in there anymore. Very few actual people, zillions of linkbots churning out article links in popular hashtags.
(There was one guy that had at least three linkbots that each posted the same links within minutes of each other. I guess he could have done manual copy-pasting, but that would be boring, repetitive, and error-prone. I finally blocked him. I guess I need to do the same for Tuxmachines and similar linkbots.)
@moon@shitposter.club Is releasing a series of "Masters of the Fediverse" #NFTs and the first one will be @schestowitz ... which is why I asked if he was even still here.
His volume of posts on #Diaspora was so high that I finally had to unsubscribe from the #Linux hashtag. If I recall correctly, he posts a link, then one of his sites posts the link, then another site posts the link ... all camped out on the Linux hashtag.
♲ @boilingsteam@mastodon.cloud: Seems like the famous Byuu/Near who developed bsnes/higan (the best SNES emulators) has committed suicide. Very sad. #linux #linuxgaming #emulation #supernes #nintendo #byuu #near
