    @jpmens and just installing ifupdown will mess up your system, at least it did on mine... Recoverable, but annoying. Be careful.

    #ubuntu (?) #getOfMyLawn (I hate these kind of changes)

    @drwho from the screenshots, that looks more like fvwm.

    i3wm is a tiling wm, all windows are always as big as possible: 100%,2x 50%, 3x33% etc. If you're on Linux then sway is a wayland alternative to i3wm.

    All of these are great WMs, fvwm is extremely configurable, so can be a time-sync

    Polite request to journalists: if you're writing about a study, *please* provide a link to it somewhere in the article, or at least give its title.

    0.99 is not an option? Or 1.0-pre1?

    Don't know about your users, but some people like to complain when a 'promised ' feature is not there.

    Generally (if stuff is stable) release early & often gives a better product overall.

    Todays #manPageDaily: security(8)

    Why doesn't Linux have this? It's nothing extraordinarily complicated, but it does go over a whole list of small things that can go wrong on a system. Brilliant.

    The possibility to extend coverage for mtree(8), to check for permission changes in special files and system binaries, and changelist(5) to backup modified files make this a great start for a secure system.

    Favorite word used: miscreant

    From my perspective Linux commandline is way better then a Mac homebrew is ok, but does not compare to arch, which is beyond excellent. Arch has the best documentation of any Linux, but is more involved then Ubuntu.

    Mac apps are generally higher quality then Linux apps. But if you can find your workflow in Linux then you can do more with it.

    I was on Linux, bought a MacBook, used it with osx for 3 years, then went back to Linux. I use kde Ubuntu. Ymmv 👍

    Both are good distros, but neither of them are easy. Arch is big, and can be made to do everything. Alpine is smaller, with less devs, and less choice in packages, but with a more secure base system.

    You might want to start in a VM, and just play with distros, there are hundreds of them, and each have fans.

    At the end of the day, a lot of issues can be solved by just not being an asshole.

    It's weird how a lot of dudes really think it's some right of passage to manhood to act like a complete jackass, but complain bitterly about the consequences of said behavior.

    Being an ass doesn't make you cooler, more attractive to people, or tougher.

    You're just a dickhead. Try not being that.

    Didn't I see a screenshot of a Japanese pleroma(?) that had something like this?

    Sometimes you want to acknowledge something, but sending a toot with one emoji is too much,while liking its not appropriate. "I have a headache" shouldn't really be followed by like.

    N brought home two bottles of beer. The beer season is ending, and the weather is more hot chocolate then cold beer, but something new is always interesting.

    Kissmeyer Belgian blonde is a really non-standard beer, rather bitter and with an oregano aftertaste. I'm quite enjoying it. It won't find a place in my top ten, but definitely in my list of 'weird but drinkable beers' .

    3/5 stars ✨

    Time to check out the BSDs?

    OpenBSD is small, very well layed out, but hardware compatibility is limited (thinkpad are great, though)
    FreeBSD is like Linux a couple of years ago, hardware wise.

    Both are a lot more organized then Linux. Installing and using is like a mix of Slackware and arch, but done by responsible adults.

    @mathuin #manPageDaily is correct, doing it all lowercase was an oversight, sorry about that.

    Afterboot is amazing. It's the kind of attention to detail that makes you want to use openbsd. Especially since it was written by people who personally don't need it.

    I think afterboot(8), intro(8) and hier(8) are my favorite man-pages, which I realize is Avery nerdy thing to write ☺

    If this is a technically inclined person, emacspeak is so good that it sounds like magic, being operated by a proficient, but blind, emacs user.

    With it you can do anything emacs can do, and emacs can (be made to) do almost anything.

    The most amazing thing is the incredible high reading speeds it supports, which was actually so fast I could not keep track.

    But, this is only useful for rather technical people, not the avarage user.

    That sounds like a terrible idea! So now we're gonna dumb down English to the 500 most used words because using Latin phrases is pretentious?

    Language should be *alive*, and (over)-simplifying it makes us poorer for it.

    #language

    PS sorry, the exclamation point looks a bit 'shouty', but it's just meant to stress the sentiment. And give me a reason to use more Latin abbreviations ☺

    The base install has been checked most times, security wise. All the security features like pledge and unveil are first done in base.

    Base is as secure as the openbsd devs can make it.

    Privacy policy is really a misnomer. It should be called the non-privacy-policy.

    It's amazing how blatantly some companies abuse their clients.

    I hope to find some book lovers here. The problem is that 'books' is such a wide field, one person's favorite can be absolutely horrifying to somebody else.

    Currently reading non-literary but very enjoyable: Cetaganda, a Vorkosigan adventure

    Next: Cicero, on friendship (but in plebean English)
