one thing lsd can do that is AFAIK unique amongst ls-type tools: report actual file size on directories

worth having installed for this feature alone

I got into zsh because there was all this flashy oh my zsh stuff. But I am thinking of moving back to bash, because GPL and liberty. I don’t really use all the fancy zsh addons or whatever. And I don’t do enough advanced scripting stuff to notice the difference. I’ve also heard fish has a lot of useful features.

I’m not an admin but someone else here pointed out that this would probably be a bad choice for an admin. You can’t just go installing whatever toys you prefer on every system, especially if it isn’t yours. An admin has to be very comfortable with standard tools. Maybe more like a developer (which I’m also not) who spends a lot of time on one system which they control.

I’ve been using xfce for years and I’m barely ever even tempted to give anything else a go. xfce is the perfect DE for me and I just stumbled into it. Maybe you stumbled in to your perfect shell.

The GUI is “graphical user interface”. The cli is “command line interface”.

In the GUI you have different DEs/DMs/WMs and people have strong feeling about them. Even though you can execute commands in all of them about equally Ya?

Well the shell is the DE for your terminal.

they should rename it GINP (GINP Is Named Properly). Then we don’t have to go to war renaming GTK

somebody forked gimp a few years ago but I don’t think they had the steam to keep up

Can’t we just find a new way of monetize stuff without ads?

Yes it’s called taxation and public funding.

Governments should prioritize floss projects when running their infrastructure and other projects. Our money is paying for these projects. We should have access to all the products of that labor.

Furthermore they should give out money for non-business cases like games and other stuff just like arts funding.

We have private corps stepping in to do this sort of thing with “google summer of code”. But it would be better through some nominally democratic structure.

In all cases governments and their agents should be good floss community members. “Free like puppies”

is keybase still a thing?

edit: nm the post say it was acquired by zoom. i guess i lost the bet i made with myself that it was a crypto scam.
