I think Niri has that feature, but maybe I’m wrong. I’ll definitely have to look into MaoMao later, I did not know that it had scrolling. Thanks for the heads up. It seems like more WMs are supporting this nowadays.

Nice rice. All hail Niri. 🙏

The only thing I have that’s mainstream is Bsky. Outside of that, I’ve been fedi exclusive for some years now. I tried to make a Tumblr, but I forgot just how much corpo ran networks suck. The moment I was hit with adverts for their crappy membership and shop, I tapped out. I have a Facebook that’s only occasionally used to get contact information from old friends and family, but aside from that I’m always logged out.

That’s about it, I think. I consume Youtube through the web client and 3rd party mobile clients without an account, and I get around other sites with similar methods.

Thank you! I was unsure if putting it so much effort was overkill, but I’m glad I did. I’ll probably do some upgraded showcase when I’m fully content with my build, cause I use a ton of TUI tools people probably don’t know about. I didn’t even show off half the features, either. The fun thing about Niri is so much is done for you out of the box, and the config is super detailed.

There are a few things to look out for, though. The choice to use .kdl over .toml, .yaml, or anything people would be familiar is mind boggling. It’s pretty annoying when troubleshooting as well, since Niri is only recently gaining traction. Otherwise, it’s been a pretty painless process. Wayland compositors are so much easier to get started with than the X11 WMs of old, it’s wild. They’re all like mini-DEs.

Understandable, I just have a tendency to raw dog everything I try out with reckless abandon. Probably not the best thing for most people to do. I’d recommend it if you’re curious. I found it rather easy to mess around with, and surprisingly usable out of the box. But who knows, I’m deep into messing with this sort of stuff, so I don’t know how universal my POV is.

If you just want a sneak peak of the workflow itself, or already use GNOME, this entire compositor was inspired by the PaperWM extension.

Mmmmmm I love not being on Reddit

How is this man our president

Oh whoa, I recognize that name! Didn’t know you had a sick setup like this. Awesome stuff.

I know, and maybe it will, my faith is just very low.

Customer support is annoying or whatever but this is horrifying. Several people will die because of this.

I think people speaking on these subjects should genuinely come together to host their content on a Peertube instance and broadcast it to their Youtube audience, because this is a pretty strong use case. To be able to speak freely about these matters and inform people is pretty serious.

Idk. My folders are always decently organized since I’ve been nutty about since I was a kid, but the specific file structures different services can demand is a headache. This is why I prefer more simplistic services without a database, but there’s always trade-offs to be had with both options.

I’m a bit split on it, but I do agree that it can be annoying and when you mess up, services and links you’ve sent to other people don’t work and it can be quite agonizing. It’ll probably get better for me as time goes on, but man it can bite at times.

Ehhh nah. As someone who used character.ai before there are many horrible bots that get cleared and the bots have been impossible to have sex with unless you get really creative. The most horrendous ones get removed quite a bit and were consistently reposted. I’m not here to shield a big company or anything, but the “no sex” thing was a huge thing in the community and they always fought with the devs about it.

They’re probably trying to hide behind the veil of more normal bots now, but I struggle to imagine how they’d get it to do sexual acts, when some lightly violent RPs I tried to do got censored. It’s pretty difficult, and got worse over time. Idk though, I stopped using it a while ago.

Tbh setting up all cool frontends has always mystified me but I like minimal terminal interfaces and use stuff like MPD, Yazi, etc. and it seems like a pain to manage this big thing. I think the benefit really sets in when it’s something you’re sharing with others.

Like, I’d love to have all my documents in a folder written in pure markdown via vim, but hedgedoc helps me share and collaborate with my friends. A lot of people who operate these services share them with family, so I imagine ease of use helps. Tracking can be huge for people as well, but idk I just write down my episode list or have a separate tracker app.

Speaking of, Yamtrack is really good for that.

Overall, I feel like minimal UIs really help me focus instead of getting lost, but sharing my media via Jellyfin is one of the few reasons I want to do this in the first place. I like providing access to obscure media that’s hard to get ahold of for my friends. So I’d say I’m a mix. Minimal stuff for myself, but interfaces for friend/external access.

That’s genuinely horrific. I walk a lot, and I swear some lunatics don’t stop on purpose as I cross the intersection. It’s saddening how people can be so unfeeling without a cause.
