@tootapp Is there any way to follow/unfollow a #hashtag like the official Mastodon app can? Couldn’t figure it out.

@alopix The answer, from my own personal experience, is “yes”. I’m using #macOS #Monterey on my 2014 #MacBookPro and couldn’t be happier. It even enables features which are usually disabled on certain models, like #UniversalControl.

I would be out of a Mac to work with if not for #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher. A serious #thankyou to the team that makes this possible. You enable me to earn what little money I make on an 8 year old, officially unsupported #MacBookPro. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Le gacy-Patcher/

Just a quick shoutout to the #lnav log analyzer. It makes my life so much better. It’s #FOSS for small #server setups and works on pretty much any #Unix system. If you’ve ever used #multitail, this is for you.

“Many logging tools, like Splunk, provide great features but are optimized for large-scale deployments. They require installing and configuring servers before they can be effectively used. There is still a need for a robust log file analyzer for the terminal.”

@folken Thanks for the suggestion! I found #KDE to be way too overstuffed with features for my taste. It kind of reminds me of Windows insofar as I had to disable so much stuff that it felt like a chore. I may check out openSUSE at some point but still doubt that this will make the laptop issues disappear.

@FiLiS I figured you might. Those unreliable laptop features are non-negotiable for me, as I usually only have a single machine at any one time.

@FiLiS Thanks, I’ve tried that actually. Battery life on a laptop is abysmal with FreeBSD and using a trackpad on anything except macOS feels rather finicky. That may be somewhat serviceable for a workstation machine, with a standard 1080p resolution, like you say. How long did you spend setting this up? Do you use a laptop or workstation?

There’s of course #unixporn, which always impresses with the setups some users create. But what about when I don’t want to spend hours on end tinkering with my desktop and system setup? That leaves me with #Ubuntu and #Gnome3 for a halfway decent out-of-the-box experience. All while losing access to professional software like the #Affinity suite. Linux still appears to be unequipped for use by non-developers or non-enthusiasts. If I’m overlooking something obvious here, please let me know.

I don’t see an alternative desktop OS to #Linux when leaving macOS out. for me, #Windows is spyware at this point. I love #FreeBSD but it’s a server OS. Just setting up automatic mounting of USB drives involves way too much manual tinkering. Plus, most #FOSS window managers have a rather off-putting style, exhibiting a severe lack of basic #UX understanding. Exceptions are those that don’t try to awkwardly emulate previous art, instead implementing their own ideas, like #i3 and #Sway.

Regarding the continuing #iOS-ification of #macOS, I’ve come to the conclusion that the gap between advanced and general use will only widen with time. If there was a credible alternative to macOS on a laptop that gets all the basics right, I’d jump on it. A #Linux #desktop isn’t it. #HiDPI support is inconsistent, while external monitor support, suspend-and-resume and power optimization are all hacky at best. #Trackpad support is plain bad. I don’t want to have to be a mechanic to drive a car.

While I do understand that #hashtags are the main channel for discovery on #Mastodon, I’m already mildly annoyed by their overuse. It’s like the original #Instagram: if you slap on a cloud of tags containing every imaginable expression even tangentially related, your post ends up being irrelevant to all. Plus, I will likely mute you – permanently.

@michenriksen I lost count of how often that same exact thing happened to me. A good signal that it’s time to go take a walk though.

@digichelle It’s #Neovim for me all the way. I used to use #SublimeText back in the day, and #VSCode for a couple of weeks. Always came back to #Vim (and staid with) #Neovim. On #macOS, #FreeBSD and #Linux. Once upon a time I even used #Vim on an #Amiga. By now, I want Vim command composition everywhere. Yes, I know: freaking #Vim users. 😛
