I used to use ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

Omg BB 🤕

Yes, I decided i wanted to learn touch typing a while ago, I switched to a different layout from QWERTY called Coleman, it’s fairly similar but puts the most common letters on the home row or near your first and second fingers, while keeping the position of common shortcut keys like Z, X, C.

I also switched my keyboard to an Ortholinear style which i found helped with my accuracy as i was learning.

I’ve had a good experience with HeliBoard

But what about Only Office?

I use bookshop.org for books, some of the profits go to Indy bookshops.

Otherwise I use Amazon like a search provider, find the item I like then go straight to retailer or manufacturers website.

But you can roll it in glitter

Does one of them end up doing a helicopter 🤔?

In time, I’ve come to realise that people that complain about snaps are not worth listening to.

99% of the complainers of snaps don’t understand their full use case, they are an invaluable resource for servers and embedded systems, snaps support features that flatpak never will do.

Show don’t tell

I mean… They’re not. Not counting the individual or course.

Well said, although I do think Gnome is for everyone, they’re just being stubborn 😜

Well I think that’s the issue here. It’s not geared towards a group of people, but towards an ideal workflow which is the Gnome Way.

If you’re someone that likes to have masses of applications or windows open you can certainly use Gnome, but the Gnome is more focused on one or two windows per desktop/workspace and I encourage you to embrace that way of working too

Again, it’s not about people, but the intended user experience.

I remember when Windows first introduced My Documents folder and subfolders for images, music, video. To begin with I rejected this folder because I wanted my folders in the root C: as I had always done. Eventually I decided to use these folders and I learned to appreciate the convenience of this, including all the additional thumbnails and meta data that the OS provided automatically for those folders.

You’re trying to use Gnome the way you’re used to using a desktop.

If you try and learn the Gnome way, you’ll have a better time.

To be honest I had the same problem when I first went from Windows to OSX, I was struggling, trying to make OSX familiar, but when I decided to learn the Apple way, everything became easier.

Are they the oatmeal guy?

Hah that’s why I love Adventure Time

Takeshi Kitano is a Japanese director that likes to film actors when they are rehearsing scenes and then sometimes edits in those cuts as they feel more natural, he mostly does Japanese films but he did do an American gangster film called Brother, check it out

Truth

This looks nice, but today I just found out about nushell which seems to do it all.

What happened? Chrome happened with massive marketing from Google, it’s amazing Firefox held on like it has.

Hopefully Firefox can make a resurgence, but they don’t have Google money

I mean your observations are correct, but I feel your reaction is sensationalism.

For hundreds of not thousands of years we’ve dealt with it. That’s not just, coping because there isn’t a better option, Humans are pretty capable when they’re not lazy
