i'd probably use tabs if they weren't so massive by default.

do people actually use 8 space wide tabs? if so, what for?

halfway_neko ,

oh. i guess i'm using the wrong editors then :P

halfway_neko ,

please do not wear the cat.

halfway_neko ,

isn't that what the upvote/downvote buttons are for? although to be fair, i'd much rather the people of lemmy decide which things are good and interesting than some "algorithm"

halfway_neko ,

yeah. you're right.

it's not like i blindly trust the votes to tell me what's right and wrong, but they still influence my thoughts. i could just sort by new, but i feel like that's almost as easy to manipulate.

i guess it comes back to the topic of the post. where and how i get my information is always going to affect me.

i'm sure other platforms are no better than lemmy with manipulating content, but maybe for different reasons. i just have to choose the right places to spend my time.

halfway_neko ,

i feel a little more comfortable commenting here.

being a smaller community, i feel like i'm actually contributing when i post something, instead of just adding to a sea of noise

it also helps that i've come up with this new "persona". i'm able to be more of the real me than i can with my main account.

it's like half way between anonimity and publicity. this account has very little connection to my meatspace existance, so i feel safe to say anything. but at the same time i'm not gonna act like some 4chan user. halfway_neko's a good girl lol

halfway_neko ,

i think it's really cool in theory, but only the anonymous ones. i don't use crypto personally, but it's important that something like it exists.

cryptobros and capitalism have ruined what little reputation the name had, and it's obviously not going to replace "normal" money any time soon.

i feel like it's kind of similar to the cashless systems that most banks use, but you're trading lots of electricity for "not having the economy be owned by a couple of massive corporations". obviously it has it's flaws, but i see that as a worthwhile trade.

edit: oh yeah, i didn't mention it, but this is another vote for monero (it's private and it's an esperanto word :P)

halfway_neko ,

i cannot delve any deeper into customization, my phone wont let me :(

stupid thing pretends it can't unlock it's bootloader. >n<

i can at least use FLOSS apps for most things though.

halfway_neko ,

(Arch, btw)

Technical: Better, easier to use APIs for pacman. The last time I tried to do alpm stuff, it wasn't fun.

Social: Less rtfm. The manual is good, but it's not cool when people are super elitist (especially towards newbies).

halfway_neko ,

Or better yet, play it blind and then watch the video, and realise you didn't even see half of the content.

I might be an odd one out here. By the time I was forming memories the internet age was well underway.

The first thing that I can remember was some old flash game about guiding a worm through a maze.

That game was unforgiving, tiny me had to be on point with their trackpad movements.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

halfway_neko , (edited )

Deleted my entire efi partition while trying to install some grub themes.

And then my backup didn't work when I tried to restore it.

I have pretty colours now though, so it was all worth it :)
