Been using RSS again since ditching corporate social media. The sites with full text RSS feeds are especially nice, since reading it in your feed reader means not getting subjected to the endless stream of popups and nag-screen bullshit, which is increasingly important with the proliferation of frontend frameworks like React that won’t load any content without first enabling JS for the site.
You know, the whole reason why GIMP eventually added single window mode is because people didn’t like the multi-window thing that they were doing. Did Mozilla fire all of their good design people after COVID? Hope this one gets dropped.
LibreWolf is just a patch set for Firefox. The user settings are stored in the profile folder, so if you just copy your old profile over, you will overwrite most of LibreWolf’s changes. The about:support page contains a list of your changed about:config settings, so copy those down and move them over to your new LibreWolf profile as needed.
Of course, you could also just disable the AI crap yourself in vanilla Firefox if you don’t want to part with your current profile.
Ah good, this was one of the few GTK apps that I couldn’t get rid of.
Somewhat. Programming is just writing step-by-step instructions for computers, which is something that little kids can do. Where small children will run into problems is anything involving abstract reasoning, since those faculties don’t develop until around age 12. So while kids could easily handle something like (+ 1 2), they would struggle with:
(define (add x y)
(+ x y))
So just be sure to keep that in mind while showing them stuff and it should go fine.
NixOS is one of the few distros that legitimately offers something different. Some nice things:
It’s very impressive and is a welcome innovation to the Linux ecosystem. Now if only they could improve the tooling and documentation.
Now there’s the featureset that you wanna see from an application like GIMP. 💪
