yeah then you get whatever this is. how about make the file available for download like a normal human?

what is the trash fire ‘download opera’ hellsite

For me, phones on the LineageOS compatibility list. But then I’m looking to de-google, and I don’t care about having the latest phone.

Check out the movie “Sicario”

To me the main thing is to relate to a computer as a programmable device, not just a shiny box with pictures and videos. To that end, it might be more effective to have the computer be in command line mode rather than it just being a conduit to youtube.

I started on an apple II at a friend’s house. BASIC was built right in to the command line. Our family ended up with a TRS-80 compatible which also had BASIC. Back then everything you needed to know was in the TRS-80 basic manual. I spent hours and hours making games on it.

Perhaps something like LOGO? Some simple command line environment where the knowledge required is small, and there are easily reachable payoffs for making loops and so forth.

Something like Clouseau vs the world’s assassins from the pink panther strikes again.

I think its interesting that multiple instances feel they need their own “music@my-instance” community. One might expect that the instance doesn’t really matter, and each instance is just a gateway to the larger federated collection of communities.

But that’s not really the case - individual instances do have their own flavor to some extent. Moderation policy can be different, instances can avow some kind of purpose, like hexbear.net for instance is explicitly “leftist”. Other servers have different priorities.

In that context, it makes more sense to have duplicate communities - for instance if you post a youtube link on on [email protected] you get an annoying warning about youtube. That fits with their leftist perspective. And its likely you’d get a different response from posting leftist music there than posting it on some right wing instance.

but ctrl-c to cancel terminal tasks predates the 1980s. the inconsistency came in when apple decided to ignore that precedent and introduce ctrl-c, ctrl-x, and ctrl-v as shortcuts in their graphical UI.

to achieve consistency, probably better to invent a new terminal type that does away with the accumulated cruft of 50 years. problem is you would also need new cli programs to go with it.

kind of hate to talk about them because I only have two and might want a third!

I get those 3 bulleted features in my terminal, alacritty. But not with Shift. For highlighting I’m pretty much limited to selecting text with the mouse and ctrl-shift-c.

For more sophisticated text selection, tmux comes to mind. Default key bindings appear to be emacs-esque, though vi style is possible too. Custom keybindings are possible as well. It does seem like you may be forced to enter a special mode for selection rather than having that available all the time with just shift.

ha I went down the “did Gary Gygax play Neelix” path. No he’s just in the first frame of this meme.

i found a oneplus 6 on ebay, brand new in the box. Solid linux phone, about 100$.

I’d like to think this is boycott related

wapo is really raking her over the coals here. makes me more likely to read it.

Its less work to use keyboard shortcuts to arrange/navigate windows in tiling than it is to use a mouse + alt-tab. Window sizing and placement is something you think about a lot less. Its very fast to flip through various preset window arrangements and usually that’s good enough for whatever task.

scutoids be like

much better!

that looks like some kinda weird consultancy site. maybe that ship has sailed already?

Good point. I would prefer to crowdsource the whitelist I think. Also, it would be cool to do stuff like search youtube but bring up a link to a dis-enshittified youtube intermediary.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a search engine that would bring up sites and services like those in this thread, and exclude enshittified trash like youtube, amazon, etc etc.
