Note to self:

Flatpak stores all of its user configuration and otherwise application-specific files in ~/.var

Which is actually great for a) not polluting ~/ and b) having all of the config in one place, finally.

Although the naming could have been a little more obvious.

Y no Popcorn Time flatpak?

Stop putting fucking YAML everywhere, it sucks.

@ZySoua @sneexy @lea Yeah, please don't fucking impersonate actual human persons, it's trash.

Corpos whatever.

Upd: thanks for placing a link on there at least.

@microsoft "Fun"... Yeah. This is what "fun" looks like these days, I reckon.

Well, sorry for ruining your quote-unquote "fun", I was just following directions listed here:

> we allow parody accounts as long as they have some notice on their profiles that marks them as a parody. we don't allow impersonating individual people for no reason.

There was no indication of this being a parody account, as per screenshot, so:

@lea @sneexy @ZySoua

@7666 I dunno. Have you stopped masturbating to Kermit the Frog for a dinner table prayer?

Maybe you shouldn't have.

@lea @sneexy @microsoft @ZySoua

I want a feature in the package manager, like "you probably don't need this", that shows the most rarely used software in your system and suggests you to delete it.

@ZySoua Когда попробуешь?

@ZySoua А для чего, по твоему мнению, используют компьютер пользователи linux?

@lina @mo

@ZySoua На самом деле, ковыряться во внутренностях попросту увлекательно, особенно если ты молодой и увлекающийся.

Но никто не заставляет никого погружаться в какие-то дебри. Ставишь манджару с гномом (готовый дистр, ставится за 10 минут), и радуешься простому как палка десктопу, интерфейс почти как на мобильной ОС: статусбар сверху, меню приложений с поиском во весь экран, док снизу если что-то надо каждый день, большинство приложений - три кнопки, не запутаешься и не промажешь. Если что-то надо поставить, вон там менеджер пакетов (ака центр приложений). Ставишь через него стим в два клика, и играешь во все.

Собственно, я так и сделал, живу так уже много лет. Вовнутрь лезть нет никакого соблазна.

@lina @mo

@dotterian у меня аллергия на RPM-based дистры.

А, ну еще rolling (поставил и забыл, не надо обновлять между релизами) и можно юзать aur, в котором есть все.

@ZySoua @lina @mo

@evan Thank you for starting this whole beautiful mess!

The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.

Moreover, the first broadcasts that were sufficiently powerful to break through our ionosphere took place in the late 1930s.

Meaning, the first thing they'll see is probably Hitler.

Man, no wonder nobody comes to say "hello". I bet our dumpster fire of a planet is a wicked show, though.

Reverse engineering is gnireenigne.

Why is every teen on the planet so sure that it's them who invented teen angst?

Hi, @Truck!

I've been pondering the idea of super-minimalistic (but still HA-enabled) Fediverse engine that only supports text data of fixed size (customizable by the admin), and all the features like polls and interactions but no media like images or videos or emojis or whatever else, written in something like Go.

Something you can stick on a RPI3 with 32 gigs of SD card and it will last you for a decade. Or you can install it on a couple of servers at your workplace and it will run stealthily basically forever.

The point would be, - first - because limitations are fun, and second - to promote self-hosting. If you can't afford to host anything else, you can at least host this.
