Rollerblading, programming, writing, documentaries, travel, motorbikes… That’s it!

Preferably otl@apubtest2.srcbeat.com

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

@DeadNinja I hate that I laughed at that “Agree?” hahaha

Really? AV1 & webp support, Quantum engine, process-per-tab, reader mode, HTTP/2 & HTTP/3 support, cross-site tracking protection...?
Browsers have a lot of features. Some convenient, some come and go. That's ok.
Firefox is an ideological choice for some people so both cynicism and unconditional support is expected.

> more compact tab bar, saving space

Not sure if you're aware, but there's a hidden setting to make Firefox's toolbars more compact:

If you've done any programming, you could hook up a script to fdm (https://github.com/nicm/fdm).

Rough logic, for each message:

  • match body with several timestamp regexps
  • parse matched messages
  • find dates in message body
  • parse final match
  • discard message if that is date earlier than now - x days

@Pantherina You might be interested in looking into the Plan 9 operating system. The original designers of Unix (on which Linux and BSDs are based) created the OS with lots of interesting ideas built into the core of the system, rather than bolted on afterwards. No root, userspace drivers, others you mentioned are explored.

Take a look: https://p9f.org

@friend_of_satan @wwwgem That got to me too the more I used Linux. BSD (OpenBSD specifically) clicked much more for me. Not that it’s any less customisable, but the BSD culture tends towards favouring defaults and refining existing software rather than limitless configuration and novelty. I’ve generalised here but I do have this kind of feeling.

@wwwgem Totally agree! :) One of the coolest things about Linux for me is learning about all the different approaches to systems and applications.

@Canadian_Cabinet @possiblylinux127 @slacktoid Keep in mind that not all users are the same. For example, maybe some people find firewall configuration expressed as text in a file clearer than a GUI. My grandmother loves her iPad. I love my OpenBSD laptop. I find the iPad relatively user unfriendly - “I can barely see or control what my own machine is doing!” - but my grandmother would find my OpenBSD laptop very user unfriendly too - ”How do I see my family photos?”
