I <3 kitty, will probably give this a look but I’ve got kitty so well tuned to my liking at this point it’s hard for me to imagine switching

Why do you let your parents religious choices for themselves runyour life? Do you want to live that way? What would happen if you lived your own values? Would it really be as bad as you think it will be?

It’s definitely the latter. The sites it renders are just markdown files stored on the IPFS network. I don’t think it can render HTML let alone a modern web app on the internet

They weren’t talking about LibreWolf when making the comment about the singular gateway, they were talking about IPFS. But it’s right there, you can read it again. Or even ask the original commenter, either by directly replying to them or by tagging them, e.g. @ComradeMiao@lemmy.world can you answer @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml’s question?

No, you’re thinking of LibreWolf. This is like an IPFS browser that interprets markdown to render simple sites within the IPFS network

Is that you, Rowan, manager of TechTown?

No. It’s not like businesses that are open 7 days a week require all of their employees to work every one of those days

I’ve found it precisely the opposite: Monday is like a Thursday (so experientially two Thursdays and two Fridays) with a free day to schedule doctor’s appointments, car fixes, and all the other little things you’d normally have to take PTO for but now do not

I like ulauncher. That’s what I use on my main machine that runs Mint. It’s not Mint or Cinnamon specific but it doesn’t need to be

Shareholders are invested by their money only. If they can sue and win while also selling off their shares they’re going to do it.

Huh, confusing last year for a decade ago is unusual

It’s weird to me that you think I think that. I do primarily browse files by terminal, but not always. Before I got into heavy terminal use I was a power user of Nemo. In any case, dumping everything in /home does not make for a better gui file browsing experience, either

Someone asking a question doesnt merit the insult of saying they “would never ask if they used a terminal.” I have no particular dog in this fight, but not being a dick isn’t that hard.

This is true, and something that I’m working on. For some reason my brain is uncharitable in these situations and I interpret it not as a simple question but a sarcastically hostile put down in the form of a question. In this case, “Why would you be dumb and not just put things in /home”. That really is a silly interpretation of the OP question, so I apologize.

As to using this standard, just because this is your preferred standard, doesnt mean its the only standard.

Sure, but the OP was essentially asking “Why isn’t dumping everything into a user’s /home the standard? Why are you advocating for something different?”

Based on their own description, they aren’t even an official standard, just one in “very active” use.

There are a LOT of “unofficial standards” that are very impactful. System D can be considered among those. The page you link to does talk about a lot of specifications, but it also says that a lot of them are already under the XDG specification or the reason for XDG is to bring such a scheme under a single specification, i.e. XDG.

So why this, specifically? Just because its what you’re already doing?

• yes I do use it, so I am definitely biased in that regard
• it bring a bunch of disparate mostly abandoned specification into a single, active one
• it’s the active specification that has learned from past attempts

But what’s the difference?

I can only imagine someone asking this if they a) don’t use the terminal except if Stackexchange says they should and b) have yet to try and cleanup a system that’s acquired cruft over a few years. If you don’t care about it, then let me flip that around and ask why you care if people use XDG? The people who care about it are the people in the spaces that concern it.

Off the top of my head this matters because:

• it’s less clutter, especially if you’re browsing your system from terminal
• it’s a single, specified place for user specific configs, session cache, application assets, etc. Why wouldn’t such important foundational things required for running apps not be in a well defined specification? Why just dump it gracelessly in the user’s root folder outside of pure sloppy laziness?
• it makes uninstalling apps easier
• it makes maintenance easier
• it makes installing on new machines easier

It’ll be in /home anyways and I heard BSD had some issues with something that could be XDG.

And I’m on 6.5 right now running the Mint Edge ISO edition on Mint 21.3

I didn’t realize people were hating on Timberlake, but I did find this

You can customize this in the Keyboard > Shortcuts settings

What is the benefit of putting a git repo site on activity pub? It’s not like the underlying git repos are shared that way. I don’t get why this would be a lift for hosted repositories. I’m certainly not storing my code on Jim’s basement server.io
