@taimaninuehararin Yea, I've noticed alot of these automated channels popping up now that A.I. makes it so much easier. I've seen financial channels appear overnight that have 1-2 million subs....all fake subs and all fake comments. It's just a huge botnet. Google does seem to take them down rather quickly though.

@XeroLinux Nice. Since flutter was a topic that came up on our last Zoom chat, I've been looking into documentation for creating a flutter app. You know...just because. :D

@mester After installing the fonts, you may need to restart the Emacs server.

killall emacs
/usr/bin/emacs --daemon &

@mester The problem is an Emacs package called all-the-icons. You have to run this: M-x all-the-icons-install fonts

I'm need to figure out how to have them already on the ISO. The problem is Emacs installs a bunch of fonts to /usr/share/fonts instead of the .config/emacs/elpaca directory. I'll have to figure out which fonts it installs and have them already in /usr/share/fonts before I build the next ISO. I'll eventually work something out for this so users don't have to manually do it. ;)

@noggynoggy It's not that I don't want to try some of these Wayland window managers. I use Nvidia on my home computer, so until Wayland/Nvidia work like they should, I simply can't do it. I'll take a look at all of them when it's time (when they're ready).

@mester "Better" is subjective. But Doom definitely saves you a lot time configuring stuff that you would eventually add anyway.

@alvinho Based on web analytics. Essentially, you're counted as whatever OS your browser reports.

@taimaninuehararin I typically use Ext4 when manually partitioning just because I've used it for years. But sometimes I use the automatic partitioning and if a distro uses something else, like Btrfs or Xfs, then I'm fine with those choices too. Doesn't matter that much to me as long as the file system is stable.
