@nixCraft You get excluded from everything and you see less interaction day after day... Until you find yourself looking at screen with nothing to do!
It's a very strange feeling...

@nixCraft A few years ago I would agree with that statement, but things started to change in the other direction. Now it's a race for profitable unreliable software, sluggish and full of bugs which we've to pay to get rid of them... 😕

Miss the old times when apps where made with passion and got nice Easter Eggs to find!

@nixCraft In my case I went back to the traditional mobile phone, because this dependency for mobile apps for anything is really getting out of hand! Now every single company wants their own slice of metadata... 🙄

@itsfoss pico/nano, vi/vim at command line.
Geany, Gedit, Kwrite/Kate, Leafpad, Mousepad when in graphical mode!

I mostly work with the tools I've at that moment.

@itsfoss
Was so comfy right now...

@nixCraft
Oh yes I can 😏 {loudly evil laugh} 😈

@nixCraft So think twice 🤔🤔

@itsfoss To be honest, I've find more useful information in Arch wikis and forums than everywhere else! It's very very complete, and many of the solutions work quite well on Debian too (although there's some difference in configs)...
Ubuntu sometimes can be tricky due to some custom settings to make things "work" out of the box, which ignores the usual configs you find on Debian!

@nixCraft True story!

Like calling me because the PC wasn't working, nothing appeared on the screen when they hit the Power button... Checking the cables, the monitor power cable was almost disconnected 🙄 And they told me they checked everything, the cables and stuff... Oh well!

@itsfoss That's why I have a shell script to do it for me, primarily to keep my Download folder organised!
Whenever I do maintenance to my parent's computers, that's real chaos in there! 😱

@nixCraft To be honest, I still prefer the jack option, at least it works everywhere, when the USB options... Sometimes works, sometimes not... And not to mention the Bluetooth which disconnects all the sudden...

@itsfoss Manjaro at my personal notebook and Debian at my server!

@nixCraft It's like the Teams update while we are using it, letting us without notifications until we focus the window again (lots of messages, missed calls notifications)! Why they don't do like Code and update it when we close the window?!? 🙄

Well, if we weren't brutally invaded with Ads which are bigger than the video itself (a small video with 3 minutes becoming a 15 minutes length due to Ads)... It's true some we can skip, but others we are forced to watch them! And it gets pretty ridiculous at work, when we are watching a Tech video from the supplier and then we see Ads to grow muscular mass or bikinis (I don't know what people are watching/searching at work...)!

@nixCraft I still use it, for my own projects!

@nixCraft That's why I replaced the Windows 11 in my new notebook! Ads everywhere! Even some of the icons on desktop was dummy icons for products to buy!

@nixCraft Yup, pretty much like that 😅
