@itsfoss Kate or geany

@itsfoss openSUSE. I chose it because I wanted to challenge myself with a distro that is a little off the beaten path. I stay with it because it is the most stable distro I've ever used. :opensuse:

@amin *really*

Also, *really* **fucking** jealous over your ability to use markdown on your instance.

The b-roll for my pinephone pro initial impressions video is 40GB. I think I turned on 4k. ffs

@Carnifex Nope, you're not the only one. And every time I say it in a video or on social, I get fanboys coming at me telling me how it's awesome and how I should never use Xorg again.

@sashin Some of them. Granted, I've not tried all of them yet. Tokodon seems to do okay, but I haven't been able to sign in yet as I can't get bitwarden to work and I'm too lazy to type out that password.

@korreckj328 Pinephone Pro

So after playing with the PinePhone for a few hours, I have three observations so far:

1. There's an app problem, just like you'd expect there to be.

2. Plasma Mobile is actually pretty responsive and impressive. The keyboard is very nice and while the touch responsiveness isn'tn perfect, it's way better than I thought it would be.

3. The WiFi in the PinePhone is slow af. It makes the entire experience much worse. They fix that the performance would actually be pretty decent.

Both me and my wallet are going to regret getting into retro gaming, I can just tell.

Pod finally edited. It took six hours. I liked doing the pod better when I didn't edit it, tbh.

@dcc It's also that I have a ton of subscriptions there so it's just easier to go find that. I did use newsboat and mpv for a while, but supposedly RSS has been killed off on YT.

@dcc I watch a ton of YouTube. And I Know invidious or whatever exist, but it's just easier to go to the main site, because most of those instances are either slow af or broken af.

@dcc If qutebrowser had better ad blocking (though not as big a deal as it used to be now that I have YT premium), and it had any kind of tab groups, I'd use that in a heartbeat.

@dcc Yes, kinda, but it's not as good. With Vivaldi you get the workspaces and you get tab stacks. It's like groups inside of a group.

@dcc Workspaces. So good. And mostly worth it

The latest version of vivaldi breaks copy and paste, at least it does from a distrobox container. A bit disappointed in that.

:qtile: is just superior to every other window manager. It's not even close.

Wayland is such garbage. You get one problem fixed and another pops up, it's whack-a-mole. Finally got the monitors to switch off (even if they pop back on), and now OBS screen capture is broken again. FFS.

I don't even know why I keep trying.

Honestly my favorite part of the #AppleEvent was the Mother Nature sketch. That was funny at least.

But, I guess I will be buying a new iPhone. Basically the same price. Still too expensive, but I won't be buying another until 2027 at the earliest.
