If redirecting with /etc/hosts isn’t enough, you could set up a cron job (I guess as root?) to re-copy a hosts file back to /etc/hosts every half hour or something. That way even if you do manually change /etc/hosts for an quick peak of an illicit website, it’ll go back to being blocked in a short amount of time. This’ll add a bit of the “pain in the ass” factor.

Team Vim. Because I learned the vim basics once 20 years ago and never bothered to learn after that. :D

I don’t know what you did but I like that UI.

Neat, I had no idea Mindustry was open source. My roommate played a ton of the steam version.

Yeah, thats kinda been my experience too. Any time a game has a linux build on steam I swear its a 50/50 if it’ll even run. I almost always end up switching to proton.

Neat. Maybe they’ve changed it since I last used it. Still not going back though.

I only have to reboot when I want to, not when a corporation wants me to.

I am at the moment, but I’m thinking of switching to XFCE.

I switched to Mate originally because Cinnamon always runs out of memory and starts slowing down over time. If they fixed the memory issues I’d probably prefer Cinnamon.

Slackware was my first linux back in the day. :)

Thanks! I guess something like vim would count as a TUI then.

What is a TUI? I haven’t heard that term before.

Hey, I remember you from when I used to browse imgur. I always enjoyed your image dumps. :D

Out of curiosity, how do you find gemini sites to read? If there aren’t forms I assume there isn’t a search engine?

Pretty good for me with Mint. Mostly audio annoyances and window manager annoyances. I hated cinnamon because it leaks memory like mad and needs to be restarted often. Now I’m using Mate, but it seems to have a lot of annoying quirks of its own.

Also I found that the compositor really messes with the performance of gaming, so I needed to turn it off which was a bit of a pain to figure out.

Other than that, everything has been fine, but I used to use Linux a lot 20 years ago so the transition wasn’t too bad for me.

I get a lot of weird audio issues in linux too. I don’t remember having those issues in linux when I was younger, but I’m often getting weird audio artifacts when playing games on Mint.

Its been a while since I’ve used it, and I don’t remember it being great, but more than enough to convert a SVG into a PDF reliably.

They work great in combination. I used to generate report pages by generating SVG with ruby scripts and then convert to PDF with inkscape and then use pdftk to assemble the pages and add stamps where needed. :)

Was just generally annoyed at microsoft, but couldn’t leave because I play a lot of PC games. Then I found out these days gaming works relatively okay in linux so I switched.

I’ll pick Godot as well. Started using it recently and its been a pretty smooth learning experience.
