I already download all my media so I have offline access.

I’m honestly sick of social media. I mainly just view it as a news source, only commenting on Reddit Lemmy threads because its convenient to do so.

How is #4 going to work if I use Linux on my primary devices?

This seems simultaneously overkill and extremely minimalist at the same time.

Firefox can open videos, but if I try to skip ahead on a HEVC encode I only get audio and there’s performance issues in general. Also no way to change audio tracks and no subtitles.

just use a browser.

For offline videos?

Interesting take. Xfce started off as a CDE clone.

You can also add gears to a computer

sudo apt install mesa-utils

Does it work on arm terminals? I want it on a Pip Boy. Do I need to run the Demon Summoning Program in Wine or is there a native ELF class?

I love how over-engineered phinger is

VLC also appears to have a TUI interface. Check out the VLC wiki

There’s also a CLI interface accessible through cvlc

It works.

Which is a quality of standard that Windows does not maintain. I wouldn’t wish that garbage on my worst enemy.

How? It’s not even a monospace font

There’s also mp3gain, but this looks better maintained

Web services which are more than likely running on Linux servers…

Is the website old enough to be online?

I use tmux for ssh sessions. Still have a DE on the main system, though. Running tmux with tmux would be wild.

Somewhere between 6-7. I follow issue trackers but spend more time implementing other peoples’ fixes than adding my own code. I also maintain dozens of systems at my workplace.

Last time I set up Mint the only thing I needed the terminal for was to disable a setting on Java 8 that prevented it from launching on Xfce.

I didn’t need to use the terminal to do that, though. It just didn’t feel right editing a system config file with a GUI text editor.

For me, it’s date +%s

Weirdly, Debian currently has a newer version of Xfce than Linux Mint. Not everything on there is out of date.

I always type sync into the terminal after copying large amounts of files to external storage. One time it didn’t unmount properly. Never again.

This isn’t a GNOME-specific thing as other DEs also display files by their file type. It’s all defined by the icon theme.

I’m not sure if there exists an icon theme that replaces the unique filetype icons with specific application icons, but if such a thing does exist, that could be a solution.

You could also edit the icon theme you’re using yourself too, if you’re feeling adventurous. Using the Papirus icon theme, on my system the image representing a python text file is located in /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/mimetypes/text-x-python.svg. I could replace that image with anything. I’m not sure why I’d want to do that, but if you really want to replace all these images with an image of VSCodium no one’s gonna stop you.

Maybe there’s a script that does this automatically? If such a thing exists, it’ll probably follow the steps I just mentioned.
