YOU'RE A GENIUS ! I take eggs out starting by one end and it always feels super weird to have an unbalanced carton, I'll have to try your method.

I don't know about other countries, but in France we are perfectly capable of home-growing our own brand of awfulness. No need to import any from the US, thank you very much.

Yep, no words needed.

It's late April and already starting to get hot, I'll soon need an electric fan and in one month it won't be enough. Half the year is unbearable, and it's only going to get worse with time.

That would depend on whether Mozilla would still get the Google bribe to make it the default search engine, which is their main source of income. Without it they are fucked anyway even without all the new users forcing them to scale up

OH GOD THAT SMILE WILL HAUNT MY NIGHTMARES 😱 😱 😱

Hey it's not a dumb idea just because AI suggested it, ChatGPT probably just pulled that setup from somewhere on reddit I wasn't saying it was stupid but the reverse : it probably would be too technical for me to set up and a bit overkill, but it's tempting to try anyway. If you managed to do it it's awesome !

System :

• zram (who says you can't just install more RAM 😄 )

Terminal :

• kitty (terminal emulator)
• fastfetch (must take screenshots to show off every new Linux install, it's in the EULA)
• zsh (thought I'd like to try nushell one of these days) with zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-completiions and zsh-suggestions
• GNU Stow (to manage symlinks, I store my dotfiles in a repo witch contains home, etc and usr folders, and I use GNU Stow to symlink them respectively to /home/username, /etc and /usr, that way all my config is in the same place so I can back it up easily and have version control)
• rsync (to sync backup folders)
• btop (system monitoring)
• clamav (antivirus)
• brightnessctl (for screen brightness control, but I should probably use brillo instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGOaSS8nEQA)
• yt-dpl (for downloading videos from YouTube/TikTok/wherever else)
• ani-cli (for watching anime from the terminal, obviously a must-have for any ~~Arch~~ Mint user)
• figlet (to write text from fonts made of ASCII art)
• cpipes, asciiquarium, cbonsai, matrix for when I get bored in meetings
• hollywood and rust-stakeholer if I ever need to pretend I'm doing something productive
• lots of TUI apps from https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

General GUI apps :

• Sway (tiling WM) though I'd really like to try niri (instead of several workspace it has a single one of infinite length that you can scroll through)
• rofi and rofi-calc (app launcher that can also do a lot other stuff if you want like file browser, ssh menu, calculator, emoji selector, it's very light and superfast), also rofi-emoji (emoji selector)
• VSCode (code editor)
• KeepassXC (password manager)
• lutris, steam, protontricks, ProtonGE (gaming)
• FontManager
• Ventoy (for making USBs with multiple ISO on them)
• LibreOffice

Internet :

• Waterfox + LibreWolf (web browsers) with the following extensions : uBlock, Consent-O-matic, DownThemAll, KeepasXC-Browser, Copy PlainText, Copy Link Text, EPUB Reader, Markdown Viewer Web Ext, Sponsor Block, Return YouTube Dislike, YouTube Anti Translate, CanvasBlocker, Font Fingerprint Defender, WebGL Fingerprint Defender (I had to give up on User-Agent Switcher because it causes me to be blocked on too many websites)
• qBittorrent (BitTorrent client)
• FileZilla (FTP client)

Media :

• XVview (image viewer)
• ksnip (GUI screen capture)
• Gimp (image editor)
• Inkscape (vector image editor)
• MPC and VLC (audio/video players)
• Libation (to liberate Audible audiobooks from your account)
• cheese (camera)

I'm on Arch so the package names might be a bit different

Oh that's a shame, I hope they manage to improve it it woul be very convenient

I meant not too slow to load on a potato-grade laptop... Thunderbird takes a while 😅 I hadn't heard of mailspring before, I'll check it out thanks !

Lmao that's what ChatGPT recommended after I ranted about all the email clients I had tried 😂

fetchmail/getmail6 to fetch the mails via POP3 in maildir format + a local roundcube server + CLI tool to still be able to read mails outside home but I thought I might be a bit overkill 😅

It's a matter of perspective I guess. I'm not a fan of overkill security measures that get too much in the way of usability and risk creating problems for you, especially when physical access is a minor risk in most cases. I agree that having a Microsoft account to backup your key is a solution, but not a very good one since you trade vulnerability to a possible physical access that probably is never going to happen for the absolute certainty of your data being spied on by Microsoft...
