I've used herbstluftwm on my main desktop for years. Love it. Manual tiling works well for me. Totally flexible and customizable. Switch between floating and tiling with a keypress, etc.

And then on various other machines.

  • Xfce on my desktop at work that I don't use that much (work mainly from home) and just needed to set up quick. It's totally fine, like xfce always is.
  • Gnome on my tablet (basically a Surface knock-off). I don't really like gnome, but it's the only thing I've tried that works well OOTB for a touchscreen.
  • PekWM on an old macbook running debian. Great stacking WM. Super flexible, and the tabbed windows for any app are cool.
  • LXQT on an ancient (2009?) dual-core laptop that I mainly just use for writing in nvim. Works well for a simple setup.

How much you wanna bet that the same people who demanded she be uninvited also insist that the Israel/Palestine conflict has nothing to do with settler-colonialism?

You have to enable it, but once you do it can do them automatically.

Linux Mint Debian Edition. Very windows-like + automatic updates = ideal for people who don't really want to have to learn anything new (assuming your parents are like mine in that respect).

However often you do it, you should definitely do it today to cover the serious backdoor that's been discovered: https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoored/

I'm guessing you're not old enough to remember Ronnie Reagan calling the Soviets "the evil empire." Tensions were incredibly high in the early 80s, and the Republicans were super hawkish about it. I was a kid at the time and convinced we were all going to die in a nuclear holocaust.

I've been using tmsu for years to manage thousands of pdfs and images for my academic research.

It can be set up to work with a webdav database. So yes, you could self-host the database and access it from clients with local zotero installs.

Wow, what a shitty hack job. What the fuck happened to the Intercept?

Although judging from reactions I'm seeing online, the liberal hot-take is that UFOs are a strictly Republican thing now and that questioning whether the gov't is hiding knowledge of UFOs is akin to being an anti-vaxxer QAnon disciple. Dana Milbank's shitty take in WaPo today exemplifies this trend. So fucking annoying.

I'm on it now on arch. TBH it's kinda making my life harder because some things I'm used to using have moved. I'm sure I'll see the advantages of it at some point.

That's impressive even just from a n/vim perspective. Thanks.
