  • Tip from long-time arch user (btw). Avoid installing or making changes to system installation without going through pacman. I.e., don’t use install scripts or make install invocations requiring sudo. More often than not that will cause headaches long-term. PKGBUILDs are actually reasonably simple to create if you need to install something not in the AUR, and it will keep you from overwriting files and leaving files behind after uninstalling.







  • My main gripe with windows is that it’s gradually turning to adware/spyware after MS decided to go for that sweet data collection revenue. That also means a shift in the focus of the development of the OS, as it’s not being developed for the benefit of the users anymore.

    That, and software development processed are more tedious. Although today I’m sure I could find a workflow that works with WSL or vcpkg.

    Edit: Oh, and everything turning to webapps on the desktop. Love staring at white canvas while it waits for a server response.

    Got this update message in signal earlier this week. Nice to see them moving in the right direction, but I guess the initial signup still requires a phone number.

    "Your phone number will no longer be visible to anyone on the latest version of Signal unless they have it saved in their phone’s contacts. You can change this in Settings.

    A new privacy setting lets you control who can find you by your phone number on Signal.

    You can now set and share an optional username to let people chat with you without giving them your phone number. "
