Yes, it’s just sway

I’ve been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don’t visit the site if I can help it, I don’t login, I don’t “like & subscribe”, I don’t see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don’t see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

I’d go for Alpine Linux in such case.

I’ll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it’s often hard to find good books in other languages. I’d also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

• (German)
  • “Die Welten der Skiir” trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
  • “3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter” by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
• (Spanish)
  • “En un lugar llamado tierra” - I read this long ago, don’t remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
  • La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
• (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”, as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
  • “Helstrid” - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven’t properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can’t say if it’s any good.
• (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read “Coriolis, de stormplaneet” and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet

I’m using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

• make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
• time tracking functions
• synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

Done! Please join https://lemmy.world/c/kooikerhondje and post more photos ;)

Oh wow! Already three people with kooikerhondjes on lemmy! You’re right, we should start a community

I’m not much of a distro-hopper. I think I’ve been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:

• RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
• Mandrake (around 2001?)
• Ubuntu (around 2006)
• Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.

My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I’m not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.

Let’s not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉

The more kooikerhondjes the better! :)

A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo

I can definitely see where you’re coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn’t come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I’d have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.

I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I’m really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

I guess so yeah, but now I see her! Very cute kooikerhondje indeed!

Really? Nice! Did you mean to post a picture, I’m not seeing it?

Thanks!

Cute snout! He’s so excited he’s even posted multiple times I see ;)

Nice to see you here too, with a brand new instance even!

I use newsboat for all my RSS needs, which is pretty much my main entry point for a lot of things:

• News sites
• Various blogs
• Youtube channels (I unsubscribed from everything on my YouTube account, hardly ever login, and only use RSS to follow the channels I want)
• Podcasts
• I used to have some subreddits in there too, but those were ritually deleted after June 12th of course
