Hi! I'm Alex, a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS btw. Gen Z, Romanian.

It's time to switch to Linux!

Many phones have OLED displays, which physically turn off the pixels in black areas. Since the site is on mobile, it does make a bit of sense.

The thing is, sometimes apt install uses snap...

NixOS. After trying it, I could never go back to a "regular" distro.

I'm using NixOS, and I have a few tips:

  1. Use flakes
  2. If it ain't working, steam-run it.

Linux is spreading among gen z. Source: I'm 13 and use NixOS, and my friend who's around the same age as me also uses it.

If the person who posts on mastodon mentions a community on lemmy, their toot appears as a post in that community on lemmy. It happened on !thunder_app@lemmy.world

It's like lemmy + mastodon - you can microbilor and boost posts and comments. But after using it for a while, I switched back to lemmy because:

  • it has no API AFAICT the API is read-only, so there aren't any apps (the dev is making one but I don't think it's finished and can't compile it)
  • it has some performance issues
  • it doesn't work sometimes
  • the UI looks worse
  • there are way less instances of it
  • it's written in php instead of rust

It's not a native app, but have you tried photopea?

I'm a minor, so I can't have a job in tech, but I am really tech-savvy (I use NixOS and like to tweak every system I have)

ext4 is good enough.

I read that as "adobe" and thought you were kidding lmao

Don't forget KSP2! Worst €50 I've spent.

You could try https://piped.video or another piped instance

  • a bot that redorects youtube to piped

Why did people downvote this? I'm thinking of switching from KDE to GNOME on my PC, with extensions it's great for every usecase.

They didn't raise it in my country (Romania), according to the list.

Based bot

From how you've described modifying your distro, that's literally NixOS. Your entire config is declared in a git repo, when you update the system it rebuilds it from that repo. But you'll have to learn the nix language, and it's not a easy-to-use, beginner-friendly distro.

Tbh, I used to pronounce it 'JIF' (because in my native language, 'gi' is always a soft 'g', and I usually speak that), but now that I think about it in English, a hard G makes more sense.

In Romanian I also pronounce gigabytes as jigabytes :)

Like ploum wrote ("splitting the web" on https://ploum.net)

WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING FELLOW HUMAN

In the repository, there's a button on the right that says "Report this repository". Click on it, then select malicious code and other type of malicious code. Make sure to specify it's against the free, open web and w3c standards!

I use helix on NixOS. I have the most basic setup for c(++):

  • edit with helix
  • write custom makefiles with a script I made
  • test the program with the makefile
  • debug with cout or printf

What country?

I have no f***ing idea.

They're more reproducible, they make dependency management easier, the commands you use with them are easier to use and more readable, and it's easier to have multiple packages/systems/home-manager profiles in a single git repo. They also make version management easier

Good luck! What distro are you trying?

Well, I used to use reddit, but you know what happened with it... So I switched to lemmy.

The first account I made was ultra980@lemmy.ml (and same username on lemmy.one as a backup), but then I switched to kbin. Now, after kbin is glitching out more than ever, I switched back to lemmy, but now on .world.

I'll also set up my own instance at some point, NixOS makes it possible with just a few lines in my config.

Seems like a nice distro! Iwouldn't use it because I don't want to go back to a "regular" distro after using NixOS, but I'll definitely recommend it to friends. Too bad it doesn't have an RSS feed for the news...
