@survey I like it when advanced software intentionally differentiates between advanced users and inadvanced users; E.g. having the basic settings in the settings window but then having a section labeled "Additional settings" or "Advanced settings".

I also think it's a good idea to make dangerous settings only available in e.g. config files; that way, hopefully a lot of the users who shouldn't touch them are excluded if they don't put in a bit of effort.

@brownest_Ant See the alt text, it should help

@RL_Dane Your hashtags, wow... is there any overhead in the Fediverse for creating all these one-use hashtags? (And what use is a hashtag if you only use it once)

This boarding school banned smartphones. The results were promising!

@qburns I think you have a point there...

@harphat I'm not supporting those who spread the disinformation but we need to forgive them. (Not saying you should forget though.) Many who spread the disinformation were more or less deceived, being the victims as well as the perpetrators.

@servant Aw. Sorry to hear

@RL_Dane @randomString What I do is have a ~/Audio folder, and then a Audio/Music symlink to ~/Music (a symlink to ~/Music because XDG I guess).

@randomatic That's a neat thought....

Hello from the command line! I'm posting this from a terminal :)

@shelby@fauxzen.com What the what how is MacOS winning

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane On a more computerized device, you couldn't do that unless the feature was built-in :( Here's to DIY!

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane Oh that's cool.

@RL_Dane @benjaminhollon Oh absolutely. More robust, manual and "hackable" to list a few advantages.

(That's exactly 500 characters by the way :D)

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane One of the things I like about music via vinyl records is it feels a lot more natural – 'human-compatible', I like to say. You don't interact with a single screen or computer to get it working. If you want to listen to something else you get up and physically change the record. Records can be passed down to children or given away (physically, not as a virtual asset).

And your records don't disappear if they get pulled from the store and there are no changes or updates 😀
