Found a neat command recently.
We all know about `apropos`, a.k.a. `man -k`
Well, `man -K` is a lot like `man -k`, except it performs a *full-text* search of all man pages.

Nifty!!

#man #ManPages #UNIX

Quick tip: if you camelCase your hashtags, people who use screen readers will have an easier time with them.

So, for example: #twitterMigration or #TwitterMigration instead of #twittermigration

@SethBrown true true, I think we can't summarize it better than that phrase.

I also heard analogies like Linux being a great and caring teacher, so long you keep doing the homework.

If anything it makes us, dedicated users, more resilient to when tech breaks - we thrive when others give up.

Once you get past 99 open tabs, #Fennec / #Firefox Mobile just displays an infinity symbol in the tabs button.

Why ya gotta be so snarky, foxy?

Time to cull tabs and save bookmarks.
I just wish I could export all tabs to a text file, since that's how I keep my bookmarks.

Okay, so... I have a bit of an announcement.

I've created a website for FediFollows which has all the accounts I've ever recommended (that are still working!) organised into nice topics and tags:

➡️ fedi.directory

You can browse the main directory or the top 100 tags page. (Also considering adding an "all tags" page, if there's demand.)

Please let me know what you think! Any feedback very welcome 🙏

(This is why I haven't posted in a few days! 😅 )

I decided to give electric shaving a try, since using my blade and soap takes some time an I sometimes am in a hurry. This is the first thing I saw, seriously, an app for a shaver???
What is wrong with us 🤦🏼‍♂️

Someday, your favorite band, songs, or albums could just disappear from Spotify or Tidal or YouTube Music, or ALL the streaming platforms.

Buy their music. Physical or DRM-free digital.

One of the things I like about using / is that to the normal computer user its UI is a "password"

have you met anyone from the #fediverse in person?

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org You have a Gentoo system... curious, do you have a way to count how many lines of code your entire system is made out of?

Entire tournament tree for the Linux Distribution Tournament.

Congrats to Debian for winning this one!

If you want a link to be clickable on here, remember to include https:// at the beginning when you're writing it.

Twitter automatically turns any phrase with a dot in the middle into a link, but that doesn't happen on Mastodon etc because sometimes people want to include dots in phrases that aren't links.

(This also applies to other kinds of link protocol such as gemini:// etc)

I have a habit of saying ouch when I bump into something even when I don't get hurt.

I'm entered in a college competition!
I'm actually not that good (outside of the living room :) ); I'm a little above a level-8 auto. But I'll see how long I can hang on!
