I've been curious about Awesome for more than a decade, since my openbox/fluxbox days, but I ended up using dwm for X11 and sway for Wayland.
I got lazy and, although my configs got more and more complex with time, these two look so straightforward and basic at a glance, while Awesome looks overwhelming. I still think it's worth checking out, but not today 😅

Who the hell voted gentoo?
He's here, lurking among us, the one who hates humans so much 🧛
C'mon, it's a server — the system that's not supposed to break with each update!

Now the Predator has nothing to do! She just sits there drinking tea with her cat 😺

Like I said, it's A LOT! Most of my stuff is just old and USB-chargers weren't that popular at the time I suppose: I have a couple of old phones, a couple of powerbanks, most wireless peripherals use AA-batteries, my DSi has its own charger…
Didn't know you 3DS used USB-charger, is that the standard way or are you using a custom one?
@Jessica I'm using an old Mac Pro. It doesn't have BIOS, it's emulated if you want to install Windows. And its EFI doesn't even comply with UEFI standard, it's old.
There's not a lot you can do before the OS boots, you can probably get an EFI shell and you can choose where to boot from, no settings at all, you have to modify EFI vars for that, but somehow Apple made even peripherals connected via USB-hub work in this boot device chooser. And even Bluetooth peripherals "just work" 😁
@Jessica
I have a lot of weird tech shit lying around, but if I count USB-powered I'd probably only get to seven
That's including the USB-powered oral irrigator😅
My workstation of course has a lot of peripherals plugged in, but it has plenty of ports and two displays have USB-hubs — more than enough for me.
@Jessica
OMG 😱
Then, maybe it's worth getting that 80-port thing!
@Jessica PinePower looks nice too: https://pine64.com/product/pinepower-120w-desktop-power-supply-us-version/
It's smaller, but of course it doesn't have 80 ports 😅
@kf Michael Hewitt has series of books on music theory: "Music Theory for Computer Musicians", "Harmony for CMs" and "Composition for CMs" — there might be more by now, but I only have these 3.
I already knew the basics when I read them, but I think they are really good and easy to understand, e.g. he uses not only standard music notation, but also piano roll found in most DAWs, guitar tabs, show what chords/scales/modes look like on the keyboard…
I'd recommend these books!
@captainepoch One of the rare cases when text actually makes the picture funnier 😹
I just got rid of the color as it would be another factor of making them harder to arrange this way.
This phone has a boot animation based on the image used as wallpaper, and even boot sound based on a track composed by me 🤪
Here are some screenshots of the home screen in question: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108980858120492466
I've been partaking in a discussion of some people's trait/idiosyncrasy of arranging items by their color: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108955030149258151
And I'm convinced to believe I'm not one of them, but I'm looking at the screenshots of my phone's home screen and realize that I might be worse. It is minimalist, but I spent a lot of time to make it look like this. The apps in the drawer are sorted alphabetically, but look like there is some system behind this, at least to me.
@Zerglingman
I use something called Omega Launcher. It has LOTS of features I don't really need, but I really like that you can get rid of all the labels, the search and make the widgets full-width. Looks really nice.
But, I really did struggle to make the punch-hole not obstruct the wallpaper, spent like half an hour on small thing like this. It looks okay on the preview, you press "Ok" and it looks all wrong — like I said, had to do it the trial and error way 😅

I see what you did there 😏
You're a Marxist because you think the world is unfair,
I'm a Marxist because I'm a stupid lazy person,
We are not on the same level!
@thor I bet these cats could be good at Assassin's Creed 🤣

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
