The Super User @sudo@librem.one

@gmate8 😂 I am also kind of with you there. I use Linux Mint Cinnamon because I just want something that is familiar and works out-of-the-box. I make very few changes, if any at all. (I still use the default wallpaper! 😄)

@purelinux That's nice. What kind of work do you do? Are you a developer? 🤔

@Suiseiseki It's relatively more open source than what most people use while still being easily accessible.

For those #Linux users out there, what's your reason for using it?

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I am curious, though. What made you dream something like that? Did you watch a thriller or something on Netflix?

@unfa I just listened to your 'PipeWire (LMC #12)' song via Audius. It was a blast! I doubt there is anyone else who can make listening to all that technical jargon about Linux so much fun. Seriously, I just became your lifelong fan! 😄

Using classes and object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python makes so much sense. It really provides a sweet spot between the complete isolation of functional programming and having no structure at all.

@Suzie97@mastodon.social Also, has anyone ever watched this cartoon as a kid?

@Suzie97@mastodon.social There is something really iconic about the monkey's face in that photo. It reminds me of King Kong. 😄

@bitwarden @tulpa@fosstodon.org I tried using the CLI tool to automate the creation of regular backups with a script but it keeps asking me for the master password multiple times. 😞

I found this interesting article regarding the password vs. passphrase debate.

The takeaway is basically, given that the password is actually of considerable length, it doesn't matter which one you use.

However, if it's a password that you'll need to remember, it's probably better to use a passphrase. The master password for the password manager you use is a good example. (That's one password it can't remember for you.)

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I didn't know you were a college student. What's your major?

@unfa Wow! That's great! It's kind of like a virtual book reading. 😄 I think the video could have been better, though, if there was scrolling text (like in Star Wars) so viewers could follow along as you read it.

@unfa Just for reference, what do your stats on YouTube look like for a similar period of time?

I am kind of impressed too. PeerTube's analytics seem to be more thorough than what's even available on Odysee/LBRY. It's nicely implemented.

@unfa How did the premiere on Peertube go? What was the view count?

@StroomAfwaarts @thunderbird You can install the latest version of Thunderbird via Flatpak on most distros.

(Installation instructions can be found at the bottom of the page.)

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I have to agree. Flatpak is amazing. It really takes how the Linux community has done things and massively improves it without trying to change it fundamentally. I think that may be why it is winning out against AppImage and Snap.

While they are both great formats and have their own strengths, I think they fail to address their audience and how they prefer to work. It's more or less the same reason why Microsoft Store didn't take Windows users by storm.
