Laziest attitude. An excuse to just comply and conform. If it’s something you oppose, then fucking oppose it. Your expression of apathy is what most people do, but plenty don’t really want to. Then grow a spine. No offense with my hyperbole.
It’s kinda like root-ish privileges. It facilitates doing things that you’re not technically prohibited from accessing, but there simply is no interface for. It uses administrative console commands (administrative in the management sense, not like administrator=root sense) to execute changes that don’t have any pathway built-in for the end-user.
Personally, nearly all my devices are rooted, but I did use Shizuku for some accessories on a few devices. It’s a bit of ado to setup; not difficult just a handful of steps. Worth it if you really need or want to do something the GUI won’t provide and you’ll likely find more uses down the line.
Just get a penile implant already. Then you can stop having to buy giant truck, guns and all that compensation paraphernalia. 🤪
I can totally see what you mean. I guess the thing is maybe due to my age, but coming from a good portion of my life during which organization and pattern-keeping was crucial to accessing your information, I became accustomed to very precise categorization and filing. Therefore I rarely use or need any kind of search mechanism due to not remembering where something is. Indeed, even my entire file system on clients and servers alike is very heirarachical and I only need to search when I need massive quantities of data that will invariably come from many sources.
I think searchability these days has rendered a sense of organization seem unnecessary by younger people. Even the idea of knowing what a file is and where it is, to many is a foreign concept.
But I get your point because depending on the size and scope of the project, especially with multiple participants, the idea of a single-minded structure is a joke.
Maybe I should dedicate some time to learning Obsidian. What I’d really like, to be honest, probably would be better with a personal wiki. I want a complete knowledgebase of everything I document, and that screams wiki. I could segregate stuff into their own projects but what’s the benefit? None really. I realize that now. And I can alwyas have access restrictions based on authentication, so that’s not a concern.
Thank you for sharing your insight. 😀
I have been desperately wanting a OneNote clone for years. Back in the early 2010s I used it for a massive project and it was absolute perfection. I’m talking about seriously heavy project with several users and many hundreds of pages, sections etc.
I’ve yet to find anything even approaching being close to as easy and well-organized and well-presented. I looked a little at Obsidian and I’ll try some more to learn it. OneNote took like a minute to learn and everything followed a standard intuitive design as most desktop applications of the day. I’ve been advised to look at Joplin, Obsidian and a few more, and I’ve given them a quick review but none even hold a candle to OneNote. It’s so sad because I’ve moved away from anything MS, and especially because it absolutely refuses to play well with any storage other than OneDrive, so I ended it when MS took away most of everyone’s included storage capacity. That was it for me.
I really wish we could just get an exact clone but one that let the data be on a local server. I would love to be able to use it on Linux and Android, and if possible, iOS. There’s just nothing that is as polished. One of MS’s best products ever. :-(
I wonder if Dr. Morrissey constantly has to listen to them tell him stories about how there was once this misunderstanding.
For an older system I’ve been very pleased with the performance of Bodhi Linux. And the UI is very customizable.
Literally all the tactics used back in the day by Microsoft. It landed them with billions in antitrust fines and Google for some reason decided to do all the exact same things - literally.
I dunno. So far I have always found what I needed, assuming it existed. Sometimes there just isn’t a match because either it’s not a setting, or it doesn’t contain the exact text you entered. I’d imagine people’s experiences differ, but I’ve been lucky thus far, on many devices.
They literally don’t make any anymore? Interesting. What about dumb phones that just have the bare necessities?
Oh no not running Linux. But if your intent is to avoid running sophisticated apps, why do you need Linux on your phone ?
Search settings? I sometimes can’t remember where something is. I use the search box in settings.
This is a joke or satire, no? Who the F would pay that much for a flip phone. You can get them for free can’t you?
I really don’t have a single favorite. I use them in situations where they’re the most suitable for my needs and my personal preferences. I think overall KDE/Plasma is the most versatile and flexible, customizable and theme-able. Pantheon is simple and polished, though you’ve got to install the extensions and tweaks; I really don’t know what the devs think with having no minimize button. It’s like a weird fetish that they force on all new installs. But once you add the extras, it’s a beautiful and simple interface. Bodhi’s Moksha is very weird but has its own charm. Also customizable beyond what most people even would know what to do with, but the thing I like most about the distro on the whole is it will run on lower end systems and yet still offer the kind of GUI that usually demands better resources. None of the others I’ve tried run as smoothly on equivalent low end hardware. So that’s its biggest advantage.
Like I said, each for their own scenario.
Using a few on different systems. KDE Plasma on one laptop my high end one that is pretty much my main daily machine. I also have Moksha on a Bodhi netbook. I have an ElementaryOS install so that’s running Pantheon. And finally, I have the Gnome / “Cosmic” in Pop - though I’ve yet to see it be much more than just a finely tuned Gnome.
I loved the ease of batch files in DOS - I guess it’s mostly because I used them since the early 90s in abundance. I haven’t yet gotten around to learning the best equivalent in Linux.
I’m getting Flatland vibes.
It’s also like 99% Shorts nowadays. Just keep coking up that media-induced Attention Deficit Disorder. People’s attention spans are not quite short enough yet. Like when you start a video and IMMEDIATELY a banner comes up and covers half the screen and says HEY CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS OTHER VIDEO! Click Click click clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick have some caffeine too.
Good thing I never bother with YouTube’s feed. I use a downloader to grab subscribed new videos and that’s that. They dug their own graves.
