The most entertaining part about using #SNAC for the #fediverse is the metaness of "Social Networks Are Crap" 😁

It's not quite as entertaining as recursive acronyms like #GNU and #WINE but I'll take it.

#AskFedi : How to bulk download all emails in inbox from #Yahoo email? I confess, I do not have a good habit of archiving and backing-up my emails. Now my inbox is booming and reaching ~10k emails since I have subscribed to a few mail lists. I do have #Alpine set up locally on my laptop to read them once in a while. I tried Select All and Save in Alpine however it is too slow and easily fail simply because it took so long that remote server would kill the connection.

How do you sort your files?
What’s your “home” file-tree look like?

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

I've been messing around with #LXQT in a vm lately. I really kind of like it.

Is anyone using LXQT in a multi-head / multi-monitor configuration?

Any issues with where it defaults to placing new apps, resuming from screensaver or hibernation, adding/removing displays while running? Anything else I'm not thinking about?

Found the issue with screenshots on #MangoWC having random lines in them.
I have found out that it is caused by animations on the layerrule for slurp. Previously I had as per the docs:

layerrule=noblur:1,layer_name:selection

But have discovered if I also disable animations for slurp then it takes crystal clear screenshot selections now.

layerrule=noanim:1,noblur:1,layer_name:selection

After decades on #Linux, #FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems

now that I'm fed, I can get back to work on the official announcement of #GNU #Linux-libre 6.19-gnu

Am 16.04. findet der Linux-Treff Nord beim Theo in der Schnepfenreuther Hauptstraße 19 statt.

Hier gibt es ab 18:00 Uhr gutes Essen und dann ab ca. 19:30 Uhr geht es mit #Linux und freier Software weiter.

Es steht u.a. folgendes an:

- Bericht Grazer Linuxtage,
- wir installieren Linux, gerade auch auf alte Rechner,
- #endof10,
- #lpd,
- und wer sonst noch etwas mitbringt.

Wieder im großen Saal.

Wenn Dich freie Software und Linux interessiert komm doch vorbei.

GOG is already working on native Linux support

Depois de todos esses anos nessa indústria vital, é a primeira vez que me dei conta de que chamar GNU/Linux de "Linux" é uma metonímia. Ao rememorar essa figura de linguagem, foi possível ver ainda que usar o nome de uma parte de algo no lugar da denominação do todo consiste em um tipo específico de metonímia chamado sinédoque.

Então, a quem está ciente da questão: que tal dispensar a sinédoque nesse caso?

A quem ainda não sabe bem do que se trata ou sua importância, sugere-se a leitura, p. ex., de Usuários do GNU que nunca ouviram falar do GNU.

I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.
