Poster said huge overlap, not huge audience:) But I agree with the overlap. I use e/OS partly because I can run it on a Fairphone. I'd love to try Graphene.

Laurie is great. Back when I was a reporter I got to see here at work a few times and it was a blast. Ironically, I now do more old fashioned handwriting than ever because of two new-ish pieces of tech: a PineNote e-ink tablet running Xourn

I have come to be a daily KOReader user on my PineNote, and I love it, but dang it took me ages to figure out how to use it, so I am feeling a great deal of gratitude to this thread for making me feel less alone.

I've been daily driving on Fairphones for a few years as a tester for Murena. It's painless, and fits my threat model of trying to mitigate corporate tracking. My elderly mother uses it too. I really like the app store. No purchas

I now use Nextcloud both for a family server and an academic lab. It has become such a daily part of my life, and I am really grateful for it. I just wish the network effects were stronger so I could benefit more from the federated features

I have been relying on pandoc for many years and had no idea I could use templates like this, which I suppose is pathetic but also indicates just how powerful the defaults are on their own.

I recently got a FW12 and, for a random data point, my kids love it: the color, the ability to do art on the touchscreen, the foldability. And I love all those things too, in addition to getting to play with various flavors of Linux on it.

It is strange to me that tiling windows have never become a norm. I really don't understand how people live with all these windows piled on top of each other! System76's COSMIC DE has been a real life-changer for me in making tili

My parish priest told me he uses AI to edit newsletter posts. He didn't say he used it to write. And he mentioned using Magesterium.ai, which is a chatbot trained on a pretty conservative Catholic corpus (eg, it knows almost nothing ab

I've been using Vim only about a year, and just finished drafting an academic-trade crossover book with extensive endnotes in it. I've tried Pencil and Goyo, but ended up finding that a pretty tiny vimrc file was all I needed. No

For me, too late, because my workflow is already full of little pandoc scripts that do document conversion wherever I need it! But I wonder if the killer app might be a browser plugin, not a website. Highlight text on any webpage, convert i

For example, the Colorado Sun has labels on every story for the nature of reporting that went into it: https://coloradosun.com/ Some may find it surprising that this is left over from the Sun's early support from the c

I'm not sure I agree. It takes getting used to, and the default designs tend to feel old-fashioned, giving a false impression that it won't do what you need. The settings feel like you're almost in a config file. Except for o

Remove all the xfce design elements you don't like. Ytou can even use a borderless theme, eg https://github.com/ushioichi/borderless-xfwm-theme I added i3 so everything is on the keyboard. XFCE is great because it

Funny that he didn't use the .md extension. Maybe because he started doing it before he expected his markup would merit its own filetype?

Amen. Not only do they make hardware in the US (though not laptops yet), they contribute great Linux software.

I use CC regularly for editing large text files (especially turning interview transcripts into something readable) and have found it works much better than web chat interfaces because of filesystem access and ability to work with large file

I was speaking at a conference recently and was asked to chair the session at the last minute. It was hybrid, so all the speakers needed to share their slides on Zoom. I have been daily driving Linux for 14 years, and this has almost never

+1. I have tried a bunch of local models (albeit the smaller end, b/c hardware limits), and I can't get handwriting recognition yet. But online Gemini and Claude do great. Hoping the local models catch up soon, as this is a wonder
