  • Heyy, I’m too in the process of moving from windows (10) to debian :) (though I’m very new to linux, but not new to open source software)

    I was surprised that notepad++ didnt have native support for linux and while I tried many stuff, indeed I couldnt find a real replacement. I have kinda concluded that I will either use bottles with wine to run notepad++ (takes around half a minute to open) or use Geany and try to customize it as much as I can. (There are also Notepadqq which is kinda dead and NotepadNext which is still in very early stage.) I’ll probably go with Geany and chech on NotepadNext if it evers becomes good enough.

    I had a recent post about running windows stuff on linux and people gave me some good advice here: https://mander.xyz/post/18701186

    Edit: I just found Textadept, might check it later (found it from a comment under this video).












  • I think China, which is very overpopulated, would really need some population shrinkage. It’s getting tiresome seeing articles whining about being “bad” for the “economy”.

    The whole world probably has too many people, it’s just that the decline should be at a bearable rate (not too slow, not to fast) and occur at appropriate rates per area (some areas may be more overpopulated than others). And I ~dont give a care about the economy, we have means of aleviating the issues of decreased workforce by using robots, reducing unecessary jobs to save resources (like the whole ad industry?), but we live in such a capitalistic society that you ~have to step on others to survive and waste resources just to make money… Maybe this “economy” should be scrapped eventually.

    PS. Lol, “oh no, the diamond sells are dropping, pump up more humans!” Pathetic…



  • Well, I tried.

    I refused to use messenger for about 6years and I tried to bring people to signal (at least ~most of my family still uses it), but after changing environment and essentially doing a semi-fresh start, I realized I had to give up some (much) privacy to have any social life.

    I’d really like not to have such a dilemma, but I dont think I would go very far with ~zero social life (would probably have strong depression, no friends and possibly many other issues).🥲 Fb is ~forcing it to us.

    At least while I might have lost some privacy, I help others gain privacy (I help them use/find open source, privacy respecting alternatives to various programs).

    Also, Signal really didnt help me convince people use it by requesting a phone number… Its hard to convince people that dont care much about privacy and want ease of access to give their phone number to an unknown app (I know it’s not that big of a deal, but they dont know what I know and dont care much even if I explain it to them).

    PS. I’m still not making an insta account tho😅

    Standing? What is this? (Writing as I’m currently pacing around the house with my phone). Pacing helps me relax or think about stuff. Also whenever I’m waiting the bus, almost all the times I’ll be pacing around (I kinda wonder how others can simply stay still), 1-2k of my daily steps might happen around bus stops and 2-5k might happen inside the house, lol (a week ago I did ~13k steps according to my phone without leaving the house that day). I feel so oppressed when people tell me not to pace around (or not to move my legs) :/

    PS. Without leaving the house and being around the middle of my day, my phone has recorded around 3k steps today.





  • all those talented female lyricists and R&B singers who got Thanos snapped out of existence in the late 90s because they didn’t want to sell sex

    I dont know much about 90s music😅, could you please share some of those lyricists and singers (or suggest any of their songs)? I’m interested in listening to some of their songs :)

    Kinda sad that I wasn’t much aware of this issue…
