Whenever I use Discord, I use it reluctantly. - no native clients, you have to run the official client either in a browser or as an electron app and using either of them consume too much resources and make my laptop run much hotter than it

I frankly don't understand what to trust when it comes to sandboxing in Linux. On the one hand, there are SUID binaries like Firejail and on the other, we have bubblewrap which uses unprivileged user namespaces, also used by Podman and

Bromite's adblocking is nowhere near as effective as Firefox + uBlock. That being said, I'm using Bromite as my primary browser on Android too because it's much faster and snappier to use and has tab groups. Perhaps I'll

Even in cases when there are just 500 or 1k LOC with about 4-6 functions, code folding is immensely helpful in focusing on where you want and removing other distractions. Navigating between functions also becomes easier. I guess it's p

I'm using tree sitter based code folding right now on my script. Everything goes haywire after opening and closing folds after a few minutes, partials folds with missing elements start appearing everywhere. Falling back to the old rege

Must be fun working without code folding on a file with thousands of lines of code and dozens of functions. Also, the act of dismissing a feature as useless that you don't personally use is apparently one of the hallmarks of FOSS commu

It would obviously be easier for GNOME to ship an apparently more refined experience when customization possibilities are negligible and basic features are missing. One can't even change the fonts of GNOME out of the box without first
