Keyboard shortcuts in general.

  • Alt + left right (previous/next page in browsers)

  • Windows + 1 (2, 3, ...) on Windows and KDE focuses the window at that position in the taskbar

  • Alt + Tab to switch windows (hold shift to go backwards)

  • Windows + Tab to switch windows within the same application (like, all browser windows if you're in a browser)

  • Alt + 1 (2, 3, ...) on Windows/Linux usually selects the corresponding tab

  • Ctrl + Tab to cycle through tabs like Alt-Tab does for windows (hold shift to go backwards)

  • In most browsers or things with a URL/go to bar, Ctrl+L will focus that. No need to click the address bar, Ctrl+L, example.com, Enter.

  • In Discord and Slack, you can press Ctrl+K to open a box to quickly type a channel/DM name to go to it quickly

  • If you have them, the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys are actually pretty useful. Press Home instead of scrolling all the way back up.

  • F1 is usually help

  • F2 is usually rename

  • F3 is usually search

Ah yes, he's the only government allowed to collect taxes.

Ubuntu 7.10 so late 2007, but I guess the nerd part came when I installed Arch in 2011. Still running that very same install.

Gotta condition americans to the norm of guilty until proven innocent early!

And hopefully ad blockers too.

My own personal example: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/s/8FM1ZvXi68

It just doesn't look great nor serious nor welcoming.

The guy gives a ton of "I don't care about anyone's use cases except mines" vibes too. Also called Gnome and KDE teletubbies DEs when I mentioned xcomposite being an important feature. Basically considering the widely known issues around multimonitor vsync and mismatched resolutions and all as basically not real issues with Xorg.

XLibre is 100% a political fork because the guy claims Xorg is deprecated by a big tech conspiracy pushing inferior software onto users. There's nothing wrong with wanting to continue Xorg's legacy but come on we don't have to pretend Xorg is this perfect thing that always works. Xorg has been hated for decades for a reason. This xkcd exists for a reason: https://xkcd.com/963/

I think it's also made much more apparent when that demographic that had no interest in computers were forced to be chronically online due to the lockdowns and quickly found the anti-vaxx groups, and suddenly felt like their opinion matters and that everyone is an expert if they do a little bit of "research".

Why though?

We can just subscribe to the community on lemmy.ml, there's no point reposting when it's already there ready to federate.

It was made back when Facebook had that old style UI, in 2010. And then interest in Facebook's format kinda died, and so did the interest in the project.

What do you want the UI for? For configuration it's usually meh because it's the kind of thing you configure by config file, often generated config files even. For stats it's where it gets interesting, usually third-party options like Grafana is used along with something like Prometheus to collect the metrics.

When it comes to easy configuration, newer options go for the zero configuration angle rather than a nice UI to configure it. Just need some Docker tags and Traefik automagically configures itself, so the UI is just for viewing information.

I don't remember the exact details but it didn't work right. That was arguably a couple years ago on a server distro approaching EOL, may have been long fixed. It involved Android 4.4.
