That's super easy to fix with tools like entr. That's what I use when I write Markdown documents so I can automatically generate the plain text file to a PDF document using Pandoc, and preview it simply by saving the file in Neovim. :)

    AFAIK. All major clients for XMPP is open source and gratis.

    Two good options for Android is Conversations and Snikket. Both are available on F-Droid and Google Play Store. Conversations on GPS is a donationware version though.

    On iOS you have Snikket and Monal.

    On the desktop you have Gajim. I think it's available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

    You also need an account. Conversations offers accounts for free over at https://account.conversations.im/. There's probably a lot more services as well.

    If I didn't know anything about Linux, and had Linus Tech Tips as my main source of knowledge in regards to Linux, I would have considered Linux to be a toy novelty project at best.

    Linus Tech Tips should focus on what they're good at, which is, err... Well. I bet they're good at something. Perhaps making noodles or something?

    Software piracy is the very reason that Microsoft got all the market share and had the power to ruin it for Linux.

    Either pay for the software, use free alternatives or write your own software.

    I have the Gateron G Pro 3.0 White switches, which I like, considering their low price. However. They're not that smooth compared to the Red variant.

    I previously had the Red variant, which I found to be smoother. And to my understanding this has to do with the springs being lighter in the white ones, which is making them feel less smooth? To my understanding, a heavier spring covers up the, err.. un-smoothness?

    Anyway. I don't want the most smoothest switch ever, and I'm too old and too tired to go the custom switch route again. I'm okay with 'good enough'.

    I haven't kept up with this community for like 5 years or so now. I assume we've seen like a billion new switches since then. Do you have any recommendations?

     

    I have an old Google account that I only use for one specific thing today: YouTube recommendations.

    Their algorithm is actually decent. Which is not something I hear myself very often. And while it can be a trap, it does actually recommend me a fair bit of high quality content as long as I stay away from the obvious traps, make sure to block channels I don't like, and use the feature "not interested" on videos that I don't like.

    However. I would like to only use my web feed client and no Google account at all, but I would then miss out on the recommended videos.

    Is there some privacy respecting alternative to this that I'm not aware of?
