TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.
In the period where the following commands were valid
ATX3DT
ATA
Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.
The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

If you run a linux phone, how do you handle android specific apps? Like, for instance, my banking app, or my government ID app that only run on android.
Also open to hearing which linux phone you like best, or if you just use a random device as your phone, what is it, and what do you run on it?
I've been considering using the pilet as my daily driver phone going forward when it finally ships, but I wanted to know, how do I handle the "sometimes I still need an android app" side of things, and even if I didn't get the pilet, I'd still want a linux phone, as android feels less and less like it will remain open forever.
Add Weather Data Caching to Fastfetch

Non-systemd operating systems like the BSDs, Devuan, etc...
Do we think there will be some kind of work around in place for Gnome 50?
Has KDE articulated a plan either in favour or not for systemd-only in the future similarly to Gnome?
Xfce stated a direction?
I'm going to guess that Cosmic will always be only systemd.
I think it’s important to say specifically GNU/Linux instead of just #Linux, which is just the kernel of the operating system, so that people give up talking to me
I've added a shift+up history search to bash, same as the Amiga has had by default since forever. It's amazing. Why has it taken me so long to look up if that was possible? #linux

Friends,
Is there a good kind of course/ guide/ how to for learning how to use the terminal (I'm currently running Fedora Linux) for dummies. No crypic abbreviations, no "run this string of code" and then no further explanation, no assuming I know anything but how to open the terminal. Something that starts with telling me what everything means that I see even when I first open the terminal. How to do the most basic things, before going into the more interesting things. One stept after the other.
Please tell me there is such a thing? I really want to learn.

I'm an anarcho-syndicalist non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns, is bisexual, from Bergen, Norway, and whose posts automatically delete after seven days regardless of likes or boosts, because I have autism and say random shit sometimes.
I talk allot about free software, and I use Secureblue, GrapheneOS and Debian as part of my software setup. I also spend a lot of time experimenting with Linux, especially Debian Testing/Sid, GNOME, and KDE.
As an anarcho-syndicalist, I encourage you to check out NSF-IAA, the sole remaining anarcho-syndicalist organization in Norway that has been actively upholding these principles since 1916.
I maintain several pages and resource documents related to left-wing Anarchist reading below.

Super grateful for the investment and involvement that Microsoft has made in open source, and in the Fedora Project specifically. They're joining the project just as other contributors would and becoming part of our community!
Some of their impact so far:
* Modernizing Fedora Cloud image delivery
* Enabling Secure Boot on ARM
* Improving Fedora compatibility with Azure
* Fedora on WSL
There's even talk of having Azure Linux treat Fedora more like an upstream!

„Dostępne są także darmowe i otwartoźródłowe dystrybucje Linuxa. Mają one często niższe wymagania sprzętowe, są bezpieczniejsze (mniej podatne na złośliwe oprogramowanie), a ich użytkownicy mogą korzystać z bogatego, darmowego oprogramowania open source. Migracja do Linuxa może początkowo wiązać się z kosztami i wyzwaniami organizacyjnymi, jednak w dłuższej perspektywie takie rozwiązanie jest tańsze w utrzymaniu. Coraz więcej podmiotów publicznych w Europie decyduje się na takie podejście” – czytamy w odpowiedzi MC.
