he has said a lot of things to get his point across. when you are dealing with people that speak multiple languages via mailing list, sometimes it takes a little hyperbole.

my complaint about him is how little he cares about security. great lead dev in so many ways except that aspect

psych ward was worse than jail. I’ve been to both. did not help. caused trauma, more problems. going to an expensive dual diagnosis (mental & drug) rehab, then sober living was great and did help though

thanks for the comment, used tree-style tabs forever and now switched

this is a seperate issue, and no, it wouldn’t fix the issue, maybe improve it a little though. as stated in the article, not everything would be in ~/.config/kde, and IME there are files scattered over ~/.local/share that you might also consider config you want to export.

Personally, I’ve tracked down 80-90% of the settings I care about and put them in git, but it was tedious, and some things can’t really be shared across machines, while some other things need to be cleared of machine specific information to work as a new “default base config”

i haven’t looked too deeply into it, but a lot of kde config files already have some sort of update and version data. transitioning to new locations shouldn’t be TOO difficult. I think everyone can agree it should be done. I imagine that naming and specific locations could turn into bikeshedding though.

It’s been tempting for me to use some LD_PRELOAD magic to clean things up. I’m the kind of person that keeps my home directory read-only and uses custom environment variables for particularly egregious applications.

I did like 15 years ago. Now everyone wants to use discord. It wasn’t up to me. Social factors are a bitch

I don’t criticize, I just give fair warnings. I want people to enjoy Linux like I do, not call me every other week because something is “broken”

i left reddit at least 5 years ago
