I think you need to read it as following on from

60. Turn the Moorgate line back into a Tube line

That takes us here

Blocking over 300 including ALL town/city communities because they are ALWAYS negative BUT Lemmy Connect also lets me filter (hide) on regex for communities and posts. This is invaluable to me- I was going insane trying to keep up with the arms race of cross posts to identical or near identical named communities on endless new instances.

Posts filter:

/elon musk/, /heathcliff without heathcliff/, /neuralink/, /furry/

Communities filter:

/politics/, /news/, /meme/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/, /moe/, /dank/, /yiff/, /shitty/, /horror/

And if my work use gitlab and I don’t code at weekends?

The thing is the VS code handles everything (with extensions). If I want to use pandoc, or CSV to markdown table, python linting, Go, whatever, there’s extensions that can handle all of these equally well and consistently, for example format on save.

If I want to use jetbrains then the pycharm for python, intelliJ for Java, Goland for golang… Then there’s licencing depending on whether I’m using a personal licence or corporate laptop, whether I have to get a licence from my employer etc.

For me it’s not so much that it’s so good, but that it works with everything in a consistent and obvious way plus I can install it on any machine I might be using.

I think it is better to have a small number of posts with real engagement than a large number of posts with no engagement on them at all

I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.

Connect. I have jerboa and sync installed but the regex filters in connect are are a killer feature and I’m quite happy with the app

I’ve been where this article describes, so has the author. Excellent article.

SystemD replaced a variety of Linux init systems across different distros almost 10 years ago now but it is still resented by a significant and vocal section of the Linux community.

Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution that uses sysvinit, runit or OpenRC instead of systemd.

Realistically, at this point, non-SystemD distros are of niche interest. Devuan is one of the distros available in that niche
