@tio made another TROMjaro video 🙂 - videos.trom.tf/w/bE5Rw3pc5WvmL…
Tio's sound is a bit different this time because he has COVID, wishing you a quick recovery my friend 
If you watch this video you'll understand how awesome XFCE is, I'm impressed by how such a lightweight DE could be this much extensible. And of course #TROMjaro takes all of this awesomeness and makes it usable and easy for users, having sane defaults is very important if you're new to linux.
TROMjaro: How to make it functional
In this video we will look at some of the core features of TROMjaro, the ones that make it easy to use. https://www.tromjaro.com/videos.trom.tf

is not very comfortable with using the terminal so he always prefers GUI programs if available. But me being a fan of the linux #terminal, I wanted to help them improve it. Tio now calls me "The terminal guy", haha 😂
Anyway, if you wanna know what exactly we changed and what all features were added you can read through our release notes here - forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…
(Just read under the section "Making the the terminal super cool.")
l also added a little "vim_mode" for all the vim fans 😉

With this update we are moving to a new and better theme, and we are solidifying our Layout Switch app to include several layouts. A new theme This is how TROMjaro looks like now: This is the first time we are changing the default theme.TROMjaro Forum

Thank you 🥰
How are you and sasha doing right now ? Are you feeling better now ? I know covid can be a real PITA.

So you use linux, that's nice 🙂. And its useful to know the basic terminal commands, you can always just look up the man pages to show you more info when you need it :)
I'm now more experienced with terminals, and I've tweaked a bunch of things to make them easier for me, the post above explains some of it. I don't know what exactly it was, but I think it was learning vim that actually made me realize that terminal is easier to use in some cases compared to a GUI.

Fellow #fosstodon users, if you didn't know a new #emoji has been added to our instance !
This is it -
Isn't it just the cutest emoji ever ?
To use this emoji you just have to type blobcatgiggle with two colon : symbols on either side of it.
Thank you to @fosstodon admins @kev & @mike for adding this emoji upon my request, you guys are awesome 🥰

#Tromjaro linux has a nice little thing that I believe is useful for all linux users, this is it - tromjaro.com/apps/
You can find hundreds of Trade-free linux apps there, all of them are GUI programs and there are screenshots attached for each one. Even though TROMjaro is not my daily driver I sometimes use this service to search for apps like photo editors, video players, etc.
The install button on these pages may only work on TROMjaro, but its very easy for me to find the package name.

I'm glad you found this useful, if you want you can submit apps like Quod Libet yourself, let this be a nice place for people to find linux apps :)
BTW, this service is integrated into the fediverse itself, so you can just follow @trom to get notified about new app additions.

@tblock is a system-wide ad & tracker blocker, I just installed it on my system and it works like a charm 😀
Its currently just a CLI program, I like that minimalism. But they're also working on making a GUI for this if you're interested ;)

TBlock basically does the same thing, but automates this entire process for you, and you're also able to subscribe to multiple blocklists as well, not just the one shown on that video. TBlock can also update and sync the blocklist as well :)

It was 1972, and I was in S. Korea, at an airport waiting for a flight that got delayed. Bonus, a bowling alley nearby to kill some time!
I rent my shoes, find a ball I like and roll my first ball down the alley.
I knocked down all but 1 pin!
THEN, 4 arms come down from above the pins and start clearing away what I'd knocked down.
They were still using pin-boys! 😁

@tio just made a video showcasing the Layout switcher & Theme switcher apps on TROMjaro - videos.trom.tf/w/gsVhyEnuVyCFF…
Having been worked on both of these apps, I'm very happy to see it in action 😃
Today if you search online most of the videos showcasing this distro were showing the old gnome version, even though last year TROMjaro moved to XFCE and a lot of things have changed since then. So yeah, this new video will be useful for giving people more relevant & updated info.
TROMjaro: All about properly customizing a Linux Distro
In this video series we will explore TROMjaro in more depth. Today we are looking at how easy it is to customize TROMjaro with just a few clicks. Our Layout and Theme Switcher apps make it quite straight forward.videos.trom.tf

If you haven't read "The origin of most problems" by @tio, you should give it a try. This book explains in simple terms how one single thing, just one, creates most of our problems regardless of societies, cultures, and eras: from famine to wars, from data collection to abuse, from crimes to climate change, from corruption to poor quality goods and services, and so forth.

Will There Be FEWER Linux Distros In The Future? (Especially Arch Based Distros)

I think it'd be really cool if Arch Linux started becoming more like NixOS and starts supporting reproducibility. It would be a game changer IMO !

Do you want to run your own #fediverse instance without having to deal with all the technical jargon of setting up and maintaining servers ?
webape.site is a new service that offers managed #hosting of #mastodon and #peertube instances. They also offer #nextcloud installations and #wordpress websites too. Their price is really cheap compared to other similar services.
You can find them on the fediverse at @webape

For people who don't know, I have a Friendica account at @roko. I will be using it to write long posts and replies since Friendica doesn't have any character limit, and they also allow text formatting and inline images so I can write entire blog posts there if I want to 😁
And now I have set up my Friendica account to automatically boost everything I post here on my mastodon account, and its working like a charm 😀

Pinned post not working properly
I have pinned this post on my friendica account, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. In my account it appears like that post is pinned, but if I open another browser and go to my public profile here, it doesn't show any pinned posts. The same thing happen with mastodon federation, if I visit this friendica account from mastodon it doesn't show any pinned posts. Why does this happen ?

Mastodon developers probably would've realized the usefulness of editing because they're trying to add the feature to mastodon now.

in reply to Rokosun • • •personally, and I'm not saying this is *right so everyone must be the same*, I think striving for the appearance of online perfection is problematic. it disassociates us from proud mistake-making humans and makes posts seem too clean. in short, I'm happy without an edit button..
but then I don't use Mastodon so whatever they decide doesn't bother me.
maybe I'm looking into it too much though 🤣
Rokosun
in reply to Paul Wilde :blobcatnim_new: :dontpanic_nobg: • • •Yeah I know there are people who thinks like you, and its a valid point of view. For me personally it all changed when I started using matrix/element because that allowed me to edit my messages (unlike other messengers like whatsapp/signal). So after spending some time with these nice features now I can't live without it anymore 😂
Maybe I'm kind of a perfectionist or maybe I have OCD, I dunno, but little typos on one of my messages annoy me to no end
Rokosun
in reply to Rokosun • • •BTW, here is an example of why editing is important - fosstodon.org/@futureisfoss/10…
I don't want people to misunderstand that post and think I'm being rude, but currently the only way to edit that post is to "Delete and redraft" which would break the entire thread along with it.
When such subtle differences in text based communication can cause misunderstandings between people, having to correct your messages in future replies is messy and inefficient.

in reply to Rokosun • • •Paul Wilde :blobcatnim_new: :dontpanic_nobg:
in reply to Rokosun • • •Thanks for the example, I don't really see how it makes a difference though - to me, the fact you replied correcting the misunderstanding in a polite way is much more effective than changing what you said and hoping nobody noticed...
anyway, let's just say here that we're both right and what either of us decide to do makes absolutely no difference to the other in any way 😆 😄
