The keybinds you can set up in e.g Ranger for navigating or moving files are incredibly fast and easy. Sure you could just use shell commands/aliases etc. but the visual representation of the file system that a TUI provides, I find really useful.

Openboard with swipe is the current champ 💪

Sometimes a dream takes a dark turn and that’s usually when I realise that it is in fact a dream. I start to look for an exit and awareness shifts to my physical body eyelids opening as the way out.

maybe look into udiskie for automounting/unmounting your external drives. It notifies, ejects and powers them off nicely with a terminal command you could alias, script or keybind to something real simple. Then in ranger I have ‘gm’ set as shortcut to go to media. I don’t need the GUI file manager that often anymore.

can’t access the GIFs panel without internet access…just standard emoji…I don’t use those anyway so can deal with that.

Yes probably. It’s a compromise and not ideal. I revoke internet access and on Graphene OS not tied to a Google account. We all find our own peace with this kind of thing. Florisboard looked very promising but the swipe text wasn’t implemented last I checked.

Unfortunately Gboard is still the best around. Block it’s internet access.

After some time living with Gimp/Krita etc. you will learn to do the things you did with Photoshop. It does takes some time and research/learning. I was real comfy with PS and do miss it but the more I’ve gone without, the more I’ve found ways to tackle the things I need to do with alternatives.

Thanks, this worked for me…been bothering me a little while now why I couldn’t see my subs etc. 👍

mainstream’s not all it’s cracked up to be…

Beautiful game and… time for games… it still holds up. Emulate the Amiga version and ignore the rest for the purest experience (FS-UAE/Win UAE). Headphones on :)

Thanks for your hard work. Noticing janky bits getting ironed out everyday. Has anyone had any luck making Lemmy.world work in Qutebrowser? It just hangs on loading comments/posts…Any work arounds? I’d love that…working quite well in Firefox and mobile though.

True. Fair point. Just suggestions to make YouTube more bearable for the OP.

Freetube if you want a standalone desktop app that stores all your subscriptions. Invidious instances in the browser. Newpipe on Android. All of these no ads and need no login. 😊

@sparedwhistle@lemmy.ml the way to to use this is with an org-headline or task. For example you have an org document with “*TODO Write 500 words”. When you start the task ‘M-x-org-clock-in’ whilst your cursor is on the headline and when you finish ‘M-x-org-clock-out’. You’ll see a timer running in the modeline and It’ll take care of the properties for you on completion.

I use Ctrl-w-c (it’s on the same side of the keyboard) or space-b-k. I’m sure you could you set your own convienient shortcut, it’s Emacs after all.

Nice work :) The only kind of light theme I could possibly go for is something a bit like this…

Use it everyday and you just pick things up over time, you don’t need to know everything. Make your terminal pretty colours. Fetishize about keyboards and the simplicity of plain text.

I think it’s important to design your system around your own way of thinking/working. Sure, steal and adapt useful ideas from others but with time your system will shape to what you need it to be. Personally I use 3 folders ~/vault ~/vault/journals ~/vault/pages that contain .md and a few .org files. It’s all in Dropbox. I use Emacs (with md-roam) & Obsidian (with org plugin) for some cross compatibilty and mobile access. Journals folder is for daily/fleeting notes (an inbox of sorts). Pages are more fleshed out Evergreen or Zettelkasten type notes. I tried PARA but it didn’t really work for me…everything can be resurfaced through tags, interlinking and search so I wouldn’t get any benefits from that kind of file/folder hierarchy. So to answer the question, the best alternative system is probably one of your own design.
