    I used to keep them all in my .bashrc, later I moved to keeping them in a .scripts folder in my home, then I add it to my $PATH.
    Technically I could just make them all fish shell functions, but I figure it makes more sense to write regular bash (and have them no matter what shell I’m currently using) than the odd ball fish syntax no one really shares online.


  • AFAIK GIMP only gained GTK 3 support on Nov 2024 and they’re still working on GTK 4.
    If this is really GTK 4, they might have forked from GIMP for a while now.
    There’s chances this really is a brand new UI on top of GIMP as opposed to just being a layout change and rename, but I guess someone would have to poke at it further to confirm.







  • “CyberAlberta’s investigation found that WebinarTV primarily gains initial access to Zoom webinars via third-party browser extensions. These extensions can access webinar links when a user either inadvertently grants calendar permissions—exposing meeting invitations—or willfully submits meeting details into the WebinarTV platform,” the report said. “WebinarTV is believed to leverage a range of browser extensions that provide functionalities such as AI powered transcription and note-taking tools, or tools to automate the joining of online meetings.

    Remember folks, be skeptical of every single extension you add to your browser. Try to install only the absolutely necessary and if possible, only FOSS extensions.
    This model of offering simple functionality together with malware is so widespread, you wouldn’t believe.

    • Eh, I don’t see the point. It seems Void already has a TUI installer you can use, then afterwards you just gotta Install your DE of choice.
    • Void is a smaller distro, and as such you might not find as much help for it online compared to other distros, so I think think it’d be best for you to use it directly and do things the “manual” way first so you can gain familiarity with its inner-workings, so you can better serve yourself/fix issues you encounter.
      Jumping directly into a “niche of a niche” distro that does everything for you doesn’t sound like a good idea if you don’t already have familiarity with the base system, IMO.
