Bluesky = fedivapour?

Sadly it’s more difficult to turn computers, websites, tech services, and operating systems upside down.

Challenge accepted!

That works, thanks!

Although I think this is the main link? https://sfba.social/@historyofpunkrock

I'm new to the fediverse and can't access the link.

I'm on pixelfed.ca and logged in, but the link demands that I log into an account on pixtagram.social. (I also did a global search for "punk rock history" but it doesn't show up.)

Is there a way I can see it without creating a pixtagram.social account?

I can't wait until Half-Life 3 finishes loading!

Colour-differentiated workspaces (pixelfed.ca)
 

Using Linux Mint 22.1 Xfce. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/40243032

New to Lemmy.

And new to workspaces. I'd get confused at first which workspace I was on.

Different backgrounds helped a bit, but I'm almost always in maximized windows.

I wanted to have different colours for windows, panel etc but couldn't.

So I adjusted panel opacity to 95% on Enter, 75% on Leave. That allows the background colour to bleed through.

A user on the Linux Mint forums suggested adjusting workspace margins to let the background show even when windows are maximized.

So now I have an 8-pixel strip of desktop showing just above the panel. Combined with the lowered panel opacity, I never have to wondr anymore what workspace I'm on.

  • Workspace [1/2/3] with windows minimized.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Leave" opacity of 95%.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Enter" opacity of 75%.

(I read somewhere that it's better to host images for Lemmy on Pixelfed. So I made my first post there with all the screenshots, and linked to it. Hope that works.)

PS: Anyone have any other ideas to help distinguish workspaces at a glance?

European alternatives to GitHub & VS Studio Marketplace (lemmy.ca)
 

On the database website, I didn't see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.

"Software development, collaboration & hosting"?

Here are some:

Alternative to... lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc

  • Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)

Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)

Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed
