In fairness though that's just a UI for git in the same vein as things like GitKraken or GitCola atm if I'm not mistaken

Both very helpful, thank you! I can probably see about setting up joystickwake manually anyhow, would be worth it even if it's a fiddly process just for something like this.

 

I've been having problems for a bit now where I'll have my screen shut off on me due to incorrectly being considered idle when doing a variety of things, chiefly when an emulator is focused and my computer is only receiving any inputs from a controller via xinput (only mouse and keyboard inputs seem to be considered when determining whether the user is idle), or when I've got something like VLC focused and am watching a video and not touching any sort of input device at all. I'm looking for some way I can have idle timing take into account xinput inputs (something I imagine will probably be more broadly Linux related) as well as things like either video playback or when I have certain programs focused such as VLC or emulators like bsnes and Dolphin (which I imagine might be more reliant on awesomewm itself). I've tried looking but thus far have only encountered instructions on broadly changing how long until the screen suspends with xset, which doesn't really solve the issue as I'm likely to have my screen shut off on me still anyways if I do that, it'll just be a lot longer into i.e. a gaming session or watching a video or something that it'll happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there's a relatively obvious awesomewm Lua scripting thing I'm failing to consider.

Honestly, even as someone who's big on only ever using Linux and never having to use Windows as my actual operating system ever again, I've spun up VMs running Windows so I can run Photoshop or something, because the Linux alternatives like GIMP really pale in comparison. Like, I actually hate using GIMP for some stuff at all.

At least in the case of Windows I can understand it, since its stranglehold on the OS market makes it so it's legitimately very, very difficult for people to switch since they'll often rely on Windows-only software that might also work poorly in Wine on Linux, if it works at all. My mom uses many such pieces of software for her job. Chrome though, it feels like there really is no real reason to keep using it other than plainly being stubborn and/or afraid of change. Chrome doesn't even barely have any real killer features other than Google having intentionally made using some of their services slightly worse to use on Firefox, which I would hardly call a "feature" either.

That kinda blows. I won't pretend I was making heavy use of it when I used to use Windows or anything, but definitely I'd bust it open on occasion when I wanted something with mild enough rich text formatting, but felt LibreOffice Writer felt overkill for whatever I was doing.

Love love love handmade plushies! I'm learning knitting right now and intend to learn how to crochet at some point and I've been wanting to make myself + my friends some plushies too

This UI already feels way better for reasons I can't even quite describe. Nice!

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

i'll bully them away >:3 !!!

On the real I feel like Lemmy/the wider linkagg fediverse will prob be good at self-moderating somewhat like other fediverse software's communities are. It'll probably be easier for admins to noice bad actors on their instance than it was for site admins on Reddit to notice bad actors there because the admins-to-users ratio on here will probably be better, even if things are kinda concentrated on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and beehaw right now (people will probably spread out as they get a grip on how things work), and the average user will probably grow a stronger connection with their instance admins for that reason too, making it easier to address things like that since more people will be able to comfortably contact their admins directly. And if said bad actor is from another instance, and the admins of that instance refuse to deal with them, there's always community-level bans (I think anyways? I'm still not familiar with the comm mod tools) and, if more drastic measures are needed, defederation.

I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)

I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable
