I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.

For example, I run:

longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful

Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain “# keep”) in your history to remove or keep.

Arch users switching back to Arch after 10 minutes of using Ubuntu:

Yes. You choose the compose key in your DE settings (usually right alt key), then you can press it and type compose sequences to insert unusual symbols or strings.

Thank you very much!

Looks like the site is down or blocked in my country.

Could anyone please be so nice and copy paste those commands here?

It’s worse when you have a bugged function, try to fix it, and no matter what you change it’s still bugged because an hour later you realize there is a function with the same name that redefines the function you were changing anyway somewhere else in the code.

Can you press “custom” and enter 0?

I wish it was only about software…

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

JXL.

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I’d follow him.

If I wanted to see someone’s tweets all day, I’d be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

Is KDE 3 so bad that people only prefer <3 or >3, but never =3?

I’ve heard of Junction but don’t remember why I chose not to use it, possibly it’s too big in size or something compared to Braus.

True, Braus is pretty limited.

On android you better stick to UTC Check, as this other user says:

I’ve been using it since forever and loving it.

I modified Braus source code (it’s in Python) to use private Firefox windows, but I don’t remember the details. Possibly you just need to create a new .desktop file for private window and it will just work on Linux. Except that unless you choose a new icon, you’ll have 2 firefox options in menu and won’t know which one is private and which one is normal.

Okay, so long story short, I hate it when stuff opens in my browser, be it new browser tabs or browser windows. Those sites pollute my browser history and save some unwanted cookies etc. I’m very religious about my browser, and other than some chosen sites in normal tabs, everything else is in private windows.

The first solution to stop stuff from opening links in my browser randomly was this:

https://github.com/mortenn/BrowserPicker

It’s an app that acts as http/https URL handler but does not open links, instead it presents a list of browser’s you have and passes the link to open with any chosen browser. You can also choose to open in private mode. This makes sense because sometimes I want different kinds of links to open in different browsers. I wish this was built into the OS instead of forcing you to have a default browser.

This one is Windows only, but I know there exist some Linux alternatives, like Braus:

https://github.com/properlypurple/braus

Now having all links open in private windows might be great but there’s one thing it doesn’t solve. You might now about containers, the separate spaces for sites to open, it allows you to log in into a website twice simultaneously, in different containers, each will have their one cookies.

Unfortunately, private windows all store their data in a single storage, and do not support containers. You can’t open two private windows and log in into two different accounts on a single website.

In case you need this, there is this extension that allows you to open links in your normal (non private) window, but they’ll get opened in temporary containers automatically and those containers get destroyed with all their cookies and other stuff after you close those temporary container tabs:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/

It has its advantages but also has drawbacks. Those sites will still be kept in your history. You can either delete them manually or enable the setting to delete from history automatically, but due to a limited browser API it does not work as one would expect. I can tell more about that if you wish.

Basically that’s it. Temporary containers are great but not too polished yet, and there is a huge number of settings in that extension if that’s your kind of thing. If not and you need some kind of “it just works” solution, I don’t know what else to suggest you for now.

Feel free to PM me if you need help with configuring temporary containers extension.

There is an extension that can make externally opened links to open in temporary containers.

Not quite what you want but could work, depending on what’s your workflow and what you’re trying to achieve.

There’s also a software that acts like a browser and handles links, but instead of opening them, it shows you a list of browser’s you have installed and you can choose which one to use. It also has an option to open said links in private windows (incognito) instead of normal windows.

Again, probably not the solution you wanted, but works for me.

Of you like any of the two solutions I listed above, let me know, I’ll send you the links.

I’d say nothing that can’t be achieved by docstrings.

Extend, Embrace…

What next? Extinguish?

Heh, let them try.

Is it like show formatting marks / show hidden symbols in modern software, that shows ends of paragrahs and tabs?
