*sigh* #AltText4You

Original post by Donald J Trump: Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Response from Aaron Rupar:

Every republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.

#ProTip - if your post consists purely of text, just post the text so that it is accessible to people with visual impairments. (This is not exactly rocket surgery, you know.)

@DigitalNaiv EXAKT DAS!

Mein #ProTip als #IT'ler: Nur die #Daten müssen geschützt werden die überhaupt erst erhoben und gespeichert wurden!

  • #BDSG verlangt sogar explizite #Datensparsamkeit. Und nur weil mensch ein "berechtigtes Interesse" gem. #DSGVO formulieren könnte heißt das noch lange nicht dass Mensch dies sollte.

IMHO sollten nur wirklich absolut notwendige Daten gespeichert und verarbeitet werden. D.h. bspw. "#KYC" und Addressdaten nur dort wo gesetzlich vorgeschireben (oder hei Versand notwendig)…

#ProTip if you’re using the Ice Cubes #mastodon client on #iOS & seeing ridiculously sluggish performance, the fix (#workaround, really) is…

refresh the timeline 💁‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

I don’t use timelines much so it didn’t occur to me. refreshing actually dumps the cache, which is the cause of the slowness (which gets worse the larger the cache grows)

I went spelunking in the app’s GitHub repo & found the applicable (closed) #bug, which is allegedly an Apple / SwiftUI List bug that was fixed in iOS 18 public beta 3 - but I’m on a more recent release so maybe a regression or just…¯_(ツ)_/¯

when you want to join a discussion about $COMPANY and you last interacted/worked for $COMPANY 10+ years ago, you better resist the urge to post. $COMPANY 10 years ago is not $COMPANY now. Whatever was, isn't anymore. Instead, listen and learn. Based on my experience of working at Red Hat for almost 20 years. The Red Hat from 20 years ago doesn't exist anymore. And that is not a bad thing. I stay because I like to learn what happens when you go from underdog to really big :)

@mosgaard @amadeus if you just want distraction-free editing, you may want to look at #VScodium [1], #neovim [2] or even #NvChad [3] for editing depending on how you feel like and what suits you best.

  • I recommend using #Markdown for Text until you want to turn it into something printable (unless you know #LaTeX), but noone's gonna judge you if you prefer @libreoffice to get a script written.

If you want or need to switch computers rather often, consider buying a SATA (or NVMe) - SSD with DRAM-Cache and a matching external enclosure and install your #distro of choice on that instead, as unlike #Windows, basically all #Linux distros allow installations on external drives.
-Don't forget to use #FullDiskEncryption!

If you need to share your work with others or sync it across devices, consider @nextcloud / #nextcloud.

  • If you don't have any admin already in your organization.and it's permissible but you don't want to setup your own, consider @monocles / #monoclesOcean and @Stuxhost for a fully-managed Nextcloud at reasonable prices.

As for #audio I'm shure you know #audacity and #LMMS...

If you use the terminal rather often, consider setting up some nifty aliases to make things faster.

  • For example if you want to just check if something is reachable, i.e. internet / network connection works, consider adding function isup() { ping -a -b -c 1 -D "$@"; } to your .bash_aliases file in your $HOME directory so if you use i.e. isup duckduckgo.com it'll do a single run of ping to reach said domain/FQDN/IP...

But the final #ProTip I can give you is to #backup your $HOME-directory under /home/yourusername because in it's hidden subdirectories, espechally $HOME/.config/ are usually all the settings for your applications stored so in case you need to setup a new machine or restore one from backups, this is where all the minor changes of yours to make your system work best for you are being stored.

  • You may need to press Ctrl+H IN THE File Manager to see hidden files.

  • For backups, tools like #DéjàDup make it easy to setup, backup and restore your files as you want or need, including encryption and deduplication.

I hope that'll help you not only get started but also get the maximum efficiency out of your distro as a creative tool without fuss.
