Seriously stop polluting my $HOME!

.pki .mozilla .java .gnupg .emacs.d .cargo .thunderbird .steam

dotfiles and their consequences were a disaster for the penguin race.

This is a very petty issue but I'm still PISSED. angery

Sometimes you can move stuff to the xdg user dirs but it just won't default there! The Archwiki page has a list of applications w/ tips on how to change them

Of the ones in the screenshot I know for a fact you can move the emacs config dir from ~/.emacs.d to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs and it'll use that directory as long as ~/.emacs.d/init.el and/or ~/.emacs(.el) don't exist

(I have spent a lot of time trying to keep my home folder clean ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

I generally think the volunteers who work on these projects deserve the utmost respect on their issue trackers and official channels, but the ones in this list marked as "wontfix" deserve pigpoopballs in their pull requests.

Oh, it is endlessly frustrating and almost always for the dumbest reasons you can imagine

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
