Yeah, it’s fantastic. It’s more effective at this than I thought because even though I use git a lot for programming and projects, I’ve admittedly forgotten far too often to commit and push/pull trivial changes on devices and in most cases, all I need is just for dotfiles to sync across devices anyway.

I use Syncthing with a folder called “Configuration Files” where I drop all my sync-able configs and dotfiles and I simply symlink them as needed.

I truly wish to see the day when any computer can easily run Linux painlessly.

I think the easiest ones I’ve seen are Linux Mint and all the vanilla installs of other mature distros, but I still see cases from time to time with friends and strangers who still somehow manage to get their setups in some issue or another, whether it’s their hardware’s fault or factory defaults / configs getting in the way or their own.

I’m just glad that these are getting much better than ever as time goes on.

I don’t get the point of this.

Since when did Sync masquerade itself as FOSS?

Just use whatever you want. Isn’t that why we’re all here?

Is the Sync noise getting to you? Just ignore it. It’s natural since the app just opened up and there were a significant amount of Reddit refugees that badly wanted their app back.

Once upon a time, I used to care and disabled adblocking by default.

But then they tried adding malware and ridiculous amounts of requests to third-party sites I didn’t consent to share, and is actually consuming metered data on mobile back then when unlimited data wasn’t an option.

So yeah, I’m adblocking by default now that it’s been abused and it’s necessary for self-defense.

I think it’s par for the course for user traffic to normalize since the platform gets visitors just by simply existing.

But if they actually matched that against old users of the site, then it actually means something. Most of the users that left are usually power users and have used Reddit long enough to use third-party apps and can’t stand the bullshit changes.
