Thanks, I hadn’t heard of that. Time to add a few hundred lines to my dotfiles :)

What makes you think XDG doesn’t apply to non GUI apps?
Instant messaging.
20 years ago, there were half a dozen competing major platforms (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN, etc), like today.
The difference is that you had your choice of half a dozen clients that could each talk to ALL of the platforms. Adium, Trillian, Kopete, etc.
Today’s kids have no idea what we lost to the god of profit.
If you’re at least a 4/10 woman or an 8/10 man, they are pretty effective. For the rest of us, not so much.
2-3 minutes on what kind of internet connection? How long at 10Mbps?
just keep the system up to date…
The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows…
Who runs their email servers? You can outsource fediverse server hosting too…
Yes. It’s been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.
The same way anyone else for whom English is a second or third language function in society.
And, since we don’t own or use any Haier appliances, we aren’t subject to their TOS.
You’re no more stuck with Windows than a Mac user is stuck on a Mac.
Most people who “self host” things are still doing it on a server somewhere outside their home. Could be a VPS, a cloud instance, colocated bare metal, …
If something is not for sale, I have no qualms about pirating it. Disney vault, abandonware, obsolete versions, etc.
There are cheap household gadgets that rotate a can or bottle in a [salt] ice water bath to chill it rapidly. https://www.amazon.com/Chill-Matic-Automatic-Beverage-Chiller/dp/B0148K37K2?th=1 etc
Also more expensive ones with better temperature control for wine bottles.
You should be able to share a significant fraction of your home directory.
But there’s nothing stopping you from actually reading boss patterns and dodging them.
Is there enough information to do this on the first time through, if you have enough skill? Or is it necessary to try and fail multiple times to see and learn each pattern?
The ointment for my overnight dry eyes is half petroleum jelly half mineral oil. I can and have used Vaseline (which is almost entirely petroleum jelly) in a pinch.
Now you have me wondering if there’s any combination of paths that would have them all pass through that alignment and continue on their way after slingshotting around each other. And, if not, how many bodies could do that.
That name is decades old. XDG stands for “Cross Desktop Group”.
A “pure” X environment (e.g.
startx xterm
) also doesn’t define those variables, but many desktop environments do, just like many shell configurations do.
