I’m glad to see GoboLinux resurrected. I didn’t use it much, but I really like to see distros doing different stuff, like questioning even the need for the standard file hierarchy.

Yes, it is. And more importantly, it’s a collective problem: user A (like that one) wants a technical explanation, you give it, then user B complains that it’s too technical or too verbose or “ackshyually this is inaccurate”.
I feel like the best approach might be a mix. Basically, what people have been already doing to advertise Lemmy there.
The problem is that those redditors are basically whining and demanding the impossible - an explanation that is, at the same time: comprehensive, newbie-friendly, accurate, and succinct.
(Note that I’m not even talking about 100WattWalrus individually, but the redditors as a collective thing.)
Oh, this is cool. Way less verbose than my attempt!
I hope it works for you!
In the worst hypothesis, if tmsu doesn’t work for your needs, then @deegeese@sopuli.xyz’s idea (parallel directory tree with symlinks) sounds solid. Or even flattening the directory tree that you already use, like:
University
| - ...
| - 2024.2 Lie algebra
| - 2024.2 Operator algebra
| - 2024.2 TA activities
| - 2025.1 Mathematical Algorithms
| - 2025.1 Diophantine equations
| - 2025.1 TA activities
This way if you want to find e.g. all dirs with TA, you just Ctrl+F “TA activities” and it’ll show you both “./2024.2 TA activities” and “./2025.1 TA activities”.
I had a similar problem and I solved it through a tagging tool, tmsu The tool works through the terminal but it has a virtual file system, so you can access your files from a GUI file manager. I recommend you to check it out, it might solve your problem.
I wonder how Reddit managed to fuck the blocking function up so fucking bad.
No, wait, I don’t. I know how:
Anyway. Will Digg enshittify again? (Yes.) And unless the functionality of the site changes upon relaunching, Digg is not a good replacement for what Reddit has become; Reddit is not just a link-sharing platform any more, it’s more like a bunch of forums.
At least Mint has an OEM install; on the first boot after installing the system, it asks you to create a user (plus language, layout etc.). I never used it though, but I expect other distros to have a similar feature.
Subscribe to all of them, duh. Problem solved.
And then when posting you simply cross-post. Or stick to the most active one. By then you already know which it is. (Unless you post mindlessly on whatever comm you find, without even lurking a wee bit before doing it. Then you’re probably shitting Reddit and should stay there instead of shitting Lemmy.)

Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you’ve triggered a lot of programmers.
The meaning kind of clicked to me the first time I’ve seen the word and tried to pronounce it - it ended as [ẽ.'ʒĩ 'ʃis], the first part is close enough to English [ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] ⟨engine⟩ that the association was obvious. ([ʃis] is just the Portuguese name for ⟨X⟩.)
Both are good but one is considerably better than the other.
We (people in general, across the globe) need to reduce the number of cars, regardless of what fuels them. In rural zones for example I do think that public transportation could work way better than it does. (…although coming from a Latin American “X could work better” is always true. Nothing works properly in Latin America.) Then in cities it’s the same as above plus making things more walkable, bikeable, etc. Reduce the infrastructure needed for cars and you’ll reduce their demand, in a virtuous cycle.
If the leftover is fuelled by greener energy, so the better. But once you reduced the need for cars, the pressure for this is considerably smaller.
Let us not forget that electric cars do have a fair impact on the environment, through lithium mining. Although recent Chinese developments make sodium batteries more viable. And the source of the electricity is also a concern, if you’re simply burning coal for electricity you aren’t solving the problem, only moving it elsewhere.
Also it’s relevant to note that the fuel in combustible cars does not need to be petrol. For example where I live ethanol cars are a thing - sure, they’re a wee bit annoying in winter, but they work.
I know that URL.
At those times I swear, I have a knack for avoiding problems before they appear.
Some years ago I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian. It was due to something silly, like defaults. Then I got pissed with Debian Stable, went to Testing, got pissed again… and for some reason instead of going back to Ubuntu I gave Mint a try.
Then people started talking about snaps a lot, and I gave them a try in Mint. This was in a potato computer so I could clearly notice how slow they were to start. Nope.
Then Ubuntu started forcing them every where, but by then I could simply say “Not My Problem®”. Mint maintainers are clearly against snaps, and I’m happy with it.
Glad to see Õunapuu also found a way to handle the problem by changing distros. I’m too deep into the APT rabbit hole to get used to Fedora, but it seems like a good choice regardless.
…fine, fine! If the bot problem in Reddit becomes even worse than it already is! :D
I know, I know. The place is already a botfest. I’m pissing in an ocean of piss.
Nah :P I used this “one line witty and funny replies in r/AskLebbit” approach all the time, when I created troll accounts. All the change is just automatising the process of getting a few ideas.
Plus… honestly? If Reddit gets filled with bot-generated replies, that’s good.
New accounts can be shadow-banned at first, it’s better if the account is a few days/weeks old before using links in comments
Urgh… and here I go, farming 1k karma in r/AskReddit. (I’ll simply ask a chatbot to give me "one line witty and funny replies to [post title].)
I also think that mander.xyz would be a good fit. The instance administration is chill and sensible, and the instance’s scope is STEM fields.
