Gazpacho posted:somewhere in a DHS fusion center right this minute: "Curses! Stallman gave us the slip again!" i think there is more than enough recent and long-term historical precedent for: -the us building mass surveillance technology apparatus without transparency, oversight, or debate, which is only getting easier to do over time -politicians who will abuse such power on scales large and small, even to go after academic-types who don't fall in line with a regime's perceived interests/goals ...for one to be sympathetic to rms concerns and protest through security practice. he goes farther than i would choose to, but what motivates him is not out to mars. anyway, this is getting off-track. someone at some point mentioned awesome wm, and woah wow was it exactly what ive wanted in a bespoke wm for years and years.

I don't think you can really call it a "window manager" if it doesn't actually provide "windows" more like a "pane manager" really

i love the idea of these windowless window managers, but the practice always falls way short the biggest issue is that only perfectly-behaving x11 applications really work. god help you using citrix in an awesome wm environment

your git repo containing your homedir, including passwords, isn't encrypted with a 69 character passphrase? serious posting though definitely keep your configs in a git repo. I had to redo dumb desktop settings too many times to count because I was a dumb these days I think just throwing .config into git and forgetting about it should work? all the files/passwords/dumb poo poo should go into .local right? also, I just keep all my passwords and my ssh keys in keepass now, keepass even has a ssh agent thing and it owns

Loonix question: I just installed powerline for my shell, but I can't find a chart that states what each symbol in the shell status actually means. Some of them are self-explanatory, like the giant red X, but for example my git folder has a giant circle next to the branch name. Does anyone know of a chart that explains these symbols?

i think there's like a billion powerline shell extensions, so which one? https://github.com/banga/powerline-shell this has a few symbols but no giant circle sometimes there's a special font you need or you can't use some really limited font like fixedsys

the likelyhood of microsoft being scared of people buying a windows laptop and installing linux on it ityool 2016 seems pretty drat low that is despite the plausibility of microsoft scheming to have one hardware manufacturer use a raid controller which linux does not have a driver for to finally eliminate the mounting threat of linux on the desktop
