luciole (he/him)

You made this account on purpose to tell us that?

I’m experimenting with Kate. Doesn’t come close in terms of features but useful for small stuff. It’s like Notepad++ for Linux.

I’m pretty picky about my keyboard layout (a specific variant of bépo) and I’ve found it surprisingly awkward to use a layout that isn’t provided. I know that Bépo is typically included in Linux distros, but not the variant I prefer.

MusicBee is one of the programs I miss the most. My son told me he still runs it through Wine with some fiddling so it seems possible. Personally I’ve settled on Lollypop. I’m not in love with it; it’s fine. It’s quite minimalist… maybe too much for some. I use Puddletags for editing tags and Syncthing to sync music from my PC to my phone.

I hear you. I’m not crazy about it either. I use it at work and I get the point: it’s awkward to make CSS respect the encapsulation of component-based reactive frameworks like Vue or React. Tailwind alleviates that. On the other hand the actual HTML/CSS produced is disregarded by all measures except size maybe. It’s yet another layer of abstraction and its necessity is debatable at best.

Oh…an actually human response. How refreshing. At least one person here got their rabies shot.

The answer you seek is literally the post.

You have basically two options: treat HTML as a string or parse it then process it with higher level DOM features.

The problem with the second approach is that HTML may look like an XML dialect but it is actually immensely quirky and tolerant. Moreover the modern web page is crazy bloated, so mass processing pages might be surprisingly demanding. And in the end you still need to do custom code to grab the data you’re after.

On the other hand string searching is as lightweight as it gets and you typically don’t really need to care about document structure as a scraper anyways.

They’re gonna tell not to parse HTML with regular expressions. Heed this warning, and do it anyways.

I love how diverse the Linux distros breakdown is. SteamOS of course, but also Arch, Mint, CachyOS, Bazzite and so on. Choice. And because this is open source software work done by one community potentially helps all others. It’s fucking beautiful 🥲

Congrats on switching to Linux! There’s a lot to learn, but this also means you get control. Furthermore, what you learn is very likely to be useful for a very long time. If you still feel intimidated by the Unix command line I strongly recommend addressing that asap. It’s where the magic happens when things go wrong. It can become a super power as well in terms of automating tasks and customization. Look for guides in the format you prefer and most importantly play around with what you learn.

As for your immediate need with the Bluetooth keyboard… OK for real I’m writing this right now from a living room TV Linux (Mint) PC and I’ve ditched my previous Bluetooth keyboard for a keyboard with a 2.4ghz USB dongle. I’ve had sporadic issues with Bluetooth on Windows in the past, I’ve had less (but not none) on Linux, and I just feel keyboard/mouse are devices that are too critical to pass through Bluetooth. Wireless USB is just so much more stable. Furthermore if/when you’ll want to log into you UEFI/BIOS it’ll be really awkward because such a basic environment has no Bluetooth. I understand this may be of little help if you’ve got a keyboard you love.

Have you tried reading the article?

They don’t? Your files are local, the software’s local.

Also real programmers have impostor’s syndrome.

Real programmers are language agnostic. Anyways what’s the project?

Have you ruled out the GPU itself is not physically defective? I’m rocking a 6700XT and gaming in 1080 like a champ. I’m lazy so I’m running Mint though.

I’m having the same behavior on Mint with an NVMe M.2 drive as well. It feels like an expression of the fact that on linux any drive can be mounted and unmounted at any time as long as it doesn’t contain critical system files. It’s just that way imho

I would humbly suggest FP may seem especially natural to you precisely because that’s what you use all day.

We need version control for the version control.

Thanks! I’ve had to fiddle a bit with my Bluetooth transmitter on every boot, but with FastConnectable = true there’s a notable improvement. (I’m on Mint.)
