One of the things I dislike about Rust is the massive amount of disk space and time it takes to do a download, compile, test run.
2GB of dependencies and build files for a 200K binary is a bit much.

On Windows: https://www.fxsound.com/ (now free and open source)
On old Linux: PulseEffects
On new Linux: EasyEffects

Those really make your crappy speakers or headphones go the extra mile.

Haha, we have only a handful of PCs that upgraded to Win11 so far. I think it’s just as bad as Win10, maybe better than Win10 18H2 and earlier apart from the UI.

For totalcmd: Viewer than can easily search an 8GB binary file at the speed of the disk, switched seamlessly between UTF-16, ASCII, HEX. The whole Search feature now integrated with Everything. Multi-Rename with Regex and or renumbering. Treeview that can be enabled or disabled for one or both panes. Copy/Move queue with speed limiter and pause. Tab management for sorting and removing duplicates. History of most frequently used directories. Integrated wget (via the FTP-URL button). Fast image gallery view. That’s what comes to mind that didn’t work or not as well with DC.

Maybe also work in DC: Plugins for NTFS streams, WebDAV (windows default implementation sucks donkey balls), SCP. I even used it for burning CDs back under XP.

I actually used DC for a while on my Arch box at work. I found it not there yet and went back to Krusader. It’s been a while maybe it’s become a lot better. I’ll check it out again.

I also have to use and administrate Windows for work, so yeah: knowing both can be a blessing and a curse (mostly me cursing at Server 2022).

pull hundreds of KDE dependencies

Very true. i3 users would get half of KDE when they install Krusader. For a KDE User it’s pretty cool to have the same settings and bookmarks across Plasmahell, Dolphin, Krusader and Konqueror.

Everything that Total Commander does, Double Commander can do

I don’t think I agree here. But maybe I have been using TC too long (since Windows Commander for Win 3.1). V 11 brought many cool new things. I don’t think I can use a Windows box at all without it anymore.

Sublime even has their own repos for various distributions. You may still install and evaluate it for free but it requires a paid license to use. The only limitation is a nag screen though. Like it’s been since Sublime2.

Other editors are catching up quickly. The coolest Sublime feature now is their Plugin repository.

Your File Manager list is sorely missing Krusader and Total Commander. ;)
EDIT: and Sublime Text runs native on Linux (and I do believe there is a Mac version)

I have also used Ubuntu when they sent out those free CDs. And for work when they had the Unity desktop (12.04 LTS). It was a good distro once.
I am pretty happy with the Arch (btw) I installed as a VM on Ubuntu 12.04 and then used as my main OS on the new work PC since 2017.

You could always use a distro made by sane people.

Considering “faster engine” means different tune on the exact same engine nowadays: not much has changed.
Fuck morons who pay this so the corps will continue to do this. They wouldn’t even consider it if people with more money than sense didn’t pay for it. Everything is enshittified until we live in Idiocracy.

They are still in use in Stuttgart/Esslingen since 1944. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/TrolleyBusEsslingenVanHool_P1010048.JPG/624px-TrolleyBusEsslingenVanHool_P1010048.JPG

I am old. I liked Netizens and Netiquette.
I guess I will take a break and start a flamewar on Usenet. Now where is my robe and wizard hat?

I have dual boot on my work PC. I think the last time I booted into Windows was a year ago.
I can boot the physical Windows partition in Virtualbox and QEMU. I do that maybe 3 times a month for a few hours.

They made nothing good since Windows 7. And that was only good compared to Vista.
XP and 2000 were a lot faster.

Neat.
I always found new and mobile reddit to produce the worst markdown (like escaping an underscore in a URL, who does that?).
But I could never use it for more than 2 minutes before going back to old.reddit or using i.redd.it (oh shit they killed that, and they killed old.reddit.com/.compact).

Bastards.

Usually stuff like this get’s taken care of quickly. There are no sophisticated filters on open-source lemmy like on the big social networks to automatically censor something. It has to be done by a mod or be reported first.
Also happened to me 30 years ago in IRC (then it might have been considered funny) and on reddit. Sometimes ugly stuff slips through. (not talking about a harmless rickroll)

I am pretty sure you were just really unlucky. Let’s hope trolls don’t succeed in destroying a great thing.

EDIT: you can check the modlog to see if the user has been banned. Pretty sure lemmy.ml and beehaw banned the offender.

I’m amazed it runs so well. It’s incredibly speedy for a wss implementation.

I had a bit of trouble signing up, but was approved super quickly and could log in.
(I might bother support later about it, when things settle down)
Even federated topics are blazing fast. Now I am thinking of setting up my own server on my Oracle Cloud Free Tier.

Markdown works just like old.reddit. But it feels like it already has RES and ton’s of plugins preinstalled. I am really quite happy.
