Which Tiling Window Managers do you like, and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Sway with autotiling and a few nifty scripts (launch or focus and such) and Waybar. The combination of having scratchpads, sensible autotiling along with titlebars and the wonderful world of wayland is supreme.

Piracy? We've heard numerous times what r/books thinks about it. But how does c/books view it? in c/books@lemmy.ml

Well, release your god damn books DRM -free with localized prices on some service along the likes of Bandcamp.

It's pure, it's easy and God damn fair for both parties.

Yes, libraries are great.

What's your climate and civilization prediction? (lemmy.ml)

I'll go first:

The situation is really dire for keeping the global rise in temperature under 1,5C, not gonna happen as no nation on earth is even close to meeting their own goals let alone those set during COP.

From my part of the world, Sweden I'm seeing less green forces being voted for than 10 years ago. Instead, fascists are being given more and more power globally.

Governments are touting investments and commitment yet in the grand scheme of things jack all is happening. Eight billion mid-size mammals and counting are competing for comfort and security under various levels of despair under class rule.

I'm predicting the charade of investments and commitment as well as the greenwashy non-solutions being held up will soon be turned upside down (~2028) by fascists whom have taken power (~2032) through the fears of people and we'll have a bleak future not unlike The Road by the end of this century (~2080-2100) as food and water supplies will have destabilized (~2056) due to the unpredictable nature of the climate.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not happy about it -.-

Idea: Lower the impact for down votes (lemmy.ml)
 

I made a post on r/ukulele where I seek help finding vegan friendly ukuleles. Instant-down-vote because of the V-word hindering it being discovered by those interested. It's not offensive, I specifically ask to keep discussions on veganism out of it and I stayed polite about the topic - I think? Mind you this is not the worst case of instant-down-vote of non-controversial or non-offensive honest posts on Reddit. It's the hive-mind-tribe thing of Reddit doing it's thing as usual.

What if down votes had reduced "power" or impact/value. Up-votes are a full point and down-votes are .5 or .75 of a point in order to prevent instant-reptile-brain-knee-jerk down-voting because of a small difference in opinion or world view. So that there have to be two people down-voting for one integer point to count.

What do you folks think?

Why not launch something like amazon.gov and just make that the central distribution channel for all things, food, meds, tools and whatever else the global society needs?

What has the FSF accomplished? (lemmy.ml)
 

Honest question, I don't know a whole lot about the FSF. Heard the announcement from RMS and a snippet on the dangers of webapps and such. But do they introduce solutions to these issues regarding proprietary software or mostly point fingers and tell us what's dangerous to use?

What's your favorite FSF contributions?

The scalp and your favorite recipes (lemmy.ml)
 

Happy to see a federated bread community :)

Two things,

Firstly, my avatar - it was a delicious fifty-fifty whole wheat sourdough boule with an ear so large I dubbed it "the scalp". Recipe from The Perfect Loaf, my goto for recipes :)

Secondly, I'd like to ask what your favorite recipes are? Currently I'm looking for something new that is compatible with full-time-job-two-kids. Less folding and more shape, rest and bake.

Whoop!
