Aggregating Matrix, xmpp, irc, and telegram could work for me. But I'd rather did this on my private matrix instance now though.

I see how this could be useful for software documentation. One can support their documentation on their instance and cross-link it to related projects. Also, anywhere someone reads it they can contribute changes and corrections.

These Are The Most Useful Linux Apps I Discovered in 2024 in c/linux@programming.dev

For those interested in trying LocalSend I have another suggestion. Syncthing is a serverless multiplatform file synchronization tool. Think of it as a Dropbox without a server. I have a couple of folders set up to synchronize between my devices and it works almost instantly. When I take a photo with my phone it appears in my Camera folder on laptop in a second. I save travel info in a folder and it is immediately available on my phone.

With all this ghostty talk. Am I out of touch for still using terminator all these years? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Terminator isn't supported anymore as far as I remember. A good substitution for it is Tilix. I'd been using the latter for a while but recently I switched to the new default terminal in Fedora (it had weird name that I unable to remember) and Tilling Shell extension for Gnome.

in most gnu/linux distributions that use xfce or gnome, why is the default music/audio player rhythmbox?? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Fedora changed it to the one I'll never remember the name of;)

COSMIC is still raw. I've tried it a week ago and their own iso was pretty buggy to the state of being unusable for daily use. Looking forward for it to stabilize as it looks like a really promising project.

A week ago YouTube forced me to disable an adblock extension on one of my PCs.

And you know what? Experiencing YouTuve with advertising is the best. It completely breaks my mood interrupting a video I'm watching and I often end up just closing the video and going to do something else like coding or doing something useful at home.

So, I'm here recommending disabling your ad blocker if you are prone to procrastinating like me:)
