tl;dr they've got a new home folder structure
/users/tom
    - home
      - Documents
      - Projects
      - Work
      - Downloads
    - config
      - local
      - alacritty
      - thunderbird
      - ... [everything else previously in ~/.config]
      - ssh
      - steam
      - .mozilla
      - zsh
          - zshrc
          - zprofile


and it looks like it works rather well for them

@Elizafox "It is the second-most populous city in Montana with a population of 73,489 at the 2020 census and estimated at 78,204 in 2024" that's even on the smaller side for Dutch standards

adhd nothing quite like the adhd-given feeling of finally finishing a 5 minute task you've been procrastinating for weeks

and then having the feeling of accomplishment drowned out by the guilt of not having done this weeks ago

@jwildeboer the left isn't gonna get anything done as long as this infighting continues neobread_megaphone

it's such a frustrating thing to observe. there's no good enough, there's no compromise, it's all "my way or the highway". when someone celebrates a small victory, people argue that they should've gone for world domination instead.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

roleplayed as a streamer today (streaming the unboxing of the Carbage Run starter pack with the friends I'm going on the trip with on Discord)
A photo of a desk, with a Carbage Run envelope on it, on top of the usual PC desk stuff. On the right side of the frame, there's a camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark III, if you're curious) on a tripod pointed at said desk, with a USB mini-B cable coming out of it On the left monitor, there's a terminal with ffmpeg-looking output on it, split evenly with a Discord settings menu showing the video preview. On the right monitor, there's a Home Assistant dashboard allowing me to tune the lights right there

@semit0ne @argv_minus_one I fondly remember calling my parent's fax machine from home (we had ISDN and 3 phone numbers, so the fax had a separate phone number :D) and just listening to the thing going HEY i'm a fax machine :D who's there?........ who's there?........ who's there?.......
