If anyone cares, I fixed my system. I haven't looked into a lot of window managers, but I've always liked wmaker and jwm. cwm and fvwm look interesting.

I haven't tried a whole lot of them, but I quite like dwm. It's even better when you set the border size to 0. The only thing that bugs me is the lack of a tray, but I can probably fix that. The patch for adding a tray on their site doesn't seem to work as-is.

DWM seems nice, unfortunately its keybinds are tied to the keys' symbol and not their position on the keyboard and I couldn't get the related patch to work. I might try it again once I switch to qwerty.

>>13 Patch? Remapping the controls should be as easy as replacing a couple of bindings in config.h. Is it just something I'm not getting? I'm not too familiar with alternate schemes like AZERTY

AZERTY keyboards are all kinds of retarded, you have to hold shift to write numbers and some symbol keys are placed in awkward positions for literally no reason. Depending on the wm it can get annoying to fix.
I think I tried to apply this patch https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/keycodes/ . I don't remember exactly where I messed up, it was the first time I tried to patch something and I was in a hurry, I didn't bother too much.

Shumway sounded interesting. It's a shame that development has been halted.

How could you forget JPEX? https://www.free-decompiler.com/flash/
It makes editing a flash without having flash (the authoring software) possible. You need java to use it though and sometimes it crashes but those are things I can live with. I've cracked or desitelocked number of flashes with it. Heck I even helped someone rebuild a multipart game that was abandoned by Weebl and doesn't work on newgrounds anymore. Thread http://swfchan.org/13000/ (I'm the B Anonymous person in that thread).
and completed download https://openload.co/f/4aD6Kz48CmE/prawn_to_be_wild_cracked_by_w7_890_and_anonymous_%28final%29.zip

I know that there's a few flash players for android in the google play store, but I've never tried them out.

Just did a search and found this https://www.swfmill.org/doc/using-swfmill.html it looks cool but abandoned. Perhaps it's a key to the step forward of creating an open sourced / free flash ide? The other missing component to that road is of course the player itself but doing that might require decompiling the flashplayer executable file for acceptable accuracy.

Also I'm rather mad about that Swivel thing on newgrounds. They converted a lot of flashes, even ones with some interactive elements, into videos and proceeded to make video the default view and then anyone who wanted to view the flash version must be signed in with an account. I even read on the thread forum about the software and someone was saying that it was going well because none of the authors were complaining! By that time a lot of the authors for those animations probably don't even visit newgrounds anymore and if they did would they even look at their old animations? Maybe not. I consider it a dumb move for them to do it that early since the HD videos (which is the only way to get it comparable to the converted vector animations) are usually more than triple the filesize of the flash version.

oh wait that 2005 date was probably just the last time that documentation page was edited. the actual github has been edited as recently as last year, so maybe it's more current https://github.com/djcsdy/swfmill/commits/master

Lightspark and Gnash are generally the open-source go-tos, but for the best compatability, you should really just use the projector.

Repack? Seed? Haha, good sense of humour

Shit, forgot to anchor. >>23

still using plan9/void but not playing package golf on void anymore. somehow whatever happened when I tried debian was worse than learning to compile wine by hand.

People usually like debian, what happened?

I dont remember. Something to do either with a package I wanted, a library problem compiling a package I wanted, or some distro specific bullshit

systemd

The difference is, I guess, the same as the difference between a consumer and a producer.

I was lucky just to find this website, much less how to use any of the things described on it.

I'm at grandma-levels of techno-literacy. :(

I'd say I'm more tech savy than people I know IRL but I still feel too illiterate to give my input on anything online.

>>1
I'm a novice programmer. I've made the switch to GNU/Linux over the past year and have been learning pretty quickly. I'm aiming to build up a decent github over the next couple years and I'm taking an undergrad in computer science.
>>2
I'd like to emphasize that you don't need to be a programmer to use GNU/Linux, but also that by using GNU/Linux you can learn some valuable things about programming and computers in general. If you use a decently-supported distro, you'll run into the occaisional problem, and you'll also be able to solve them without too much trouble by looking up error messages. By learning to solve the inevitable problems, you'll learn how to use the OS, naturally and easily.
Also, definitely check out old PCs that are being thrown out by family, companies, etc. The PC can be older than yourself and you'll still learn something valuable by taking it apart, cleaning it, maxing out the ram, and then installing some Linux distro on the old shitbox. That's how I got used to GNU/Linux, I installed Slitaz on an old PC, and used it as a secondary PC until I was comfortable with it.

I hope you don't plan on using debian or you'll be waiting a lifetime.

I'm planning to wait at least a year before installing some rolling release distro just for extra cushion

DragonFlyBSD has Ryzen support, but I don't know exactly how much.

I'll try that, soon.

>>33
Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I agree with you.

>>34
No, my bad. I should've made what I was saying clearer the first time. Do you have any favourite VNs?

>>35
Ever17 and Higurashi. Sorry if you were expecting to hear more obscure titles.

>>36
I wasn't expecting anything in particular! Ever17 is very good, it's one of my favourites as well. Pic related is my absolute favourite, though, as pleb-tier as it may be.

Yes, it is keenly easy to make an RSS for threads. Because RSS is an XML specification you could probably easily adapt the current script to generate this page on request. I run site where I do this but that is in PHP and I cannot write Python :P otherwise I would definitely send a PR.

The RSS2 spec is here:
http://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html

Does anyone actually use the thread watcher, though? That's a good question to ask. I never have been partial to things like that, but I'm not sure how everyone else feels.

test

I use the thread watcher on 4chan a lot. I don't use it here because the traffic is low enough that I may as well just look at /all/. But if it were possible to combine multiple boards into one feed, that might change things.

>>2
One example of rss' capabilities is reddit https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss pretty much covers every usage case

>>3
I do but I check /all/ more often. If there were an RSS I probably wouldn't use it at all.

Put me down for this too. Or implement the 4chan JSON API and I can generate the RSS feed myself. But at least save me from scraping HTML please, admin.

I think a big part of the reason people are pissed at it is because it really isn't just an init system. Poettering himself even admits that. So it's not just that people are finding themselves forced to use one particular flavor of something, they're being forced to abandon simple inits for an entire subsystem.

So it's really no wonder that it has generated so much hate. I mean even when comparing different pieces of the same type of software you have enough hatred online to warrant the nick name "holy wars", and that's still when people have a complete choice to use whichever one they want.
So now imagine telling all those people that not only do they have to switch software and they have no choice about it at all, but it's also a totally different _type_ of software too AND on top of all that the developers are widely considered to be some of the most toxic in the whole community and you have the perfect recipe for a holy war x100.

That being said though, I really don't trust the developers. One big complaint against them is they tend to not give a shit about the community as a whole and are really only interested in supporting gnome. Everyone else can fuck off as far as they're concerned. I don't think anyone like that should be developing something that's going to be such a vital part of our systems.
I also don't trust the _way_ they're building this new subsystem. They claim it's not monolithic by technicality, but practically speaking it might as well be when even kernel developers are claiming that it's too complicated to understand.

And last but not least, I just gotta say that although I don't have any real evidence to back this up the whole thing really just raises tons of red flags for me as a kind of scam to gain Redhat more influence in the GNU/Linux world and nothing more.
It just smells bad through and through. I would happily use a similar alternative just to be dependent on a different set of developers.

its fine to 'not mind using it', theres more of a philisohical and design argument to be had if you'd LIKE to use it. but, opposing it without really understanding why beyond 'leet people told me so' is probably just as bad even if on the right side.

I cant think of even one situation in my use of linux in which any init system has been an important necessary part of my computing. They're just sort of there.
before Id used any system without an 'init system' ala systemd openrc sysv whatever, I just sort of assumed it was some kind of Vital System Component tm that was necessary, obviously
but no, just starting the shit you want with &, and at most putting its pid in a file somewhere, its fine. Ive had no problems. if, as it is clearly not, this isn't even a requirement at all, so even if I did find it helpful for something why should it be this gigantic million LOC abomination that does everything in this super special unique way? this is just stupid. think of all the hours of human thought wasted on those hundreds of thousands of lines of code just to start some programs in the background. software is really an intellectual black hole. we'd be on mars by now if not for computers, even accounting for what progress not having them would mean losing.
just start the stuff you want. if you really need to "manage" it, thats still just a means to start things.
I hear the reason that its easier than writing scripts but that just makes me think you were writing grossly overcomplicated scripts with every stupid convention and tooling and whatever else someone ever told you you DEFINITELY NEED in them. Just start the shit you want to be running.
I use the init system my distro comes with when I use linux, and I dont mind it, because I just use it to do what I need from linux and its what it comes with. If it came with systemd I wouldnt mind either in the same sense, until it overwrote efivars an dbricked my system of course. but its bad design.

>3
That was a very astute and helpful comment that provided me a new perspective on the whole matter! As far as systemd goes, your response + reading up on the whole matter leads me to avoid systemd. The developers act like children and as you said it seems like a Redshat scam. I'm a novice to linux but i'd like to switch from manjaro to a more simpilar distro like Alpine or maybe even Gentoo (if im tuff enough) to avoid systemd all together. I just want to understand everything a bit more before I try a whole new install. ;-;

>>4
Any of the major BSDs can be a good choice, depending on what you want. And inherently, by not using the Linux kernel, they don't have systemd.

>>5
I never said it was a redhat scam, though, so im guessing you meant to reply to >>2 .
Even so, you learn eventually that linux is linux. Even more broadly, unix is UNIX is Unix, though linux gives you easier access to the 'outside world'. Dont worry too much. its not as obvious when you look at all the stuff people throw on top of a linux kernel and ship, but its still so.

>>18
I'm using Xlib without any preexisting toolkit.

>>17
read the dwm source.
I am sure there is some of that in there, and its well written.

I have become very fascinated with neural networks in the past few weeks. Started trying to code my own in guile.
I could probably do it in python in half the time, but something about the naturally recursive nature of functional programming combined with machine learning just tickles my fancy.

Gentoo. Firefox in itself is free software, so it's not like I really care about the GNU branding, but Icecat has a lot of useful, simple tweaks that help privacy. Not that I can't fix them manually, but it's a lot more convenient. I use ESR because it's stable, and I'm sick of everyone whining about the new Firefox.

Greasemonkey is taking a while to get important features working again. I may have to switch to Violentmonkey.

Still stuck using an outdated SeaMonkey beta.

Yeah, I use Firefox, it's alright. It lacks features, though. Most browsers do, these days.

What is a native toolkit? What makes it not native?

>Can't wait for the huge increase in "god games" where you get to fuck around with actual sentient NPCs to make them feel pain or pleasure.
I'd kill you for that.

The image makes it look so much lamer. I want to plug a whale brain into my own head, is that too bizarre to ask for?

If you sign a waver I'm sure you could find some scientist eager to help you try.
