Going on a personal journey in the month of June to watch my food intake, exercise more, and lose a significant amount of weight. So as to not clutter this instance, follow my other account at @sprocket

I've decided that #i3wm just isn't for me. The two things I really like in other DEs and WMs, minimize buttons for windows, and alt-tab, don't seem to be readily doable with i3 (and changing workspaces isn't the same).

That said, #xfce seems to fit my work flow quite well.

It kind of bothers me when people say there are no new regular users coming to Linux. In a country such as Colombia, where most people run "non-licensed" Windows copies and lose data and money every day, it's getting easier to convert people to Linux. And I don't mean techies; I mean normals: small businesses, freelancers and even entire families. I love Linux podcasts, but they so often forget there are people outside the US and Europe. Is anybody else in this instance from LATAM?

To be fair, my car was baking in the sun all day. After driving around for a few minutes, it lowered to a mere 105 F

@brandon I'm having trouble downloading some of your podcast episodes via the RSS feed. Can you take a look?

#Google is becoming a platinum sponsor of the #Linux foundation, which let's them join the board of directors (which they are)

#Lumines on #Nintendo #Switch has a trance mode where every detected controller will rumble with the music, up to 8 controllers (ie up to 8 Joycons).

Even with just 2 Joycons, it is rediculously satisfying.

Ok, I think I grok #i3wm enough to make it my daily driver for awhile. I call that a win. :i3wm:

It seems to me that, on #Debian at least, if you want to run #i3wm it's also a good idea to at least install #XFCE alongside it. So many useful utilities that go well together.

My somewhat messy work space. Spent a couple hours rearranging it today.

The cat approves.
