    Hello fellow fish user.

    Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do ‘launch foo’ and it’ll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that’s necessary, but doesn’t hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.




  • Vivaldi is pretty nice and was my main browser until the announcement about MV3, but Vivaldi isn’t going to support it beyond whenever google removes MV2 from the source (IIRC, Vivaldi folks expected it around June next year). But I saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to jump ship while I could still do it and take my own sweet time doing so. In retrospect, glad I did. Still miss some features like markdown notes and sidebar web pages, but it’s still better than being buried in ads.






  • TrenttoLinuxWhy do you still hate Windows?

    I don’t hate windows, it just annoys me. I’ve run linux in a VM under windows for years and about 2 years ago it annoyed me enough (I think it was something about a patch breaking things badly enough that I had to restore the system) that I said ‘screw it’ and switched the arrangement to linux and the few windows programs I really wanted running in wine. I’ve been skipping back and forth between them since Yggdrasil was a thing, so it wasn’t like it was uncharted territory.

    And after hearing some of win11’s BS, I’m glad I did.
