From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know what to say about people who I told about lichess but still think chess.com is better

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe just say why it is better:

  • No ads / subscriptions
  • No tracking
  • Free software is really fast
  • You can do many projects with Lichess
  • Clean non-cluttered UI

So, in summary, it's not hyped up (marketing), clean, no tracking, free chess.com experience.

I don't know what are the advantages' chess.com has over Lichess right now. The chess should be free.

normies: but le world class chess streamer I know plays on chess.com!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Your response: because it makes him money especially when he has Chess.com logo hidden somewhere when he streams.

Chess dot com tells me what opening I played

(Because Lord knows I don't)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lichess does tell too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not during the play though, only during analysis

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Ah I see so you can look up in game what are the best responses for your opening. Smart.

Why todoist and not tasks.org

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I cannot get the same features on the desktop so it's synced up. Besides that only Taks.org on Android is even better than Todoist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I use nextcloud for tasks and then use tasks.org on android, not sure what features you need, but that has worked great for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I have to try NextCloud Tasks then. I'm also considering Vikunja.

Why Obsidian when there's so many good foss note-taking apps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

You could list it, but I tried to migrate Obsidian to Logseq. For now, I have no time. I mostly write MarkDown though.
