Just created my Mastodon account. Gosh darn does this website look and feel a LOT better than the cesspit that is the blue bird. #introductions

Finally used #Emacs for the first time - and I'm quite surprised with how well it works!I've yet to use any of its features beyond text editing, but as a replacement for #Vim, Evil mode does WONDERS.Not to mention, Emacs' haskell-mode enables quite nice #haskell support. I got my bad #xmonad config nitpicked by ghc while editing (Didn't even notice the errors prior to this 😅 ).And for anyone else who cares, Emacs also has quite amazing Arabic support! Although I had to turn it on for Doom.

I hate this "I don't care" mentality people tend to have regarding #privacy and #security - especially when it comes to operating systems.Some people tend to think "I'm not going to be 100% secure anyway, so why care or try?" And yet, when approaching any other concern, such as #COVID19 for example; they start taking precautions?Why is it that only when it comes to software they'd rather not do take any effort towards protecting themselves, even if it increases their privacy by 1 or 2%?

@kev Yeah true, I might have gone a bit overboard because I was quite angry there - oops.

Finally started using #bitwarden and began changing all my passwords - this is unironically one of the most exhausting things I've ever done lmao

@joel I can understand where you're coming from but I easily get distracted and I am extremely lazy; so I just end up taking much longer than I need to

Does anybody here know any good #FOSS #email providers that are also free of cost? I really don't want to use a google email for everything.

I became a Free software zealot during the last year, doing my best to advocate for everyone's freedoms, privacy and security. And I have @fsf to thank for that.Happy birthday to the FSF! Keep fighting for everybody's freedom.

@PublicLewdness I'll look into it but unfortunately most online services deliver to where I live and even then I can't buy stuff easily online

Lately, I've been trying to use #Emacs' tools for a lot of my daily #Linux tasks.Dired is very different from #tui file management, but oh boy is it fun and unique to use!

There's an #emacs survey @ https://emacssurvey.org/!I think this sort of thing is very important for feedback, and I'm glad to have participated in it. Check it out!

Today marks the one year anniversary of the debut of my #gnulinux journey.I never, ever thought I'd become a Free software zealot and a supporter of digital rights and freedom, all within year; and I have the glorious GNU/Linux operating system to thank for that.I went from using #KDE, to #xmonad, editing in #vim to #emacs - and I'm so excited for what's to come in the near future.(1/2)

I cannot express all of my love for Linux, and Free software in general; using just words. It has truly and completely changed my life both in computing and outside of it.I now view software and technology completely differently, and, if it wasn't for #FOSS, I might be doing something completely different; oblivious of the dangers of proprietary garbage like #windows.I pray that I have many and much more eventful years in the future, InshaaAllah!(2/2)
