Made the switch about 6 years ago to Fedora, never looked back. Upgrades just work.

Is there a similar software for linux?

OpenSnitch

I use this. The first week was weird and scary until I had accepted the rules I needed for my daily usage, now it's been weeks since it's said anything (and I had to check that it was still running but it is).

E.g. running the android emulator was enlightening :-S

This looks similar, Safing Portmaster

This is a similar idea to run0 by Systemd: https://news.itsfoss.com/systemd-run0/

And run0 isn't roll-your-own. Its audited and probably better than home grown.

I crave for social media clients that allow users to customize their ranking algorithms for their feed.

Without giving raw access to the database wouldn't this be a feature of the platform and not the client?

The user could choose weights in specific categories, that the app could then take into account when building lists.

depends entirely on how much the server API can provide in terms of granularity. Hence allowing the clients to do more than now.

Nothing really stopping a mastodon client from hacking that together. Was thinking about this over the last couple weeks as well, even being able to specify a weight account you follow would be huge.

Just limiting high volume posters to some limited percentage of the feed would be cool.

Used GnuCash for a while, but manual data entry was exhausting

There is also SigNoz [0] solving the same problem with a similar stack (OpenTelemetry and Clickhouse)

Law of Leaky Abstractions states: All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky.

I found the example in the post weird too, I thought it would be for auto complete, when you enter sta -> start

Yeah, this would be good for tab-completion. It would also work with a time-delay, like git does. It'll print out the guessed command with a second delay, and then if the user doesn't interrupt, execute it.

I often think that I would be a best practice for slack/discord to auto delete messages after 2 weeks, that would enforce the idea that they are really ephemeral

We need more devs to use linux. It is a better experience IMHO. I've been donating to the asahi project every month hoping apple hardware gets finally liberated.
