Built a simple web app for converting text from Word or text editors into HTML bullet point lists (<ul>). It's a very focused use case. Perfect when you want HTML bullet points without using full-on Markdown tools. https://t.co/HFvFbqNDoJ

@charliermarsh Hey Charlie! I'm the author of that article on self-contained Python scripts using uv that trended on Hacker News. I love that feature of uv - and all of uv! https://t.co/lGpaF1hFK7

@bascodes Bas, thanks for sharing a link to my article!

@alvinashcraft @WindowsDocs @docsmsft @MVPAward @MicrosoftLife Congrats, Alvin! Well deserved...you're going to do awesome!

I have been familiar with the dmesg command in Linux to view kernel log messages, but today I learned I can do:

$ dmesg -H

which provides a pager option like less and continues to colorize the output. (-H = human readable output)

@bbbourq @FedoraBot2075 @fedora Those are some additional awesome aliases for "ls". Thanks for sharing!

Getting my new @Fedora system set up with some time-saving shortcuts such as:

alias gno='gnome-open'

I did not want to use "go" since I will be installing golang. What is your favorite #bash alias for your Linux system?

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@sotiry @fedora Very awesome - xfce is a great desktop environment.

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

Installed @Fedora Linux on my home laptop 💻 that previously ran Windows. It's now a dual boot system. I'm running this for 30 days to see if it can become my daily driver. Have you taken the Linux plunge? Any words of wisdom?

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@BoSalman_KT @fedora Great advice - thanks!

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@sotiry @fedora Cool... has Manjaro been pretty stable for you?

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@ndufresne @marcoscavazzon @fedora Thanks for the tip. Did not know about this app. Looks promising!

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@robotron1964 @fedora Good advice. I'm guessing I'll eventually remove the dual boot. I haven't had to boot into Windows since I switched.

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@rdepass @fedora Thanks, Richard! I've played with bash before, but there's always so much more to learn. Lots of fun!

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@cgpipeliner @fedora I had not heard of remmina. Looks very cool, but I guess it's even cooler if it works. 😃

Have you tried to RDP to your Windows machine from another Windows machine w/ the standard Windows RDP client (mstsc)? Perhaps you need to enable RDP connections on your Windows firewall?

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@stevecollins @fedora Thanks for the tips, Stephen. I have used Thunderbird in the past, but have never tried Evolution. I need to check it out.

[Dave Johnson (thisDaveJ.com) @thisDaveJ]

@83bytes @fedora Thanks, ThatGuy! I love all of the choices that are available. I have configured Gnome with some keyboard shortcuts such as "Super+M" to minimize all windows since this is part of my muscle memory from Windows. But, you are right...don't expect it to be 1:1 with Windows.
