Re:YouTube-dl is now part of GitHub/dmca.git on Sunday October 25, 2020 @04:50AM (#24884804)
It's just someone creating a pull request to the dmca repository with the pull request containing the entirety of the youtube-dl repository (and its history). It's mostly a joke

I suggest you also install lxappearance to set the theme globally

Gmail has great keyboard support. Just press ? And see for yourself. Used with https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier I find it to be a great client
Re:Linux Mint Dumps Ubuntu Snap on Saturday June 06, 2020 @02:17AM (#23437217)
Here's one that doesn't hide the snaps but but still keeps it not cluttered (relies on ripgrep) :

function df { OUTPUT=$(/usr/bin/df $@) snaps=$(echo ${OUTPUT} | rg "^.+/snap/(.+)/.+$" -r '$1' | tr '\n' ' ') printf "\x1b[33m\x1b[1mFILTERING SNAP MOUNTPOINTS:\x1b[0m\x1b[33m\n$snaps\x1b[0m\n\n" >&2 echo $OUTPUT | grep -v "/snap/" }

I've had the exact same experience you described. Realizing i3 is the way to go and apps shouldn't manage tabs themselves - trying to stop Firefox / Chrome from doing so - realizing it's not simple and the no tabs extension is problematic. Trying qutebrowser and giving up because it's limited.

I've settled on NoTabs Firefox with a userChrome.css that hides the tab bar until Firefox someday supports native no tabs.
