@phenomlab said in New "quote" feature added:
As part of the upgrade of NodeBB core to
1.18.5, we now have a nifty little feature that allows you to easily quote extracts from posts
To make this work, simply select the text you want, then click “Quote”…
Bringing over a great feature from Flarum I see
used to love that feature, very glad it’s been implemented here.@jac yeah, I was certainly pleased to see it added into the core.

Actually @gotwf might know…

@phenomlab Nope. I have been having just too much fun playing hardware musical chairs. Not.
My daily driver decided to give up the ghost on it’s usb controller subsystem. So I did a bit of testing and swapped drives and daughter cards into what used to be my build box. USB lost it just after I got the amdgpu drm-kmod issues sorted (I think/hope) and I’ve got a bit of tweakin’ left yet to get things “just the way I like 'em”.
FreeBSD-12 to FreeBSD-13 was unlucky for me…
Opinionated two bit opinions are my own. Caveat emptor, eh?

@gotwf FreeBSD ? Wow. Now there’s flavour of Linux I’ve not used for years.

FreeBSD is BSD Unix. Not a linux distro at all. Quite different in many ways, actually.

@gotwf True, but Linux came from UNIX

Very interesting. But not really. Maybe “inspired by” in a broad sense. FreeBSD is a true unix. Berkeley roots. FBSD comprises both kernel and user land into specific releases, i.e. releng, e.g. 13.0-RELEASE. The difference may sound trivial, moot, whatever online but in practice the user experience feels polished and cohesive, lending to smoother interaction and user experiences. Whereas linux distroX can sometimes feel comparatively clunky and cobbled together. I am probably biased but I think pretty much all of the *BSD’s offer technical excellence and elegance. Part of its DNA.
Well, now that we’ve test drove this dandy new paste/quote feature, I think I’ll go watch some Netflix.
But first… an interesting and fairly well argued take bsd vs linux: https://unixsheikh.com/articles/why-you-should-migrate-everything-from-linux-to-bsd.html
And another on systemd, a big factor in my choosing not to use linux these past years whenever possible: https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-real-motivation-behind-systemd.html

@gotwf very interesting. I guess my best question is obvious in the sense that I’m dying to know what you use for a DE ?

@phenomlab Inquiring minds will be curious. See my reply in the “Miscellany” thread, eh?
