If you just need the functionality then fzf does (among other things) exactly that. Interactive fuzzy cd. If you use the shell bindings you can do cd foo/bar/**<tab> to get a recursive fuzzy matching or you can do alt+c to immediately find any subdirectory and directly cd into it upon pressing enter. You can also use Ctrl+T to find and insert a path into the prompt.

Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.

A lot of people I know regularly use screen sharing through discord or opentalk. Both for work/productivity and while gaming (watching each other, helping, sharing what people are up to etc).

To get people to switch it sadly should support all features: text, voice, video and sending files/images/gifs/videos.

It’s tough.

I just bought an Innioasia Y1, which is an iPod classic clone for $50.

Put an unofficial Rockbox port on it and installed a 512gb micro SD card. Ignoring the mediocre DAC and comparatively unresponsive click wheel it’s pretty good. I finally have my entire music library with me again and look at my phone less often (both of which were goals of getting an mp3 player again).

I was big into mp3 players 15-20 years ago and used Rockbox on all of them so this is really nice especially at the price point.

PS: They are working on a Y2 that improves upon a lot of things. The Y1 was marketed as a kids device but is awesome with Rockbox on it and went viral the past few months.

Yup. Been on Niri for a couple of months and it works very well and is super stable.

Niri seems to have a vision whereas Hyprland folks just seem to push as many features and changes as they can with little consideration.

I moved on to Niri a couple of months ago for various reasons, constantly having to fix and re-check my config against the docs being one of them.

For me Niri performs better, I really like the workflow and the dev behind it is very deliberate with new features and changes. Feels like he has a clear vision on how it’s supposed to work and it shows imo.

I feel like Windows 11 is just another Microsoft “Windows moment”.

I’ve used this neovim keybind for years:

vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gy', '"+y') -- copy
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gp', '"+p') -- paste 

I was able to copy/paste between nvim and other applications on sway, Hyprland, Niri and KDE on Wayland.

The global clipboard register + should also work in modern regular vim afaik.

You must use a different Wayland than I do.

I play competitive multiplayer games with VRR on a 4k240 monitor in a tiling wm with direct scanout. Color management support (HDR, 10bit, anything beyond 8bit sRGB) is also coming along.

I’ve never had a better working setup than this. Everything on X was painful. Even just getting vsync to work properly used to be tricky in some cases.

I agree that wayland does miss features compared to X but a lot of them are conscious design decisions and don’t affect me personally. For example running graphical applications remotely through e.g. SSH or the complete lack of security allowing any application to easily read my keyboard input.

It wouldn’t even surprise me if some of the 150kg of cocaine went missing.

Nice. I didn’t know about that and will check it out later. I am also using ALVR to play modded Beat Saber multiplayer on linux and have a very well working setup and configuration by now but it’s still not great compared to Virtual Desktop on Windows with my Pico 4.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger

A third-pound burger is a hamburger containing a patty that weighs one-third of a pound (approximately 5.3 ounces or 150 grams) before cooking. It is larger than a quarter-pound burger (4 ounces or 113 grams), which is commonly offered by fast-food chains. The third-pound burger became widely known in the 1980s following a marketing campaign by A&W Restaurants in the United States. The campaign, which sought to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, was unsuccessful because consumers misunderstood fractions, making it a case study in consumer behavior and marketing communication.

Remember to always keep at least one kernel or your system won’t boot.

I would not trust any company/website to properly encrypt any important messages in the first place so I don’t care whether they add a backdoor (and I’ve never had a Twitter account anyway).

…but it sounds like a really shitty development/release process to me. Why would you disable something while whatever is to come in its place is not ready yet?

Why not do the development first and then migrate when it’s actually ready lol

Massive +1. I can easily imagine complex 3D shapes in my head and freely manipulate them, but my brain works horrible when it comes to icons for some reason. I can’t intuitively find what I need, not even after months or years. Even after using something for a long time I will constantly hover over all icons to read the tooltips until I find what I need.

The software I work on at work has a navigation at the top of just icons. I see it every day and I just can’t seem to associate the icons with the functionality.

I do it, too. I rarely read any text without subconsciously marking the text while reading it. Might be a tool for me (ADHD) to make it easier not to lose track - I don’t know.

But regardless of why people do it and while I agree that it’s probably something very specific not a lot of users do, I refuse to believe that anyone actually uses those select->popup-> share features, ever. Often the little pop-up even blocks the text above it which is just insanely bad UX imo.

Sites should never mess with core functionality without asking (scrolling, selection, tab/keyboard navigation, hijacking common shortcuts/right click, clipboard, history, etc).

I believe someone came up with that idea a decade+ ago and people just want it on their site to add value without actually checking if anyone uses it.

It’s not a free article if they require anything from me.

But to be fair, Nix is not the only answer to that. There are lots of tools for just dotfiles but you can also build something using e.g. ansible to manage everything.

All my computers have their config in a git repo. That includes users, packages, services, dotfiles, /etc configs and so on. I used ansible before writing my own tool. I can install Arch from scratch and only need to partition, run one script and then apply my config on first boot using my tool to have my system restored. I know it’s not as declarative and absolute/reproducible as Nix, but it works and it’s way less painful than my last attempt at giving NixOS a go.

The code of the packages is the documentation. So the newcomers better start learning Nix language and reading the paper about how Nix works under the hood before they get started! /s

But seriously, I used NixOs for about 2 years almost 10 years ago and while it was/is fascinating when you have everything setup, getting there and maintaining everything across so many packages that each have their own way of configuring them took hundreds of hours. I’m back on Arch using a custom tool I wrote to fully manage my configs, packages, dotfiles etc.

The way I remember it is that there is no consistency across Nix packages and it all feels like a giant puzzle for people who enjoy spending time configuring more than actually using the computer. And I say that as someone who actually enjoyed getting into that when I had unlimited time.
