Ah, ok—was it also immutable like the new one is?

I thought this had already happened?

I remember seeing ads on Steam for SteamOS years ago—wasn’t there a point at which you could download and run it on your own computer? What happened?

Wow! First time seeing this. Anyone using it with a Framework 13? Is there any risk of damaging your system with it?

NixOS because it’s easy to understand—I can pop open any .nix file in my config and see exactly what is being set up, so I don’t have to mentally keep track of innumerable imperative changes I would otherwise make to the system, and thus lose track of the entropy over time.

I’m curious why links2 over, say, w3m? It feels like none of the terminal browsers are as nice as they could be these days…

I’ve used it for uni on a Linux tablet/convertible and it worked really quite well and has some nice convenient features for note-taking.

What tablet did you use?

If you’re on Wayland, fuzzel just keeps getting better each release.

Wait, so how do we print now?

NixOS. Declarative system management is just so unbelievably simple and reliable that I couldn’t ever see myself going back to a traditional Linux system.

I’m very pleased to discover this. I’ve been using this online editor for a while—good to have a local alternative.

I tried imv and hated it. I just use feh (through XWayland) or mpv now.

As if I needed more reasons to love Stephen Fry!

What’s that tablet it’s running on?

This is awesome! Thank you!

These look great!

I’d personally be curious, though, to experiment with non-standard input and UI designs on these phones. Although the touchscreen model has become standard, I’m not sure it’s ultimately the best for all things—I’ve been deeply enjoying my Garmin watch, for example, which has four buttons rather than a touchscreen. I think buttons, dials, etc., (besides simply feeling good to use) are faster for some things. If we’re gonna go against the grain, why not go crazy? I think physical buttons (or at least stuff like the back button on Android) may be to touchscreen interfaces what keyboard-centric workflows are to the mouse and GUI (in terms of efficiency).

I guess I should have written the post a bit more clearly. I’ve got the for_window part, it’s just that after I set the opacity for all windows app_id=.*, the following lines of the config cannot override that for the specific windows I want different opacities for.

How have I never heard of this! This is awesome!

Very cool. yabai is a great project that makes macOS actuallly usable.

I think it’s possible to remap Helix to be almost (if not completely) Vim-like. I got it to be (I think completely) Kakoune-like with like 15 lines in my config.

The best way to understand really is to install both and try yourself, but basically I would say Kakoune is more “radical” than Helix, which feels more like Vim. Both move the selection in normal mode, but Helix has you extend it using what’s basically visual mode, whereas Kakoune cuts out visual mode altogether and has you hold Shift. As you can see in the config, reconfiguring what Shift does causes issues with normal Vim bindings (like joining selections with J), so Kakoune solves this with Alt.

After using it for a few days, it made a lot of sense to my brain—I would say, in general, Kakoune feels enormously well thought-out and carefully considered in every element of its design.
