While I prefer deeply nested menus (and I acknowledge I'm a weirdo at that) there's plasma-manager if you happen to use Nix and home-manager. I don't know if it will help in that specific case but if you'd rather have th

I've encountered the same KDE bug in NixOS though from what I understood when I did some digging[0][1] it doesn't manifest on distros like Fedora. Now I'm using Cinnamon until the bug gets fixed which I enjoy too but it doesn

Not OP and I won't dispute your point exactly but I'd like to point to a book called Pixel Logic wherein the author makes the same point regarding pixel art. Even though you'll be using stuff like the Lasso and Paint Bucket t

Yeah, between KDE and Cinnamon I can focus on my work and have the desktop environment gently fade into the background. Though some get a similar feeling using stuff like i3, sway or Niri.

I know feels aren't the objective truth but I feel like most people would default to running "new-cli-tool --help" first thing as a learned (defensive) habit. After all quite a bit of stuff that runs in a terminal emulator do

I sometimes clone stuff around my local filesystem and pretty much yeah it's a shame GitHub has captured so much of the mindshare around git.

There's a fun thing regarding Emacs, lots of stuff came first in Emacs and trickled down to other editors or IDEs sometimes in a better form but often times in an inferior or lowest common denominator form. For example while command pa

To provide another data point: I too use NixOS and oh boy that one-time is really costly. And while we're sharing Nix stuff for LLMs there's this piece of kit too: https://github.com/YPares/rigup.nix

Hear, hear. I used to dislike low effort replies and comments that were written hastily and contained spelling/grammar mistakes, weird turns of phrase or even feeling incomplete like two different thoughts mashed together and presented

Same here, I've slept these past few years on Flutter even when someone recommended trying it out and was pretty enthused about it. Last month I got roped in a greenfield project and allowed to chose the stack, instead of the tried and

I've been using a Shokz pair of headphones off and on for around 5 years and while they're great indoors I wouldn't really recommend them outside. Due to the city noise you'll probably tend to crank the volume pretty hig

I always believed stuff like Proton and Tutanota to pander to individuals who cared about privacy but who fell ultimately to their shiny marketing campaigns. Anyway most people would be better served when disavowing any notion that email is

I don't know why but I could never get it to work properly and had more success with the Bottles flatpak instead. I should really check out a tutorial for Lutris because people are always praising it and I feel it's more of a me p

I've never thought about it this way but now that you mention it both blogging and FOSS once stripped of substance seem like L'esprit de l'escalier externalized. Do I go soul searching now or start a blog?

I just want to chime in and say I enjoy reading your takes across HN, it's also inspiring how informative and insightful they are. Glazing over, please never stop writing.

It's actually weird to me how none of the big players put their money where their mouth is and vibe coded a new IDE built from the ground up for this paradigm shift regardless of tech stack.
