I'm just pointing out that GNOME and other DEs do lots of things a WM doesn't, and in a way that someone like my mum understands.

Next you'll be telling me to get an FTP account, mount it locally using curlftpfs and then use SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.

That's still the only fish plugin I have installed. alt+ctrl+f and ctrl+r are indispensable.

There isn't, but this one provides a good overview. https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/fzf-linux-fuzzy-finder The tl;dr is that it provides terminal fuzzy finding that can be plugged into just about any task that inv

And then there are those of us who deal with nonce daily. I wince every time I see the word, and it's really awkward if non-technical folks hear us talking about them.

Delphi's data aware components were power tools. It didn't take much longer than building something in Access, but dead easy to plug it into a RDBMS; extremely fast to work with; stable, simple to deploy. As I remember, making val

Even screen sharing is mostly solved now. I do it daily without issue on Fedora with Wayland. The only thing concession I need to make is running Slack in a browser tab instead of the app, because the app comes with an older version of Elec

I maintain a collection of view components[0] and lots are built without a template, just using the Rails tag helpers directly[1]. They're easy to write, familiar to any Rails dev and very fast. [0] https://govuk-components.

I'd been looking forward to SC2013 for years and it was beyond disappointing. I know I'm probably not a typical gamer in EA's eyes, but SC4 was such a solid release. It just needed playable regions (build multiple cities, joi

I immediately recognised the Cambridge Audio subwoofer under the desk. I had the same set on my PC from about 1998-1999 along with an Aureal Vortex. I loved that setup. https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjgzWDEwMjQ=/

I was on the verge of buying a Shield but this has put me off.

Again, hugely overcomplicating. Scoop of coffee, grind, add, pour in some water from a boiled kettle, stir, wait for a minute or three, invert, press.

If you're productive and happy with nano I'm not sure there is one. I love vim and find it an incredibly productive tool, but it's rare that my editing speed is the limiting factor. However, in recent years with LSPs, the sug
