i’ve tried bismuth and krohnkite, they’re still the “grab bag of canned layouts” type of tiling extension, pop shell lets me build a binary tree with arbitrary splits and tabs like I could do in sway or hyprland and as far as I know the clunky built-in snap zone menu is the closest thing that’s available for plasma
I’m not a big fan of i3 either, pop shell and gnome are the best combination i’ve tried because i get the niceties of i3-style tiling but with good mouse-based defaults and I don’t have to waste time configuring things that everyone needs on a daily basis
afaik KDE still doesn’t have any tolerable way to tile windows on wayland
if i need to open a menu to set up zones you are doing it wrong. if i have to pick from premade layouts you are doing it wrong. pop shell on gnome would be perfect if it wasn’t married to gnome and slowly rotting over time: i can pick up a window, drag it to where i want to put it in the binary tiling tree, and it goes there.
As I understand it, the core purpose of art is communication. Using a graphical editor to create web pages is still honest art in my opinion, because although you’re assembling it out of larger primitives, you’re still communicating a substantial message. It’s similar to collage; the pieces you’ve assembled aren’t your work, and the viewer knows that. The important part is how they’re arranged and the message that arrangement communicates.
AI-generated art feels deceptive and hollow to a lot of people because when we see art, we expect it to communicate something substantial, but in the case of AI art, the model can’t magically add more meaning beyond the words of the prompt. Not to mention, the cultural grand larceny involved in creating AI art tools leaves a bad taste in most honest people’s mouths.
iirc syncthing is encrypted, which matters because it will pass your data through a relay if it can’t connect directly.
check out deltachat, it’s an email client with an interface like an instant messaging app
As someone with ADHD, I do horribly when I try to learn online. If it’s not being forced to the forefront of my mind by going to a classroom every few days, I never get any assignments done and I end up failing.
silly idea: have a microwave on site, put players’ glasses in there for a few seconds to nuke any sensitive electronics inside without causing damage to metal structural elements
The primary reasoning I’ve heard is that it’s easier to do arithmetic with numbers that are factors of your numeral base and 12 has more factors than 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 vs. 1, 2, 5, 10)
Base 12 seems a little impractical to me since humans have 10 fingers, which makes base 10 easier to teach to children, but it’s a matter of opinion i guess
τ is equal to 2π, which allows the formula for the circumference of a circle to be written more concisely (τr vs. 2πr or πd) but complicates most other places where π is used, like in the area of a circle (τr^2/2 vs. πr^2)
Sometimes when I get a call from an unfamiliar number with my area code (I don’t live there anymore so it’s always a scam spoofing a nearby number) I roleplay as a 911 operator and don’t drop the act until they hang up, threaten them with penalties for wasting public resources and such. It’s probably not strictly legal but they’re calling me illegally too so i think it pretty much evens out :)

Nix only stores each version of a package once, environments work by setting environment variables and such to control which packages are visible
You don’t need to abandon your distro’s package manager to use Nix, so you can adopt it as much or as little as you like.
I’ll never std::mem::forget you…
the PineTime can run for over a week in my experience, but it runs at 64 MHz and has 64kb of RAM, so telling time is pretty much its limit
How is this better than a normal messaging protocol like Matrix? What does blockchain add to the solution?
These days, being an open-source browser that isn’t part of the Chromium monopoly is pretty much the only good thing they have left…
audhd memory: i remember the license plate number of a car that i rode in exactly once when I was 7, but i couldn’t tell you what i had for breakfast yesterday to save my life
