I have been working on a Wayland Tiling WM and have thought about expanding more into the DE space. While it’s finally starting to get to a good spot, it’s pretty daunting to consider all of the other items that need to be developed for a fully-featured DE. Especially when it’s something I’m doing as a side project after my day job. I think for anything bigger it’d require financial backing, for which open source projects are still struggling to find a good solution.

I hear Katie Porter is available…

In case you aren’t aware, Biden just dropped out.

Bernie as VP would be a bit of a waste. VPs don’t do much other than push for their leader’s agenda. A younger Progressive would be great, but at this late in the game could be very risky unless they’ve already been tested on a national stage.

There’s no need to do a second term. Just fill the gap now to win and push for more progressive policies. This set up the next generation to take over in '28.

Even though he’s old, I think it’d still work. By keeping her as VP there’s continuity of Biden’s administration and she’s ready to take over if he doesn’t complete the term. He has broad appeal with Independents which will bolster their chances of winning in November.

It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.

After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!

If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.

I did just order one to replace my MacBook, so I’m interested in hearing from others as well. The upgradability was a big plus for me beyond being able to have a mobile Linux machine for dev work.

Plants and animals don’t file tickets.

Yeah, lack of XWayland support has been an issue for me. Versioning the config API is something I’ve been considering, or at least ensuring backwards compatibility.

I’d be interested in other ideas or pain points you’ve experienced. Not to suggest I’ll ever have something production-grade, but my hope is to get to a point that I have a working daily driver and potentially share it with others.

There’s also Strata, Niri, and to some extent Cosmic. My problem has been that they tend to be very opinionated and limited in the customization of the layouts. Having used XMonad for a long time, I may be a bit spoiled in that regard…

I do think there’s a middle ground for configuration without requiring programming skills, which can be off-putting for many users. After all, most layouts are just a combination of rows and columns. 😛

I actually started working on one a few weeks ago. It’s amazing how easy it was to get the basics working. Still a long way to go, but it’s a fun project in the meantime and hopefully can result in something that supports my desired flow.

But do they pet them?

In a similar vein, I’ve seen a lot of auto moderator implementations created. If instead of creating yet another project, people started contributing to existing ones we’d have a good core set of functionality that could be shared across instances. Competing implementations are fine, but at some point the efforts get spread so thin that progress is limited.

The planes collect it as they fly through clouds. Imagine drinking water that’s touched the ground…

I think a more apt description would be proxy cards. It’s relatively new, but it lets you create cards that are linked to your primary without ever issuing a plastic card. This way if fraud happens you only need to replace it for the services it was used on. Or if you happen to lose your physical card, you can have it replaced without affecting the others.

I emailed my bank about this a few years ago. Never heard back but to my surprise they actually updated the password restrictions! I should send another email asking for MFA and virtual cards…

All that marble yet they left the tile backsplash?!

I’m not sure what’s worse. The engineer that thought this would work or the company that doesn’t do code reviews.

Given that they fold, it’s very likely they were placed against something with rust. That possibly being the underside of another chair.

She also tends to pretty active in the comments.
