My final straw was getting a new MacBook Air (I was at that point fine with how UNIX-y macOS was) and realizing I couldn’t dock the laptop to more than one external monitor without some weird hacky third-party software fix. Why, you ask? Well not at all because the laptop technically couldn’t do it, but because Apple said it can’t, because they want to overcharge you on a Pro.

I promptly returned the MacBook, bought a Framework on eBay, and learned NixOS.

10/10, I haven’t looked back since.

Depending on how old the iPod is, you might have some luck installing rockbox firmware on it.

But, in any case, yes, moving your music over will functionally be as if copying it to an external drive.

Love Minetest. Unfortunately, though, like with many other FOSS projects, it’s hard to find anyone else using it…

Anyone got a server for us lemmings?

Anyone using this? I can’t tell what problems it actually solves for the end user.

I know Luke set up https://based.cooking/ a few years ago—is that the sort of thing you’re looking for?

Hey!

I’ve wanted something very similar—specifically, a plain-text database. I recently came across GNU recutils, which I haven’t had time to play around with yet, but which seems like it fits the bill (at least for me). There’s a couple YouTube videos on it—I encourage you to check it out!

Thank you! I was just suffering from this an hour ago…

Not to add fuel to the flame by asking, but how’s it been on Guix? I’ve heard Guix does a lot of things better, but also that there’s far less packages and it’s harder on modern hardware.

What’s that tablet it’s running on?

Fascinating! How’s it compare to youtube-tui? I’m really interested in starting to use a program like this… the YouTube website is so unbearably slow.

Catchy manifesto, perhaps, but the Yippies historically (to the extent there even was such a group) were the absolute pinnacle of spectacle for its own sake. They got nothing done, and ultimately served only to hurt the public image of the legitimate countercultural movements in the long term. I think it seriously goes against the more pragmatic and action-oriented outlook of Solarpunk to take cues from these guys.

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.

Yeah actually is there a way to NOT have nano on the system? I’d really like to remove it…

Always nice to see Helix :)

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.

I think it’s also worth pointing out the social factor in pen/paper notes as well—jotting things down on a notepad seems a lot more attentive than typing into your phone.

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.
