Worth mentioning: Anyone using TachiyomiJ2K (I use it for Surface Duo dual-screen support) or another fork with support who has some self-hosting prowess, there's always Suwayomi - It will let you "migrate" to a third-party sources repo even if your app doesn't support it, since it becomes your device's only local extension.

That's pretty much what I do as well. It was an absolute game-changer for me when I discovered tiling WMs some ~7 years ago, because it meant super consistent keyboard shortcuts for getting to exactly what I wanted to interact with. I know where individual apps/tasks go, so I put them there. And then when I need to switch to them, it's as straightforward as Super+[workspace].

Also helps a ton that i3wm's workspaces only take up a single monitor at a time, which makes it excellent for jumping between monitors.

None of this is set in stone, but I usually follow a relatively consistent pattern:

Center Monitor

• 1: Primary/"serious tasks" web browser
• 4: Any remote or virtualized desktop I might have open at the time
• 6: Image/video editors. Also sometimes just misc usage.
• 8: Development web browser next to neovim
• 9: Steam/games
• 10: Misc. Often a DBMS or file manager
• 11: Misc. Often where I put any secondary tasks or second projects I need to reference
• 12: Misc. Often where I'll stick any long-running tasks that I just need to check on every now and again.

Left monitor

• 2: Music/comms/task list

Right monitor

• 3: Always only a terminal.
• 5: Text editor to use as a
• 7: Secondary/"wasting time" web browser

For a super long time, I was a CLI-purist when it came to git, and I still maintain that anyone who knows how to use git should be able to do anything via the CLI entirely.

However, over the past few months I have used gitui through vim-floaterm, with it setup to auto-launch as the floating terminal opens. Super useful to just hit a hotkey while in nvim and bash out a super quick commit/push with just a couple keystrokes.

Ok, sure. I recognize that not everyone has a computer. And sure, an F-droid release would be really helpful for those people, if "build it yourself" was the only way to get the app.

But ... It's not like the app is inaccessible. It's on the play store. You can install it.

My main frustration is the outright demand for the project creator to "Just release it on F-Droid" - Something that requires the creator to get familiar with F-droid and do the extra leg-work to release it there. But ... It's an open source app, created for free by someone who wanted to create it. They owe you nothing. Not even "good distribution".

Wow, the entitlement of "I don't want to do things myself, do extra work for me instead".

screen doesn’t scroll

Screen (and any other muxer) can scroll just fine. You just have to learn how to do it in each one. Tmux, for example, is ctrl+b [ to enter scroll mode.

mistyped file operations

Get a good TUI file manager. I use and recommend ranger.

because I'm objectively a terrible programmer.

Sounds like you know enough to know you don't know that much, which means you're a better programmer than you think!

TIL a new word. Thanks, stranger! 🙂

I've done it with a new language each year in the past, but this year I decided to do it with stuff I'm very familiar with - with an added twist: I have to visualize something for each day.

So I built myself a little app/puzzle harness that serves up the sample/puzzle input and provides some boilerplate so I can just write the x-data for a new Alpine.js module for each day. Then I setup d3 and plan to visualize something for each day using it. For example, I just settled on a simple bar graph (final value of each row) for each part of day 1:

Hoping once it inevitably gets to grids and such, I can do something more interactive. Would love to have something where I can animate or manually step through each step of the solution (such as the pathfinding algorithm last year).

Back in the distant past of 2008, a RuneScape player by the name of Icedpizza thought my complaints about driver problems on older hardware would be easily solved by this incredible thing I'd never heard of called Ubuntu. Downloaded 8.04 Hardy Heron and my life has never been the same since.

I've really enjoyed The Steel Woods, though I'm not certain they're quite the same.

That headline confuses me. Dame Aylin is not only conventionally attractive but is also a strong boisterous meathead who kicks total ass. What's not to love?

I definitely wish there was a good NLVE for Android that was FOSS. Currently using LumaFusion because it's the most powerful one I've found but it was $21 on sale

I literally just hit 500 hours. I bought it on launch day and have played it 4 full times and running three active play throughs. One solo, one with my wife, one with a close friend.

Still having an absolute blast just trying all the things. Currently playing a dark urge drow and it's so different from even my dark urge tiefling. And very very different from my goodie two shoes paladin. Ugh I'm just having so much fun with it lol

Fair!

Weird. That super bites. Well,I can assure you it doesn't strike me as a site culture thing- But I've also not seen examples so I hesitate to try and say that with any authority.

It doesn't seem like a site culture thing to me, but I've also not seen examples of what you're talking about so I can't say for sure. That really bites though.

Genuine question, what's wrong with programming.dev? I've been on this instance for a couple months now and so far have only really seen technical and programming discussions on the communities I'm subscribed to.

I've not super kept up with the "everything" feed and all the conversations surrounding hexbear... but so far all I'm seeing is people being really polarized about stuff I'm not informed about - and as such, prefer to keep quiet about - so I just lurk a bit in such threads as I don't feel I have much to contribute.

Most of the stuff I've seen has been between hexbear and SIJW though, this is the first comment I've seen mention PD.

But both run on either desktop environment. This is a rather silly question.

Huh. I've had Premium for years and never once had it show me ads anyway. Crazy that other people have.
