I still enjoy and use https://blitzmax.org/

Unpopular opinion, but I think the "Lofi" sound or style ruins perfectly fine songs.

*losing trillions

I don't get it... it looks flat to me?

Is anything really "free"?

XMPP always seemed great, buy I have yet to find a client that can replace Telegram's client on both desktop and mobile.

It still doesn't actually display a window my end until I press a keyboard key or move the mouse. So very often I sit and wait for it to open, only to realize I have to press a random key for it to unhide.

Terrible Linux support.

I downloaded the Radicle desktop client yesterday, entered my new username and password and... nothing happened. Tried restarting the app and do it again, but I never got past the account creation/login screen. So my Radicle adventure ended there.

I just run Gemma4 12B MLX via Ollama and it's been doing fantastic work!

Is Gemma 4 E2B actually "usable"? I've been running Gemma 4 12B and it handles everything very well! But the second I've moved down to E4B it's been unable to perform the simplest of tasks. So I can't even imagine how E2B would do... Or am I doing something wrong?

Wow, finally! Thanks for sharing.

I want to use Thunderbird, but it's so... weird. And why can it not be minimized to tray? Am I supposed to sit and keep the Thunderbird window open at all times?

https://blitzmax.org is always going to be my preferred BASIC.

I absolutely agree. I just don't like this American superiority on HN.

Probably because they're not corrupt America. They don't walk around checking their back every minute for "Uncle Freedom" screwing them over.

You mean `exec claude "$@"`

1.0 and Zed still won't appear until I touch my mouse or press a key after it's been started...

Every KDE app I try (and the Plasma desktop) seems so good on paper, and they promise me the world! Then, wen I actually try them out, they always end up crashing or doing something weird. Like I cannot stand GIMP, so I've tried using Krita, but I don't think I've ever managed to finish something in it before it crashes. It's the same with Kdenlive.

Damn shame.

This happens to me when I brush off my mousepad too fast with my palm. It will also cause my wireless headset to "reboot".

Heh. American funny

What would the in between be?

I recommend changing the key to Super. As holding down Alt and clicking/dragging is often used by many applications and simply won't work then.

That is not XFCE itself, that is up to your theme. I'm on the Dracula theme and have about 16 pixels.

I've been using XFCE for a long time now. I often give GNOME and KDE Plasma a try, but I have to tweak GNOME so much to make it usable, and KDE Plasma keeps crashing and has weird issues (Steam friends list being delayed for example), which just got worse when they switched to Wayland. I really do feel like XFCE on x11 is the logical choice, it "just works" and every app runs well (Discord has broken hotkeys on Wayland), it's stable, and whenever people see my XFCE setup they think it's something like KDE Plasma because it looks so "good" (or different at least). It even works well even on my 32:9 aspect ratio monitor, which isn't something I can say about some other desktops.

Spot on.

They started with Hyprland, GNOME or KDE Plasma. Most of them have ended up using Cinnamon, and the rest use XFCE.

I'm not against Wayland, but I think Wayland is currently not good for the Linux ecosystem. I've had lots of friends try Linux, and they've had issues with Discord global keyboard shortcuts not working, and window positions not restoring at application start, and lots of other small issues, which add up in the end. But once they switched to X11, they've all been very happy.

I don't understand how Wayland is becoming the norm when it can't even restore window positions yet.

This is my go-to site!

I've tried to use this, but I'm on multiple servers with tons of channels, and it gets a bit unwieldy without tabs. I also can't get it to minimize to tray, and having to "keep it open" at all times is somewhat annoying. I'll stick with Quassel for now.

Really impressive work though, you should be proud!
