Kuraj··on KDE Plasma 6.8 Now Makes Tiled Windows Fit Together More Nicely
IF we're going that route, maybe tiled windows shouldn't cast a shadow either?
Kuraj··on Nike exits the S&P 100 after 18 years and a $200B market-cap wipeout
I don't think half the globe is that invested in what Trump is doing, much less against it.
Kuraj··on Polishing Cloth Updated
It makes sense that people tend to upvote things thats make them laugh over things that make them upset.
Kuraj··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
If there is any positive to be had from this, it's that we finally started documenting the codebases for AI as we should have always done it for other teammates.
Kuraj··on I don't recommend Tailwind CSS
> It breaks the separation between structure and design

I have a problem with this argument because CSS _itself_ breaks that separation.

`border: 1px solid red;` is design, but `display: flex;` is structure.

In my opinion, it makes sense for display properties to live in the HTML because they are by their very nature very tighly coupled to the markup.

Though I appreciate that making this distinction creates a separate problem of your team having to exercise good judgement (and consistency) in which CSS belongs where.

Kuraj··on AI coding agents should optimize for less owned code
You might be interested in Ponytail, which seems to address this specific problem: https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail
Kuraj··on Show HN: Reverse Minesweeper
Ah yes - my bad. I fixated on the part where you have to uncover the mines instead of avoiding them.
Kuraj··on Git rebase -i is not that scary
I'm not scared of rebasing I'm scared of force pushing
Kuraj··on Jimothy the raccoon has a rare spinal condition. Here's what that means
It's definitely a worldwide phenomenon at this point. Memes know no borders
Kuraj··on Show HN: Reverse Minesweeper
MSN MESSENGER HAD THIS!

I used to play this with a friend. You would take turns, that is, the mines would reveal themselves in real time, and your turn ended if you missed a mine.

Then the game would call you a slut when it ended, because my friend's MSN was in Swedish and that is the word for "end"

Kuraj··on What Do We Know About the Microplastics Inside Us?
Wait, there's more to this than a meme?
Kuraj··on Steam Machine launches today
Kernel level anticheat doesn't make sense on Linux because the kernel is open. There's simply no incentive to do that
Kuraj··on Do women’s mate preferences change across the ovulatory cycle? (2014) [pdf]
You literally got a research paper proving the contrary handed to you on a silver platter. We know what you were trying to say, the parent comment is calling you out
Kuraj··on Denuvo has been cracked in all single-player games it previously protected
The bigger problem with Denuvo is that it appears to significantly impact game performance as well
Kuraj··on I went to America's worst national parks so you don't have to
How many of these pictures did y'all download while trying to close them?
Kuraj··on LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer
> I think most people would interpret “scanning your computer” as breaking out of the confines the browser and gathering information from the computer itself. If this was happening, the magnitude of the scandal would be hard to overstate.

But at the end of the day, the browser is likely where your most sensitive data is.

Kuraj··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
I guess the silver lining is that the Windows ABI is extremely stable
Kuraj··on Office.eu launches as Europe's sovereign office platform
I agree. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Kuraj··on Interview with Øyvind Kolås, GIMP developer (2017)
Don't sleep on the command palette (`/`). It's a really useful tool when even if you don't know _where_ things are, you still know what they are called.
Kuraj··on Don't create .gitkeep files, use .gitignore instead (2023)
If you need to do this, I think .gitkeep communicates intent better. You don't need to document it or risk it being removed as thought to be a left over.
Kuraj··on Photopea-Online Photo Editor
I had no idea, that's amazing.
Kuraj··on Oregon gave homeless youth $1k/month with no strings
Queer people are at a greater risk of being estranged from their families, if nothing else.
Kuraj··on GOG: Linux "the next major frontier" for gaming as it works on a native client
It wouldn't make sense not to.
Kuraj··on Playing Arcade Mahjong at Home? Or is it just a Mirage?
The hardest part of IRL play for me has been actually getting 4 people who know how to play the game in a single room lol
Kuraj··on Janet Jackson had the power to crash laptop computers (2022)
It wasn't exactly disappointing. I loved to read The Old New Thing back in the day, Raymond's blog was full of stuff like this.
Kuraj··on Making Google Sans Flex
I've come to realize that barely anyone I know uses swipe typing anymore, and that this is why using it laying flat is viable in the first place
Kuraj··on Windows 11 will ask consent before sharing personal files with AI after outrage
KDE is SO GOOD.

I've distro hopped and DE hopped a lot before settling, but it's been amazing for me as somoeone who has switched over from Windows. It just doesn't get in the way, is super familiar for me, AND lets me do a lot of things I wish I had in Windows.

I was worried about the "choice fatigue" due to it being super configurable and all, but honestly the defaults are so sensible I haven't really had a reason to tinker with it much if at all.

Kuraj··on Programmers and software developers lost the plot on naming their tools
At least you weren't the guy hitting a wall when trying to get a testing library integrated because it was named Testacular
Kuraj··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches

Kuraj··on Microsoft won't let me pay a $24 bill, blocking thousands in Azure spending
I locked myself out of Azure after losing 2FA which turned out to be different 2FA than the one tied to my Microsoft Account.

All support channels are now AI and refuse to help and redirect me to self service. There is _no_ self service path for Azure account recovery if you lose your 2FA token.

It's infuriating. I lost access to a bunch of hobby projects I had hosted on DevOps. Microsoft will never see a dime from me.
