I second this. A lot of books are either directed to complete beginners, stuff like how to update packages and use common applications, or directed toward kernel developers. How Linux Works covers useful items that will serve more hands on users well.

I agree, I noticed that as well. It's funny how the whole world moved away from simple text pages because they seemed old fashioned, only for them really to be better than what they replaced.

It reminds me a bit of https://thebestmotherfucking.website/

I use it everyday as part of my setup, and I've been very pleased with it. It can utilize keybinds, settings, and even entire extensions from Neovim. I even use the same init.lua settings file as my actual Neovim install, by checking for an environment variable that only VSCode sets to not load extensions/bindings that don't apply to VSCode.

For example, I have ']c' bound to jump to the next changed hunk in a file. This works by leveraging a git plugin in Neovim proper, but since VSCode has built-in git support, it instead invokes a VSCode command. Even more complex extensions like Hop/Easymotion work great. I've had much better experience with it than the other Vim binding extension, which just recreates the Vim experience with native VSCode features.

There's a number of smaller companies that I think might fit the bill. I have high hopes for Framework, we'll see if they keep it going.

Valve is a good pick, at least as much as any company can.

but the one mark against them is that by pushing Steam, they normalized DRM in the video game space and killed physical media on PCs.

Without even scrolling down, there's a header describing the work they're doing for "Continuous work on speed, performance and compatibility", exactly what you asked for.

Anytime Firefox works on UI stuff, people seem to get really annoyed they aren't working on something else. You mention that "Reorganizing menus or adding alt text to PDFs won't make any impact on user adoption", I think it's the exact opposite. There is no greater thing the average everyday Joe cares more about than the UI, and if they just called it good 10 years ago, the project would be in an even worse state.

> removing about:config

about:config is right where it's always been, unless I've missed something?

While a lot of the items they bring up are legitimate issues, almost all of them are issues universal to any messenger application. They don't offer any real solutions to these issues, so I wasn't sure what they purpose of this article was then, until I got to the bottom and sure enough they have their own alternative they're wanting to pitch to you.

I use a non-flashing underline for no other reason than I like the look of it.

I've always used Kid3 on Linux

If I recall, there was a bit of sibling marriage here and there, but it wasn't until the Greeks took over that they really started inbreeding.

I constantly see this take and I'm afraid I don't agree with it. Firefox is continuing to lose market share, and I think it's less anything they're doing and due simply to the fact that Google is a household name while Mozilla is not. When the user is already using a Google phone, email, search, maps, drive, and document editor, it follows to also use their browser. Simply being a solid browser isn't enough to motivate people to switch away. So I think they should try out some new interesting ideas in the hope that some of them take off. Now, I don't think this is the feature to do that, but I won't criticize them for trying.

I've been using Ark on Linux for some time now, but have always heard people sing PeaZip's praises, curious if anyone has any experience or preference between the two.

I've seen some discussions around this ad circulating alone, and I understand the concerns, but at the same time I feel it's a bit much ado about nothing. I think the thought here is clearly "this device is the capabilities of all these items together", which frankly isn't untrue. I find it as charming or insulting as any other ad, which is to say it feels as corporate as anything else, it just comes at a time where creatives feel more on the back foot.

I know people who live nearish the KC downtown area, and live in an old elementary school that was converted into an apartment complex. A bit weird architecturally, but they seem to like it.

While I'm not interested in this device either, you could make this argument for many standalone devices. Why does Nintendo keep selling their own devices rather than putting their games on phones and PCs? They think having it as a physical, distinct device offers something that a phone app doesn't, which is pretty on brand for them.

Now, whether or not the buyers will agree with their thinking is another story.

It's referencing a very famous recruitment poster from the World Wars

Were they out of ideas in 2011, 2014, 2017, 2021?

I've never used their actual project, but I really like the article they wrote covering Firefox UI changes over time (you can find it under the wiki pages of the repo) - https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/wiki/%5BArticle%...

Mozilla has made significant UI changes every 3-4 years, with the last one being in 2021. Perhaps we're about due to see another?

> “While obviously C/C++ and Rust came to the ecosystem early on, other languages seemed to slowly put a ‘toe in the water’, first having limited support and then gradually investing more as usage takes off.”

This is the biggest limitation for me. I like WASM fine, but anytime I want to use it I have to turn back to Rust. I like Rust fine, but without support in other languages, it's not necessarily worth diving into.

"It's a feature, not a bug" ~ God, probably

That's fun. I wonder if Wendy's had to license the name Burgertime from Data East

The project has made an official post on the subject

There's also a user I follow on Mastodon who has done some very believable mockups

EDIT: Oh they're the same person as mentioned in the article! How about that.

Nim is probably my favorite language for personal projects at the moment. I love the syntax and the tools available in the STL.

However, the things I'm interested in don't require much use of 3rd party packages, but I'm told this is its current weakness. Granted, that can only be fixed if more people adopt it.

It should be noted that the author is the creator of hyprland/hyprlang, so perhaps not too surprising that they made it a dependency, although I do agree with you.

I have that exact icon theme installed, so I went and checked, and you're right. Most of the cursors look to be in the 160 KiB range (which includes all the sizes together), with only the ones that include animations getting into the MiBs

I've been experimenting with using Hyprland (a Wayland WM) on my laptop, and ironically Qt apps have been the ones that misbehave the most. Everything seems happy to use my preferred icon theme, but when hovering over a Qt app, the sizing greatly changes. I've mostly just gotten used to it (plus I never really got their overall theming correct) but I might have to try this out and see if it fixes my issues.

I'm excited to find this. I've been aware of Game Boy colorization projects for some time, but I was always curious of how it was best to go about it. I understand the basic principles of how color memory was used in the GBC, but it always seemed a bit daunting to get into.

Most of the work I've done is raw hex editing (which I've always known wasn't ideal), so I'm curious about their methods here. I will admit that as someone familiar with the concepts but not the methods, what their compilation script is doing, or how creating it helps the project along, is a bit lost on me.

Unless I'm mistaken, their sister project Citra, a 3DS emulator, is also gone now. https://github.com/citra-emu

Only their website remains
