Given what you say about how you use i3/tmux, I think it can replace both for you if you can adapt to it's sense of static tabbed and tiling window management.

I finally started reading The Book of Disquiet, which I have had sitting about for years. Quite surprised by it, has a far greater range than people make it out to have and some amazing humor. It is t…

Give the AI the topic you want to write about and a few of the supporting ideas you want to touch on, ask it to elaborate on them, bounce back and fourth with it and question all of its suggestions, d…

Admittedly, I skimmed over much of your post, it is a bit round about and takes the scenic route (I also have a tendency to take the scenic route). If you want to use AI in your writing but maintain y…

Style is pretty much a set of neurodivergent ticks. having a cohesive style requires understanding them so you don't argue with yourself mid sentence, unless you have a good reason to do so which…

I don't think your passion is programming if AI erodes it, your passion was the external validation which programming provided. TFA kind of touches on this but I think dances around it trying to…

It is the sort of mentality required to reach the place in computing which linux has. Decent chance you have linux running on something you own even if you do not run it on your computer and even if y…

2.6 was also the switch from OSS to Alsa, which caused some fun, Alsa really was not ready for prime time.

Slackware only does long term stable releases but Slackware current is a rolling release that does not really feel like a rolling release because of how Slackware provides a full and complete system a…

Arch was young in those days but I think fairly well known? we were quite vocal, opinionated and interjecting our views everywhere by the time of the Xfree86/Xorg switch. Perhaps it is just my vi…

Systemd was the end of Arch for me, my rarely used Arch install was massively broken by its first update in ~6 months largely because of systemd. With some work I got things sorted out and working aga…

Most distros were stable well before Arch because Arch worked out most of the bugs for them and documented them on their wiki. Arch and other bleeding edge distros are still a big part of the stabilit…

I didn't really get into custom kernels until I started using Crux. A few years after I started using Arch I got sick of the rolling release and Arch's constant breakages, so I started looki…

This would be back in the 00s. I would guess that Arch got stable around 2010? I was using Slackware as my primary system by then so don't know exactly when it happened, someone else can probably…

I learned linux by using Arch back in the days when pacman -Syu was almost certain to break something and there was a good chance it would break something unique to your install. This was also back in…

I don't think Andrew believes Zig is going kill C or C++, he probably has hope but I think he is aware of the reality. He found a way to make a living on something he was passionate about. Use-af…

So no one should even try because they will never win over all of the C/C++ crowd so are doomed to fail and forever to be a wannabe? I think Andrew has gone about things in a good way, going back…

Being at 0.16 right now does not mean much. From what I gather, he is more focused on the semantics right now and trying to avoid getting bitten by a lack of foresight down the road, as most every lan…

>Also Jai is like C++ in complexity, while Zig is similar to C, very simple language. And most importantly, Zig is aiming at being a C++ replacement with the simplicity of C, it is not trying to re…

I mostly agree with Ilove1234561, whose account was created just 25 minutes ago and apparently was created just to reply to this post, which raises some questions. But I am willing to be surprised.

I have yet to get an ad with ChatGPT, I think it only gives ads when you are asking about consumerist type things, which I never do but seems a completely reasonable thing to me and I would not have i…

I always like seeing Forth submissions and TFA is one of the sources I referenced when I first started getting into Forth, but I think the bias towards Forth being primarily useful because it is small…

Some are placing their bets and hoping to win big, some are just having fun and exploring the new technology and most are probably like me and have found those few areas that the technology works for …

I was really hoping for a tracker with the only sound being a good model of a bassoon, one of my favorite instruments. But this is a pretty good little tracker, always like seeing a new tracker. http…

Distance is fairly variable, minimum is 4 miles, a busy day can be 50 miles. When we get extended bitter cold I tend to start running errands before work since I can break up the distances and stop an…

We can go from 30C to 5C in a couple minutes with a wind change, the weather here keeps your toes. We always get down into the -20sF with another 20 degrees thrown in by the windchill and can spend we…

It is much better than the expensive oils, but not as good as old fashioned 3in1. The expensive chain lubes are mostly meant for racing, they give you the least friction by a long shot but don't …
