and chose opposite conventions for the meaning of "vertical" and "horizontal" splits and it will be the death of me

@aburka The solution is to pick one, and stick with it. I chose to only split with tmux. The different panes let me see the forest. When i need to see the trees, Iโ€™ll zoom the window so that itโ€™s full screen.

The only time i split with vim nowadays, is if I need to copy from one part of a file to another part of the file.

if you need to use both equally, Iโ€™d suggest you update your leader / prefix bindings to make splits predictable.

This happens every time

Gmail: this email looked like spam so I hid it from you
Me: well, you're usually correct but let me see opens this is not spam
Gmail: great! I've now hidden it again by whisking it away to the inbox where you'll have to scroll an unknown amount to find it
Me: argh I was reading that

Anyone know what the image macro template for this meme is called? I couldn't come up with any good search terms

@aburka Maybe "Donnie Darko friends" or "I made a new friend"? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/donnie-darkos-i-made-a-new-friend

This is the Messenger app. So... this was previously a search bar. I used it to get to chats by searching a friend's name or something they said. How do I do that now? Who asked for this? Even if I didn't hate genAI on principle, how is this an upgrade? Honest question.

"average person can count to infinity" factoid actually just statistical error. Cantor Georg is an outlier adn

Hot take: if I can say "they just tested positive" and you don't have to ask "for what?" then the pandemic isn't over.

is voting on two membership applications.

First is (odd to call an "application" because it was already rushed into the foundation before leadership realized how much dissent there was to being associated with AI bullshit). So I know how I'm voting on that one.

The other one is , a (hostile?) fork of Tusky by the developer who loudly quit and accused them of financial mismanagement. As I recall, that turned out to be overblown. Anyone have useful opinions on this one?

hrefna,
@hrefna@hachyderm.io avatar

@aburka yup, that's the sort of thing I'd like to see an incubator process address.

But I don't have a problem with it or any of the sort of existential challenges I did/do with haidra. So while I don't want to just like, turn over the keys and probably would never support it personally, it seems well within Nivenly's mission to support in some capacity.

But my opinion on this is very weak, basically equivalent to "it survives a motion to dismiss and can have more of a chance to make a case"

aburka,
@aburka@hachyderm.io avatar

@hrefna do you know if there's any documentation on what we mean by "incubated" projects? Are they different from Project Members for governance purposes, etc? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

Welp, whatever version of Desktop I had installed on this Mac was no longer able to contact their servers. And the latest doesn't support High Sierra. Of course I can't upgrade because this is an Intel Mac. Time to boot over to Linux I guess.

@skyfaller do you use the new "atomic spins"? I'm trying to figure out what all the hype is about re those

skyfaller,
@skyfaller@jawns.club avatar

@aburka No. I tried Fedora Silverblue but it seemed like a nightmare for a software developer. Running command line tools and modifying my shell environment simply didn't work and I couldn't figure out why. It seemed like it could be good for a non-programmer only using GUI apps.

I'm willing to admit it might be perfectly fine if you know what you're doing, or they may have fixed the problems I encountered by now... Maybe my brain just wasn't big enough. But I wasn't impressed.
