I was able to go zero to Nix in probably 6-10 hours, and could’ve done it sooner if I’d known about this sooner (and I’m not a super technical person).
I think it’s also worth pointing out the social factor in pen/paper notes as well—jotting things down on a notepad seems a lot more attentive than typing into your phone.
I’m currently writing a report in using Overleaf. As I’m getting the premium version for free through my Uni, I’ve had no problems so far. Now I’m working in a place with unstable internet and using Overleaf has become very annoying....
Out of curiosity, what program are you using to write? I think I saw they have a web editor, but I there’s a neovim plugin (and maybe an LSP) as well I think.
My main problem is screen tearing (my display refresh seems to be 59.999, and I notice this when moving windows around or watching 60 FPS video or even just scrolling PDFs)—is that something Wayland would even help at all? Am I just wasting my time here?
I think it’s possible to remap Helix to be almost (if not completely) Vim-like. I got it to be (I think completely) Kakoune-like with like 15 lines in my config.
Wow! Finally a niri user out in the wild! I’m super curious to hear about your experiences with it—do you find it to be stable enough for day to day use? What’s your workflow like? How’s it compare to what you’ve used before?
I’d personally be curious, though, to experiment with non-standard input and UI designs on these phones. Although the touchscreen model has become standard, I’m not sure it’s ultimately the best for all things—I’ve been deeply enjoying my Garmin watch, for example, which has four buttons rather than a touchscreen. I think buttons, dials, etc., (besides simply feeling good to use) are faster for some things. If we’re gonna go against the grain, why not go crazy? I think physical buttons (or at least stuff like the back button on Android) may be to touchscreen interfaces what keyboard-centric workflows are to the mouse and GUI (in terms of efficiency).
Is it possible to mount a Nextcloud folder into the filesystem within the nix config that other services can use it? For example have a jellyfin server use the a family shared nextcloud folder
The best way to understand really is to install both and try yourself, but basically I would say Kakoune is more “radical” than Helix, which feels more like Vim. Both move the selection in normal mode, but Helix has you extend it using what’s basically visual mode, whereas Kakoune cuts out visual mode altogether and has you hold Shift. As you can see in the config, reconfiguring what Shift does causes issues with normal Vim bindings (like joining selections with J), so Kakoune solves this with Alt.
After using it for a few days, it made a lot of sense to my brain—I would say, in general, Kakoune feels enormously well thought-out and carefully considered in every element of its design.
Fellas, I’m at my wit’s end with this one. I’m trying to set a general rule for window opacity in sway, and then have a few programs excepted from it....
I guess I should have written the post a bit more clearly. I’ve got the for_window part, it’s just that after I set the opacity for all windows app_id=.*, the following lines of the config cannot override that for the specific windows I want different opacities for.
The Yippies were a counter-cultural group from the US-Vietnam war era, and were famously prosecuted by the state as part of the Chicago Seven after experiencing a police riot during the protest against the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Catchy manifesto, perhaps, but the Yippies historically (to the extent there even was such a group) were the absolute pinnacle of spectacle for its own sake. They got nothing done, and ultimately served only to hurt the public image of the legitimate countercultural movements in the long term. I think it seriously goes against the more pragmatic and action-oriented outlook of Solarpunk to take cues from these guys.
