Haven’t used the original but I do enjoy letting pipes-rs run on idle terminals.

I do use helix but haven’t taken advantage of the git integration. Maybe I’m unaware of its power. For fish, I defined my own fish_prompt function with an indicator if there are uncommitted changes. It’s just running git status under the hood. I have a TODO in that function to run a pijul diff in the directory if git status returns nothing…

The 1.0 is in beta. There has been a lot of refactoring to get it to this point. I would say there’s still many quality-of-life features missing that would stop me from using it in a professional setting but for hobby projects it’s meeting my needs (and gets better with each new beta build). They only have a few project backers but the main developer has been working very steadily on it.

This is actually why I prefer using pijul. I don’t want to commit my secrets to a git repo and nix will refuse to build because I’m pulling in files that aren’t tracked. Simple solution is to not make the flake directory a git repo and it won’t complain. That’s my solution at least. I also prefer using git (and therefore pijul) via cli rather than as a text editor integration so my experience differs.

I use it for self hosting because all I need installed is sshd and the pijul package. Then I can set my server’s ;p as my remote. The “nest” web UI (the Pijul equvivalent to git tea) is in development and not open source yet, but you can use the hosted version at https://nest.pijul.com/ if you’re curious.

But it’s Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

I used both for years but always preferred weechat with the nicklist enabled and at the top, so that it didn’t break urls or selecting multi-line text. Although the nicklist feature is moot for huge irc channels the ui and user experience is overall better with weechat in my opinion.

I like deadbeef because it reminds me of the foobar2k days. Very simple interface but behind the context menu is hidden tagging, replaygain editing, a robust plugin system, and all the more advanced features I need to keep my collection well groomed.

Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. “That ladder is 13 feet tall” vs “That is a 13-foot tall ladder”.

Most people here (who didn’t grow up in the US 50+ years ago) wouldn’t give negative connotations to the software’s name. I’m on the side that it is well divorced of an ableist meaning but that’s where the disagreement lies and some people are making a big fuss over.

Should we stop using words like taser and amok as well for having historically racist associations despite being divorces of those meaning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift_and_His_Electric_Rifle

Our language is littered with more “land mines” that we realize if we want to make land mines out of them.

Do you have evidence of that? That’s not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it

I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?

With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.

For some reason I first read the title as “journalists take to archiving their own hands” and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.

Very cool! I like how changing either variable gives you a completely different pattern. Though not the same idea here’s another fun one: https://codepen.io/josetxu/pen/mdoaKEr

1996 was the beginning of the chaos. We went from a document that the user’s browser parsed and styled to a free-for-all of website designs glued together on construction paper. Accessibility took a step back. You now needed a graphical desktop to view the web. Page content was no longer machine readable and became less portable. Now in a world of dynamic page content generated by javascript you need a v8 browser in crawlers just to index page content.

Industry is like a triangle and if you move towards one corner you have to move away from another:

      cost-effective
         /\
ethical /__\ green

Just type npm run and that lists out the script commands available.

Java and JavaScript are like car and carpet because despite the beginning of the names matching they serve different purposes. In the early web days Java applets were a thing and it failed which is why a new language was needed. It’s not a secret that there was pressure to make Javascript look like Java, that’s just not the point of the figure of speech.

I popped the keys off my Topre with a keycap puller and rearranged them. Both the Backspace and Caps Lock function as a backspace, but I couldn’t find a keycap labeled “Backspace” that physically fit in the Caps Lock key’s place so that particular label is deceiving.
