Mastodon Feed
Mastodon FeedI'm not supposed to be faster than a computer at like manipulating a GUI, but on my work laptop with Windows, I am.
If I start a program and start typing, I'm just typing into the void.
Many many operations are like that, having to wait for a while before continuing.
So trying to get it to work well with keyboard-only is kind of futile, since I can't keyboard away at my own pace like I'm used to.
I'm not even a fast keyboardist!
Mastodon FeedShould have taken more clothes for the bike commute.

Mastodon FeedNow it told me it installed some software I never asked for? Mediamotortillägg för Foton. Okay.
Mastodon FeedIs it safe to dual-boot alongside windows 10? I have some vague recollection of horror stories.

Mastodon FeedStarted reading ‘Worm’ last night.
I am incredibly disappointed in all of you for the amount of hype this story has.
Then again, I had just finished ‘A Night in the Lonesome October’, hard to follow a Zelazny.
I’ll read a little more but I can see why it remains unpublished.

Threads, mutexes, all that stuff. It was fun :-) Now I just need to find time to make it into a proper crate…

idk about you but if you sell me a computer with a processor whose documentation I can't read on a board whose schematics I can't buy and which I can't repair, which is only designed to run software I can't audit or change
in what sense do I actually own that computer?

Mastodon FeedHow long before they are targeted ads? :)
Mastodon Feed*Watches VC-funded product that was never going to have ads and would always be free grow ads and paid features*
Who could have foreseen this.
Now the promises have shifted a bit, certain parts of the product will never have ads, and certain parts of it will remain free.

"standardized", "progress", "modern", and "revolutionize"
These words are used to imply something is good or an improvement, but when I dig deeper I often find more accurate word choices would be:
standardized => monopoly defined
progress => rapid change of some sort
modern => today's fashion
revolutionize => manipulate, influence, control, or disrupt
[Cue old man shaking fist and yelling at cloud]
Mastodon FeedWhat if fontconfig could specify your preferred font size, so that you don't have to change it in several places.
Electron apps would continue to not care about such things but for most things it could work.
Mastodon FeedIt can display regular webpages at least, without using a thousand RAMz.
That title and status text are very small though.

Mastodon FeedRiver doesn't seem so different from Sway at first try.
But it's Zig instead of C so it would be more fun to help out on river.
Mastodon FeedI like the idea of visurf (keyboard-driven frontend for Netsurf) since I use native appz for things that are appz and for reading some text I don't really need a second OS on top of the one I already have.
It has some ways to go though. :)
