@nprofile…enc3 I'm using ratatui for this, it has a .centered() use case, but it is not great because terminals change sizes, and the math is hard for my not-math inclinded brain

GIMP 4 will come out in 2130. The wait will be worth it. The shape tool will finally be released!

2025-02-14 04:45:46 UTC

I give about 50 bucks a month to FOSS-related projects. But the one I tend to give to the most is Wikipedia. I still think it's one of the best tools ever invented.

Are there any good blogs out there about home lab type stuff.

2024-10-15 17:08:09 UTC

The people in the comments of my last video who told me I am less secure by using Discord in the browser vs the Electron app have no idea how Electron apps work.

r/unixporn is pretty boring when every post is hyprland and waybar.
The good old days when there were 10 different WMs and DEs that people used and posted rices are over, apparently.

@npub1fww…usg3 Thanks. lol

So I tried legitimately to switch to the Zen browser last night, but just couldn't do it. The way they're doing workspaces is just nonsensical. If you open another browser window and go to a workspace you created, none of the tabs that should be there are there. So you can only ever work with one workspace at a time.
I filed a bug report, expecting that it was just a bug, but I was told that's the expected behavior. That's just a silly waste of a feature.

I now have six videos recorded and ready for editing.
Three more today.
On a roll.
Will edit one to post tonight.

@npub1372…950w plus that price. That's horrible

Good day to be a Linux user.

YouTubers confuse the hell out of me. Given that I are one, that says a lot.
Content creators who don't cover politics, decide that they need to add their two cents to the current political atmosphere, and then get all upset when their comment section blows up with people on both sides fighting each other. If you cover tech, cover tech. If you cover sports, cover sports. Stay the fuq out of politics.

I am not going to open up Steam until after the Summer Sale is over. I don't need more games and I know if I see a sale, I'd break my promise not to buy any new games.

Rsync eats RAM for dinner.

@npub1r9e…ks8r I will try to install it with distrobox tomorrow.

I'm going to be mightily upset if Cities Skylines 2 doesn't work on Linux day 1.
I may install Windows.

@npub1p8h…gakf You know IDK if I've ever heard another one of their songs, tbh

2023-09-11 02:03:35 UTC

Why, why, why can't the Giants just be good for one effing game?
Now all we'll hear tomorrow on the sports talk shows is "oh, the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl!"
Bullshit.

New #qtile theme. Some more gruvbox, but this time with some special sauce in the Groupboxb widget. All those colors!

@npub1m26…2jhh @npub1nll…y3zk Yes, something like that. Doesn't look like a great work around though.

2023-08-30 16:35:40 UTC

@npub1nll…y3zk Hey, do you know if there is a way to make the group_labels on the qtile bar different colors separately?
Looking for something like this (the wm in the image is dwm)
