Look at how many actual projects are using dioxus vs leptos. I believe some. Of the projects listed on the dioxis website are no longer maintained.

GitHub stars can be bought very easily.

The only annoyance is that after an update by bluetooth controller gets disconnected.

I hope Nokia

Thank you for the recommendation. I have been wanting to try out the FUTO apps (which grayjay) for a while but couldn’t find it on f-droid. It looks like they have their own repo which you need to add.

Just got grayjay downloaded and it is so good!

Another reason no one else has mentioned yet is that countries want to have control over their own power generation. If you’re power is all generated in another country then it can potentially be turned off by another country.

Before the recs I just want to shout out libro.FM - they sell audiobooks and donate half of the profits to independent book stores.

Classic sci fi:

• The dispossessed - also the left hand of darkness (which is meant to be good buy Inhavent read)
• Foundation series
• permutation city

I think the more modern sci fi is good too so I will give you some recommendations anyway:

• Project Hail Mary - mentioned by other commenters, really good
• Children of time - first and best of a series, really good
• Expanse - series of books set in the near future, hard sci fi and a bit of space opera
• Red rising - a space opera a bit like a fantasy book in a sci fi setting
• Murderbot - series with a bit more more comed, very entertaining and easy to get into

From what I remember they were using GNOME for pop os with some custom addons they had made (for example a tiling addon). GNOME updates will sometimes break addons and I think the pop os people got tired of this.

I actually really liked the addon as it would help you have a workflow closer to a tiling window manager.

So they are creating a DE with the features they think are important (tiling, performance, others) in mind from the start. I like the idea of this as I don’t want to commit to installing 100’s of tools for a tiling window manager like hyprland but I do want the benefits of tiling.

Also it’s written in rust which implies performance and security.

sailfish?

Agreed, but it does mean the evidence at her trial was not stall sufficient to prove guilt (beyond reasonable doubt).

New LTT Framework video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lErGZZgUbY

nope, your right, I was mistaken

• Framework 13 AMD upgrades
• Framework mini desktop announced - up to 128GB capable of running 70b lamma3.3
• Framework laptop 12 announced - a touchscreen convertible laptop

Ahhh nice, I have thought about trying out Kakoune as it supports plugins. Do you use many plugins/find them useful?

Helix does have a pipe command also.

Yeah I agree, I like that aspect too!

I use Helix

TLDR: Yes I think helix is worth trying out. It has some missing features but it is an amazing piece of software.

Yes I use helix daily. It is very fun to use and you can do many things faster. It is particularly good when navigating a (large) codebase you know fairly well. You are able to jump around and find/edit relevant code very quickly.

Compared to vs code:

• it is much faster and more minimal
• It might be harder to get things up and running than in vs code, e.g. to get auto-completion working in helix you need to have the LSP for that language installed. It can be a bit confusing if you have never done it before but it is easy once you have done it a few times.

Compared to neovim I think it is:

• easier to learn
• slightly faster - especially with large files
• you will have a much smaller/simpler configuration. AFAIK Helix has more features working out of the box than neovim (file picker, lsp support ect) and needs less configuration to get things to a workable state.

The downside of helix compared to both neovim and vscode is that it does not have plugin support yet so you will need to use other tools in combination with it to get an equivalent experience. Here are some tools that are commonly used with helix:

• yazi - terminal file manager
• gitui or lazygit - terminal git user interface
• zellij - terminal pane manager

Helix really shines when:

• performance matters - I have edited files with millions of lines and had no trouble on codebases where my colleagues IDE’s become very slow.
• You want to use multiple cursors at times
• You want a simple or no configuration
• It is taking too long to learn the vim keybindings - vim keybindings are more concise but less intuitive and harder to learn

I recommend you use the tutor (hx --tutor) for a few minutes each day to learn the keybidings.

Another day older and more tech debt

sure, done

I have run Fedora and NixOS on my framework. Both run well, Fedora is equal/close equal to Ubuntu in ease of use.

https://snowflakeos.org/ - this project is focused on building an easier version of nixos including a GUI software store based on gnome software.

edit:ooops I meant to respond to @[email protected] here

anything I tried getting from their repos was always way further behind the mac OS homebrew or Debian apt versions.

Nixpkgs are the most up to date of any package respiratory source

It is likely that you were using the current ‘stable’ channel that does not have the very latest packages. The ‘unstable’ channel does have the very latest packages and is what I think most people use.

nixOS is really slick in concept, but has a steep learning curve to get it properly customized as a daily driver. The learned skills don’t really translate outside the nix realm either, so I decided it was too much effort for my use case. I love this concept as a way to build reproducable servers or workstations tho, so I’ll def be playing with it again.

I totally agree, I wish it was easier to learn.
