    And I just came back from Seoul where Gemini suggested local clothing labels I would have never found if I hadn't told Gemini what brands I liked already and to find similar ones. …

    Are you telling me that spending time writing an app to learn the guitar neck isn't the best way?? Blasphemy, I tell you! Anyway here is my app of shame: https://kelvie.github.io/c…

    One of the reasons I switched to arch from debian based distros was precisely how much faster pacman was compared to APT -- system updates shouldn't take over half an hour when I h…

    It's really jittery for me and freezes fairly often on my work macbook. I even have a Sol script to restart hammerspoon. Still wouldn't work without it though (I run Niri at home)

    Of note is theother terrible heuristic I've seen thrown around, where "emojis = AI", and now the "if you use not X, but Y = AI".

    gpt-oss-120b doesn't fit on a 5090 without offloading or crazy quants -- or did you mean you ran it via openrouter or something?

    I've been using labelle (on github) with my Dymo labelmaker on Linux and it's been great.

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20231114022503.6310-1-kelvi... I authored a patch (I still use it to this day, and I think others do too) that allows this, and sent it to the LKML…

    Don't y'all have a #emacs slack channel or equivalent at your company? I work for a medium-sized tech company and we have a single digit amount of emacs users I feel like. The chan…

    Could media player actually just play midi dumps like this back in the day? I've been on Linux for so long now, that being able to just play a MIDI file without making a bunch of d…

    This is how I use my Framework laptop around 80% of the time. So much so that I wish I could just detach the screen (and re-attach it easily). I have the xreal air 1, and have the …

    I've use it daily since the whole hyprland toxicity thing. It works amazing for my workflow, but there are a ton of wrinkles if you stray off the happy path, but it works great (fo…

    Thanks, I was also wondering! I wonder what it would take (politically) to get Konsole to support this (kind of afraid to just file the bug and find out!)

    I also started using uv -- it is fantastic in so many ways, and "uv tool" is certainly one of them. For this particular use case, you can use `uvx`, which is a shorthand for `uv to…

    Do you mean why a UPS beeps when it's disconnected from power? I imagine so the user knows it's disconnected. Annoying during a power outage though.

    Depends on how you do your coding, and your expectations. The glasses claim a 1080p screen, but realistically with text, you gotta scale it up to be more like a 720p screen. If 128…

    You'd need a battery with UPS-like functionality (and doesn't beep when it's taken off power), otherwise every time you plug and unplug it your mac would restart. Which is surprisi…

    The Games Awards claims to have 118 million livestreams [1], and went off without a hitch. I watched it for the game trailers, actually shocked that it's also superbowl viewership …

    Looks like Konsole doesn't support this (just switched from Kitty on KDE, because on wayland, Qt apps survive a compositor restart!), but there has been a request since 2022: https…

    Would a SWE union push for work from home? I don't know how software unions have fared in the wild so far, or even any other type of engineers union in terms of work-from-home.

    Tangentially related, I've always wondered why there aren't better frameworks for creating userscripts. I like customizing websites for various things, but it would be nice if I ha…
