Very interesting to read this. I've never had breakage, but now I'm questioning whether this is the exception, not the rule. On ubuntu, every new version broke something, sometimes…

Forgot to mention Nvidia CUDA is now a first-class citizen. Nix becomes a support target for Nvidia. How times have changed, thanks to Google scaring the bejezus of Nvidia by runni…

The only linux distro where I've never experienced disruption whatsoever when a new version comes in. A testament to the validity of the approach they are using (immutability). The…

It's not the case anymore. HN is not reflecting it, but HarmonyOS is very much a 3rd option. Huawei got banned from using Android, and they decided to start a mobile OS from scratc…

How is this different from taskwarrior? I feel the use cases are overlapping (which is a good thing as taskwarrior rewrite in rust is a mess)

I moved to nix around Nov last year and couldn't be happier, the motto 'nix fixes that' is true. First time I can say linux is trouble free. Upgrades are painless. Dev environments…

I don't want my content to be harvested by LLMs; They are removing attribution, among other things. Otherwise, I'd like to stick as close as possible to the open source licenses (s…

This is because GTK is C, not C++. It's much easier to write bindings from C

I had a simillar take until I found keyd: https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd

Thanks! For me, that simplicity gives me security. The browser is extremely insecure in 2024. And most of the things I want from a browser are just content, not sophisticated SPAs.…

Gemini is a new protocol, which acts as a replacement for HTTP. Its accompanying markup language, Gemtext, is an extremely stripped down version of markdown and acts as a replaceme…

After updating chrome (on ubuntu, installed through the google .deb file), several extensions stopped to work. Example: - Autoscroll https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/autosc…
