Just in case you thought about using Suckless/dwm: They’re doing literal torch hikes through southern Germany at their conferences, fighting online against "cultural marxism", and their mail server has the hostname "Wolfsschanze" (see: https://twitter.com/pid_eins/status/1113738766471057408 ) Source: https://twitter.com/kuschku/status/1156488420413362177

From linked page:

"This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions."

From Wikipedia's definition of Eugenics:

"Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior."

Please check out DWM flexipatch for a painless way to try out patches and get your setup right!

You can turn patches on and off at will, without having to mess with diffs. Once you get it right you can finalize your config with a separate script. It is like magic. There are also flexipatch repos for st and dmenu

This is something I have come to realize I unconsciously have gotten very dependent on - MacOS let's you swap virtual desktops for the monitor you are currently focused on without swapping any of the others. I never realized how intuitive this is until switching back to my XFCE linux installation and getting very frustrated with virtual desktops entirely. I might have to give dwm a try again on my linux machine if it…

My first real job back in 2013 gave all of the devs macbooks to work on. I never used it specifically because osx couldn't do this. Even now, they still don't get it right and treat each monitor as its own set of desktops.

Go into System Preferences, Mission Control, and uncheck “Displays have separate spaces”.

It's interesting to see where support for certain ideologies intersect. Suckless philosophy seems to be rooted in a disgust for "complex, error-prone and slow software", and they seem to have conservative tendencies towards new software tools/practices. Applying those ideas to multiculturalism could land you pretty near Nazism.

What's interesting is I was actually drawn to suckless several years ago, and used dwm for a while. At the time, my work had me maintaining a disturbingly bug-ridden codebase, and it gave me a visceral disgust for bad code. Suckless was really compelling. They seemed to hate all the things I hated, and promised a solution.

Eventually I changed jobs, grew out of it, and found more interesting solutions. Oh well, at least it wasn't a bout of National Socialism.

what else to expect from a "KDE developer. Qt/QML and full stack developer. Work at Nextcloud. Opinion are my own."

Don't forget the time they waded into the Debian mailing list to argue "maybe Hitler wasn't actually bad"

And don't forget to check for recurring libel motives: systemd proponents, KDE-developers or lbgt extraverts like the "lady" with the torch light story. You can tell which way the wind is blowing.

I read the whole post and might have missed the part you are referencing here- can you provide a direct quote?

They definitely did not. OS X has the same issue as a lot of other VMs. You can not simply have a single pool of workspaces and chose to view any N of them, where N is the number of monitors that you have. In OS X you can have workspaces on your left monitor, and workspaces on your right monitor, but you can't easily share the workspaces between the monitors without re-arranging them. The only WM I have used that get…

You can drag a workspace from one monitor to another in native Mac OS. With yabai you can hotkey it to send to a different one.

Not the same at all, really.

Oh if they fixed it that's great! I've got no reason to use it now, but maybe if I had another job like that one it would have been less frustrating.
