Think you got downvoted by a butthurt hexbear there lol

flashgnash ,

Definitely look at tofi as well, it’s like rofi but it’s almost instant to launch

flashgnash ,

Made the mistake of using react for a mobile app and my god why is it this convoluted, why are the error messages always along the lines of “something went wrong with networking 🤷”

Unfortunately I’m stuck with it now

flashgnash ,

I like base JS and I like jQuery. Only reason I’m using React is for native cross platform mobile/web but I’m beginning to regret choosing it for that

flashgnash ,

Yes I mean react native

Wouldn’t be bothering with it if I were just working with web

flashgnash ,

I am spoiled by dotnet and rust error messages. They tell you exactly what the problem is, where it is, and in rust’s case sometimes even how to fix it

Then there’s C with “segmentation fault”

flashgnash ,

I do not code in C it was just a throwaway meme lol

flashgnash ,

Honestly doing it again I’d just write in xamarin or something not web orientated because as it turns out the web app is going to need to be separate anyway

I might look into capacitor but is that not basically just electron?

flashgnash ,

Definitely need to look into this for future, would make dev so much easier to just write for web and not have to deal with react native’s bullshit

flashgnash ,

Had a look at it, looked worse than react

flashgnash ,

Do android stans exist? Had always thought android was the lesser of two evils for most people

flashgnash ,

I used to be one of those fanboys when I was younger, but that was driven more by the fact that they weren’t iPhones than anything particularly good about Android

Used to be a fan of OnePlus but they’ve become like every other phone company now from what I hear

flashgnash ,

Weird, I’ve been using hyprland on multi monitor for a while

Only issue I’ve ever noticed is that some games will insist on running on my second monitor for some reason and will stay locked at at 1080p when moved to the higher res one

flashgnash ,

Barrier

I miss being able to just use one mouse and keyboard for everything

flashgnash ,

I’m not sure as to how long ago you did this but it moves workspaces dynamically now when you unplug/replug monitors

I used to do this quite frequently, disabling laptop screen when plugged into monitors

That said it still has a stroke from time to time just not always

flashgnash ,

Ah right, probably not a new thing then

Switching monitor setups has seemed pretty unstable in hyprland to me but I assumed that was more to do with Nvidia than anything

flashgnash ,

Ah I see, might give this a go. For now I’ve just not got it plugged in

flashgnash ,

A creature of satanic raaaage 🎶

Who is Raymond? Never heard the name

flashgnash ,

Alright Frankenstein

flashgnash ,

What did you get banned for?

flashgnash ,

I’ve heard fastfetch is a lot better but I tend to have neofetch installed anyway because it’s the known one

flashgnash , (edited )

Gaming was absolutely the only reason I didn’t switch permanently

Switched all my machines over to Linux within a month or so of getting my steam deck and see no reason to go back

Can’t imagine I’m the only one who was waiting for this, though that said I am fairly technical, I don’t think most non technical people will see enough of a reason to switch

flashgnash , (edited )

Nvidia has caused me much suffering in both of my machines, only recently fixed hibernation killing the DE, latest driver version at the moment for many GPUs causes horrible stuttering in games

Most web games absolutely suck, think webgl isn’t working

This is all on wayland though because I’m hopelessly addicted to hyprland

flashgnash ,

YouTube music in Firefox in a special workspace

I’d love a CLI on it but there don’t seem to be any good enough to beat the UX

Can be themed with Stylus

flashgnash ,

I don’t think those people are trying to tell you that they don’t like what he stands for though

In Buddhist view: If all misfortune/suffering is deserved due to bad karma of past actions in a prior life, why advocate ahimsa/nonviolence?

A Buddhist was saying to me that anything bad that happens to someone is deserved because they must have had bad karma as a result of having done something bad, either in this life or a previous incarnation. I don’t believe in any of this personally, but I think it would be helpful to understand the idea of karma a bit better,...

flashgnash ,

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Buddhism, is in fact, GNU/Buddhism

flashgnash ,

I got excited for monke video :(

Why is folder sharing between host and guest in KVM so hard?

I’m having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can’t get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing...

flashgnash ,

I had thought spice was supposed to be really good for VMs, it’s it just over hyped?

A helpful graphic about writing alt text (lemmy.ml)

image descriptionAn infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including “identify who”, “expression”, “description”, “colour”, and “interesting features”. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa....

flashgnash ,

Is this not the kind of thing machine vision/language models would be really good at?

flashgnash ,

We’ll get to the bottom of this damnit even if it takes a hundred meetings!

Someone left a 4 inch rock rock with a line circle carved in it in the dirt next to my door

What do you guys think was the intention with this? I recently had an episode of mania, and was behaving a bit oddly, but I confirmed with my mother (this was her condo I’m renting it) that it wasn’t here when she left and I’ve never seen it before :|

flashgnash ,

Seems like op is trying to do that by sanity checkinh with others though, think that’s a good idea

flashgnash OP ,

I think I’m using pipewire anyway, how are you thinking?

flashgnash OP ,

I’m using pulse, had thought pipewire ran alongside it but I suppose that’s wrong. Will have a look anyway though

flashgnash OP ,

Last release being 2 years ago is a bit of a red flag for me, and being able to play funny sounds in voice chats is not worth a potential security issue

flashgnash OP ,

I don’t have the expertise to spot if someone’s able to pull some dark wizard shit and encode a binary in audio and get it to execute it or something

Seriously though I know enough to know I won’t spot some obscure bad practice in someone else’s code base, even without network access if someone gets onto my system some other way it could give them a route to escalate

flashgnash OP ,

Oh I have no doubt it’s legitimate, my concern is just that it’s unmaintained

flashgnash OP ,

Oooh fantastic thank you

flashgnash OP ,

I’m not that anal about my security but it’s a very trivial thing and if I ended up getting any of my network compromised to make a soundboard there are several people in my life who would shoot me

flashgnash OP ,

Understood most of the words in that comment individually

What does PW stand for?

flashgnash OP ,

Ah fantastic, will have a look at this properly tomorrow

Turns out I am using pipewire with the pulse module so this should work

flashgnash ,

I’m not suggesting changing human nature would be anything but a terrible, dystopian idea, just that it’s the only way to solve certain problems

The real solution is just to live with the flaws and try minimise the damage

flashgnash ,

Source goes in ~/Source and gets checked into git, important stuff goes into ~/Documents and (when I get around to setting it up) gets backed up somewhere, downloads go into ~/Downloads

Otherwise, stuff gets dumped in home and I use fzf, grep and jump to get around quickly

Whole system gets wiped and rebuilt when it gets to cluttered, anything I care about persisting is kept somewhere else and nixos puts my system back

I think organising more than the bare minimum is a constant waste of time when search tools exist

flashgnash ,

I wish I had not read your username

flashgnash ,

Reckon this could be done on nix/other distros?

flashgnash ,

All well and good but at the higher end they’re writing applications in JavaScript and electron and using many times more system resources than C or rust, and it will always be cheaper for them to develop in higher level languages (especially when the performance problem can be offloaded on the user’s machine instead of their own servers)

flashgnash ,

It’s not laziness it’s economics.

It’s cheaper for companies to have their developers spend less time developing in higher level languages and just throw more hardware at the problem than spend more money developing in a more difficult language

They aren’t concerned with energy or material efficiency, only financial
