1. RIP Boost for Reddit, time to find a different client 🫡

  2. @chrisbiscardi It is so so good! All the silent GIFs in the newsletters did not prepare me for how incredibly well the sound design goes with the game's beautiful environment.

  3. @triskelion@floss.social oh weird, I haven't had any issues but I've only been using it for the past two weeks or so.

  4. ReadYou might be the best blend of functionality and pleasant UI in an #OpenSource #RSS reader that I've experienced on #Android. The fact that it's built with #JetpackCompose is just icing on the cake

  5. @amanzer yeah I've got an NVIDIA GPU so I've come to expect problems with Wayland frequently.

  6. @amanzer I have similar problems with VS Code as well where the cursor just likes to flicker back and forth between where it should be and where it was a few seconds ago. I would not be surprised if it was some pathological combination of NixOS and GNOME to blame but I can't bring myself to endure the misery of potentially debugging this.

  7. I've been doing daily journals in #Logseq for about a month now and I'm realising now that despite being on both my PC OSes, I only ever write on mobile.

    Whenever I'm on Windows I'm only there to play games where not much worth writing happens.

    On Linux the brokenness of Electron on Wayland makes the app just annoying enough to be unappealing.

    The phone is just always around, and I have "checkpoint" reminders so I can take a quick minute to jot down things at specific times in the day.

  8. @jsparber Looking terrific!

  9. Kinda sad how often Telegram is asking me to gift a friend Telegram Premium for their birthday, I expected better privacy hygiene from my peers lol

  10. @triskelion@floss.social Android devs are the most visible users of Kotlin but it actually has a flourishing server side userbase.

    FWIW Google does have a seat on the Kotlin foundation, but JetBrains drives the roadmap entirely.

  11. @delroth oh I can feel the pain already, I gave up on trying to put it on an S3-compatible storage and went with good ol' attic and local disk instead.

  12. Content warning: Rash driving, death

    x.com/nedwize/status/179222461

    The son of a rich businessman gets away with underage driving and MURDER with the only punishment being an internship and an essay. This country is so fucked it is beyond comprehension.

  13. Hooked up #Grafana and #Prometheus to my #Miniflux instance for the world's most over-engineered habit tracker.

    Turns out I mostly read in 3 hotspots of morning when I start up my PC, during the evening after working out and late at night when I'm avoiding sleep for no good reason 😬

    Grafana chart of unread posts in my RSS reader over the past week, polled every hour.
  14. @cadey given their consistent incompetency I am assuming the redirect will die in about 10 days time and it'll break all the currently-functional-but-unmaintained Twitter apps. I think browser extensions might just be fully dead until they're updated.

  15. Possible dum-dum question: are there any #terminal-based editors around for Linux that support LSP but aren't modal? I've half heartedly tried getting used to Helix or #Neovim but I just don't think the core idea of modal editing works for my head.

  16. Rediscovered ISO standards are not freely accessible and I'm going to bed mad.

  17. @ybinnenweg Do you have a link for it? All my searches are revealing an abandoned project.

  18. @ybinnenweg I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

  19. The #YouTube app randomly decided to start crashing on launch for me today, which made me finally pull the trigger on migrating to #NewPipe. So far the experience is a major upgrade from YouTube: I no longer need to increase the quality for each video and I have no Shorts to distract me. I should've done this so long ago...

  20. Bhavish Aggarwal of Ola Cabs has started a boycott #Azure campaign over on Twitter due to Microsoft's LLM answering a question about who he is with an non-gendered "they", which according to him is "imposing a political ideology on Indian users that's unsafe, sinister".

    Of all the reasons to not use #Azure, this clown found the stupidest one.

  21. @ybinnenweg yep, it's 180Hz capable

  22. @funkyidol I use the PC for gaming pretty frequently so I think I'm fine with 1440p for a while, 4K gaming on PC doesn't seem very feasible atm.

  23. Upgrading from a 22" 1080p display to 27" 1440p is opening up entirely too many previously-infeasible avenues for me in terms of how I use my computer

  24. @QuietMisdreavus yeah it's quite frustrating, thankfully GitHub allows you to bulk disable dependabot for all repos which works out for me since I don't use it even in my active projects.

  25. @triskelion@floss.social that'd be great, thank you!

  26. Is #Feedly's "Explore" section my best bet if I'm looking to curate a collection of #RSS feeds? I'm looking to explore my morning reading to incorporate more #gaming and #science related publications.

  27. @datarama Whatever I can't host at home, I have on a netcup.de server.

  28. Started journaling 4 days ago using #Logseq after asking around for options (androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/1) and I can already see this becoming a very useful tool. I've often wanted to have a #TIL style thing going and Logseq eliminates a lot of the friction around the act of writing stuff down.

    It was pretty easy to get two-way sync going via Git between my phone and PC so I always have access to a scratchpad for thoughts I might wanna revisit.

  29. Waking up with debilitating dizziness followed by throwing up mostly water has to be the most extreme version of the Monday blues till date.

  30. Shoutout to #netcup my GOAT for having VNC support that does not depend on the system OS, which means I can actually control the server's bootloader and boot into an older generation when I hit a bad stage in the bisect.

  31. @hasnep SSH stops working on my server after upgrading, so I'm bisecting the 3k or so commits between flake.lock updates to find the culprit.

  32. Did not expect my Sunday to be spent bisecting a regression in nixpkgs but here we are.

  33. #Netlify's Hosted DNS service is apparently under maintenance which is fully preventing edits since at least 3 hours ago and they have not yet had the courtesy to put it up on their status page. Maybe this is the final straw to cut over to #Porkbun for DNS since I already use them as my registrar.

  34. May the Fourth Be With You! #StarWars

  35. @spinningthoughts thank you, that's excellent information! Based on this it looks like Logseq might be what I'm looking for, so I'll get started with it in the morning.

  36. @nickanderson @dhry I'm not smart enough for Emacs

  37. @dhry I kind of welcome it, I'm really trying to learn here. Org Mode is for nerds running on a level far above myself so that's not going to be in the running, but I'm open to be convinced to use basically anything as of now.

  38. This year I wanna get into doing diligent note-taking: #Obsidian vs #Logseq, which is the better option? Or something else entirely? My only real requirements are having a Linux app and an Android one being a nice-to-have.

  39. @nat418 @jakehamilton I've already seen jonringer and sridca do that shit on both Reddit and Hacker News but the official forum should still have more proactive moderation, regardless of which troll farm is sending the sealions in.

  40. @jakehamilton you could tell me this is Hacker News and I would believe you. I don't think that's a good thing...

  41. @ianlake in my existing navigation code I was doing a bunch of naive checks like these to figure out if the top backstack entry was one of a list of options or matched a specific destination stored in a variable elsewhere, with the type-safe version is there a recommended way to do these kinds of things?

  42. @Sh41 yeah even with the massive login rewards ongoing right now I find it a chore to wait a whole minute for the game to launch on a Pixel 8, they've got to be doing something very wrong to make a Unity game this bad.
