Question for #Linux users: does anyone use a GUI #Spotify client other than the official one? I know ncspot is pretty solid on the terminal but I'd much rather have a GUI if I can help it.

@heyheymomo I can't tell if this is supposed to be socks (misspelling), stocks (finance) or stocks (cooking) because all sound good to me :thisIsFine:

@kiranrao this is the secret to how Apple has a higher floor for app quality, only people with infinite determination can endure this IDE long enough to finish a project.

I added a memory indicator to my GNOME top-bar-thingy and watching it fall of a cliff every time I close #AndroidStudio or #Minecraft just tickles my brain

@megalodon less code to maintain downstream :copium:

@nileane good luck! make sure to keep mob sounds enabled, I fell for the classic blunder in my very first run :blobFacePalm:

@nileane lovely to see a fellow #Hermitcraft fan in the wild! I ran Decked Out and hundreds of hours of watching do not do justice to the actual experience :D

Fat shaming #captcha is new.

Thanks hCaptcha

@jscarrott precisely, this kind of behavior is just unacceptable when the cli team is very clearly invested in solving the problem.

We need a ban on the word "enshittify" because #Linux users will apparently use that for literally anything at this point

Sent in a small patch to Nixpkgs to fix some library loading problems in glfw but thankfully Nix itself is good enough for me to not have to wait for the merge before I can use it for my machines.

@IslandUsurper I've used Vultr in the past and they were okay but I feel basically everyone else gives you more bang for the buck on the low end front, I ended up going with netcup.de on someone else's suggestion in the replies and they seem to be quite solid so far.

@kueckieben netcup were being pretty lovely to get set up with but the NixOS image I created using my Flakes configuration and https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators didn't end up booting, so that's some debugging for me to do tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: nevermind I completely forgot the netcup server I chose is arm64 and tried to boot an x86_64 image on it 😬

@EdyBolos things seem fine for me on both Linux and macOS, maybe it's a misbehaving plugin?

I've been having a fairly subpar experience with running @nixos_org on Digital Ocean and/or Oracle Cloud, do people have any recommendations for VPS providers that they know work well with #NixOS and won't immediately ban my account for the crime of living in India (looking at you Hetzner and Scaleway)?

Installed #NixOS on Sunday and I'm already up to 61 generations because of how often I was fucking things up lolrip :blobF:

```
nixos-rebuild --fast list-generations --json | jq .[0].generation
61
```

@afzal that makes sense, I'll give it a honest go for the next few days and see how I fare. Thanks!

I got my exercise consistency going basically by gamifying it so I guess I just haven't found something that'll reward me for sleeping at a normal hour with trivial affirmation

I set my phone's bedtime mode to automatically come on at a fairly absurd 1AM and yet I still find myself manually disabling it each time. Feels like there's no possibility of me ever fixing my sleep schedule.

@Gankra I briefly had the misfortune of being in charge of some TypeScript and I think it was somehow the worst IDE experience I've had while somehow having the most "blessed" components involved.

ESLint ALWAYS wants to be screaming at you inside VSCode, and the VSCode TypeScript plugin actually doesn't even use the version of TypeScript your project is using** so a bunch of things in your tsconfig file will silently not work as intended.

(**): by default, you can change it.

Minor #AndroidDev achievement: have AOSP regress core functionality in your app https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/301862978

Running proper #NixOS on my daily driver is exposing me to entirely too many niceties that I had just not bothered looking for when my setup was Nix on $DISTRO. Installing Gradle with toolchains preconfigured is just so simple:

@AngryAnt Don't really see the point of Flatpak when everything I want is already packaged in Nixpkgs.

@mhwombat I didn't find anything in the issue tracker but some google-fu turned up a workaround.

The problem ended up being incompatibility of GLFW with Wayland which needed a patched version that a fellow Minecrafter had already committed into nixpkgs so it ended up being a fairly simple fix, albeit one that was not obvious in the slightest :/

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/commit/33e65873dbc5

@fourlastor Seems like someone already did it, and it does fix the problem! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243950

@fourlastor I tried using glfw-wayland but unfortunately Minecraft depends on a pre-release version of glfw and the APIs introduced there (that Minecraft is using) do not exist in any stable releases as of now. I'm working to get a glfw-wayland-git kind of package going for myself to see if that helps.

I'm inclined to believe this is an incompatibility between my presumably Wayland-using GNOME DE and my NVIDIA GPU but there doesn't seem to be an obvious solution.

Was planning to stick with #NixOS for good but I'm having trouble getting #Minecraft to run correctly and that is a very strong dealbreaker. Gonna poke at it for a bit and if I can't fix it, off to Linux Mint I go again.

Found a workaround: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/111601188229840448

@sen If only!

Using GNOME did the job, still missing a bunch of my stuff but overall quite satisfied so far. Will continue iterating over the next few days to get it to a more functional state.

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/commit/0924ddaa5c4efcde8f2d910975dbec07bb54f5d5

First attempt with the graphical installer resulted in a system with a broken display manager, assuming my choice of Cinnamon caused it and going with Gnome now.

My #LinuxMint installation inexplicably broke down with Cinnamon unable to boot so I'm finally moving over to #NixOS

No way this goes south :thisIsFine:

I knew there was a reason why I wasn't using the #Gradle `InclusiveRepositoryContentDescriptor.includeGroupAndSubgroups` API in my builds but hadn't actually looked, finally did it today and found this bug report which matches the issue I was seeing. Subscribed, let's see when this gets resolved.
https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/26569

Fine I'm working on it now

I'd go and finish it today but there is just so much #Minecraft I could be playing instead...

I had a blog post sitting for 6 months with a single line written, then over the course of two flights I wrote 1555 words and now I'm procrastinating again on putting the final touches on it :thisIsFine:

Realized that meeting my daily activity goals was feeling *too* easy the past few days so trying out a 50% increase across the board, excited to be making tangible progress on the weight loss journey.

@schrottkatze @pixelfed @dansup Firefox doesn't support offline translations on mobile so the question doesn't really apply, on desktop they appear to be using https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator

Just discovered @phanpy can refresh timelines automatically, somehow the best web client only keeps getting better

@b0rk I use --no-merges to cut down some of the noise but it's not an ideal situation.

I tend to rely on git blame a lot within IntelliJ to grok changes to individual files.

Congrats @fmeum :blobBongo:

@hankg the code completion features in your screenshot have existed in JetBrains IDEs since before the advent of ChatGPT and OpenAI, they run locally and do fairly basic classification. The one to lookout for regarding privacy implications is https://www.jetbrains.com/ai/

@danluu hCaptcha has single-handedly denied many websites my business because of how *incredibly* frustrating their captchas can be.

It is slightly maddening how hard Nilay Patel makes it to like him, why does the occasional spot of good journalism have to be padded by absolute bullshit like this

Android Blobs were the peak of #emoji and everything else since has just been a weak attempt at imitation :blobChefKiss:

@gp5 yeah I regret not doing this sooner, was pleasantly surprised to discover it can fast charge my Pixel 8!

Using my MacBook as a glorified power bank might be the most disrespect I've laid onto this thing to date.

@saket I assumed Pocket's doing all of this server side, if it doesn't need an active internet connection when I try to read it later then that just might be the easiest solution.

The state of masking here at #Delhi airport is quite abysmal, most of the staff here is unmasked let alone the travelers. Quite sad that #COVID is no longer taken seriously in India.
