vis is absolutely great. Wish more people were aware of it (and it's cool it is mentioned in the post) and that more people used it. I still miss some features from vim, like buffers, but feels so much snappier, lighter and intuitive - and the structural regular expressions part is outstanding.

Text is so dim is really hard to read.

Several days ago I was toying with Rust trying to hack mmtc[0]. Mind you, I have absolutely no idea about Rust, but thanks to the verbosity and helpfulness of its compiler I was able to add a shuffle playlist feature - and am trying to figure out how to add an 'update database' feature too. At some point I even thought learning Rust could be easy...

Still it feels quite odd that from all western tech companies (and several more influential than Canonical) they chose precisely one that is highly involved with open source

I'd like to try a folding bike but (1) bromptons around here are filthy expensive and cheaper options (that can be found around 1/20th the price of a brompton) are really low quality, and (2) none of them come with big gears that I'd need to get home, with sections that can reach 22%

If AI really sucked at front end I'd have a job right now.

Everyone was a genuine creator but was corrupted at some point. It will happen to your favorite creator too.

In a 1:1 meeting you could fire me and say a gazillion things and I'd forget 99.9% of them.

I seem to recall reading that Gary Holt or Jack Gibson, either from Exodus, claim that despite being known worldwide as a thrash metal act they have to support themselves selling t-shirts, since their earnings from touring, albums or streamings won't cover their expenses

Gualdrapo — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 16:49:10 +0000

I'd argue the Wayland hate is much worse. Not that it might be bigger than the hate on systemd, but contrary on the case of the systemd, there are no other real alternatives to wayland nor x. Wayland is attempting to improve over x but some (really noisy) people just suffer from fear of the new.

Makes you wonder if that's where they got the name of Palantir, since Denethor went mad by using one (at least according to the Peter Jackson movies, I reckon the situation was different in the books).

New comment by Gualdrapo in "I love my dumb watches"

Gualdrapo — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:50 +0000

My parents bought an automatic Orient watch for each of them in the 70s - those that don't require batteries nor anything. My mother's watch was stolen somewhere in the 2010s and my father broke the crystal and kept stored for like 15 years or so. Just some weeks ago I remembered about it and sent it to service - now it looks and works like new and the service itself wasn't expensive. I'm pretty amazed.

Even Linus Torvalds himself acknowledges they have done some outstanding pieces of software (and I wholeheartedly agree with every word he says on this clip - it's absolutely on point about this thread's topic).

> A full country list inside a native `` instead and add a ``[0] to it with the list of countries and you will be able to filter them by typing. Granted, it still has no full support (namely, firefox), but still that's much better than a `
