  • I agree. Got fake (chinese?) poc devour glasses which cost 1/10 the price of the original thing. Though allegedly the vision quality is not on par with the originals (…that’s to be expected) they’re big enough to cover half your face from the elements and yet somehow almost never fog - not an easy feat in my case because I always wear a bandana covering mouth and nose.

    Oh and they came with 4 lenses and a plastic thing where you can mount your prescription glasses, which allegedly the originals do not have.


  • As a long time KDE user I have to agree with you.

    I hated the turn things took from Gnome3 onwards but I really like the “workspaces per demand” feature of it. It makes much more sense than having a static number of virtual desktops.

    Though I concede KDE did not do much about virtual desktops but concentrated on activities instead - but it seems like with Plasma 6 they are backpedalling on that as it would require integration from everyone, most of all non KDE apps to make it make sense.

    Do not even get me started on not being able to set a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.

    I recall there was a kwin script somewhere to emulate the dynamic virtual desktops thing, but that would be much better if it was an upstream feature.



  • Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can’t imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this “revolutionary” bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

    I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.

    Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.








  • No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can’t open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to “see”/“edit” more than one file at the same time.

    Not to mention there aren’t things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59


  • The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I’m not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don’t really miss anything else. vis’ phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.

    What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis’ main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn’t seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I’m trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.

    To those who downvote, really?

    Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

    Take my posts in Colombia@lemmy.world - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

    TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

    Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?

    It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.
