Good Guy GOG

Previous products took much longer for batches to sell out. Even the AMD framework 13 laptops didn't sell this fast and they were the #1 thing the community had been asking for for about a year.

We (sadly) can't tell how many units are in a batch. But we can tell that demand is far exceeding their expectations.

Doc martens are not so great quality now. The general consensus is that Solovair are the spiritual successor (in terms of quality) to what Dr Martens were. This video has more info: https://youtu.be/vkhCcvfVHRs?si=21bH9fSvkNgmjwm1

For laptops O would recommend framework laptops. The idea is that they have upgradable and repairable.modules. You can follow them on mastodon too: @[email protected] And we have a Lemmy community too: ![email protected]

In this regard, AI-generated code resembles an itinerant contributor, prone to violate the DRY-ness [don't repeat yourself] of the repos visited.

So I guess previously people might first look inside their repo's for examples of code they want to make, if they find and example they might import it instead of copy and pasting.

When using LLM generated code they (and the LLM) won't be checking their repo for existing code so it ends up being a copy pasta soup.

I think it depends on the website. There are some websites where chrome will work better either because chrome works better with certain libraries/technologies or because the developers put more time into optimizing for chrome.

On the other hand Firefox might have less bloat around telemetry that gives it an advantage too.

Another reason no one else has mentioned yet is that countries want to have control over their own power generation. If you're power is all generated in another country then it can potentially be turned off by another country.

I use Helix

TLDR: Yes I think helix is worth trying out. It has some missing features but it is an amazing piece of software.

Yes I use helix daily. It is very fun to use and you can do many things faster. It is particularly good when navigating a (large) codebase you know fairly well. You are able to jump around and find/edit relevant code very quickly.

Compared to vs code:

• it is much faster and more minimal
• It might be harder to get things up and running than in vs code, e.g. to get auto-completion working in helix you need to have the LSP for that language installed. It can be a bit confusing if you have never done it before but it is easy once you have done it a few times.

Compared to neovim I think it is:

• easier to learn
• slightly faster - especially with large files
• you will have a much smaller/simpler configuration. AFAIK Helix has more features working out of the box than neovim (file picker, lsp support ect) and needs less configuration to get things to a workable state.

The downside of helix compared to both neovim and vscode is that it does not have plugin support yet so you will need to use other tools in combination with it to get an equivalent experience. Here are some tools that are commonly used with helix:

• yazi - terminal file manager
• gitui or lazygit - terminal git user interface
• zellij - terminal pane manager

Helix really shines when:

• performance matters - I have edited files with millions of lines and had no trouble on codebases where my colleagues IDE's become very slow.
• You want to use multiple cursors at times
• You want a simple or no configuration
• It is taking too long to learn the vim keybindings - vim keybindings are more concise but less intuitive and harder to learn

I recommend you use the tutor (hx --tutor) for a few minutes each day to learn the keybidings.

From what I remember they were using GNOME for pop os with some custom addons they had made (for example a tiling addon). GNOME updates will sometimes break addons and I think the pop os people got tired of this.

I actually really liked the addon as it would help you have a workflow closer to a tiling window manager.

So they are creating a DE with the features they think are important (tiling, performance, others) in mind from the start. I like the idea of this as I don't want to commit to installing 100's of tools for a tiling window manager like hyprland but I do want the benefits of tiling.

Also it's written in rust which implies performance and security.

I have a framework laptop and really like it.

The main benefit is that it is fairly future proof, so you could get one the of the cheaper ones now and then upgrade if you need better ram/CPU/apu

The guardian live feed is quite good. The latest is that Prigozhin is in Rostov and Wagner have taken control of Voronezh (300 miles from Moscow),

Discourse and Lemmy are both based around topics/communities so hopefully there will be better federation here. E.g. being able to follow a discourse topic from lemmy would be really cool.

Hopefully they have done this in a way where Lemmy can federate with then easily.

Most is described here (the author probably has some amount of bias but this is the only summary I know of): https://github.com/KFearsoff/nix-drama-explained

Other than that some very active contributors resigned as maintainers in support of the open letters.

And it seems now that the community members in support of the open letters/changes have convinced the board of the foundation to agree on some things.

Another day older and more tech debt

Oh captain my captain!

I hope Nokia

This actually sounds really promising!

• They are teaming up with an existing python package manger written in rust.
• These are the people who make/made ruff, probably the most useful and fast python linter.
• you basically get pip from a single binary.
• they plan to have cargo/poetry like functionality in the future.

Edit: here is a blog post from the creator of rye talking about rye and UV: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/2/15/rye-grows-with-uv/

Thank you for the recommendation. I have been wanting to try out the FUTO apps (which grayjay) for a while but couldn't find it on f-droid. It looks like they have their own repo which you need to add.

Just got grayjay downloaded and it is so good!

Yep its really impressive for such an early project.

Having said that I can't work out how to edit comments/posts I have made.

It would also be nice to have a preview of your comment too.

Hopefully they add that at some point.

AMD releasing a video talking about the laptop and saying that the Framework 16 AMD Advantage laptop will redefine the gaming laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Ww_7wwNkM&t=7s

Your app is really good. Well done!

Its not only miles better than the default mobile experience on Lemmy, it is also has features like swiping that I have never seen used on a web app before.

Do you have some kind of roadmap of features that will be added?

Some things I think would add to the experience are:

• Previews of comments/posts
• Sorting by Top day, week, month, ect
