  • oh hey, a project that actually has a manual to read

  • the Internet and the Web are fine – Web 2.0 was where things started going wrong – the cancer that begat the parasites of Web 3.0, crypto coin, and LLMs feeding off the twitching remains

  • “hacked” or just used the FBI’s own backdoors?

  • now … how many of those were by Linus?

  • historical example: Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto – released in Japan in 1961 under “Ue o Muite Arukō” – released in US in 1963 under “Sukiyaki” because that was about the only Japanese word Americans knew …

  • after trying a tiling manager

    I like the idea of tiling window managers – I just find it so much less hassle to use tiling keybinds on a stacking window manager …

    • main thing to keep in mind is that a window manager is normally just one component of a desktop environment – full desktop environments like Gnome go to great lengths to assemble a whole fleet of apps to work together to make a cohesive experience
    • if you’re going to forego the full desktop environment, then expect to have to fill in on the various missing pieces to suit your needs (file manager, terminal, text editor, clipboard manager, bar/panel/dock)
    • if you just want lighter weight but maintain a cohesive experience, then Xfce or LXQt
    • otherwise, there are a LOT of choices (both for X11 and for Wayland)
    • tiling window managers
      • i3 on X or Sway on Wayland are probably the most popular
        • special mention: Regolith – pairs Sway on the front end with Gnome components underneath
      • dwm for the full do-it-yourself experience
      • awesome if you like Lua, xmonad if you like Haskell, exwm if you live in Emacs, Qtile if you like Python
    • stacking window managers
      • Openbox for the old school feel, LabWC as the Wayland successor
      • IceWM and JWM for a minimal experience (both show up regularly on Raspberry Pi)
      • Motif for the retro enthusiast
  • not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is

    Meltdown Rule

    • examples from professional recipes – measurements are given as weights (in grams) – no worrying about how much brown sugar in a “packed cup” or if your cup of flour has been sifted enough or what exactly is meant by a “cup of spinach”
    • examples from baking recipes – measurements are given as percentages – allows easy scaling up and down
