How’s it compare to piper?

Fascinating! How’s it compare to youtube-tui? I’m really interested in starting to use a program like this… the YouTube website is so unbearably slow.

Yeah actually is there a way to NOT have nano on the system? I’d really like to remove it…

Always nice to see Helix :)

I think it’s also worth pointing out the social factor in pen/paper notes as well—jotting things down on a notepad seems a lot more attentive than typing into your phone.

Out of curiosity, what program are you using to write? I think I saw they have a web editor, but I there’s a neovim plugin (and maybe an LSP) as well I think.

I was able to go zero to Nix in probably 6-10 hours, and could’ve done it sooner if I’d known about this sooner (and I’m not a super technical person).

FreeBSD has rollbacks like Nix?

Grass. He’s outside. He’s escaped the computer.

Switching to Nix could certainly simplify a lot of things. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went that direction soon.

Actually, I just tried both homebrew and Nix with a Debian 12 installation and I’m not impressed. Homebrew only ships CLI apps, and GUI applications installed with Nix famously don’t show up in application launchers… it seems like you don’t really get the features of Nix unless you use NixOS.

I like the idea of the fedora immutable distros, but the reliance on flatpak makes me a bit nervous (guess I’m just old-fashioned)… I think some kind of solution that puts a stable system like Debian or immutable fedora with a package manager like Nix might be very good (I know the U-Blue guys have been playing with homebrew?)

Can vouch for KDE Connect—especially powerful on android.

Yeah I’ve poked at Floorp but it’s UI mods feel kinda janky at this stage. I really like being able to turn everything off (no tab bar, address bar only when activated), and the only other browser that can do that is Orion (or maybe qutebrowser? No extensions though :/)

Removed by mod

Yeah, Vivaldi’s ability to make itself surprisingly minimal (in a clean/non-“hacky” way) is the only thing keeping me from Firefox or Librewolf right now.
