Helix is amazing omg why have I been torturing myself with vim motions when there are better alternatives?

I never thought I could move off neovim, but I think Helix might be pulling me away.

Since #Linux is now 35 years old, I took a look at where we are in terms of desktop, server, smartphone and gaming, so see the massive progress we made as a family of operating systems, what works well, and what still needs work.

Year of the Linux desktop? No, but there's definitely some kind of strong push right now!

Well. After working through a few installation and software issues and then a bad USB cable, my #Openterface #MiniKVM seems to be working just fine. This is a pretty handy little device to keep in my bag, much easier to plug this in and use my laptop instead of finding a monitor and keyboard for local connection to headless servers.

They are releasing an update soon which will hopefully fix the software installation issues I had.

It sure is a time saver when someone who is throwing LLM-generated pitches at the publication leaves part of the LLM's bracketed response in their pitch to ensure it's flagged as LLM output.

Listen y'all: If you want to use an LLM to do your writing, I can't stop you. If you want to put that stuff up on your own publication or blog, that's your business.

But why in the holy name of cats would you think that anybody wants to pay you to sling a few prompts at an LLM?

If we were willing to publish that, we could do the prompting ourselves. I'm not into LLMs myself, but I'm pretty damn sure I could handle throwing a few ideas at Claude myself without needing to pay somebody else to act as a meat pipeline.

For Omarchy Quattro #Linux there's tool to search through commands and execute them viamenu as an alternative to memorizing so many keyboard shortcuts.

There's a pull request to enable a keybindings IPC on #Sway to support that, along with a script to use Fuzzel for the same kind of search-and-execute app:

Been using #Deskflow with my #Debian #Linux #KDE #Plasma #Wayland box as the "server" and my #NetBSD #ctwm #X11 laptop as the "client" or second screen.

It's amazing that it works, but it's buggy. I'll get a few repeat keystrokes, and sometimes the control key gets stuck.

P.S. Thanks to @etam for this solution: https://im-in.space/@etam/117162772780969631

I know @liw's claim to fame is he witnessed these events in person.
I can at least say I read #Linus' post contemporaneously (well, days later — it *was* #Usenet).

I thought: “such a ramble-y post; it's going anywhere! & it can't run on my 286!?!?”

I *was* a 17 year old kid then. 🤣

I also think of that post every time I see #LinuxFoundation act all “big & professional” in their pompous way & #RMS act childishly w/ #GNU like it's his toy. Both happen often.

@BrideOfLinux
5 types of people who should consider Windows
1. You have to run an application that only works on Windows, and there isn't a reasonable alternative.
This is far less common than it used to be, as almost all workloads can be supported by Web apps or free Office suites.
2. You have to interface with old hardware that only works with Windows (some scientific and industrial systems).
3. Is there another reason?
