Oh wow you’re right, it’s basically just kate without some of the toolbars now. Hadn’t used plain kwrite in a while.

To be fair, Kate isn’t just a text editor, it actually is an IDE. The text editor version would be kwrite, which would be horrible to program in.

That’s not really how agentic ai programming works anymore. Tools like cursor automatically pick files as “context”, and you can manually add them or the whole ckdebase as well. That obviously uses way more tokens though.

Forgot one thing: that top bar is also entirely configurable. It’s called waybar, and you can find the docs here: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration

Pretty much everything in Sway is configurable, as most of it is just written in a config file. You can use different application launchers (fuzzel, for example), you can add a notification centre like swaync, or just customise waybar with whatever modules you want. I think you can even switch out waybar for something else, but I haven’t tried that myself.

Here’s some useful defaults for Sway: (the default mod key is meta, aka the windows key)

• Mod+d: open application menu
• Mod+arrows: switch active windows
• Mod+shift+arrows: move window (rearrange within a screen, or move between screens)
• Mod+1-9: switches workspaces
• Mod+shift+1-9: moves active window to that workspace (does not activate that workspace)
• Mod+space: make the window a regular floating window. Using Mod+arrows on a window that’s floating will move that window (I think) 10 pixels at a time. You can also drag this window around with the mouse.

Lay-out:

• Mod+w: tabbed lay-out
• Mod+e: split lay-out (default)
• Mod+s: stacking lay-out

When using split lay-out (these take a little getting used to):

• Mod+b: split the current “container” horizontally
• Mod+v: split vertically

Placing windows next to each other will put them in a “group” together, which you can see by them sharing the same blue title bar thing. Using these shortcuts changes how the windows in the group are represented.

I found getting windows in/out of the group I want, and especially splitting and re-arranging groups within groups, to be a little unpredictable, but after using Sway for a while you do get used to it.

Oh I had no idea, that’s a very nice feature then!

I just opened it as storage in dolphin, and all the files were there neatly organised.

Wait what? Do they not connect over bluetooth? Please don’t tell me they made up more proprietary bullshit.

I have had a few (I think only 2) CDs that actually included a few different formats in the filesystem, otoh ogg, flac, MP3, and wav. That was a nice surprise when I was preparing to rip them.

It’s not a tty, you can see the window dscorations in the picture

I think you may be talking about regular RAM? Vram doesn’t swap afaik.

Yeah it definitely varies per person, and I think you can even train for it somewhat.

I used to play a lot of guitar hero, and I think this improved my visual “latency” a lot, to the point where I could definitely tell when something was visually 5-10ms out of sync (in the case of guitar hero, when you strum the bar vs when the note lines up with the strikeline).

Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.

Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.

Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.

The views are all just webviews. You can find all of the pages in the app/src/main/assets/pages folder, it’s all html and css.

Their package name is also still com.example, their target sdk doesn’t match their compile sdk, and also neither match with the target sdk in their AppManifest.xml.

So I’m guessing this is just someone who isn’t really familiar with java or native android views or something, so just decided to build it in something they do know instead.

You could also host a website like that on Cloudflare pages for free. That way you even get ddos protection and some other stuff.

This is not true. I’ve seen a lot of people from my own country and others claim the same thing, but so far every time I’ve looked it up for countries it turned out to not be true.

You just have to be clear about which payment methods you accept upfront.

At least on the advertising company’s phone, I have the freedom to install a different, more privacy respecting OS like GrapheneOS.

I mean you don’t have to use Gnome with debian, iirc they have options for KDE plasma and xfce among others as well.
