I decided to search for ‘EXWM wayland’ again and found this:

https://codeberg.org/ezemtsov/ewm

Looks interesting at a glance.

Edit: maybe it’s a bit more sloppified than I originally thought. The author does say:

For people who are strictly against LLMs and prefer to keep their hands completely clean, I highly recommend checking out another take on a Wayland-based emacs compositor from my great friend tazjin: reka. It’s based on River, so at a small cost in features it helped to contain the complexity enough to write everything by hand in a relatively short time.

For what it’s worth:

Substantial portions of the build pipeline, scripts, and documentation in this repository were co-authored with Claude (Anthropic) during pair-programming sessions. Each commit’s Co-Authored-By: trailer records the model and the human committer responsible for review. Signing keys, infrastructure secrets, and final-merge authority remain in human hands.

I know this doesn’t necessarily mean the project depends on Anthropic, but it is something I worry about.

What are the interesting kernel features?

I see zfs mentioned and custom optimisation flags, but those seem pretty easy to do in nixpkgs. I didn’t look at the patches.

I guess the binary cache is nice if you want that specific kernel config.

That’s true, but as a maintainer you could encourage those helpful maintainers to triage issues from regular users.

I think the real benefit would come from taking a user’s reputation into account across projects.

At the end of the day you can’t have low effort pull requests, and expect maintainers to look at everything. It’s the same spam problem as in any other domain.

Surely we can come up with networks of trust for this sort of thing, so that you don’t have to deal with PRs from people with no references.

Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.

I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

Well I guess that explains this whole thing…

I wonder if fucking over the working class is actually bad for productivity…

Why is everyone okay with boilerplate? Did we forget what programming languages are supposed to do?

You still have to maintain that code.

Google already refuse signing releases for GrapheneOS on the pixel.

Do you mean how you get a special boot screen implying you’re doing something sketchy?

Google signing things is not something we want. We want phones that don’t care if your OS is signed by Google, and banking apps that trust you to pick an OS.

Yeah, honestly this is the default car shape now and I hate it. At least the BYD looks like a big estate, which id much rather have.

TODAY WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

Shame? Empathy?

Let the cat feast

Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.

My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

How can I add words to this sentence without adding information?

Just keep the door and you’re creating even more jobs in the door factory.

That’s how you keep score in bowling.

Never a bad time to post this song, but this is a particularly good one.
