cool! didn’t know that fcitx was also available for android

i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.

instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don’t need the extra login step into my user session.

i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.

i don’t have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.

not sure for i3, i think foot is wayland-only. but i have the same setup with sway and am very happy

since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea…

so you chord z + right hand keys and : + left hand keys?

i think i could get away with just having ctrl under a/: and maybe shift or super under s/l since i have alt under caps lock

i have been running qmk keyboards with capslock bound to esc on tap, alt when pressed as well + evdoublebind to achieve the same for the laptop’s builtin keyboard

i do like the idea of not having to come off the home row for ctrl-* mappings in vim

maybe my comment about gitlab didn’t come across right. i do find oxide’s model to be better and agree with their criticism of gitlab’s.

and as much as you are absolutely right about labour being treated much like any other commodity required for a company to extract value, that is precisely the issue being pointed at here, isn’t it?

we should differentiate and acknowledge that people are more complex than that. their experiment seems to create an atmosphere where work is being done despite compensation not being used as an incentive and instead to enable the worker to do the work.

i personally don’t think this should be a responsibility of a company at all, but rather society (or the state) should assure these conditions… but we are stuck with capitalism and this is a step towards something better :)

I always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.

mpv has an integration with ytdl (and forks), which should let you just open the url and stream it directly

except XML xD

so I wonder what the benefit is keeping it in the proprietary format at all

yeah my guess was easier editing and ux when collaborating via github, diffs on json don’t look great

but yaml (for all it’s faults) would still be better haha or now that i think about it:

• https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
• https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/scfg

both look similar to bru, would share the advantages over json and seem better spec’d/supported

in theory shouldn’t it be possible to use bubblewrap and the xdg-desktop-portal project to hack together only the sandboxing bits of flatpak while leaving out ostree/distribution

you might run into this though: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/737

if i wasn’t a terminal person, this looks ideal! no reinventing the wheel for lock-in’s (read business model) sake…

the only thing i don’t like here is their custom bru format. json, yaml or any other standardised markup fit their manifesto better as well imo

i am currently testing https://iamb.chat/ it’s a bit unique in how it does things but promising of you’re into TUI and vim

systemd is great, but being disingenious isn’t helping anyone:

chrony -> sd-timesyncd […] one less daemon

just because it ships with systemd doesn’t mean it magically runs without it’s own process

what’s the app? looks like it could be discord? running in flatpak? do you find the emoji font with fc-list | grep emoji? do other apps show emoji?

GEMA is not really the same as this though… and regardless germany just tacked this onto an existing unchanged IP law. the video proposed to drop any notion of IP in regards to media, making copyright lawsuits obsolete

agree about media.gov, acess to the created media should ideally happen in a distributed way (funkwhale?) with a government provided service as a free tax-funded default.

i don’t agree that centralising payout like that is an issue that limits creative output. most free democracies already do similar stuff to what is proposed here, although usually bound to specific programs and grants.
