  1. Firefox won't let me view it because it says the connection is insecure. Not sure what is happening.
  2. Didn't expel me from university for an insensitive prank I accidentally sent to the administration instead of my friends. I discovered the university's email server was unsecured and thought it would be funny to send fake emergency alerts to my friends from the official university email. I mixed up the "from" and "to" fields though... oops.
  3. Allowing the maintainer to prepend a comment to the top seems more sensible to me to be honest. Would make API use harder potentially, but it would avoid weird abuse like this.
  4. I've been messing with sandboxing using "bwrap" for random itch.io games I download to play and it isn't trivial to get it working with least privileges. I have so far been unable to get "Microlandia" to run, but other Unity games are running just fine under "bwrap". I am excited to see more Landlock tools emerge that make this task easier.

  5. I must be blind. How do you downvote? I've only ever seen an upvote.
  6. I'm not arguing that accessibility is good, but they did very briefly address a11y in the FAQ: https://blogs.kde.org/2025/11/26/going-all-in-on-a-wayland-f...
  7. Oh well. Uninstalled. This was my first experience doing software development guided by AI. Doesn't seem like a tool that will serve me well in the long run.
  8. I'm not using a workspace account and am unable to get past this step.
  9. wow, you weren't kidding about the scroll induced nausea.
  10. More expensive for what you get, but I've had my ZSA Moonlander Mark I for a few years and really enjoy it.
  11. Very similar to Intel One Mono which is a font I love to use.

  12. The approach I like the most is to first design a CLI that has the functionality you need. Then move that functionality to a lib and have the CLI now be a frontend for the lib. Then make a GUI frontend too.

    Allows for a GUI for tasks that need that better context or hand holding. But then the CLI is there when there is a workflow the GUI doesn't support comes up. Bonus of scripting being possible with the CLI too.

    Challenges this approach has is that you have to have a test suite that exercises both workflows or due diligence to make sure they both work as development continues.

    Also not all programs can be done acceptably with a CLI. Real time 3d games are an easy example of a GUI only task.

  13. I do it using `nvim --server`, but not sure Helix can do it. https://neovim.io/doc/user/remote.html
  14. Newer nvim is also slowly eating into the plugins needed. There is a built in plugin manager, diff viewer, and lsp now.
  15. That is quite a lot of nvim plugins to maintain! I just rewrote my nvim last week with 4 plugins (mini.nvim counts as 1). I feel when I stack up too many plugins the stability and reliability of nvim plummets to an annoying level.

    I envy that with emacs you feel you only need 2 plugins. That probably operates with a ton more stability.

  16. Interesting. What happens when you open a file in the yazi pop-up? Does it create a buffer in Helix?
  17. I haven't written any Bedrock assembly yet. But a few months ago I read the spec and bookmarked it as something interesting. I am toying with the idea of creating a disassembler for it now.
  18. Hi BenBridle. What changed between Bedrock Spec v1 and Spec v2? Is there a way for me to see what's new? I'm assuming there were changes to support more than 1 screen for NDS, but not sure.
  19. Dang it! Got me too! I've been wanting to hop into Meshtastic lately.
  20. Don't know your requirements, but it does say "Working basic web browser with NetSurf" on the front page.
  21. I haven't used it, but I've seen people speak well about evil helix https://evil-helix.github.io/
  22. I believe folkes is just on vacation. Hardly ditched.
  23. I just got my T2i out a few months ago and the first thing I did was check for new magic lantern versions. haha. Really cool to see this project is still living.
  24. I'm using Firefox and the links were activated when I hit enter in the quick-find prompt. Not sure why the behavior is different than what the author is seeing.
  25. If you want to use Starship, but disable nerdfont and the language features leaving things like git, duration, error, etc., use this config: https://github.com/dannyfritz/dotfiles/blob/e53d410364bf6e2f...
  26. I don't think we've really seen many successors to LoDash other than Ramda because the platform now has many of Underscore's functions built in.
  27. Thank you for this. This is actually quite marvelous.

    Here is what I'm using for fish:

        if type -q neovim
            set -gx MANPAGER "nvim +Man!"
            # abbr --add man --set-cursor "nvim \"+hide Man %\""
        end
    
    I can finally retire fisher and decors/fish-colored-man.
