Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:

I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.

On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.

Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)

I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.

If you know your classics, you know Asterix always brought his dog Idefix along.
So what better companion to my KDE Aurora spin Asterix than Idefix Saigon? It is Sway Atomic by Universal Blue, and I've thrown in a Hyprland for you as well. But it is all about that nwg-shell, the best GTK toolkit for wlroots compositors around. You know the drill, read about it, get those iso's out and rebase to Idefix-Saigon!

Anybody have Wayland-compatibile tiling compositor (WM) recommenddations? I'd been using #xmonad for years, but it doesn't work with Wayland. #KDE #Plasma with #bismuth was good for me, but Bismuth doesn't work with latest Plasma. I've really not found anything good with Gnome, and the options like #sway and #hyprland require a bunch of time to configure and don't do things like remembering what to do when I plug in different external monitors like KDE does. I appreciate KDE's automation.

@Riedler This is timely. I'd been using #xmonad for years, but it doesn't work well with Wayland. #KDE #Plasma with #bismuth was good for me, but Bismuth doesn't work with the latest KDE.

I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm

Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.

I was so impressed AND I got to avoid abandonware security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!

Evaluating whether I can live with vanilla #GNOME instead of #Sway.

So far, main issues:

• I'm accidentally locking my screen a lot. (Super+L, might have to rebind this.)
• Switching between terminal windows using Alt+Tilde takes some getting used to, but I'm not sure whether it's actually bad or not.
• Top bar and titlebars waste more screen real estate than I'd like. Might need to write a custom stylesheet.
• Needs hacks (`dconf load`) to store configuration in my dotfiles repo.

Написал скрипт, который принимает https-ссылку на пост, получает ссылки на вложения с помощью #toot, преобразует https-ссылку в fedi-ссылку и сохраняет вложения в директорию с именами вида `<fedi-ссылка> <номер вложения>.ext` (см. иллюстрацию). Слеши в fedi-ссылке заменены на знак `∫`, потому что ~~а почему бы и нет~~ я ещё не настолько сошёл с ума, чтобы использовать слеши в именах файлов, поэтому их нужно на что-то заменить.

Запуск `fedi-save (wl-paste)` повесил на хоткей в #sway; открытие ссылки, содержащейся в имени файла (`fedi-save --open <path>`) повесил на хоткей в #yazi.
