For the record it’s not. It’s a chrome variant with a crypto bro ad company skin on top.

I lowkey think it’s viral marketing.

I wonder why they are weirdly pushing Brave then huh.

I bet one of the maintainers is a cult member (or is being paid to re add it) either way eww.

Don’t use brave. Brave is a cult at this point.

I feel the same way about sway. This being said Niri + Noctalia is a really powerful stable setup (in my experience) that gives you all the fancy effects.

There is even a setup wizard so you don’t need to mess with config files as much.

They’re trying to exploit what they consider a loophole in the AGPL to stop people from forking the project.

At the same time they refuse to accept any PRs.

FSF has a great write up about it.

Big fan of Helix. Best part is that it dose not need any plugins to be a modern editor. Just configure any LSPs you want and it all just works including things like fuzzy finding, multiple cursors, file browsing etc.

I use it daily and think so. Best part is that it dose not need any plugins to be a modern editor. Just configure any LSPs you want and it all just works including things like fuzzy finding, multiple cursors, file browsing etc.

This all being said a plugin system is close to being added. :)

😂

I can see how for some people cron is more straightforward to learn, at least till you need to handle logging, checking for cron results, handling when the triggered event can’t happen that instance, ensuring only one instance of the triggered thing happens at once, adding time jitter, etc.

Then timers are way simpler. Timers let you create robust timed events for free. With cron you need to do all that yourself.

That’s because you know cron. If you knew timers equally as well they would be easier. And they let you handle the edge cases (retry, randomness, tracking, logs etc) without the need for a custom script.

Once you factor in the production edge cases I think timers are clearly easier. You get all of it for free.

I think if you know cron from the start it can be easier, but it gets really annoying really fast.

Compare:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/flock -n /tmp/myjob.lock bash -c 'sleep $((RANDOM % 3600)) && /usr/local/bin/myjob.sh'

To:

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
RandomizedDelaySec=1h

That and things like systemd preventing overlapped delays, handing what to do if the system was down during the last cycle, built in logging and event tracking. Seeing successful vs non successful runs etc.

Once you add in those production requirements cron gets annoying fast and timers are easy.

The main functional difference between systemd and others is that systemd will just work. Others will require you hand tune and hand tinker with a non-mainstream Linux distro.

If your hobby is init systems by all means mess around though.

I personally quite like systemd. Unit files are clean, timers services and sockets are easy to manage etc.

Honestly it’s a non-problem. Best advice is to use what is best supported. Don’t let the extremely fringe (but loud) tiny group of systemd haters throw you off.

Imagine being this ignorant. They chose to fork only office because it’s web based and AGPL.

The original only office team refuses to allow community contributions and tries to stop people from forking it with a stupid (against the terms and spirit of the AGPL) poison pill.

Eurooffice are the good people here.

Fedora with Niri on laptop / desktop.

Alma Linux on servers.

Out of curiosity what mandatory features would you consider missing?

Yah but community centric GPL to no copyright is sort of the goal for the recent slop rewrites.

If there is no copyright on the slop output code based on GPL code that’s a win for the corps.

I think you’re mixing things up here. Mac’s are actually VERY performant, both objectively and relative to the on board ram.

There are many critiques that can be made of macOS. But saying it runs inefficiently is not one of them.

Maybe in 2019. In 2026 8Gb of ram alone costs $150
