Yeah I agree the table is very odd, but the project looks awesome anyway. Some users may care about things using native widgets when it comes to theming and stuff, though I wouldn’t even know what I’d call “native” on Linux. Is GTK native? Qt?

They explain it a bit here: https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-and-useful-zig-patterns

Also, calling out the warning signs, my bar for a native platform experience is that the app feels and acts like a purpose-built native app. I don’t think this bar is unreasonable. For example, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that Alacritty is kind of not native because new windows create new processes. Or that Kitty is kind of not native because tabs use a non-native widget. And so on (there are many more examples for each).

So nothing wrong with Kitty on MacOS e.g., but the “feel” is not native. Personally don’t care too much about that, but the author seems to do.

I’ll never get over how cool animated code folding looked when I first saw it. I love my terminal but man that’s sexy. Reminds me of some of the original demos of Dion. I feel there is definitely room to reinvent how we view and edit code.

Absolutely nothing comes close to the thinness and lightness, combined with battery and performance of my M2 Air. And that’s not to mention that Apple’s touchpads are still so far ahead of everyone else that I’d like to laugh about it, but it’s too embarrassing for that. It’s not like I’m not aware of the linux/windows alternatives, it’s that there simply are no alternatives…I’d rather deal with Apple’s shit software instead of everyone else’s subpar hardware, because software is changeable.

Also, since the Asahi team actually knows what they’re doing, it turns out that their linux support on Apple Silicon is often better in a lot of ways than most windows-centric laptops. They take a long time to support certain hardware capabilities, but once they do you can be sure that it works flawlessly. Can’t say the same about any other laptop I owned before (although Framework, System 76 and Tuxedo laptops are probably good in that regard).

Also, while the keyboard on my Dell XPS broke a whopping 5 times in the last few years, the Macbook Air has yet to show any signs of wear. The reason I got a Macbook is because I need to get work done and need a reliable machine for that. And what can I say, my god has it ever been reliable.

yup

MuseScore had a big UI rework with MuseScore 4, with an excellent video about the behind the scenes by Tentacruel (https://youtu.be/XGo4PJd1lng).

Although not sure if it caught people off guard as I’m not a user of it.

May not be the most popular choice, but I absolutely love Sublime Merge. Only issue I have is that it doesn’t support workspaces. But I love how it doesn’t abstract git away. Most actions in the UI are just called like the underlying git command, there are no non-git things like a “sync”. Plus you can always click on the top to see which commands exactly were executed and with what output. And it’s Sublime-typical wicked fast.

It’s an unlimited free trial with the dark mode disabled. License costs $100 and lasts for 3 years of updates.

It is by FUTO’s definition.

Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy. Whether you want to call it open source or not, as I said, it’s far from proprietary, and certainly more than just source available. Dismissing it for that reason is quite unreasonable.

It is not. FUTO calls it “source first” which just means “open source but with rules against bad actors”. Certainly far from proprietary.

People keep saying this happened only because vaxry got banned from the FDO, completely forgetting the fact that hyprland has used their own modified fork of wlroots for ages now. They’ve wanted to get away from wlroots even before this whole fiasco, it really just tipped the needle for them to finally pull the trigger.

Mind you also, the ban in no way prevents hyprland from using wlroots still. The only thing the ban did was prevent vaxry from contributing to wlroots upstream, which is damn unfortunate if you ask me.

I like Sublime Text and Sublime Merge and use both daily.

Probably wasn’t clear on that. I meant the 150% thing being a joke, not the jiggle physics. People having a problem with the inclusion of realistic jiggle physics is something that I didn’t even consider tbh…

TL;DR: Devs asked their Twitter if they wanted to see 150% breast jiggle physics, deleting the tweet and apologizing after some backlash, which in turn got them more backlash from the other side for caving in.

It was rather obviously meant as a joke, so I’m confused about what people were mad at. Did they think they actually intended it to be included in the game? I would’ve just liked to see that gif, sounds funny af.

according to the Asahi guy, it doesn’t work correctly for ARM: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229

I am utterly oblivious to how neofetch works, but it does seem to need updates to support newer tech.

True. I was more going on the idea of OP that it must confuse english learners. I often feel people who only know one language tend to forget that most latin languages tend to have similar quirks, often making such quirks in a foreign language rather natural.

Can’t speak of other languages, but in German anyway the sentence is exactly the same. “Ich bin zuhause” meaning word-for-word “I am home”. Same issue, normally a location would have a preposition and an article. Reasoning is also the same as in english, “home” and “zuhause” are not a location but a state in this case.

Yeah one of the Asahi guys was also confused about why people still use neofetch: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229

I believe the main thing people liked about Floorp is tab grouping and vertical tab layout à la Vivaldi, and a more modern and slim design out of the box, while keeping a firefox core instead of being another chromium based browser.

Wow that firefox css is looking real nice. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I would never use bluetooth on PC, that adds input latency like crazy. I was talking wireless only ever over 2.4Ghz with the 8bitdo adapter. Even there the KK2 had really bad latency while all the others were fine. The KK3 Max actually comes with its own adapter to achieve 1000Hz wirelessly (I got only around 880, but still higher than all the others on stock which are usually stuck on 250 or 500Hz. You can overclock the PS5 to 1000 when wired but I never did).

Also since you mentioned them going for an elite controller style with the KK3 Max, I wouldn’t count on its back pedals. Personally I find they make it impossible to hold the controller. I’ve never liked the back pedals on the Xbox Elite, and I like them even less on the KK3, while I found the one on the 8bitdo ultimate really nice (though I never used them anyway).

As for the branding I have no clue. They did have a US/Target version of the KK2 Pro called the Zen Pro which was the exact same controller, just sold at Target. I think they’re just weird with their naming.

On that note, I’ve also heard there is supposed to be more budget versions of the KK3 Max coming out over the year (I think it was two more), similar to how they had a KK2 and KK2 Pro.
