eigenblake··on Why Linux is not ready for the desktop, the final edition
I'm surprised no one has mentioned atomic Linux distros yet in this thread. The really hard thing here is that people aren't all talking about the same things. My experience on Arch isn't my experience on Pop. Things on Pop are amazing on my MSI rebuilt PC with Nvidia GPU. I don't even know if I really need to upgrade to NixOS except to satiate my curiosity.
eigenblake··on Ask HN: Has anyone tried adapting a court reporter keyboard for writing code?
Absolutely yes, but not me personally. The keywords to search for are Plover, Stenotype https://youtu.be/jRFKZGWrmrM
eigenblake··on Weird Nonfiction
> creative work that presents itself as journalism or nonfiction but introduces fictional elements with the intention of upsetting, disturbing, or confusing the audience.

A good time to mention the SCP wiki and some types of analog horror. It was this kind of thing that led me to discover "hard science fiction" which is distinct but related to the previous two.

eigenblake··on I give you feedback on your blog post draft but you don't send it to me (2021)
What I don't see represented in this conversation is the idea that you can just write for personal satisfaction, or examine something you're personally interested in. Not everyone needs to have 10k+ monthly active readers. Not everything needs to be a rat race. Why don't we see blogging like exercise? Sure you'll have your body builders, but some people just go on walks, and no one is doing anything "wrong" they just have different goals.
