ossusermivami··on Apple's risky bet on CarPlay
I just carry those vent phone holder and use my phone when renting cars.. it's not the best but does the job for getting to the hotel....

obviously i rather have carplay if i could but i am worry about security implication, plugging to a car i don't know

ossusermivami··on Fedora Linux 40
I like Fedora but I only wish it was supporting rpi5 without any kernel hacks..

currently using raspbian with nix on top of it, it's not bad but rather have something more seamless

ossusermivami··on Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
don't forget old man emacs is now using tree sitter
ossusermivami··on Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
the shade issue seems to be an issue with wayland and whatnot as far i can tell..
ossusermivami··on The Snazzy D Compiler
what does snazzy d mean?
ossusermivami··on Pulsar, the best code editor since Atom
he still uses textmate afaik
ossusermivami··on Pulsar, the best code editor since Atom
> I know several world class programmers, and interestingly, the commonality among them is that they all seem to use Vim as their code editor. Many people I know who think of themselves as world class programmers use Emacs.

the author doesn't know much about Emacs (and i assume vim) but that last point about emacs is very unnecessary and clickbaity...

oh well, i don't mind pulsar being good and it probably a better fit for some people but pulsar doesn't deserves this guy

ossusermivami··on Tips for Remote Workers
I just enjoy the liberty to take a quick 20mn nap between meeting under the sun... this is the quality of life of working from home

second part is here https://ofourdan.blogspot.com/2023/11/xwayland-rootful-part-...
ossusermivami··on Win-Vind: Vim key binder for Windows
at least for the terminal, I use kitty which has a "hint" mode https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/hints/

I use this with emacs and avy + firefox and vimium and don't need it anywhere else (works across OS too)

ossusermivami··on Help Wanted at LWN
yes they have mentioned it multiple times in some of their articles, the website is in python...
ossusermivami··on Testing if a port can be reached, using built-in tools other than ol' telnet
I use something like this using python, since python in its simple form is available on most distro/container by default and should be robust enough:

python3 -c "import socket, sys; host, port = sys.argv[1], 80; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM); s.settimeout(10); result = s.connect((host, port)); s.close(); exit(result == 0)" unknownlxlaxkck.com 2>/dev/null && echo connected || echo fail

ossusermivami··on Google will retire Gmail’s Basic HTML view in January 2024
mostly young people I believe, my nephew classroom are all chatting on instagram while the only friends i know who has instagram group chats are some kind of heavy instagram users like influencers..
ossusermivami··on Wikimedia DNS
I have been using https://nextdns.io for quite some time now and never looked back, highly recommend it! Having a built-in pi-hole available from anywhere and without having to manage it for my whole family is why i would recommend it...
ossusermivami··on The Future of the Vim Project
it's not quite just a "better vimscript" language it's an incompatible language, if it was just improvement on top of the existing vimscript it would have been fine i think but what people are complaining about is if you are going to break compatibility why not choose an existing language like lua
ossusermivami··on Bubblewrap – Low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool used by Flatpak
It's mostly (great) Red Hat containers projects
ossusermivami··on SUSE is forking RHEL
> but I’m sure they’re minuscule when compared to profit.

how can you be so sure? Do you have insights on Red Hat finance we don't know about?

ossusermivami··on Rocky strikes back at Red Hat
Honestly I don't think Rocky provides any values to the community but that may be just me a arch user on desktop and debian on server (switched from redhat)....

but i don't think the issue is with them, the real issue is huge corporation like Oracle who are ought to destruct Redhat and I can understand where they are coming from... Rocky, Alma, they are casualty..

ossusermivami··on Magit
I switch between magit while on emacs/coding and lazygit while on terminal... I love them both for staging/amend/cherry-pick etc....
ossusermivami··on Impact of RHEL Changes to AlmaLinux
maybe that's a bit unpopular opinion but I'd rather see this kind of changes if that means there is no more layoffs and they won't suddenly cutoff the spending on some opensource project...

I don't rely on Redhat anymore (except for OpenShift) and fully switched to SuSe contracts now but i am happy with Redhat contributed technology to the Linux world.

ossusermivami··on How to Get Started with Tree-Sitter
i am in awe how emacs is able to reinvent itself again and again, (along with vim/neovim)..
ossusermivami··on Functionality that has been deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
because they work on opensource and don't necessary need to have it in rhel to fix for the fedora users?

but if you ask for a bugfix on Xorg needing a large amount of time to spent on it probably not going to be worked on...

ossusermivami··on Vim Keybindings Everywhere – The Ultimate List
I use QMK and have a "vim layer" which translates hjkl and other keys as left-down-up-right, i.e: something like this https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/eab2b8faa0/users/tw...
ossusermivami··on Astral
they sure know how to make a website! quite a change from ye old README.md
ossusermivami··on The Red Hat model only worked for Red Hat
I had that same experience, some time there is a lot of back and forth with junior support people that doesn't seem to have a clue what's going and only follow a script, it gets better when it gets escalated but that's painfully slow to get there if you are not a marquee customer.
ossusermivami··on Zed, the new code editor from Atom developers, has entered open beta
It's very nice but I just wish vim binding was a bit better, I know it's in beta/alpha at the moment so I'll wait for it for a bit until this gets improved..

(% is missed, and o in visual to go at the begin of the selection or end...)

ossusermivami··on Duolingo Max, a learning experience powered by GPT-4
not at all, they are pushy about you taking a premium sub but you can still learn for free...
ossusermivami··on A Spiritual Successor to Emacs
I have been using emacs and dired for like a very long time, and never knew about Q operations from dired. I used to do rg + edit mode...

I guess this is the thing with emacs, you always have something to learn...

ossusermivami··on Homebrew 4.0.0
I am grateful for brew! I have a macbook that I use sometime and it let me install software easily on it...
