Kagi is so much better than any other search engine I used in years. In fact, it’s too good because I don’t see myself quitting it soon, even though I’d really prefer not using American services right now.

I wouldn’t call my room barren but I hate random stuff lying around. I don’t understand trinkets, souvenirs, collectibles exposed and collecting dust.

I was referring specifically to “tab only GUI”. I’m sure a proper keyboard only GUI can be great.

Haven’t been updated at all??? That’s very much not true. There’s so much going on in terminal world. There are many flavours of modern terminal emulators, multiplexers, shells. There’s a ton of sophisticated terminal oriented software like Neovim for example. Pretty much every single part of terminal environment has now feature-rich, performant and safer alternative implementations. The terminal and CLI world is thriving. Almost none of that massive cumulative effort is directed towards the mouse support. I really think it’s just not what people want.

That’s better than nothing, obviously, but I wouldn’t call pressing tab repeatedly the epitome of good keyboard-driven UX.

This is really weird. I love working in the terminal precisely because I can do everything without using the mouse. I thought that’s the point?

No hate though, I just don’t get it.

Looks neat and I’m already using adw-gtk3. Definitely will give it a try. Thanks!

This is peak Technical Analysis!

I have never heard of anyone using aliases for anything but trivial one-liners. I don’t think people consider them as an alternative to scripts so I don’t really get the point of half of this post.

However, the part explaining the benefits of using scripts over aliases even for trivial one-liners is pretty neat.

He has told people that they should kill themself. I’m not trying to throw a shade on him but that’s the unfortunate truth.

I use Neovim. It feels like a second nature after using it for years. I love how effortless the interaction with the editor is after you have spent hundreds of hours learning it. I have no reasonable arguments to convince anyone to do that though. I just do it because I enjoy the hell out of it 🤷‍♂️

I really don’t think that’s a lot either. Nowadays we routinely process terabytes of data.

Right, in the simplest case it’s a single option declaration and a single lib.mkIf. I was probably overthinking the complexity. I will probably go with this approach.

Thanks for the answer and happy nixing!

I’m currently learning NixOS myself and was wondering about the same thing. I’m definitely leaning towards namespacing but I would like to hear an expert’s opinion.

Also, just a question. Are you planning to expose all your configuration modules via custom options? When I’m looking at other people’s configs I feel like the most popular approach is to enable modules just by importing them. I really like the idea of having custom options for everything but it’s additional work and complexity and I can’t decide if it’s worth the effort.

Well, Pull Request is not a git feature, it’s a GitHub feature. So you can only make PRs from forks on GitHub. Whether you store your work on your own Forgejo as well is up to you but you can’t go around GitHub if you want to make PRs.

True. This is one of the reasons why I only help people with their computers using remote desktop now. I’m so done with doing this verbally over the phone.

I think vast majority of my friends wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between “browser”, “search engine” and just “Google”. Yes, it seems weird but TBH does it really matter? They can use internet just fine.

I can only use it as a laptop 1% of the time and it still makes perfect sense because otherwise I would have to own a separate device for this 1% of the time.
