  • Do you agree?

  • Fascinating. But isn’t this akin to stripes on a tiger or zebra, just visible in a different electromagnetic spectrum?

    Whereas bioluminescence involves producing/emitting light like fireflies.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

  • Hehe.. top notch screen.

    I agree with everything you said, and I use a MacBook Pro for the same reasons. I made a similar comment but you have articulated the points much better.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

  • There is no perfect laptop as it is a subjective choice.

    I got a MacBook Pro which is the one that ticks the most boxes for me. It is simply a well built and reliable piece of hardware with really nice battery life and performance.

    Yes, Apple tries really hard to sink their machines with terrible software decisions and hostile repair policies. But that still does not undermine their machines build quality.

    Also, this is trivial, but their website is simple and easy to use. They don’t bog one down with a slew of laptops that are hard to differentiate. I know what I am looking at, and what I will be getting.

    The only other machines I own are ThinkPads. But Lenovo loses me whenever I get on their website. It is easier to look at an eBay listing for a second hand ThinkPad than to navigate and search their website for a new one. Also, their newer machines just aren’t as good as the older ones.

    I say this as a user of an array of ThinkPads and ThinkCentres to quench my thirst for BSD (and sometimes Linux). I use these machines for writing, gaming, watching movies, and more. But I cannot depend on those machines for any critical or work-related tasks.

    Framework laptops aren’t sold here so I have never used them. There is no point in importing one where the whole raison d'être is their modularity and repairability which requires their ecosystem to be present first.

    I have contemplated using Asahi Linux on the MacBook Pro, but I am sure I won’t get the best out of the machine especially w.r.t. battery life. Perhaps when the machine is no longer supported by Apple, I will experiment with it.

  • I am not playing a ton of games really so maybe that is also something I could consider.

    I too don't play games that often, not for want of trying.

    However, it allows me to be deliberate with my gaming sessions as well as when I am writing about it.

    What software are you using for this and could you share something you've written? Only if not too personal of course, I understand you might not want to share, that is OK.

    I use Org-Mode in Emacs, but I previously used Obsidian. You may definitely find the latter more palatable, as it did to me initially.

    As for what I write, my write-ups starts out with links to the game's Steam/PlayStation store and Wikipedia entry (resolved on a best effort basis), and to my journal entry to Steam Deck or PS5 (nothing more than to facilitate reverse lookup). Followed by my own brief description of the game, story, and any special gameplay mechanics worth highlighting. The rest are my thoughts on what worked and what did not for me.

    There are some older, obscure games like Camy series, Monster Hunter (not the famous series), Heart of Darkness, and many more. which do not have any links but my write-ups are longer. Perhaps I play them more and have more to write about because not much is available online.

  • I use my digital journal to document my thoughts on games that I have played or are next in the pipeline. The notes grow organically as my thoughts form with each gameplay.

  • How long have you been journaling for?

    Jump

  • I have been journaling since 2019. It was born out of the need to manage my tasks and thoughts at work. But then it was helpful enough to start doing it for all the aspects of my life.

    Started out with a simple notepad lying around at my office. Moved to Obsidian and now Emacs’ Org-Mode.

    But I still use a nice notebook for journaling when I am not around my machine or when I want to jot something urgently. I digitise it later, if necessary.

    In fact, I prefer using pen and paper over my machine (which has a very, very comfortable and enjoyable keyboard), as I find it more personal, private and deliberate.

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn't, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.

    It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.

  • YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process (Edit: Not anymore, it’s fixed now)

  • Thank you for discovering this, and creating awareness around it.

    Seems like a genuine miss, contrary to what the comments here would have one believe, given that the compose file (and rest of the docs) were mostly derived from whatever worked for the developers themselves.

  • I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game

    Jump

  • I had to read more than once to realise it is not a game about WinRAR.

    Having said that, all the best with the development, and may the game find love and success. :-)

  • I don't know how you arrived at this based on what @TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca was saying.

    Connection strength is a network/infrastructure problem while what was being said in the original comment is an application/usage one.

    The other part of your statement can be solved using a search engine which restricts itself to just searches and not distract itself with ads and AI. But evidently such a product is hard to build in today's world.

  • poor jeremy

  • A perfect origin story of a villain.

    Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.

  • Some TODO app called Emacs?

    Jump

  • Vim was my primary tool of development for over a decade, and I used Obsidian for about 3 years. However, in early 2024, I tried out Emacs and never looked back.

    I find it functionally equivalent to Vim albeit perceivably slower, and Org-mode (+Denote) is far superior than Markdown and Obsidian with its slew of plugins.

    Migrating my 3 years worth of notes was a pain since I was using Obsidian's variant of Markdown syntax to link other notes. In the end I gave up trying to convert those notes, and used them alongside my new Org-mode notes, thanks to Denote's interoperability.

    In fact, Denote's naming philosophy is so powerful yet simple that I started using it for all documents and downloads.

  • Even better, they now directly report to a supply chain expert.

  • Yes, a convergence maybe on their cards. That would explain why they want to bring liquid glass to all their devices.

    Though I am not sure why it necessitates having a software UI language which is aggressively similar across all devices, to the point it is detriment to some devices(all non-Vision Pro devices, IMO).

    Having a consistent design philosophy across their devices should have been the goal, allowing for freedom in UI design that suits better to the individual form factor and input and output mechanisms.

    Instead, we got whatever this is.

  • Apple’s design team will report to Tim Cook

    Jump

  • I hope this means well since the all encompassing "liquid glass" is a horrible design. An update for the sake of change, serving no other purpose.

    Even its introduction/presentation at this year's WWDC did not mention the rationale behind why the UI design needs to change and why it needed to cover a myriad of devices with different input and output devices.

    Even Apple has acknowledged it by toning down the transparency in lieu of readability, and still looks ugly.
