  • “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra” Anime Adaptation Announced With New PV

    Jump

  • If they put the effort in this could be a really good show. The LN has a lot of rough edges, but on the whole it's a great concept that goes in interesting directions. But the art does a surprising amount of heavy lifting; the depicted horror of the characters to those unfamiliar with them creates this interesting dichotomy with how a lot of the day-to-day interactions proceed, and it would be really easy to just gloss over that and make a fairly generic isekai.

  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • Honestly? Bash. I tried a bunch a few years back and eventually settled back on bash.

    Fish was really nice in a lot of ways, but the incompatibilities with normal POSIX workflows threw me off regularly. The tradeoff ended up with me moving off of it.

    I liked the extensibility of zsh, except that I found it would get slow with only a few bits from ohmyzsh installed. My terminal did cool things but too slowly for me to find it acceptable.

    Dash was the opposite, too feature light for me to be able to use efficiently. It didn't even have tab completion. I suffered that week.

    Bash sits in a middle ground of usability, performance, and extensibility that just works for me. It has enough features to work well out of the box, I can add enough in my bashrc to ease some workflows for myself, and it's basically instantaneous when I open a terminal or run simple commands.

  • Spy X Family Code: White Film Releases Blu-Ray & DVD On July 31

    Jump

  • Code: White was so much fun in theaters. It kind of runs into similar problems to a lot of other anime movies, with the non-canon status-quo excuse for a big fight, but Spy X Family naturally handles that better than many series and it turned out to be a ton of fun.

    !The fact that the fate of the world rests on Anya not taking a dump is just peak comedy, I don't care what anyone says.!<

  • Proton Pass Arrives on Mac and Linux

    Jump

  • On principal I don't use cloud-based password management solutions like this, but Proton Pass does make it somewhat tempting, especially since I have a Proton Unlimited subscription anyways. KeepassXC + syncthing do well enough, but PAM integration would be kind of nice some days when I'm opening and closing my vault a ton.

  • 【original anime MV】Shiranui Flare - Daikangensai! Yume no Flare Channel!

    Jump

  • I don't know what I watched but what I listened to was a banger.

  • In 1 hour, Gura and Fauna are "racing" in Dark Souls: Remastered

    Jump

  • I found it painful because I wanted to help them so badly, but it was definitely a fun pair of streams. I would 100% watch a sequel.

  • An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install??

    Jump

  • Unciv works perfectly fine on a phone if you feel like risking significant amounts of your time (:

  • I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath

    Jump

  • This is how I do it. I may never stop actually having that gmail account in use due to the number of accounts tied to it, but I at least can use other services going forward without losing tons of stuff.

  • Microsoft Places uses AI to find the best time for your next office day

    Jump

  • Honestly, it's halfway correct, if I need to go into the office I'd rather be able to interact with people IRL. Most of my work unit tries to be there on Mondays for that reason.

    The caveats are that I'd still rather not be there at all and that our office sucks so most people are at least as effective at home anyways.

  • I really do want to know though

    Jump

  • Nord Light was also pretty good when I tried it. I waffle back and forth between light and dark themes now and then and there's always a few good options that brighten the space without flashbanging you.

  • Improving shell workflows with fzf

    Jump

  • My most direct use of fzf is to search large result sets for something I can't 100% remember the name or location of, so this actually sounds nice. I've managed to get fzf to slow down a few times and... well, I'm sure as hell not organizing that folder structure.

  • NixOS forked

    Jump

  • There's been some controversy around the governance structure and culture with NixOS that has a number of people unhappy. I'm honestly not sure of the details but it's ptesumably less about the software than the people.

  • Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

    Jump

  • I'm curious to see where they go next. A lot of modern consumer electronics have repairability and upgradeability problems, but I also wouldn't expect they'd be able to crack into the phone market as easily as the laptop market, so presumably there's some more niche target they have.

  • Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

    Jump

  • Framework is a private company so they need to agree to be bought. I don't know enough about the leadership to be able to say the likelihood of accepting an offer, but it's not just a thing that automatically happens because Dell has a lot of money.

  • Livin' large

    Jump

  • As a wee lad I rented it a few times. I never actually figured out how to play it, I just ran around and died but I liked the vibe of it.

  • Their food and rent bill is a smoosh a day each

    Jump

  • I was going away for a few days and picked up one of my cats to say bye. His reaction was to immediately kick himself off my chest and sprint downstairs. He was also meh about my return. Gotta love him.

  • File over App Philosophy

    Jump

  • Logseq is a great alternative. It's very much not a clone, though. It has a different paradigm on how it views notes and the functionality isn't exactly 1:1.

  • File over App Philosophy

    Jump

  • It's tricky for sure. The plain text is great, and all the functionality is built off of plain text (even the canvas!), but replicating the functionality isn't trivial by any stretch of the imagination. Migration is easier because of the text files, but will it be as easy to see the links between notes? Or query all the notes I need more detail in? Or map it all out visually?

    I think reimplementing the core obsidian functionality in a FOSS clone would be fun... except I already have a queue of projects and not a lot of time, so here I am complaining instead 🤷

  • File over App Philosophy

    Jump

  • It's a good philosophy, to be sure. It doesn't take many migrations to realize that keeping your files in open, easy to read formats is preferable.

    I also use obsidian, but I do sometimes worry that the linking and metadata will be difficult to work with in the future when the software goes away. It's all there in the files, but my vault is slowly linking together in interesting ways that rely on obsidian functionality.
