I agree on focusing on what is important and moving on, however what Omarchy just did is equivalent of someone entering a restaurant and shouting “everyone who was inside before I entered is a clown”. Feels like this case requires attention.
I really don’t understand this logic. If I’m pointing at something shitty they have done and someone knowingly joins them then nothing is lost. We just identified another shitty person.
If the argument is that with their popularity they misrepresent the Linux community, then why not make them infamous with posts like mine?
I would really like for you to convince me that dismissing the topic is the better course of action.
Fix our bash wrappers? Nah, lets vibe-code a shitty webpage attempting to make fun of critics. Also upload the source because … that matters.
please
Yeah, this is super bizarre.
Edit: also whats with the nixos thing? What connection does nixos have to making fun of omarchy other than the fact that everyone should make fun of it?
I’m not sure, I suppose it is one of two things:
People make fun of Omarchy saying “Wait till they hear about NixOS” meaning that “How do these idiots have not yet realized that NixOS is perfect for what they are trying to do.”
In response to "It’s just a bunch of dotfiles" Omarchy claims that NixOS is a bunch of dotfiles too. (This one does not make too much sense)
At least they got the incest amongst royalty right, that would explain some of the cognitive issues.
The modern equivalent, is what OP is doing. And they most likely don’t even understand it and genuinely think they’re helping.
I’m aware that Omarchy is trying to - in their own words - "counter the balance in politics. However I’m just sharing this because there is fair technical criticism against Omarchy and they seem to dismiss it as bad opinions, and the webpage goes as far to ridicule the people their own project depends on. In my opinion this is unacceptable behaviour (as the implied tone of my post) regardless of politics and should be shared as an example of what not to do. Even if my post was political - which it isn’t - the post is simply exposing something bad they did. Why sharing rejection over an idea would fuel the idea in the first place? And if if did it would very much interest you on showing me how to handle the situation.
I don’t need to but I want to because I feel that behaviour like this needs to be called out.
Funny, I thought that too.
Makes me wonder how good they really are at their craft to begin with.
That is exactly the point.
LLM’s are great at what they already do, they simply statistically predict the output text from an input text. This means that if an expert needs LLM’s in their line of work they were never an expert. Unless of course they are trying to brute-force solutions to extremely complex theorems were humans would take a lifetime (literally) to answer.
DHH on artificial inteligence:
Not only they got good, they got amazing. Agents are better than me at almost all forms of programming. […] In terms of comparative intelligence here, I’m accepting that I’m becoming a little of a pointy head boss here.
Have you tried detaching the black cables yet?
I suppose what you want is floating the window and making it fullscreen, returning it to it’s position in the layout after returning it to it’s normal size?
I want to fullscreen a window that is contained within a column and when I toggle out of the fullscreen the window must not be expelled out of the column(staying in place). For example in Hyprland’s scrolling layout windows that are fullscreen keep are kept in the column (it looks clunky as hell).
To be honest, sounds like a bit of pain to implement.
I talked to Niri’s developer long time ago on Matrix and he agreed on that, however this behaviour (or apparent behaviour) is not the same with tabbed windows withing a column. I understand that within the windowing logic it is a hard thing to do, and that they are not the same operations.
For what is worth, I’m not the only one with this problem, many people have expressed the same thought.
I tried Niri for a little more than a month and it is great I feel that regular tiling is better. Sure, the scrolling layout has the benefit of not having to resize windows as often, but at the cost of having to look/search for those windows that overflow the workspace view. Also Niri has a problem that when you toggle fullscreen on a window inside a column it will expel it out from the column. And I’m not a fan of the dynamic workspaces amongst some other little quirks too. I have a blog post about it if you are interested.
Nonetheless it is a great window manager and it is in my top 3.
Picture looks like it is part of a 90’s cyberattack documentary.
sudo touch me now
Around 3 years ago I switched to Arch from Ubuntu(22.04) after 2-3 months of being a new user to Linux because I read that Arch was one of the best distros for setting up a custom system for tiling window managers. I was already testing i3wm on Ubuntu and I was ready to make i3wm my main desktop, so decided to take the Arch route. It really did feel like a jump into the dark even though I wasn’t completely new.
For a moment I hated not knowing anything but after a few bruises I ended up learning enough things to be comfortable, and learning other non Linux topics by inertia. It was totally worth it, although I would tell my younger self to take it much slower.
Everything alright at home?
I think that most Arch users that want to move to something stable are considering NixOS or GNU Guix rather than Debian.
I have no doubt there are people that are going to pay that with their eyes closed, they paid $300 for attending their conference.
