That dude is no foss champion, at best just some user.
He doesn’t have to be. And so is everybody else I’m watching on YouTube to get tips on FOSS and stuff. But nobody complains about them because they’re not big enough.
If MS gives him money Windows & Edge will be the best
But “Linux” isn’t giving him any money either, surely. This argument breaks down because of that.
He’s doing these things now, and they are good now. Why complain? So cynical.
I disagree, but I don’t know why. Intuitively it doesn’t feel like this is a bad thing. The people that “get it” will be introduced to something that they like and will go down the good path. The people that don’t get it, won’t. Just like they weren’t before. Net profit: we turned some people towards the light. 🤷♂️ I see it as a win.
We don’t have to use the same method on all people either. This might work for some, but not all, surely.
I don’t really understand the enshittification spreading part of your argument. Curious to know more about what you meant by that.
Holy crap. That showreel carousel on their homepage literally made my jaw drop. No, literally made it drop.
Thank you so much for introducing me to that; that looks like it’s exactly what I’ve been dreaming about doing to my desktop for the last 15 or so years.
I owe you a beer or something.
I think you have a shot at this with eww […] it’s harder to work with
Uh huh! 😆 I was running i3 for like a decade before very recently, and a couple of years ago I got tired of the limitations of polybar and I basically rewrote all of its functionality and the modules and behavior I wanted beyond that, in eww widgets. Took me a few months to get everything the way I wanted to have it, with rich media control widgets and weather widgets and i3 workspace control and styling and, and, and.
It was super possible! But it was clunky for sure. Lots of supporting scripts and lots of strongly coupled integration of those scripts and manually refreshing eww state data in my i3 config bindings.
I’ve been eyeing Aylur’s Astal widget system as well, but I’m a little hesitant that it’ll be more of the same—configuration by programming (which is fine), with big gains in functionality, but with little gain in terms of appearance.
Ah okay, that’s a shame. Thanks for your above and beyond effort in answering my question! 😄❤️
Much appreciated! I’ll use this as a sort of reference while I’m combing through the Waybar wiki and configuring my own. 😊👍
One thing I’m eager to get working is to somehow animate switching workspaces. I have my workspaces looking like little pills right now. Small, round circles. But I want the selected workspace to kind of expand and stretch into an elongated pill upon being selected.
Would you happen to know if this is at all possible or is it not worth attempting because it wouldn’t be supported?
Alright, cool, no rush. If you remember me, let me know, if you want. 😊
Ah, neat. I’m using that too but I’m fairly new to it, as I haven’t used it for many years. Do you mind sharing your config for it?
Does that system bar come with Niri or is that something other compositors can use?
Putting the tray next to the workspaces like that is actually really clean. Frees up the right side to be less cluttered, and more uniform/static. Very nice, I might adopt that.
Is that Arch-based btw?
So it’s a YAML quirk then?
Must not have quotation marks. Removed them and now it’s working.
Man that’s finicky…
I think you really took it harder than you needed to, holy… Maybe read it through again? Seems like you posted that in a bad state. Hopefully you’re in a better state now. I really mean that.
My client showed that to me and I read it. I just imagined myself as someone who doesn’t know what Jellyfin is, and that text didn’t help much.
Ew. Yeah, good changes coming in that case. Glad they ironed that out!
Brilliant. 👍
Though sometimes you go to the website and it’s not much better.
Dude yes. Among my comments you’ll see that I ranted about this for a few days in the comments of another post. That’s even worse, when you can’t even find out for yourself.
any DB access now goes through the core library
Out of curiosity, this is better because of encapsulation? Protection from bad plugins?
Fellow fisherman! 🖐️
