That’s pretty much what I do as well. It was an absolute game-changer for me when I discovered tiling WMs some ~7 years ago, because it meant super consistent keyboard shortcuts for getting to exactly what I wanted to interact with. I know where individual apps/tasks go, so I put them there. And then when I need to switch to them, it’s as straightforward as Super+[workspace].

Also helps a ton that i3wm’s workspaces only take up a single monitor at a time, which makes it excellent for jumping between monitors.

None of this is set in stone, but I usually follow a relatively consistent pattern:

Center Monitor

• 1: Primary/“serious tasks” web browser
• 4: Any remote or virtualized desktop I might have open at the time
• 6: Image/video editors. Also sometimes just misc usage.
• 8: Development web browser next to neovim
• 9: Steam/games
• 10: Misc. Often a DBMS or file manager
• 11: Misc. Often where I put any secondary tasks or second projects I need to reference
• 12: Misc. Often where I’ll stick any long-running tasks that I just need to check on every now and again.

Left monitor

• 2: Music/comms/task list

Right monitor

• 3: Always only a terminal.
• 5: Text editor to use as a
• 7: Secondary/“wasting time” web browser

I highly recommend the Dark Reader extension for your browser

yeah it’s almost certainly gonna be bound to Super+C, the existing keybind for copilot

The context menu or right-ctrl key, probably

before the what, op?

BEFORE THE WHAT??

sweats, knowing a time-traveler in our midst refused to tell us about the coming copilocalypse

Wow, the entitlement of “I don’t want to do things myself, do extra work for me instead”.

screen doesn’t scroll

Screen (and any other muxer) can scroll just fine. You just have to learn how to do it in each one. Tmux, for example, is ctrl+b [ to enter scroll mode.

mistyped file operations

Get a good TUI file manager. I use and recommend ranger.

The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

Rescanning with modern tools is the exact definition of a remaster - Going back to the original ‘master’ copy and using modern techniques to produce a newer, better version :-)

Fortunately, some remasters even in gaming are the same: Going back to the source, maybe fixing some bugs, and then using the highest quality assets that were available at the time but had to be scaled down to make the game make sense for the hardware of the time. Unfortunately those are few and far between.

Except they can absolutely come up with new things; their responses aren’t just cut and pasted bites of previous text snippets. They are generated based on a neural network’s idea of what the most likely next token is, and tokens are often fragments of words. There’s a reason you can have it do arbitrary things with text- Because it’s doing slightly deeper things than just imitation.

The good old scunthorpe problem

Hexarei, 7 months ago

Back in the distant past of 2008, a RuneScape player by the name of Icedpizza thought my complaints about driver problems on older hardware would be easily solved by this incredible thing I’d never heard of called Ubuntu. Downloaded 8.04 Hardy Heron and my life has never been the same since.

Little Caesars: It’s hot and ready!

A vintage meme sir but it checks out

Fusion 360 works pretty well via Lutris

Sounds like prime time for a virtual machine to me!

Hexarei, 7 months ago

I dunno about the guy you’re responding to, but I run rEFInd

Hexarei, 7 months ago

Proton may not be perfect but it works for the vast majority of games at this point. And most mod managers can also run through Lutris, curious to hear which ones you’ve tried that didn’t work

I definitely wish there was a good NLVE for Android that was FOSS. Currently using LumaFusion because it’s the most powerful one I’ve found but it was $21 on sale
