@abucci Yeah I did a quick conversion of hte price and boi, it's just as expensive as Apple iPhone(s) 🤣 I don't need Google/Android garbage that's just as expensive, even if it's so-called" easier" to repair on my own (fuck I don't have time for that!) 🤦‍♂️

@adi @prologic It's worth bearing in mind that

- Fairphone has taken a considerable amount of VC funding so, sooner or later, that bill will become due: (see: https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/31/fairphone-growth-capital-raise and https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/fairphone)
- Fairphone comes with Google Play apps by default, so it's also a spyware vector (see: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/110978014080809471)

I used to have a lot of hope for them but these two ingredients mean that enshittification is virtually inevitable.

man did i lock on to that pace. hit it just how i wanted so that is great. cut the run about 15 minutes short because i woke up late and had to help get the kids ready for school. very hard to breathe... not sure if it was humidity or what but felt "heavy."

Idalia was a hurricane. It veered east at the last minute. Thankfully I only got some wind, rain, and a few hours without power.

(Nope, that’s not Twitter.)
X11’s WM_NORMAL_HINTS property is a property that can be set on a window. Part of that property is width_inc and height_inc. They tell the window manager to only increase/decrease a window’s size by certain steps.

Terminal emulators like to set these values to the font size, so that when you resize the window the size “snaps” to the next increment and the terminal widget fits *exactly* into the window. It’s a bit hard to explain for me, so here’s a demonstration:

https://movq.de/v/7909ebc08a/st.mp4

That’s the st terminal.

It appears, Wayland does not have something like WM_NORMAL_HINTS, so this functionality has been removed from GTK 3. (You can still set this property on your window, but it’s convoluted and not part of the GTK toolkit, i.e. you have to use Xlib yourself. That makes everything very awkward.)

Hence in xiate, it looks like this:

https://movq.de/v/7909ebc08a/xiate.mp4

I kind of got used to that over time, but now that I use st every now and then, I realize how ugly and annoying xiate’s behaviour is. 🫤

Applying a patch like this fixes a big part of the CPU issues that I saw:

https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1706/31857.html

This never made it into their master branch, there wasn’t even a proper discussion. Maybe nobody cares, because they’re all using nothing but dwm. 🤷

@prologic Horseshit hype:
- AI that we have today cannot think--there is no cognitive capacity
- AI that we have today cannot be interviewed--"inter" "viewing" is two minds interacting, but AI of today has no mind
- AI today is not free--it's a tool, a machine, hardly different from a hammer. It does what a human directs it to do and has no drives, desires, or autonomy

This shit is probably paid for by AI companies who desperately want us to think of the AI as far more capable than it actually is, because that juices sales and gives them a way to argue they aren't responsible for any harms it causes.
