or with depression

lol I’m stealing this from another post I somewhere I saved it but:

guys don’t hate me i love gnome i know im in the minority but it works so well with touchscreens and i love the no-minimize model

  • i3 on X11.
  • emacs for everything.
  • Rust lover
  • dvorak
  • i3 config shared across different machines. Config dynamically generated based on hostname.
  • Custom menus with rofi
  • Web content is the only thing that makes me use the mouse.

relation status: long distance.

For this degree of tism, I would say that's a win!

Using NixOS means when I had the time to customize I wrote it all declaratively, so now that I’ve got obligations it all stays configured and reproducible. No need to swap lol

No need to swap lol

A flake-based configuration: [am I a joke to you]

so i guess everybody is doing if via flakes now but can't we just continue with the configuration.nix and home.nix split?

You can especially since flakes are still experimental technically, but I really like being able to track the lockfile in git, have a bunch of systems/homes/packages/overlays all stored together, and mixing&matching various inputs (e.g. very easily handle multiple versions of nixpkgs in the same config)

The modularity, if built properly, is pretty nice. I can just tell my friend to run a console command aimed at my flake repo and boom they have my exact mpv package and configuration with customized settings; and if they like it they can just copy one or two files and make it their own.

htop, ytop, and ranger (or something similar).

And just based on the info those show, the computer is a ThinkPad with some 4-core, non-SMT Intel CPU and 8 GB of memory with 512 MB of that reserved for the integrated GPU.

1% CPU and 74°C CPU, do these thinkpads come without cooling? :D

Single it is.

I might make the switch to a GUI, but I'll never stop using Dvorak

Amen. Whenever somebody ask me for help in their computer, the very first thing I do is to add dvorak so I can work

Okay I'll bite: is Dvorak really that great?

It's good for what it's good for: avoiding carpal tunnel.

Are you consistently using a keyboard for 4+ hours a day? I mean typing, not just mouse & the occasional tap. Then Dvorak is vastly superior to qwerty. If not, not really worth it.

It was a huge pain for 2+ months for me to rewire my muscle memory to use it, but it was worth it for me. 15 years of typing a lot almost every day, never had so much as a twinge.

It doesn't help with speed. Typing speeds between qwerty and Dvorak are the same, once you factor in user experience and which one they're more used to.

If it helps you that's great, but there's no real evidence for it making any difference with RSI or carpal tunnel.

An anecdote is of course not evidence, so please take my single point of view with skepticism. As the number of hours spent typing increased, I started getting wrist and joint pain. Once I switched, that went away.

Personally, I really like it. I've never been a fast typer, but I feel like I'm faster with it. The layout just makes sense to me. There was a significant learning curve though, it took me a while to get used to it

I'm not a fast typer, but my writing speed is limited by things like "what should I name this variable? hm..." rather than how fast my fingers can move.

For English, you can be faster.

I don't know, I use neo2, but qwerty is bad

I can type for longer before my hands need a break.

Honestly as a Dvorak user, I wouldn't switch if you can already touch type on qwerty. Unless you have to type a lot and are having issues maybe.

If you want to learn though it makes a lot of sense to just learn Dvorak instead. It's easier and less likely to cause issues later.

are u just on tty or? /gencurious

No I'm not lol I use GUI desktop, I do like the terminal for navigating the file system, running code, and installing apps though

non judgemental post i just think this might be funny or relatable to some and if not i hope u feel welcome to share your experiences here peace and love

It made me laugh, so mission accomplished.

“And here’s your macbook! Let me you know if you need anything else! 😘😘😘”

I don't get it. I used OpenBox when I was single and now KDE while in a relationship.

Kind of serious question...

If you are in the tiling team, is this some sort of pattern in you? To be dissident of the "mainstream" way of doing things?

Do you see yourself also taking "the other", custom, method for most areas of your life?
