I really wish @Mastodon let me markdown format `code snippets` and

```sh
code blocks

#fzf lets you fuzzy find and select files with `ctrl-t`. I created this little #fish snippet that lets you do the same for directories with `alt-t`:

Here's how to do it with home-manager (i.e. Nix).

programs = {
fish.binds.tab.command = "fzf-completion";
fzf.enable = true;
};

I just discovered that you can bind 'tab' to 'fzf-completion' in #fish to get fuzzy finding whenever you tab-complete.

I've previously been using zsh with the fzf-tab plugin and was missing this feature since I recently switched to fish.

I kinda stumbled over it and couldn't even find this […]

Microslop is a billion dollar company but they still haven't added the ability to zoom in pictures in the GitHub mobile app. I'm squinting at these tiny screenshots in READMEs with no way to make them larger.

We simply don't have the technology.

I just installed KDE Connect on my #nixos running laptop and it's absolutely amazing! Seamless integration between my laptop and phone. Send files, clipboard, SMS, etc.

It proves that the choice between freedom and seamlessness (i.e. walled gardens) is a false dichotomy; you can have both […]

To whom it may concern: if you're getting random cursor clicks on the screen while typing on your laptop, you may want to ensure that your touchpad gets disabled while typing. On Niri this is done by enabling `input.touchpad.dwt` which for some reason is DISABLED BY DEFAULT and it has been […]

I'll install #nixos on it.

I was just browsing a Reddit thread and saw a comment recommending my own Neovim plugin.

So there's serverless where you (in theory) pay someone else to deal with the serving of your applications. But when are we getting "pipelineless"?

My four months old baby daughter started laughing hysterically when she saw me do a push-up right in front of her today. And she kept doing it for each push-up I did.

I've never been so motivated in my entire life to du just one more rep.

I've longed for a window switching #workflow on #linux that, as it turns out, is called "raise or run":

- Super + T: Terminal
- Super + W: Web browser
- Super + N: Neovim
- etc. ...

A combination above does one of the following:

- If the program isn't running: launch it
- If the program is […]

GitHub is deprecating their command palette feature. It's a shame because I use it all the time.

It's an initiative to stop game publishers from destroying games that their customers have bought, which somehow is currently legal. I hope that the initiative will spread in the future to more industries and […]

Is there any open alternative to Linkedin? Is there one in the Fediverse? I hate the fact that Microsoft has monopoly on the job hunting market, and I despise the fact that I'm practically forced to use it when looking for jobs.

I get mildly annoyed when mobile-optimized versions of websites lack core functionality that the desktop version has.

I get furious when my web browser's "request desktop version" button gives me the same mobile version of said website.

To all the linguists out there, does the word "either" in the phrase "either A or B" add an "x" to its "or" to create "XOR" (exclusive OR)?: "A xor B".

Or is "either A or B" synonymus with "A or B" in the logical sense?

@scott Are you referring to the video where he tested where someone showing a message on a sign and filming it for five dollars would draw the line by submitting the worst possible message he could come up with and people tried to frame that as Pewdiepie being a nazi?

Pewdiepie's message in his latest video is excellent: we don't have to deal with Big Tech's bullshit and Linux and open source is fun and awesome. With his massive audience I'm hopeful that this might become a pivotal moment in the desktop Linux adaptation in the mainstream, especially in the […]
