I switched, maybe 2018? The _only_ reason it happened was because of the shitty MacBook keyboards. There wasn’t any good way to avoid them.

So I got a used Dell 9360.

Sway and wayland.

Changed the way I use the computer. Switched back to Mac with the ARM MacBook (and working keyboard).

I use both very similarly and am comfortable on both OSes. But for now, Apple Silicon is _very_ nice.

Also, just having all the devices and suspend work. I will take that as a side benefit.

Right. Got it, love it.

But it won’t work with AeroSpace.

I mean, it will work, but it won’t work with all windows from _visible spaces_.

Because ever window from _every space_ will be in the current space (tucked in the lower right corner).

Oh, I know. I use sway — and greatly miss alt-tab (windows-style alt-tab), when I do.

Not linux-primary right now.

I can remember my linux-style stacking commands in order to try it.

But I would want to fix my alt-tab at some point.

Note: my sway (or mac) usage is basically two vertical windows or stacks of panes on a laptop screen. So a pretty simple setup.

Oh, I like the fake Spaces approach.

I have considered trying that by minimizing windows, but would never get around to it.

Tiling is doomed to sadness on macOS, because of lack of APIs. But this is probably the most performant approach.

Have used yabai, but only for moving windows and focus-follows-mouse. Not for tiling. Because flaky (not yabai’s fault).

Thanks nikitabobko.

Looking forward to trying it as soon as I figure out how to mod alt-tab to ignore all the windows (from every fake workspace) in the corner.

Also, linked in the docs, JankyBorders. Nice.

1. The feed looks fun and well done. I’m going to add one and see if I like it.

2. Feed validation gives a recommendation.

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fww...

Also, it gave some sort of redirect error for several minutes after feed creation. It disappeared on refresh, so I can’t give details.

3. Would be nice to have a (probably not ai, sorry) filter for only front page articles, or only articles over a certain number of votes or comments.

4. Your blog has no rss feed.

5. There is no `<link rel="alternate" ...` for the rss feed in the preview page.

Anyway, I like it. The scraper day-job looks neat, too.

Itch?

A better interface to current search engines.

Itchy, so extremely itchy.

Implicit (or easier explicit) `AND`. Standarded option flags. Excellent (that’s the dream at least) option autocomplete.

Scratching away.

...also, using the existing excellent python tools to keep my iPod shuffles running with music and podcasts (auto delete and trim when played).

At that battery life, absolutely interested.

Prefer 8gb+, but but I can deal with 4.

Also would prefer a wider form factor, but I ain't gonna build one myself to get it.

That battery life is the appeal.

If it has (close to) full size keys, I want.

Please.

Any idea of;

1. Weight?

2. Thickness?

Thank you.

I’ve been noodling with this sort of idea for years. Never got around to it.

Thanks for a simple starter. I will be modifying this for my needs at my leisure.

Sign me up.

The performance charts & graphs look nice. And (from Safari) I am excited to see what WebKit can do with extensions and other power features.

And, iPhone version.

Also:

1. The search engine (https://kagi.com/) is super cute (don’t have a login to try it).

2. Apparently this is what happened to the kagi.com (shareware payment) domain. Nice.
