Haha, I always guess whether or not there will be an LTSC comment before checking the comments. These days it's always there, even early after posting.

oh wow, it's real. I'm not that active on hn, but is this a normal thing here?

Linux Mint would be a very decent distribution to start with. I've also heard good things about Fedora, but never used it myself.

Regardless, at least a few of my colleagues using Windows have reported issues with the new start menu. It seems very slow, and sometimes you have to close & reopen it for content to appear.

I'm already so annoyed by the SUV craze that flew over from the US. Cars are already getting bigger, with no apparent benefit besides status (as marketed by the industry).

Am I the only one who thinks these vehicles look silly on top of all the added danger?

We’ve continued to make solid progress on WPT this month. There has been a significant increase in passing subtests, with 111,431 new passing subtests bringing our total to 1,964,649. The majority of this increase comes from a large update to the test suite itself, with 100,751 subtests being added - mainly due to the Wasm core tests being updated to Wasm 3.0.

They fixed ~10k tests, but indeed this month is a bit of an exception as there were lots of new tests added.

It costs 1,100eur for the cheapest model where I'm at. Not prohibitively expensive, but I would never pay it for a machine that does not properly run Linux. I'm sure it is good hardware compared to similarly priced laptops though.

I would add that no highlighting would be applied to this mistyped word as it would not be recognised as a variable or a keyword. This may depend on the way syntax highlighting is handled. A common solution like treesitter would sus out that no variable with the name retunr exists, probably causing the mythical base colour to be applied, heh. That is arguably a big highlight in a colourscheme that rarely uses its base colour.

Yeah, it works perfectly fine for me on hyprland.

Don't extra security measures in authenticator apps provide protection against this? I need to enter a pin/fingerprint in order to access my codes. And the code of an entry is hidden and only temporarily shown after being tapped.

Knife crime statistics seem to suggest otherwise. It is nice, until it is not.

Yep, but admittedly the vertical tab UX is not the greatest. You either have them always be visible with an option to toggle by clicking the sidebar icon (no keyboard shortcut option afaik), or minimised as icons that expand on hover with an awfully annoying animation.

Looking at Zen, I really don't understand how Mozilla fail to capitalise on their browser, and build up a similar experimental project based on Firefox like it. It seems that many of these small QoL improvements could make a big difference. They have such a huge budget, and they waste it on inane things. Their fancy search deal with Google has made them complacent, and neglect one of the few things that ever had any real worth. Curious to see how it develops with the recent Google ruling. And to be fair, it does seem like Firefox development has picked up a bit lately—maybe even due to Zen's competition, who knows.

These days you can choose between different UIs, some of which will have the "ribbon" style. I do agree though that it feels a bit dated if you're used to MS' office, but you get used to it quite quickly.

Regarding your last sentence, I don't know the answer. If you really want to find out I would make an educated guess that it is one of the more feature-rich modern terminal applications (like kitty, wezterm, alacritty, ghostty)

There is fennel which compiles into lua. I know there are some people who use fennel almost exclusively, and have some sort of system set up that watches and auto-compiles and sources. I only ever used emac as a basic text editor in the terminal (years ago), so I can't say if this will be sufficient compared to the "real" experience in emacs. Just letting you know in case it is helpful.

edit: I forgot to mention the most important thing, I am talking about using neovim

Can you elaborate why you think this?

Personally I've been running Arch on my work machine for a few years now with very few issues. I'm not even very consistent with updates, and probably run them about once every 3 weeks on average. I have only had to manually intervene on a handful of occasions.

I like it a lot because everything is always up-to-date. I don't face any issues with unsupported versions for tools like I have with Debian in the past. The rolling release model also saves me the pain of doing a "hard" OS upgrade, which often come with issues.

This looks interesting. At one point I wanted to use a third party library using luarocks, but I gave up because it wasn't immediately working/straight-forward. It may have been a skill issue though...

I thought I'd never see the day! At long last, I'll be able to use non-destructive editing.

Hopefully they'll adopt a more sane release strategy going forward.

As a user of a Firefox-based browser, YouTube's performance really is hit or miss. Sometimes it's ok, other times it's barely useable.

These days I simply queue up videos in mpv. It is much lighter on the resources, and also provides a nice cache that makes seeking through videos a breeze. I can open a link straight in mpv using a very nice system[1]. Once I have an mpv instance open I simply drag links on top of it to enqueue them. (shift+drag if you haven't set the following option in your config: drag-and-drop=append)

It works so well I find myself doing it for other online sources of videos too (e.g. Twitter/X, local TV websites, ...)

I would only donate for firefox specifically, when given the promise that it would be spent on development. Never to Mozilla with all the weird stuff they fund and work on.

Thanks for checking! Stealing this and adding it to my global userscript, just in case ublock doesn't catch the download.

Please don't conflate Europe (the continent) and the European Union.

Looks really nice. I do have my doubts about the ergonomics of it though. Once you've had a taste of concavity and column-staggering nothing else feels the same.

I really hope the Ladybird browser project succeeds in the next few years, because it seems that Mozilla is digging Firefox' grave deeper with every step they take.

I think the main issue in this case is that the maintainers provide an official flathub entry themselves. People using the fedora flatpak are not aware that they are using an unofficial (and incomplete) package, and then go to upstream with their issues.

Not Onedev or Forgejo, though it could get tricky depending on what features you require.

I would have failed this question badly. I'm curious, how would you check that without access to any number or math operations? I think I would try something similar to what he did with his sum_table, but that too was disallowed. They're constraints I've never had to deal with, nor seen before.

Feedbro is great. It has none of the arbitrary limitations that many of the web-clients impose for monetisation reasons.

The only downside (or upside depending on your perspective) is that it is a local solution. You can only access it on a specific device, and it won't be syncing when that device is turned off.

This is what I love about wezterm. I have a whole system that detects lightness and changes themes automatically, and also sends commands down to any open nvim instances to switch colourschemes there. The only downside is that there is no going back for me haha.

Lua is also simple enough that if you want to have a static config, you can have a single table that is very json-like.
