Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

kinda glad I bounced off of the suckless ecosystem when I realized how much their config mechanism (C header files and a recompile cycle) fucking sucked

I've been happy with awesomewm for years now. Maybe one day I'll enshrine my current config in dwm or something from scratch in Rust and XCB, but so far it has not been the time.

As for terminal emulators, alacritty has been comfy for me. It's not the most minimalist thing out there but whatever promises it makes in relative complexity, it delivers in performance and features.

oh hey, i love awesomewm! i'm much less amenable to fiddling with annoying linux config than I used to be, but the lua-scriptability is just appealing enough that I don't mind messing with it a bit to do silly things

I just use xfce4-terminal though lol

sidenote, I went to edit this post and accidentally deleted it instead. Would it be so hard for lemmy to use words instead of a million cryptic icons....

I just lost a long post cause upvoting the post you’re replying to causes lemmy to remove the reply box, losing its contents, without any confirmation. lemmy sure is an approach to a UI
