This does not sound sustainable at all.

I'm confident his announcement to "leave social media" was an April Fools' joke.

I know what you mean, but I think private chat and public posting are quite distinct. They'd destroy a lot more trust if they sell private messages compared to what they did with Tumblr. Especially if they continue to push local bridges, where they won't be able to read any message (you still have to trust them obviously).

Well that's some news. If they're good news we will see. I'm a Beeper user but never heard of Texts (stupid name) before, which seem to share the same misson as Beeper. Texts was purchased by Automattic last year (according to the Beeper blog).

What does that mean? Automattic punches with some weight in the chat space now. In general I don't like it if big companies buy small products. However Automattic still seems to bet on the Fediverse, so maybe if the teams from Beeper and Texts can work together on a Matrix-based, open source chat application, we could get something really good.

I've mixed feelings about this whole thing, some shy optimizm, some less shy pessimism.

Well, time will tell.

Seems like a large link collection for now. I like that the documentation is worked on however, it's probably Nix' biggest weakness atm.

(dead thread I know, but whatever)

It's very similar, more like an evolution from Neo than a revolution. They switched a few keys and if you're starting fresh I think I'd recommend Bone, but if you already know Neo I'm not sure switching is worth it. It could be fun though (if you consider learning a new layout fun ^^).

They're talking too much business to be a 'private' search. They don't make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).

Never heard of it before. However:

End-to-end encryption keeps your notes secure. Our export and API keeps your notes accessible.

I'm not relying on any 'export' feature for my personal notes. If they aren't using an open format I can access with other software, it's a hard pass for me. Personally, I want the data separate from the application, so I can choose my own sync provider and switch editor any time.

TL;DR If it doesn't support plain markdown files, it's not an option for me.

I'm a semi-recent NixOS user and one thing that bothers me since the beginning is that when I change the Gnome theme (between light and dark), Firefox doesn't adapt. The system theme in Firefox is enabled, but it always displays the light theme, no matter what theme is selected in Gnome.

Internet search, including searching through NixOS discourse, packages, options and Nixpkgs repo surfaced a solution.

Any ideas or tips how to achieve system theme integration for Firefox on NixOS?

This is my custom layout for the ZSA Moonlander keyboard.

The laout is based on the Bone layout. Bone is an optimized version of the Neo2 layout. Bone is created with English and German text corpus and originally provides different layers for letters, special characters, navigation, math symbols and even greek letters (for math mostly I guess).

I had to adapt the layout to the orthogonal arrangement of the Moonlander keys as well to my personal preferences. Oryx and the Moonlander do not support Unicode output, so I didn't replicate the math symbol nor greek layers.

The layout features

  1. The base layout of Bone, with custom meta/control keys and means to switch layers.
  2. The special chars layer, based on the Bone layout. I added some macros to input typographicly correct symbols on Linux.
  3. Classic layer: Qwerty based to allow other people use your keyboard and play games (WASD etc.).
  4. A “control” layer with F-keys, LED controls and a num block.

My layout is created to use with Linux and the Swiss German keyboard layout in the OS. Since it's based on Bone, it's useful to mainly write English and German texts as well as programming and math formulas.

If you don't use Linux or ch-DE, it can easily be adapted.
