I have a PhD in economics. Saying that the field "pledges" to be able to predict the future is pretty disingenuous. You'd be hard pressed to find any serious researcher in the field with that level of delusion.

Changelog media is another good source to complement this rec. Longer form, as opposed to breaking news, conversations about many OSS related (and software development in general) topics. Some of their now defunct programs like Request For Commits were some of my favorites.

Not at all. I agree that's what tax funds are for and ought to be spent when necessary. I'm just making a more nuanced point that it's unfortunate that government officials and the justice system not doing a proper job has led to two adverse outcomes.

My point is more about public servants, such as the justice system, government officials, etc. not doing a good job. Everyone loses in this case. I'm not at all against government spending. It's just really unfortunate that (1) this woman's life was ruined and (2) we as a society also have to foot that bill.

Not to mention, damages paid by governments don't just come out of thin air. Contemporary taxpayers shoulder the burden, in some way, for the misdeeds of previous generations. An unfortunate reality. At the same time, I wholeheartedly agree that this woman deserves some form of additional restitution. It just becomes very tricky who actually bears that cost.

Well said

I feel productive just looking at this. Well done.

The reality is that virtually all widely used modern codebases contain at least some open source code (source).

I think because I'm so used to a laptop keyboard, uniform profiles just feel better to me.

I would want to see all upstream updates for anything installed on my system to avoid even considering a partial upgrade.

At first I was like how bunch upon second thought, there's a bit of addition by subtraction here.

Love a nice cool green theme! everforest?

So cool! I've been hoping to see one of these daughterboard orthocades in the wild. Have any extra parts? Would love to build one

Gorgeous! What's the image in the lower right terminal? Random? Or still from something animated?

Well said!

I love how you basically made a TUI by combining existing tools. Doing something useful without reinventing the wheel.

So well done! I just noticed the purple cable. It wouldn't be yours without it.

Just like retro beige in general. I think this set is 21kb, of which I'm a huge fan.

Retro beige is the best. Been searching for and wide and have yet to find a set I prefer

Thank you!! The thumb cluster is so comfortable. Just finished tweaking the firmware and will open source everything shortly

Perhaps not in as much need as TIA, but I like the concept behind https://academictorrents.com/ and seed what I can

You don't know why you prefer Archiso?

Have you checked out the quickstart guide? You need to fork manna_harbour/miryoku_zmk and use the workflow found in Actions > Build Inputs.

Personally, I prefer to take manna_harbour's excellent miryoku layout as a basis and write my own keymap, using the existing documentation as a guide. There's alot more trial and error but you'll have a better understanding of how the firmware works when you've got it working. I find the GitHub Actions-based workflow for building firmware overly complicated for my personal use case.

I second this. Until I have a solid use case for archiso, I strongly prefer tracking my dotfiles + installed packages and manually provisioning a fresh install.

Me too! I'm a sucker for light caps, muted/matte cases, and anything cozy/retro. Filament: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TR84CLG

Thank you! I'll add these to the original post (and hopefully this comment is upvoted to the top)

It serves a web GUI

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. If someone wants to point me towards an active/popular fork of this repo, I'm happy to add that to this post.

VS Code Server

I've been playing around with it some more today so you might want to look at the latest few commits to find something you like best.

added some borders and changed the hover effect. looks like this now in the main branch

Steal away! That's actually something I've been wanting to change lately. I've used the same basic config for so long.

I hear you. I find that some tools work great for me as CLIs (e.g. git, sys admin tools), andothers are more just for fun that I don't find myself using as much as proper apps or web clients (i.e. Spotify, RSS readers, email). It really just depends for me.

Matrix rain animation seeded by what you just typed

Lol that would be awesome

I really only glanced at the routing but be sure to run DRC! Looks like a fun board.

Enchanting!

I like the tactile home row idea. What are the keycaps?

I've been reading some more and I definitely want to give guix a spin. I guess that's the advantage of nix as a tool: you can always install alongside your distro's package manager if desired.

I'll have to give it a try. There are ways to get non-free software on guix? Is it just not officially part of the distro?
