I know what you mean, but there is bitrot. I'm currently trying dwm. Zero out of the three patches I downloaded from the website applied successfully. I'd call that bitrot.
Not sure how much I like "hand-write your own code from snippets" as a way to configure software.
One advantage of the patches not working is that manually applying a patch (usually quite simple) brings you some familiarity with the code. In my case this let me make my own modifications that were not available as patches. Altering window manager code is fun!
And while you have a good point, I don’t think this is what most people have in mind when they use the term “bitrot” (but I could be wrong). I say this because dwm as supplied continues to work perfectly without modification. The patches are enhancements contributed by third parties (as far as I know) and, as you’ve discovered, are not maintained.
(Also, once you have a working, patched dwm, it should continue to work forever, even if the patches that you used may no apply automatically to future versions of the base dwm.)
I tried jj, but I'm used to Sublime Merge. Doing version control in the command line was just too much repeated typing, as you keep losing information. In a GUI you always see the current state. You commit, it updates the display. A diff is a click away. Changing focus to type the commit message is a click away. No reason to ask the same questions again and again. Even with aliases like jjl for `jj log --limit 10` it felt too inefficient and annoying. Selecting individual hunks with the keyboard... I don't ever want to do that again. In SM it's a pleasure.
The git CLI might suck, but SM just doesn't. Looking forward to jj GUIs taking off. Or even better: jj getting integrated into SM.
You don't need to switch from git to jj. You just try out jj on your git project and see if it clicks. If you don't like it, you just don't continue using it.
I'm wondering why Firefox on Desktop won't offer Reader mode on this page. The F9 shortcut doesn't work either. Does anybody know? Is there a content length threshold? The text doesn't seem that short to me.
We hit some new lows over the week end with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger pointer, there was uh grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can... see how hard the president is taking this.
Reporter
My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir?
Trump
I think very good, and by the way right there you see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the new ball room for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for a 150 years, and it's going to be a beauty.
Kimmel
Yes. He's at the fourth stage of grief. Construction.
Demolition. Construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody called their friend. This is how a four year old mourns a gold fish, ok? And it didn't just happen once.
