I'll never get over how cool animated code folding looked when I first saw it. I love my terminal but man that's sexy. Reminds me of some of the original demos of Dion. I feel there is definitely room to reinvent how we view and edit code.

Absolutely nothing comes close to the thinness and lightness, combined with battery and performance of my M2 Air. And that's not to mention that Apple's touchpads are still so far ahead of everyone else that I'd like to laugh about it, but it's too embarrassing for that. It's not like I'm not aware of the linux/windows alternatives, it's that there simply are no alternatives...I'd rather deal with Apple's shit software instead of everyone else's subpar hardware, because software is changeable.

Also, since the Asahi team actually knows what they're doing, it turns out that their linux support on Apple Silicon is often better in a lot of ways than most windows-centric laptops. They take a long time to support certain hardware capabilities, but once they do you can be sure that it works flawlessly. Can't say the same about any other laptop I owned before (although Framework, System 76 and Tuxedo laptops are probably good in that regard).

Also, while the keyboard on my Dell XPS broke a whopping 5 times in the last few years, the Macbook Air has yet to show any signs of wear. The reason I got a Macbook is because I need to get work done and need a reliable machine for that. And what can I say, my god has it ever been reliable.

yup

MuseScore had a big UI rework with MuseScore 4, with an excellent video about the behind the scenes by Tentacruel (https://youtu.be/XGo4PJd1lng).

Although not sure if it caught people off guard as I'm not a user of it.

May not be the most popular choice, but I absolutely love Sublime Merge. Only issue I have is that it doesn't support workspaces. But I love how it doesn't abstract git away. Most actions in the UI are just called like the underlying git command, there are no non-git things like a "sync". Plus you can always click on the top to see which commands exactly were executed and with what output. And it's Sublime-typical wicked fast.

It's an unlimited free trial with the dark mode disabled. License costs $100 and lasts for 3 years of updates.

It is by FUTO's definition.

Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy. Whether you want to call it open source or not, as I said, it's far from proprietary, and certainly more than just source available. Dismissing it for that reason is quite unreasonable.

It is not. FUTO calls it "source first" which just means "open source but with rules against bad actors". Certainly far from proprietary.

I don't need a blog post to know this, considering I've been closely following hyprland since vaxry's first posts about it on reddit over 2 years ago.

People keep saying this happened only because vaxry got banned from the FDO, completely forgetting the fact that hyprland has used their own modified fork of wlroots for ages now. They've wanted to get away from wlroots even before this whole fiasco, it really just tipped the needle for them to finally pull the trigger.

Mind you also, the ban in no way prevents hyprland from using wlroots still. The only thing the ban did was prevent vaxry from contributing to wlroots upstream, which is damn unfortunate if you ask me.

That clitic broke my brain.

I like Sublime Text and Sublime Merge and use both daily.

Probably wasn't clear on that. I meant the 150% thing being a joke, not the jiggle physics. People having a problem with the inclusion of realistic jiggle physics is something that I didn't even consider tbh...
