  • I've used herbstluftwm on my main desktop for years. Love it. Manual tiling works well for me. Totally flexible and customizable. Switch between floating and tiling with a keypress, etc.

    And then on various other machines.

    • Xfce on my desktop at work that I don't use that much (work mainly from home) and just needed to set up quick. It's totally fine, like xfce always is.
    • Gnome on my tablet (basically a Surface knock-off). I don't really like gnome, but it's the only thing I've tried that works well OOTB for a touchscreen.
    • PekWM on an old macbook running debian. Great stacking WM. Super flexible, and the tabbed windows for any app are cool.
    • LXQT on an ancient (2009?) dual-core laptop that I mainly just use for writing in nvim. Works well for a simple setup.
  • Russian TV teases launch of Tucker Carlson show
  • I'm guessing you're not old enough to remember Ronnie Reagan calling the Soviets "the evil empire." Tensions were incredibly high in the early 80s, and the Republicans were super hawkish about it. I was a kid at the time and convinced we were all going to die in a nuclear holocaust.

    Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency
  • Although judging from reactions I'm seeing online, the liberal hot-take is that UFOs are a strictly Republican thing now and that questioning whether the gov't is hiding knowledge of UFOs is akin to being an anti-vaxxer QAnon disciple. Dana Milbank's shitty take in WaPo today exemplifies this trend. So fucking annoying.

  • WaPo: UFO reports demand greater transparency, lawmakers say
    www.washingtonpost.com UFO reports demand greater transparency, lawmakers say

    An hours-long congressional hearing on UFOs captured the intensifying public interest in the unexplained and how authorities investigate such reports.

    UFO reports demand greater transparency, lawmakers say

    WaPo finally responds with this hack piece. N.B. the anonymously sourced paragraph: > Several congressional officials familiar with previous testimony that Grusch provided in classified hearings have said they were unable to substantiate or corroborate his claims that the U.S. government secretly runs a program to recover and reverse engineer crashed alien vessels.

    Can you please ELI5 tmux?
  • The irony is that once you find your way around through the default keys and search a little you soon discover how easy it is to reset them with "sane" settings. Same for window frames, etc. But yes, there's definitely a learning curve.

    It always boils down to this
  • Admits? Acknowledging that destroying capitalism is key to addressing the climate catastrophe is like admitting the sky is blue (or orange and smoky, as the case may be).
