I have been working on a Wayland Tiling WM and have thought about expanding more into the DE space. While it’s finally starting to get to a good spot, it’s pretty daunting to consider all of the other items that need to be developed for a fully-featured DE. Especially when it’s something I’m doing as a side project after my day job. I think for anything bigger it’d require financial backing, for which open source projects are still struggling to find a good solution.
And index it against inflation. 😉
What might be interesting would be to have it displayed, but grouped by instance. That way we could see some data and potentially uncover troll instances or attempts to brigade the conversation without opening ourselves up to personal attacks.
Also donate! It’s unfortunate that money is a requirement for campaigning, but it is and helps win races.
Wow, no need to make this personal. /s
After seeing him on The Daily Show last night, Pete Buttigieg seems like a good pick. He has the added bonus of not requiring a special election or interim replacement.
I know he’s old, but this could be a winning ticket. Keeping Harris as a compromise and continuity. Iwould instantly max out donations if he was picked. Which of course means it’ll never happen…
I think it’d be fine to keep her on the ticket as VP for a compromise. That way at least there’s some continuity.
Incoming ‘health concern’? 🤔
It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.
After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!
If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.
I did just order one to replace my MacBook, so I’m interested in hearing from others as well. The upgradability was a big plus for me beyond being able to have a mobile Linux machine for dev work.
Plants and animals don’t file tickets.
Yeah, lack of XWayland support has been an issue for me. Versioning the config API is something I’ve been considering, or at least ensuring backwards compatibility.
I’d be interested in other ideas or pain points you’ve experienced. Not to suggest I’ll ever have something production-grade, but my hope is to get to a point that I have a working daily driver and potentially share it with others.
There’s also Strata, Niri, and to some extent Cosmic. My problem has been that they tend to be very opinionated and limited in the customization of the layouts. Having used XMonad for a long time, I may be a bit spoiled in that regard…
I do think there’s a middle ground for configuration without requiring programming skills, which can be off-putting for many users. After all, most layouts are just a combination of rows and columns. 😛
I actually started working on one a few weeks ago. It’s amazing how easy it was to get the basics working. Still a long way to go, but it’s a fun project in the meantime and hopefully can result in something that supports my desired flow.
I’m not sure what’s worse. The engineer that thought this would work or the company that doesn’t do code reviews.
Sounds like someone has Perl Traumatic Stress Disorder. 😉
Likely because it’s

and there are better choices available.
