I used Zed for a few months a while ago. It feels quite fast, good extension availability even for how new it was, and offered a comparable experience to VSCode, but without the bloat. Sadly it quickly started going down the AI editor/LLM infested route and most development went into that, meaning actual fixes and improvements were getting slower (part of my reason for leaving it). It also introduced a few unwelcome changes to their ToS, starting the forks you see today. But overall it was a pretty nice editor, it gets out of the way and lets you focus on work instead of tinkering.

Had to stop using it due to an intense graphical flickering when running on Sway that took way too long to fix, so I switched back to neovim while waiting for a fix and just stayed there.

This would go hard as a metal album cover

Regarding the API, Spotify does allow free access, but some content and features are restricted to the official apps. For example, personalized playlists such as Weekly Discovery, release radar, daily mixes and the like are not available and return an error. Rate limiting is ok for a personal use case with a custom api key, and maybe some small apps can stay under the limit; developer agreement is also quite restrictive, so they have a bunch of reasons to block you.

Source: I’ve used the API before and built a small tool to help me export my top listened songs and some recommendations to a list, nothing heavy but still made sure to read the docs needed just in case. Still managed to hit the rate limit with a few tens of requests in a minute, though the way they do limiting is weird and difficult to account for.

Or simply a newer kernel version could do the trick

*awkward pause* See what I did ther… *video cut*

Traslated titles are trash, at least for Spanish. Those are usually confusing due to the wrong translation of technical terms or even common words/slang. They can’t be bothered to give you anything better than shit-tier google translated text.

Dearrow has an option to disable them and it’s an absolute godsend; though I’m not using it now for performance issues.

Has Carbon been used anywhere noticeable? Last time I heard of it was when Google announced it few years ago, haven’t seen anything getting written or ported to it, though I haven’t read much into it so I might have missed many news.

That last one is going to be so good. Months ago I ran into that while porting the “Crafting Interpreters” java-based interpreter into python. It took me a few hours to figure out that one of my modules was colliding with “token” in the stdlib, a module I didn’t even know existed. Glad it’s being made clearer.

Naviary on youtube has made just that. Their videos are amazing, mostly going over the theory created by having an infinite chessboard (“mate in omega” and it’s sequel are mind boggling), and some are about the technical aspects of implementing infinite chess. Highly recommend watching them.

Nowadays you’re most likely to find an electron cashier than any other.

And just the effort of painting every one of those pixels one by one, it’s not like we have some magic tool to fill an image with the same color and call it a day.

Uh, makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

So in my case it actually is Xiaomi being Xiaomi, screwing it’s power users, or any users in general.

Such a dumb restriction. I tried a new launcher a few weeks ago just to find out it would remove the gesture controls, which I’m already used to, had to go back to stock. I thought it was more of Xiaomi’s attempts to lock you in to their shitty ecosystem; quite sad it is like that even on other devices.

I read about typst a few weeks ago. I no longer make math- or formatting-heavy documents anymore, but if I had had this while I was in university, I would’ve loved to use it.

LaTeX is nice, but there’s some things that are an absolute pain to get right or make them look like you want to.

I’ve been playing Drill Dozer (GBA) on my phone via Lemuroid. I looked into it after reading it was made by Game Freak and thinking “Hold on, they make non-Pokemon games?”. Finished the main story line today, will try to 100% it now. A very fun game with some interesting mechanics, good story and art style. Playing it on a phone can be challenging at times, since the game relies heavily on L/R triggers, but a good grip/finger position or laying the phone on a table sometimes helps a lot.

Other than that, I have been playing some old NES games from my childhood, and a few others I’ve missed out. Recently played Bomberman, MegaMan and Mike Tyson’s punch out.

In recent times the developer has been showing some serious miscommunication and other issues regarding their apps. Just look at their terrible handling of the vulnerabilities found in their file manager’s pdf reader (See his responses to the report)

Since around that time, I’ve been looking for alternatives to their apps, but I’ve kept using some of them because I couldn’t find anything that feels as good to use. I guess now I’m forced to really look for those alternatives, or see if there’s any serious fork that still gets actively maintained weeks from now.

Tengu. I find it very fun to battle against, with everything that goes on during the fight with the fire waves, bombs, shocking bombs, teleporting; it’s just so dynamic and slightly unpredictable, also having very distinct boss fight phases is great.

Move the camera in all the way so that the 4 center squares are the only ones visible, those are the important ones anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
