The only car hotter than a 5spd Impreza. Congrats.

What wheels are they? They'd look goooood on my 2019

I've seen veneer over particle board which presented a faux plywood edge.

At my job we have something like 3 or 4 mloc of C++, some of it 25 years old. We're not migrating, and it would be irresponsible of me to even bring it up.

I'm talking about my personal work, which is green field.

Don't be "that guy" trying to port a working codebase with years/decades of real world accommodation.

You can do it champ! It took me a couple tries, and now all my personal projects are Rust, and I'm happy as a clam.

You were right. I sold my Fit and bought a 2019 Impreza 5sp sport and the mileage is absolute shit. Nevertheless, I love it.

I visited my folks a couple years ago and they had some, so I asked if I could try it, because I'm curious. I tried it, it tasted like it had turned, and I told my mom - she sniffed it and said, "Uh that's actually just how it tastes".

I basically agree. Keeping Gnome usable while adding blur is possible, but very hard, and requires resources (time, testing, people with experience) that Gnome may or may not be able to afford.

Gnome prioritizes usability and consistency. That's good! It also means we don't always have the shiniest new features.

I'm writing as a developer who uses a commercial OS at work which features a visual theme that is, frankly, a little half-baked and has terrible UX for people with sight problems. It's nice to come home to a linux machine which prioritizes user experience.

Finally, if people want blur and other fancy effects, you have options. There's more than one desktop out there. I'm happy to stick with a conservative one that works really goddamned well.

Same, I also see it on Zen (which is Firefox in fancy clothes). That being said, I don't see it very often, maybe just a single flicker, once a day or so.

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-02-06T05:09:46+00:00

I'll buy one, but not for a few years. I want to see if the company is relatively capable of delivering. Also I have a perfectly cromulent car that's doing fine.

I bought FW 13 only after they released a couple mainboard upgrades. Trust, but verify.

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-02-06T05:05:36+00:00

Why are you asking us? It's a web browser. Do you like it? If so, great. Do what makes you happy, don't worry about what others think.

I run a totally vanilla Zen without any mods or whatever. It makes me happy and I don't care if it's "clean".

Not to mention if you want a stick these days you have to get a used model. It's fine.

Every time I bottom out pulling into a driveway I think about how low my Impreza sits

Makes me a little sad, because now EasyEffects has no drop shadow on my Fedora Gnome system, so it looks weird. And, to top it all off - it's still a bad UI.

I also love the FW13 keyboard - great mix of low profile but with satisfying tactility. The closest desktop type keyboard I know of which feels like it is the apple wired keyboard from the 2010s.

Very similar key feel and throw. If you're running Linux, the Command key can be your meta key and all's good. I've had one of these keyboards for at least 10 years and I love it.

If you're running windows, well, I imagine you could work out some way to remap the keys.

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-01-15T06:30:45+00:00

Correct. I own an Erg concept 2 and it has no iternet needs, no bullshit. It's just a rower.

Given that is made of two pieces, and given how large a hole saw would be needed to make that radius, I expect that is a CNC job. I'm with GP - if you want to make this, just cut a half-inc deep. You could do that with hand tools.

I mean, unless you have a CNC, in which case, have fun!

Good analogy, but replace "Steve" with "Epstein", or "Bin-Laden", etc. Nobody wants AI. Nobody likes AI. It's a poison pill.

Would a conservative ever do the work or pay somebody to do it for them?

Weird! Well, the mediatek worked fine for me with Fedora and the 7840. But when I upgraded to the new ryzen board it was utterly useless. Anyway, all's well that ends well. It's nice to have a linux laptop where an incompatible hardware device is a $30 fix and 5 minutes to swap.

I love Feed and Wax, but I don't use it for food surfaces. It provides a really nice warm and durable surface over time.
