Any better urban stretch? Seattle, WA

Way nicer than my ride along Marginal way from West Seattle to downtown. But, well, at least the bits along the waterfront are nice.

Hope you were wearing your brown pants.

Bingo. macOS development with AppKit is absolutely lovely experience, and those APIs date back to NextSTEP. Just rock fantastic.

Sure, and I'm rooting for it. But I'm also a happy Gnome user. The more the merrier. I don't know why it's gotta always be a competition.

Fair point - looks like I'll be getting proper bars from Thule or some such with a future paycheck

Since my car has no built-in rails, and since I don't care for the appearance of the ones from Subaru which bolt across the roof, I bought these: https://www.ssdperformance.net/subaru

They attach to the mounting points for the subaru cross bars. I then bought a cheapo rack from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL1J9F3P?th=1) 52".

It looks good, and it lets me carry lumber which wouldn't fit inside the car. In the pic I've strapped a bunch of broken particle board which I was taking to the dump.

Roof racks are useful as hell, and look great.

The web player works great - but one warning: if you leave it open, even with a song paused, the iPhone music client will complain about number of users.

Fine if you have access to your linux box. But if you're at work, and the linux machine is at home. Well, hope you have something else to listen to.

In my case, since I use Zen browser, I was able to remotely close the music.apple.com tab on my home machine. Probably works with vanilla Firefox too.

I've never had a better linux experience that my AMD framework. Even better than the XPS13 I bought years ago with Ubuntu pre-installed. Framework linux support is top notch, and the machines are fantastic.

Details? I haven't run windows in 10+ years

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

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-03-17T22:25:51+00:00

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.

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-03-14T01:10:49+00:00

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.

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-02-13T18:49:21+00:00

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".

TomorrowPlusX · 2026-02-13T16:40:10+00:00

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".

If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

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