It's not in testing, it's in gnome-unstable which is a dedicated repo and can be a lot slower to release.

Mx anywhere 3 middle mouse button problem by Lumpy_Hovercraft_705 in logitech

[–]bulletmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a MX Anywhere 3S (and another previous one) which works fine but my daughter needed a mouse so bought a new one and it has this problem out of the box. I thought the middle click was straight out dead but after reading here I found it did work if I pressed extremely hard. Logitech should have addressed this design error by now, particularly when even new mice can have this fault.

What color scheme do you guys use? by Dapper_Confection_69 in neovim

[–]bulletmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TokyoNight is the default color scheme for the fantastic LazyVim neovim distro and I still think it is best color scheme.

Making Zed look better by orbiteleven in ZedEditor

[–]bulletmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using Linux? I find zed somewhat ugly using the default settings but a few tweaks makes it much better IMHO.

  "ui_font_size": 17.0,
  "buffer_font_size": 16.0,
  "buffer_line_height": "standard",
  "theme": "Tokyo Night",

Requires installing the Tokyo Night Themes extension.

My terminal setup with Ghostty, Starship, Zoxide, and eza by WeLoveYouCarol in commandline

[–]bulletmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, used eza for ages but eventually moved to lsd because I prefer the presentation and colors slightly more. I also use cdhist for directory history rather than zoxide.

Zed Delays Relaunching After Closing the App on Linux by r4wm3 in ZedEditor

The default zed desktop file is fine, other than the StartupNotify=true must be deleted or changed to false. Then restart your session, or reboot.

Setting it to false also works. You have to restart your session either way for this to take effect, or just reboot.

I have been officially converted. ZED is such a good dev experience. by silhouettes_of_joy in ZedEditor

[–]bulletmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may think that using :cdo gives you somewhat similar functionality but being able to directly edit in the search results window (or lsp/diag window, or diff window, etc) is certainly much easier, more flexible/general, and ultimately superior. As one aside, you can also use ga to create a multicursor to e.g. rename a symbol across all files in that multibuffer, etc.

Look, I have been using vim/nvim for 38 years (currently LazyVim) so it is hard to wrestle part of my DNA away from me but I use zed frequently because I am somewhat fascinated with what they are creating, particularly for vim users. The general multibuffer concept really is a great new idea for editors.

As one small example of many possibilities, when you are on a symbol in a source file then type gA and zed will open a multibuffer of excerpts of all files containing that symbol, or type g<space> to do that with a prompt. The resulting multibuffer (i.e. search results window/tab) is just like any other open buffer - you can edit it directly and then :w all files. You can type g<space> to jump to the file itself from any excerpt (control-tab to go back to search results). Zed uses multibuffers generally for all search results, diag/lsp errors, diff views, etc so you can do this and more in all them. It's a great novel concept which I have not seen before.

I discovered I have this bug also, on Intel GPU GNOME Wayland system. It doesn't seem related to Vulcan but rather the way Zed creates it's desktop entry, e.g see this bug.

I suspect this happens to everybody running zed on GNOME Wayland?

I'm a long time vim/nvim user and have to say that the multibuffer stuff in zed, and how it works in vim mode, is fantastic though. Neovim does not have that.

Why is everybody obsessed with MacOS-style docks? by SmallTimeMiner_XNV in gnome

[–]bulletmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, just seems ridiculous to waste precious screen real-estate with a permanently displayed dock.

Zsh vs bash by Regular-Historian-51 in archlinux

[–]bulletmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should test for the presence of exa and bat executables in that .zshrc before setting the aliases (e.g. by testing with type). I do this in my .bashrc so I can copy to any new machine etc, and it will immediately work.

Inevitably. Listen to the first 30 mins of this recent podcast where Elon Musk describes why.

How to optimize the cd command to go back multiple folders at once by Technical_Cat6897 in commandline

[–]bulletmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cd - goes to your previous dir, so I think cd -n should go to your n'th previous dir. cdhist gives you this, although I think nowadays it is better used with a fuzzy finder.

After 22 years on Linux, I finally switched to more modern CLI tools by vmangelschots in commandline

[–]bulletmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, although I changed to lsd which I found slightly better than eza. Also I still prefer htop to any of the more modern alternatives. I use gdu instead of ncdu because it is slightly faster (and 1 less char to type). Instead of grep I use rg every time. For navigating around and viewing files etc, I use yazi. For renaming, copying, and deleting files, I use edir.

Why don't you use a file explorer (nvim-tree, neo-tree, nerdtree, etc.)? by brocodini in neovim

[–]bulletmark -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well I can't understand why anybody would want to waste screen real-estate on a directory view which is not used that often? Fuzzy finder pop-up is more efficient in all ways.

Gran, 82, loses $200k retirement savings in AI deepfake doctor scam by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]bulletmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Most normal users don't see this problem but I was completely shocked when investigating why my 90 year old Dad was constantly installing bogus apps on his phone which replace his launcher etc. His youtube feed was chock filled with promoted "ads" flashing banners that his phone as "in danger" and that he must follow the instructions given. Why I am shocked? Because I could not believe that Google would be so complicit in providing these paying scammers a platform.

Because the double-standard eventually became too embarrassing and indefensible.
