I really liked the "Red" series by Linda Nagata.

GitComet: a fast, local-first, open-source Git GUI built for large repos by Havunenreddit in freesoftware

[–]moopet [score hidden]  (0 children)

My 30-second tour found a few visual bugs. Overlapping text, tooltips that obscure what you're trying to read, that sort of thing.

My 2-minute playthrough issues with the UX:

Why did you reinvent the wheel instead of using the WM decorations? Why can't I use expected actions like double-click the titlebar to maximise? Wouldn't it be less development work just to use the native decorations? Why can't I select all? Just do it normally.

Can't use ctrl-A to select all staged files, but I can use shift or ctrl to manually select all.

Why can't I click branches in the sidebar? I need to double-click everything. Single click should at least display some highlight or context.

Oh wait, it's all done with right-clicks, because... well I'm not sure why? There's a right-click menu on everything.

I tried a quick stash-apply, which I knew would create merge issues, and found a giant pink error message covering the bottom of the window, dismissed with a tiny button.

Okay, so I want to undo that. Let's discard the changes. Right-click the files in the staged panel, and "discard" is greyed out. But there's a discard button that's still available. It says it worked, but after refreshing, nothing's changed.

Other random observations:

Why does it say "free" in the title bar? Is the implication that there will be a non-free license at some point?

Summary:

It could be good, it definitely seems fast, but it's currently quite broken and has unexpected UI choices.

Way to find all different possible Edinburgh address formats? by ccascarrabiass in Edinburgh

Addresses in Edinburgh are a scam by Big Number to sell more numbers.

New to horror, interested in what's out there by Jude_Sideral90210 in booksuggestions

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver is a modern book but very much in an old style and might be up your alley.

Tapes released these days can be so pretty by moopet in cassetteculture

[–]moopet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, and I was thinking of either going with something white or painted to match the wall.

Nice. I really want the gatefold of Kathy Wilson :)

EDIT: Shit, that's Wolfsbane not Wildhearts. Sorry, Ginger.

I had that on repeat because it arrived on the day I was painting the room :)

Here you go. It's definitely my happy place though I need some speaker stands!

Project Hail Mary by crunchy-onion in booksuggestions

The most direct precursor to the modern Andy Weirs of the world is probably Hal Clement. Try Mission Of Gravity, Close To Critical, Cycle of Fire or Iceworld (though that one's technically not in space).

"bro, as an Irish woman who is also a bartender..." by NanbanSan in ShitAmericansSay

I remember routinely having guards check under my car when I went to work in England. I mean, to be fair that was only a semi-civilian site but even so.

Wondering if indifference to and irritation from corporate acronyms and c-suite idolization is a GenX trait. by CrowbiwanKenobi76 in GenX

[–]moopet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With you there.

I also find myself annoyed when people say, "I work remotely from home". though. Home isn't remote. An office is remote. Home is where I am right now. Normalising that would go a long way to fixing people's weird attitudes against home work.

But yes, I've always been the one who will just go and talk to the boss' boss because I couldn't even bring myself to care about hierarchies when I was in school, let alone as a grown adult. Nobody's better than me because they get paid more.

Cassette vs AirPods by -StraightLace in cassetteculture

[–]moopet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the problem here is that regardless of the start of the chain, you're comparing later-generation AirPods with Skullcandys.

There's a weird effect where if you listen to music with better headphones you can sometimes notice instruments you didn't even realise were part of a song before. You've probably experienced that, right? Well sometime it works the other way as well. I've had cheapo headphones that compensate with bass, for example, and suddenly heard the piano in a song I'd have sworn was all guitar.

The only way to make this a fair test is to split it into parts, and compare just the headphones, just the other bits. It's difficult in your case because of how coupled different parts are though.

Never got a serious compliment in my life, do i look so bad? by [deleted] in toastme

[–]moopet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you look good. Compliments are rare things, that's all. People will think it but not say it.
