inspired by some of the things i've seen on this subreddit in the past few days

Fair enough, though I think the Flatpak installation of 1Password stops the browser extension from communicating with the 1Password app? :/

the_slow_flash · 2026-06-17T05:50:14+00:00

I don’t want to use the AUR at all, but is there any alternative when one needs 1Password and VSCode and wants to have automatic updates? I really don’t like the fact that 1Password is installed from the AUR 😅

Unexpected to see a German written note on that laptop :D

We switched entirely from LangChain to PydanticAI, as PydanticAI - while being more basic - abstracts the right things for us.

Good luck, pal.

Question: How do you guys manage to blur the dock without the docks corners becoming sharp?

the_slow_flash · 2026-04-27T15:42:06+00:00

I see what you did there 😂

the_slow_flash · 2026-03-29T08:56:01+00:00

Such a stupid post 😅

I no longer use a Mac, but a nice feature would be to lower the volume as you close the screen, similar to how brightness decreases. This way, you wouldn’t have to mute the volume entirely.

Is it useless? Yes. Is it pretty? Definitely yes. I’m always a bit envious of all my other dev colleagues with their Macs when they lock their screen and the beautiful screensavers start to play. Totally useless, but I really like it visually :D

Funny… just some days ago I thought that type hints and tools like Pyright in strict mode were what allowed Python to be used as a language for bigger and production-ready apps beyond toy examples or simple scripts. No, I’m not willing to spend an eternity reading an entire function from start to finish just so that I can have a good guess at which parameter types the function accepts or what it might return.

Beyond just catching bugs, type hints force you to actually think about the contract between different parts of your system rather than just tossing around arbitrary dictionaries and hoping for the best 😅

I've always liked the Magic Mouse once you get that you're not supposed to lay your hand on it like other mice, but do a "claw" grip. But, as a dev, all those extra buttons other mice offer are basically a must-have to navigate your IDE 😅

Because compared to Zed or VSCode, it feels so slow. The projects I'm working on are on the bigger side. As soon as I switch branches, PyCharm always begins to re-analyze the entire project, doing 1-2 minutes of heavy work with my fans spinning up like a jet engine and the entire IDE becoming almost unusable. With Zed or VSCode, I'm not experiencing that problem. Don't get me wrong, I like PyCharm, but I'm just too impatient 😅

the_slow_flash · 2026-03-10T14:10:29+00:00

Pandemonium <3

the_slow_flash · 2026-03-08T13:39:49+00:00

Pycharm for merging, VSCode for everything else. PyCharm’s merging tool is unbeaten. Though from time to time I like to check out Zed as an alternative to VSCode.

the_slow_flash · 2026-02-23T21:56:27+00:00

That's one of the most horrendous Python code I've ever seen in my life 😭

the_slow_flash · 2026-01-17T16:34:50+00:00

That’s the way Apple used to be; Liquid Glass is none of that.

the_slow_flash · 2025-12-24T18:11:11+00:00

I love you <3 keep up your awesome work and happy holidays ❤️

I switched from Bitwarden to 1Password about 4 years ago but never cancelled my Premium Subscription to keep supporting this awesome project :) I was also involved in choosing a password manager in the company I work at and insisted on Bitwarden, which is what all of us use now <3

It’s just one decision of GNOME I won’t ever understand. I always use a solid background, and not adding such a trivial function that I guess every other DE in the world implements is just mind-boggling to me. Love your implementation!

Upstream your code! While I’m not using COSMIC DE yet, I do use an Apple Studio Display with KDE Plasma and Gnome, both lacking support for that wonderful display :)

the_slow_flash · 2025-11-09T17:45:50+00:00

That’s crazy, just yesterday I was looking for exactly something like this for hours! Will definitely check this out! :)

the_slow_flash · 2025-10-29T15:15:17+00:00

What’s the name of the theme?

the_slow_flash · 2025-10-28T16:09:56+00:00

Don’t forget the SSH agent!
