Aug 05 I've seen "it always seems impossible until it's done" play out enough time that I just assume it's true for any new adventure. Whether it is or not, it's a better way to travel. 664 37 29 41.8k 178 .
Aug 05 Thrilled for @37signals to be the first corporate sponsor of Hyrpland! @vaxryy has built something incredibly special, and I think it's key we accelerate to offer developers an easy, compelling, and sexy-as-hell alternative to computing with Windows or macOS 🀘 1.2k 49 25 86.7k 260 .

Aug 05 Omarchy v1.11 brings a completely overhauled and unified menu system to controlling everything. Learning, capturing, styling, setup, install, removal, updates, and more. I really like where this ended up! https://t.co/FH7gIHIEfL 1.1k 59 76 92.3k 229 .
Aug 04 New entry-level AMD 340 from @FrameworkPuter is solid! Single-core Zen5 matches the HX370 (2,900 Geekbench, so close to Apple M3). Only compromise is a 25-30% hit on multicore (12K GB, also ~M3) over HX370, so HEY tests run in 2m55s v 2m5s. But it's $630 cheaper! ~$1,300 all-in. 191 9 14 34.3k 279 .
Aug 04 This is fantastic! Tailwind web components that work beautifully with Hotwire and vanilla Rails ERB templates. Great work from @adamwathan and his crew 🀘 https://t.co/O8AnnaQkUy 869 41 17 106.4k 177 .
Aug 04 I always wanted to love the NuPhy Air75, but found the actual typing experience tinny and clacky. Just got the V3 in, and it's 98% as good as my beloved Lofree Flow84! They copy'pasted the look, the feel, and almost all of the thock. And it has a 2.4ghz dongle! Nice. https://t.co/3pDG9TKpoO 795 11 99 105.3k 291 .
Aug 04 It's shocking how efficient Arch + Hyprland really is. A fresh Omarchy installation uses just 1.3GB RAM on boot. No wonder folks are making this work on machines with as little as 4GB! https://t.co/twOJdPLnD8 1.3k 41 96 98.6k 208 .

Aug 02 Never ceases to amaze me how often I see nerds neg themselves into a corner. You're playing yourself, fool!

Aug 01 @FrameworkPuter I don't say this to rag on the Mac, but just that the experience illustrates how easily we acclimate to our conditions. I never did find the Mac's trackpad all that special, but I know that many users do, and they really miss it when switching. Humans! 104 3 13 26.1k 268 .
Aug 01 It's brutal going back to the MacBook keyboard after a year+ of using the @FrameworkPuter 13 and the Lofree Flow84. The short travel never bothered me when I was all-in on the Mac, but now that I've lived with 1.5mm+ of key travel, I can't help think "how was this ever okay??" πŸ˜‚ 668 10 69 87.2k 279 .

Jul 31 Been a big fan of the TUI tools that Charm have been releasing. Both Omakub and Omarchy use their excellent gum command for menus, input, and more. Excited to give Crush a try! The aesthetic is certainly on point πŸ‘Œ 500 27 16 64.2k 214 .
Jul 31 Perfect illustration of the moving average of reputations. Once upon a time, Linux had problems with all sorts of hardware. Then it got compatible with almost everything out of the box. But the reputation hasn't caught up yet. It will soon. 688 28 42 66.8k 240 .
Jul 31 This is what's possible when you lower the barriers of entry. We don't have to sand every last challenge out of Linux, we just need to make it easy to get started with something that looks and feels awesome. 459 21 19 51.5k 207 .
