I started using Helix editor a while back, and it hasn’t disappointed yet. One important thing I’ve not yet got to work is Python debugging, so for that I usually switch over to VSCode or PyCharm. Otherwise a very good editor.

Another good part is that nobody wants to use your phone, since they can’t type with it 😅

If you want to try something totally different, I can recommend Thumb-key. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, it can be quite fast to type with.

The Finnish translation states ‘Buy a european’. It should be ‘Osta Eurooppalaista’.

I sent the support an email asking about that, because I had to use my bank for strong authentication, which made it weird that they still required me to send a photo of my id. I said I don’t want to do that, and they just verified my account.

Feels like a font issue. Do you have e.g. nerdfont installed and in use in your terminal? You could check the config for plugins that makes that style, and check which fonts are in use. Could also be powerline fonts that are needed: https://github.com/powerline/fonts

Drove past a guy on the highway, driving 100kph, wondered why he first drove so slow, then sped up, then slowed again… He was reading a book while driving 🤦‍♂️ One other guy, driving 80kph hardly could keep the truck on his own lane, so I drove past him. He was filling in some paper forms, while he had a cup of, assumably, coffee in the other hand, and tried to keep the truck going straight with that. Jeez these people…

For me, Andreas Kling and his work on the SerenityOS and Ladybird browser is enjoyable to watch. I recommend watching the JIT-series, Jakt-series (his and JT’s programming language they created). Actually all the series on the channel are great 😄 Also JT’s videos on Nushell and his series on the NES-emulator written with Jakt are good.

Vikunja is one option. Selfhosted, open source and Trello-like.

At this point in time, since it’s under heavy development, I wouldn’t use it as a daily driver. I hope some day it will have enough features to compete with all the other browsers. I just wanted to bring Ladybird up so it gets some visibility in the world.

It’s an open source browser, continuously being worked on, started from scratch, so it’ll be a while before there are enough support for all the websites in the world. Even the JavaScript engine is built from scratch, which makes this project really exciting IMHO.

As I mentioned it’s still in it’s early days. They’re working on the standards and support for all CSS properties and JS at the same time. The pages don’t work yet, but things are moving forward every day. Don’t know if someone will work on an Android version, it’s open source after all. Currently it’s working on SerenityOS and Linux.

I just wanted to voice out that there are alternatives in the works, that has nothing to do with Google or the other big tech companies.

I want to add Ladybird as one option for a new browser. It’s still in its early days, but is under active development. I hope that one day it’ll be in such a shape that it could be used as a daily driver. It’s Open Source and built from scratch. It’s awesome to follow the development of such a big project!

Jeez, I had forgotten all about LORD! Thanks for bringing back such good memories! I used to play it all the time back in the good ol’ days.

Was always just lurking on Reddit, maybe had one comment or so. For some reason, when moving over here, I’ve been enjoying this so much, I’m no longer just a lurker.

Nope, not just you. Downloaded it and tried to start it, but kept crashing on me immediately every time. Switched to another app.

Using Connect because Jerboa just kept crashing on me at startup. Never got to test it out. Problems do exist in Connect, as e.g. I could not comment on this post in the app. Will check out Thunder and Lift off as well, so thanks for the suggestions!

Edit: I literally just found out that you have to hit the huge plus-button at the bottom right to add a comment… I always thought it was for creating a new post 🤦‍♂️
