Snap bad
  • Yeah, who'd hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS

    Maybe there's a reason canonical has to force it on their users

  • The IDEs we had 30 years ago... and we lost
  • Emacs had some "premade IDE" project I recall that I tried and wasn't that enthusiastic about.

    Doom Emacs, spacemacs, etc.

    And there are plenty of nvim "distros" like that (lazyvim for example).

    They make getting started pretty easy. I've been using Doom for years and never bothered to make a full config of my own.

  • Recommend me a scripting language
  • if there's something that I can adopt as a default goto solution without having to worry about how each system is packaged/configured.

    Go is probably your best bet. Simple to use, and you can compile it so it runs everywhere

  • sport watch supported by Linux/FOSS software
  • Lucky guy, I ordered it to Germany and they wouldn't let me use the non-eu warehouse (so they can get rid of their overpriced stock I'm guessing)

    Stopwatch - can't be minimised, can't see the time while it's open, restarts when you get a notification (the fixes have been sitting in the PRs for years)

    Notifications - don't get cleared when you clear them on the phone, clearing them on the watch doesn't close the notifications screen, answering your phone through the watch doesn't dismiss the call notification

    Heart rate monitor - essentially useless since it can't take periodic measurements, doesn't work great unless you're wearing the watch on the inside of your hand, but at least they've managed to finally read the sensor docs and program it correctly

    Step syncing is a massive pain in the ass and often requires you to "manually" sync them by walking around while keeping both devices active

    Battery barely lasts longer than a week even with infrequent wearing (and that's a massive improvement over the previous 3-4 days max)

    Lift to wake up usually acts more like shake to wake

    The UI is pretty bad overall

    There are like 2 half decent watch faces

    Horrific weight distribution and the shitty strap make it feel 10x heavier. Like, my automatic is almost 2x its weight and I barely feel it, while this crap is constantly reminding me it's there.

    The CPP OS doesn't let you chose what apps to activate nor does it have any way to load your code aside from compiling everything

    Updates are only mostly headache free if you use specific PC software. Keyword is mostly, I've had some updates take a bunch of attempts to install.

    That's just from the top of my head

  • sport watch supported by Linux/FOSS software
  • I call bs or it was before they started shipping from EU. You literally couldn't order to Europe or EU countries from the other warehouse while they were stocking it.

    It's got a lot more issues than that. It's utter trash unless you like want to practice CPP.

  • sport watch supported by Linux/FOSS software
  • It's complete crap, on the level of not being able to run the stopwatch in the background and having it restart if you get a notification.

    Also, it's 65EUR if you want to order it in Europe

  • Is thinkpad t480 need proprietary drivers?
  • Idk what's up with your fingerprint rant, but the drivers for that have been out for years. Not official ofc, but it works better than in windows.

    The issue is that it's essentially useless because Linux has no support for any type of fingerprint reader, so you can maybe set up your DM to log you in.

  • The Scrolls of Nix
  • Having everything in a single file is not really a problem.

    Having extremely outdated info on topics like below is a major issue though.

    One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers.

    Huh?

    (partially solved, will update when completed) Please help with an xfce/powerup bug: black screen after suspend/hibernate

    MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

    Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

    Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

    Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

    XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

    ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

    xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

    dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

    updates:

    I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

    Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

    I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

    Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

    Non-general purpose posts

    This community is:

    > A general purpose programming community for English speakers

    Language specific posts like:

    and ide specific posts like:

    are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

    Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
