So much of this is overwhelmingly influenced by CRT displays. Hbomberguy’s Scanline episode applies here.

The game is 23 years old… I feel old now.

Holy shit, switching to PyArrow is going to make me seem a mystical wizard when I merge in the morning. I’ve easily halved the execution time of a horrible but unavoidable job (yay crappy vendor “API” that returns a huge CSV).

Really great advice!

I actually find that having the ultrawide has been better for my neck as I use the centre of it as a 16:9 coding area with two 8:9 sides for docs, browser etc. I move my neck less and only my eyes. It’s awesome!

I think you mean hard liquor.

I have this monitor and I still encounter Python code that I have to scroll horizontally for.

That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a generic Clevo laptop. I assume slimbook.es are just a system builder and don’t have anything to do with the KDE team?

Same. Honestly, distros really ought to symlink pico/nano to micro and make it the new default.

It’s everything a normal person needs from emacs/vim without all the crazy keybinds or modes. It’s just as easy as nano to make a quick edit but it’s also just a as capable and featureful as vim with a load of plugins installed and configured. It sadly however cannot be used as a music player or torrent client (yet) unlike the Do Everything And Do It Okayish emacs. (I’m still angry about the RSI emacs caused me in university - I still rebind capslock to ctrl to this day).

Try micro sometime. It’s a really nice halfway between nano and an IDE. You’ve got splits, mouse support, multiple cursors and more. Plus they provide binaries with no dependencies so I pull it down on any system I’m stuck with just vim and no package manager or perms to install stuff.

3.5e was so much better than 4e tho /d20

Is this a reference to something because I’d love to read it if you have a time to share.

I’m still using my 2014 MBP as a daily driver. They’re surprisingly long lasting. Only thing I’m rolling with still that’s older is a Lenovo X220 that I use to play a starship bridge simulator with haha.

You are not.

2012 MBP still going strong as a daily driver.

It’s nice to see some love shared towards Valve who have been incredible with sharing countless improvements upstream. KDE has benefited from Steam Deck development with improvements such as Discover, faster detection of new icons after app installs, and better udev event handling.

If only other vendors making their own distros had a policy of pushing upstream rather than forking. And with Valve introducing millions of users to Plasma and putting a Linux Desktop in their hands, it is truly fantastic times for Linux right now (HDR support, DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, Proton itself, futex, case insensitive filesystem ext4, spinlock, btrfs same-fsid, kdumpst, Mesa Vulkan driver, ACO, async page flip, gamescope, xdg-desktop-portal improvements, Udisks improvements, Network Manager, ALSA, Pipewire, SDL improvements).

All available to all distros thanks to Valve. It’s been over 10 years since they committed to Linux and they have truly put their money where their mouth was.

That’s so long as your install source/disk is multi regional. Most Windows install images are for a specific region unless you’re lucky to have MSDN or bought a non-crappy OEM Windows disk.
