On: Tell HN: Another round of Zendesk email spam

Thank you for letting us know, got a bunch of those in the last two hours, like one each five minutes, but it seems they've stopped (at least for now).

On: The dank case for scrolling window managers

[Gualdrapo]

Been using it for like two years now. It's great. No need for anything else.

On: KDE's new Plasma Login Manager is tightly bound to systemd

[Gualdrapo]

I hope there can be ways to circumvent this limitation and make it usable on non-systemd installs, i.e. with elogind (systemd's "logind extracted out to be a standalone daemon") https://github.com/elogind/elogind

[hnlmorg → Gualdrapo]

There’s nothing to circumvent. Just continue to use you current login manager like you’ve been doing for years already.

This only affects a new login manager. Not existing ones.

On: Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app

[Gualdrapo]

Knowing there are Apple fanboys around HN (I got downvoted for saying the liquid glass thing and the iphone air were pointless) I fear they will take your comment seriously

I am serious though

On: Xfwl4 – The Roadmap for a Xfce Wayland Compositor

[Gualdrapo]

Enlightenment. No, really.

If they ever move away from GTK (due to the GNOME shenanigans GNOME-izing GTK) I wish Englightenment and Xfce were together a single thing. But that's if I could ask the Tux genie three wishes.

[torstenvl → Gualdrapo]

GTK4 is still pretty usable without libadwaita and all its Gnome-isms.

But frankly I think forking and maintaining GTK3 is preferable to moving to EFL or Qt. GIMP is still on GTK3. MATE is still on GTK3. Inkscape is still on GTK3 (but GTK4 work is in progress). Evolution is still on GTK3.

I think GTK3 will be around for a long time.

[silon42 → torstenvl]

+1...

Hell I wish EFL was more used in general. I was thinking QT (mainly because I forgot about EFL) but that's much better

Cries in KDE3 -> KDE4

On: Show HN: An opinionated fork of micro, built for vibe coders who enjoy code

I don't follow. That seems to be heavy on bloat. Or maybe I'm just happy with vis (https://github.com/martanne/vis). I don't know.

On: String theory can now describe a universe that has dark energy?

[Gualdrapo]

> given the uselessness of the field

It's not useless, though. String theory can be a fad (or "difficult to prove", per Witten) but some of the mathematics used in its research or "trying to prove it" have been used in other fields.

On: Use social media mindfully

[Gualdrapo]

I wish "Hacker News front page but the titles are honest"[0] was a real thing. Your TLDR does it for this article.
