I really dislike the way xdg-desktop-portal works though. Ive been totally unsuccessful trying to implement colour picking in Arch/Hyprland with it. The API is absolutely abysmal

And Tor!

I can think of a few reasons. People tend to overorder pizza more than other stuff. Pizza is also more robust than other foods, so it survives being thrown away more than other things. It's also very satiating, comprising bread, dairy and meat.


Right, but I'd expect it to be the same with fancy pizzas. I just don't get the point to target cheap pizza place in particular if you're going to dumpster dive


It might just be that there are a lot more cheap pizza locations than fancy ones.

This fellow also stays with friends.


Not on mobile


Yeah on mobile


Great article. Me personally, I just learned my PIN...


I don't understand the modern fad of choosing a noun+"bound" for naming games. Whenever a game has a name like this it really puts me off, because it just screams "I don't care enough about my game to choose a unique name for it". And in many cases, it doesn't even make sense. "Arrowbound"? What's that even supposed to mean?


Not a fan of earthbound, ey?


Agreed, seems like a lot of unnecessary girating just to implement something that would've been much simpler + cross-platform with a custom UI toolkit and something like opengl. Tabs are like UI 101


Easier integration with the desktops accessibility and input stack? When using GTK, you would probably also get out the box better performance/power on Wayland since it can take care of partial surface updates etc for you.


Luckily the UI and the core (libghostty) are separate so you can girate out your own UI 101 version without GTK if you'd like.


And someone already did: https://github.com/gabydd/wraith (Wayland-only frontend, extremely lightweight). Super cool.


I was robbed at knifepoint on Oxford Street at about 3am while drunk, and let me say, there had to have been about 100 cameras pointed in my direction at the time of the mugging. Despite all this, the police told me nothing could be done because they were unable to acquire any useful footage at the time of the robbery. I lost a lot of faith in the Met after this incident, or that mass CCTV was even really that useful in getting a prosecution.


Lack of GPS is the dealbreaker for me. Otherwise this would be an insta purchase -- I bought the Time in 2014, and was hoping for a "smartstrap" with GPS back then, but when it never came I slightly lost interest.


Just out of interest, what is the benefit of GPS on your watch if you already have it on your phone?


With a GPS (GNSS) receiver on the watch you can get instant position and speed data without having to maintain a stable Bluetooth connection to the phone. Some athletes prefer to record activities on a watch without having to bring a phone. And in certain races, such as most sanctioned triathlons, phones aren't allowed on the course at all.


Sounds like a use case for a fitness watch, not a Pebble.


Or to put it another way: a Pebble would cover more uses with a GPS. They're clearly not expensive nor necessarily profligate with battery. My now 5 year old Amazfit bip, which was cheap as chips, still gets 3 weeks of battery life with a daily gps-mapped run.


Running without a phone.


Quite. Phones & watches are mutually exclusive from my pov. The whole point of the watch (especially when running) is not to have to carry a phone.


Does it at least have heart rate?


It does


Code works just fine with Hyprland in my experience, you just need yo tweak the interface scaling. However, I've taken the opportunity to learn neovim since switching to arch/Hyprland, since the emphasis is much more on keyboard-centric input. Can't say I miss vscode much, other than multi cursor.


Multi cursors is in the way for 0.12 I think
