I'm not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.

Thanks, I have, but it's not a replacement for me. I'll try it again once a year though.

Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.

Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)

And a new discussion on Hacker News.

I won't vouch for the NRA under any circumstances, but yes, gun control in Arnerica (at least) has a lot of racist history.

And today it is, in addition to anything else it may be, one more tool of a racist criminal justice system, from enforcement to sentencing to treatment throughout.

Gun Control, Structural Racism, and the Prison State

Thanks so much!

Thanks, I had tried with a live system that uses a Wayland session and couldn't do it, and didn't know what live system uses Plasma 6 with X11.

Can the designer generate or import QML these days?

Two books that may be helpful:

• Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho
• Python Distilled by David M. Beazley

I'm more familiar with the former, and think it's very good, but it may not give you the basic introduction to object oriented programming (classes and all that) you're looking for; the latter should.

I've never had a Statamic site myself, didn't know about it till this thread. I like site generators but don't want to invest energy in ones that don't handle colors very well. I don't want to have to override colors, either as a user or developer, though I often do. For a an SSG anyway I want to be able to trust the tool to handle legibility.

I'm also terrible with HTML and CSS.

No. In addition to browsers' prefers-dark-mode setting, there is also the fallback foreground and background color choice, used whenever a website does not specify a foreground or background color. One common case is when viewing a plain unstyled site or txt file.

A dark-mode preferring user might choose for these fallbacks a light foreground and dark background. The problem is then that some designers will carelessly specify either the foreground or background color (and not both), assuming that their choice will happen to have good contrast with every user's browser preferences.

More low contrast examples from the Statamic docs:

In Firefox's preferences page those settings are accessed with the "Manage Colors" button just below dark-mode selection, and look like this:

Notice that I am not overriding any colors specified by the page.

The main site isn't made with Statamic?

Anyway the docs pages fail in certain parts, too, anyway:

I love Arch but you may also be interested to try Siduction for similar benefits with less change from what you know (it's still Debian).

FWIW Statamic (like many sites) fails my basic "is everything on the main site legible for dark-mode preferring users?" test:

When you try to activate the Cube effect with fewer than 3 virtual desktops, it will now tell you why it’s not working

Aw man. I used to use a 2 sided "cube" with compiz, just flipped the desktop around to the back side.

Thanks!

1. What's that driving game?
2. It makes me nervous that they call X11 legacy when AFAIK they may never implement window shading on Wayland.

Yeah, since broot is a full featured file navigator and operator, you can get anywhere once it's launched. I have alt+up bound to go up a directory, but there are other ways to get around as well.

Broot supports fish out of the box, and you can use its default fish launcher function to change your folder (alt+enter quits broot then performs a cd) or insert a path (the broot command pp quits broot then prints the path, like fzf).

I never learned fish scripting, but if anyone here has they may try to port my Zsh functions, especially to get path completion for partially typed paths. If you're doing that and have questions about the broot config side of the equation, I'm happy to try to help.
