See the next steam sales in your calendar!
  • That is the website where I first found about this, but I was disappointed when I couldn't find a calendar or rss feed for it.

    Hey!

    I found out that Steam announces their next sales almost a year in advance. After discovering this, I started looking for a service that allows me to see the next steam sales right in my calendar. However, I couldn't find anything, so I quickly spun up a solution of my own.

    It's basically just a Rust project that generates a '.ics' file from the latest information (manually entered, as I couldn't find an API for this). The repository also hosts a workflow that automatically builds the file after an update.

    You can add this to your own calendar using the following URL: steam_sales.ics.

    Hope someone finds this useful.

    Why is the JavaScript ecosystem switching to Rust?
  • But that's not true for all channels. I quite like this one, and when I like the content, I'm a little less harsh about the clickbait because I understand that it may be required to make meaningful money on YouTube.

    The Linux Foundation has practically abandoned Linux
  • Yes, it's true, the linux foundation is less about linux, but more about "Decentralized innovation" (Directly from their website). I don't think that's a bad, thing, as it's also important to create open source software for other platforms and other technology.

    Now more than ever, ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment
  • I think before that the DE was somehow built-in and tied to the chrome browser. That's probably the reason why they're saying this, it's because the DE is now its own application.

  • The text doesn't show up when you type in a password, but it still registers it. Instead of showing asterisks it just doesn't show anything, but you are entering a password. Just type the password blind and press enter.

    What is your favorite terminal emulator.
    • Yes, you can absolutely use a WM without a DE. A DE is usually just a set of preconfigured and pre-installed applications. If you use a WM like i3 etc. you just get something that draws windows, and no settings and bluetooth applications
    • It influences my choosing because window managers usually don't come with a terminal, and you have to manually install a terminal emulator. But on desktop environments I use the default terminal, although I could also install kitty.

    What is your favorite terminal emulator.
  • I don't know if I'm correct, but in my head, a window manager JUST manages windows. Gnome and KDE also manage windows, but they also contain applications for settings, printing, etc. Desktop Environments also have window managers, but they have more applications on top.

    What is your favorite terminal emulator.
  • When I'm using a tiling window manager, I use kitty, because I like its speed and support for font ligatures. When I'm using a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE I usually don't use the terminal at all, but if I need it, I use the default emulator.

    a side project while learning coding
  • You can't just post a link to a GitHub repo without a README and no description, I don't want to look at your code and try to figure out what it does.
