i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.

instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don’t need the extra login step into my user session.

i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.

i don’t have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.

not sure for i3, i think foot is wayland-only. but i have the same setup with sway and am very happy

since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea…

maybe my comment about gitlab didn’t come across right. i do find oxide’s model to be better and agree with their criticism of gitlab’s.

and as much as you are absolutely right about labour being treated much like any other commodity required for a company to extract value, that is precisely the issue being pointed at here, isn’t it?

we should differentiate and acknowledge that people are more complex than that. their experiment seems to create an atmosphere where work is being done despite compensation not being used as an incentive and instead to enable the worker to do the work.

i personally don’t think this should be a responsibility of a company at all, but rather society (or the state) should assure these conditions… but we are stuck with capitalism and this is a step towards something better :)

I always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.

except XML xD

i am currently testing https://iamb.chat/ it’s a bit unique in how it does things but promising of you’re into TUI and vim

systemd is great, but being disingenious isn’t helping anyone:

chrony -> sd-timesyncd […] one less daemon

just because it ships with systemd doesn’t mean it magically runs without it’s own process

what’s the app? looks like it could be discord? running in flatpak? do you find the emoji font with fc-list | grep emoji? do other apps show emoji?

you can configure mako to not show notifications and it will keep a history of them as well. not to discredit your project but makes me wonder if something like this can be built with some bash scripting :)

there was a post on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml not long ago, if you’re looking for more suggestions: https://lemmy.ml/post/2006550

i use miniflux (you need to host this yourself, no idea how nice it would be to use locally) and then miniflutt on android

unless we’re talking about my main machine, which runs gentoo, i’ll always default to alpine. super solid base system and packages. super accessible when it comes to upstreaming packages. I only wish they had s6 as an option for init/service manager

ahh yeah, i heard nvidia can be a pain in the ass with sway/wayland. did you try sway when you still needed the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag lol?

but i remember reading about some new driver that made things much better… no idea though i’ve always been on intel-only laptops

mixes dpi

never had any issues with that. although i don’t think i even have anything going through xwayland at this point

apps to interact with ppl

zoom? or something electron-based?

xcape

i don’t know the tool, but the readme sounds like evdoublebind might work, it’s rock solid for me, replacing caps lock with escape on tap/alt om hold

screensharing

i feel you. when i started out with sway i had this horrible hack running a vnc server and a x11 vnc client on the same machine because pre-pipewire browsers could only share x11 windows haha

but nowadays that works really well. only zoom is still a little annoying ux wise. sometimes their screenshare popup just disappears leaving me with no way to stop a share gracefully.

sway + bemenu for building my own utilities

btw what distro are my fellow sway users on? i’m loving the control i get over what i install with gentoo

how is everyone interacting with audio, networking, bluetooth?

why i3 and not sway?

huh, was it not before? i thought the entire lx* space was canonical’s thing

is forgeign-toplevel-list related/analogous to wlr-foreign-toplevel-management?
