  1. It was my desktop he referenced; and the nice thing about tiling WMs on Linux (aside from the fact that dwm + dmenu resolves all your issues) is that I can segment tags by color if I like then only merge them if I need, or I can just switch between them. I'd recommend you check out tiling WMs though, since they *can* be configured to be all light mode and additionally allow you to resolve essentially all of your issues (with the caveat that learning minimal POSIX shell is necessary)
  2. Only at serious speed costs.
  3. As I see it, some things are made for the CLI (text editing, music, file browsing) and some things are made for the GUI (web browsers, image viewers, &c.) and the primary issue is the confusion of one for the other.
  4. For most non-pointing interfaces, the keyboard is superior to the mouse. The predomination of the mouse has made it popular to contort fundamentally non-pointing interfaces into artificially pointing ones (this is partially what plan9 did), e.g. UWP winning out on windows over UNIX-style scripting.
  5. Thanks for linking, I may contrib!
  6. I've been thinking for awhile of writing some sort of middleware that takes scankeys as input and returns vim operations as output, since I like vim bindings so much (I don't believe any software I use lacks at the very least HJKL). I've never been able to get into Emacs, maybe someday once I finally fall for the LISP meme all the way.
  7. Sam was always intriguing to me, partially because I knew cat-v when he was still active, however I could never get over the mouse-necessity of plan9. I don't own a mouse as of now, it would be very obtrusive to have to use a three-button mouse.
  8. This I did find very peculiar; part of what delayed me learning Scheme was that everyone who proselytized LISP used Emacs as if it were necessary (it is not). But I know lots of FSF-alike people who don't know any LISP (sometimes who don't know any C, even) who like Emacs. Is evil mode Emacs' vim-editor?
  9. To the contrary, Emacs is an excellent userland OS lacking only a decent editor (the opposite of plan9)
  10. I may not be the best person for giving advice on this subject, since my desktop looks like the attached image, however I am a competent X programmer, that is, the most common rendering system for Linux. I believe I could improve/create most of the concepts that Ross expressed as being unfinished/desirable. I'm biased in favor of keyboard shortcuts (each key-press is an inherently less effortful action than any mouse movement) but the idea of a mouse-driven selection environment isn't so bad. I may get started on it soon; if so, I'll attach the repo here.
  11. I'm writing a game at the moment for which I've developed a more complex RNN system.
  12. Hiya all, I'm trying to build up some pixel art skills and would like to find some out-of-the-ordinary references. What games do you all know with some great pixel art? Doesn't have to be old, just in that style.
