What is great about #i3wm is that if you want the application switcher to also include info like the time and what it's like outside, you can just tweak some config files, set up a systemd timer to run a script that fetches the data from wttr.in, and you get the time and weather right there in your application switcher.
What's not so great about i3wm is that you can tweak some config files, set up a systemd timer to run a script that fetches the data from wttr.in, and get the time and weather right in your application switcher, then start thinking about some other tweaks you could do, and hello it's 1 in the morning and you haven't actually done that actual thing you sat down at the computer to do.
(What is brilliant is that the person who actually developed the #rofi application switcher will help you when you ask on the github discussion page).

@marshray
Yup, there's a rofi mode that switches between running applications
rofi -show window

in reply to stib

Oh, also if you want to switch between the application launcher and switcher (or calculator, file browser, or any of the other modes), you can ctrl+tab while the rofi window is open (or you can add a mode switcher in the theme).
It's very #DIY-able, I'm really enjoying it compared to #Gnome

The more I think about it, the more fucked up it is that the anti-trans tidal wave during the election began entirely as the result of a poorly-reported CNN segment by @kfile.bsky.social. www.readtpa.com/p/cnns-misha...

It was after that report that Reps went all-in on "Kamala cares about they/them." And because they did that, and because that's what Democrats seem to have decided cost them the election (zero evidence that it did), trans people are facing an onslaught of anti-trans bills that will probably pass.

ah great to have the option to use non-symbolic icons back in kickoff.

While symbolic icons may look nice at first it's a usability regression. After some time I noticed I was not seeing the icons anymore and my brain had switched to grepping the category names because it was faster. I think having colored icons is a very powerful visual cue we shouldn't give away so easily.

Thanks !

Glad to see the TTY switching no longer brings up a strange audio output pop-up. I've had that when the desktop freezes with playing Steam games and I switch from the TTY back to the Plasma desktop!

I posted "You are an evil man" in the replies to @zuck. Funny how Mr. "Free Speech" can't take negative talk about himself.


"At Meta’s offices in Silicon Valley, Texas and New York, facilities managers were instructed to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms, which the company had provided for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men’s room and who may have required sanitary pads."

Sure seems like this is about way more than just "free speech, huh

the fella does a decent dot connecting point, similar to my "it's murky at "the top"" bit, albeit a bit more discouraging of seeking and scrutinising, a bit more defeatist and absolute, than mine.
