Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense. Great takes across the board.

Omarchy has a lot of really nice keybinds, but there's a lot. The only way I remember them is if I use them, but I can't use them if I can't remember them. That's why I built Omarchy Key Promoter, which is basically Key Promoter X for Omarchy. So if you access something manually that has a set keybind - eg, typing in Chromium instead of using "Super + B" - a small toast will appear in the bottom right with the keybind you could've used instead. Also, it adheres to the keybinds on your machine, not Omarchy defaults, so if you changed any keybinds it'll still work. Repo:

I thought Rust was supposed to replace C and C++, not Java and Scala. But xAI's new x-algorithm repo tells a different story... and Rust is only a part of it.

Man, I love this stuff. If I want to code by hand, I code by hand. If I want to code with AI, I code with AI. If I want Omarchy, I use Omarchy. If I want to build my own rice from scratch, I do that too. Rust one day, Java the next. Don't forget why you got into tech in the first place. Remember that joy you felt writing hello world for the first time, or discovering that distro that just clicked, or trying out a keyboard that felt perfect? It was euphoric. So why try to take that away from someone else? Have opinions, argue about what's better, whatever. But I'll never understand being so judgmental toward someone for enjoying tech differently. Some of y'all just need to roll one up and watch Surf's up or something.

Since Omarchy Linux ships with Waybar's calendar tooltip disabled, instead of simply setting "tooltip": true, I decided to build one that fits Omarchy. It's called a tiny Waybar calendar popup for wlr-layer-shell compositors. It ships with a rounded style too, if that's more your thing. Written in Rust, btw. Available from: - AUR: `yay -S waycal` - Crate: `cargo install waycal` - Source Code:
