De-Googled Pixel Tablet with GrapheneOS: A Review

https://player.vimeo.com/video/1049703503?color=ffffff

As someone who values privacy and free software, I try to avoid closed software and walled garden ecosystems as much as possible. Late last year I got rid of my Apple MacBook, which, ever since I moved back to Linux on the desktop over three years ago, served me solely as a photo (Capture One) and video (DaVinci Resolve) editing station.

However, after unsuccessfully trying to implement a new workflow for specifically the photo editing part, using free alternatives like Darktable, I realized that the workflow I’m striving for will require at least some non-free software and that running that on my laptop is not going to work. However, instead...

Vanilla JavaScript Tetris, because everybody should build a Tetris game

Everybody should be able to build a Tetris game, so this is my vanilla JavaScript take. Beware, it's not that easy, because it should feature wall kicking, Super Rotation System and empty lines above the ceiling.

Настройка NVIM

После написания заметки о переходе с VIM -> NVIM прошло много времени. Я поработал с разными готовыми сборками, но в итоге сделал собственную конфигурацию с чистого листа. Конфигурация в процессе работы менялась, что-то улучшалось, добавлялись и удалялись плагины, менялось мое …

The post Настройка NVIM appeared first on Ugolnik's blog.

UNIX maximalism and minimalism

The latest nixers newsletter linked to an article with the same title as this thread.
After reading it, I'm prompted to ask: is the trend to rewrite so many utilities in Rust or Go an example of minimalism, or of bloat?
I'm tempted to say the latter, because I don't care for the toolchains they bring along. Any time I look at the git repository for some tempting project and see references to cargo, I say no thank you. I dislike that almost as much as cmake.
(It's taken me years to grudgingly accept autotools. But...

Simulate a keyboard input delay with Phaser (why on earth? You’ll see)

I found a way to add an input delay to Phaser input. Why would I want to do this? I'll talk about this later, in the meantime I'll show you how to do it. Powered by Phaser 4, written in TypeScript, packed with Vite. Commented source code available.

A holistic perspective on intellectual property, part 1

I’d like to write about intellectual property in depth, in this first of a series of blog posts on the subject. I’m not a philosopher, but philosophy is the basis of reasonable politics so buckle up for a healthy Friday afternoon serving of it.

To understand intellectual property, we must first establish at least a shallow understanding of property generally. What is property?1 An incomplete answer might state that a material object I have power over is my property. An apple I have held in my hand is mine, insofar as nothing prevents me from using it (and, in the process, destroying it), or giving it away, or...

You Don't Need A Terminal Multiplexer on Your Desktop

Update

My monitoring alerted me of a traffic spike, caused by this article. It appears that after posting what I believe are somewhat interesting projects for the past months, it was yet again the sarcastic and somewhat controversial opinion-piece that ended up on Hacker News. Reading through the comments section, I understood that not everybody shared the humor that I have been trying to employ throughout this write-up. I also realized that it wasn’t obvious enough how this post titled “You Don’t Need A Terminal Multiplexer on Your Desktop” was a bait in complete contrast to content creator’s usual “You NEED Tmux NOW!”-type titles, and not me telling you to...
