My previous house, which was a pretty big "modern" house, on 7th floor, had no tree in view, I didn't realize how it affected me, but everyday I grew more cluster-phobic, days went I was having sudden panic attacks, with sudden imagination of being stuck in a closed box.

Now we changed to a much smaller house on 5th floor, it's so much older than the previous house, but it has a lake side view full of trees, I can look out and see them from my window.

And now I realize in some extent, how badly the previous house affected me. My cluster-phobic episodes are completely gone, and I don't have those stuck feelings any more. I know I still have it, i feel it coming if the door knob gets slightly stuck, and takes little bit more time, but other then that none of the actions that used to cause it, not causing it anymore.

In our city we build jail cells for house in the name of safety. So all windows of the house are grided with no way to get out of the house in case the front door caught fire. But these trees gives me peace. I don't have to look at them, knowing that they are just by the window, makes me so much relaxed.

I still can't fathom how people can cut them down


Working on my simple, frictionless journaling tool, that focuses on simplicity, and being lightweight, but still quite powerful.

And I plan to have more features like: time tracking, kanban, read later links, scripting etc, in the same simple interface.

The important part is, data is and will be stored in a single text file. No online interaction.

Right now you can

  - Take notes
  - Create to-do/mark them done
  - Organize notes/todo in projects or tags
  - Inline calculation using fend [1]
  - Powerful undo/redo
  - Archive notes that are not needed

You can check the screenshots of the app here: https://tmahmood.github.io/fluffy_sparrow/

Right now there is no demo version.

Nice! There's a typo on your website:

> while still packing quiet the punch.


Now i have a demo version of the app, You can try here: https://github.com/tmahmood/fluffy_sparrow/releases/tag/v0.0...

Let me know what do you think


Thank you. Corrected

I'm using a OnePlus 7, as my daily driver. Because it was bootloader unlockable, and LineageOS exists, I still can use it. And it performs respectfully, and serves my purpose. Except, my banking software, and digital payment applications, all works

So, OEM just have to let us unlock the bootloader, just let us unlock it after they stop selling it, and it would reduce so much waste.

They are just so greedy


Maybe, but it can't make the gameboy code look like a gameboy too, unless asked to, and that probably would not work even. That's the difference between an LLM and a human, and that's what make this competition worthwhile.


Hey, at least vi vs emacs is fun, no matter how crappy as an editor Emacs is, no one is getting paid by privacy invasive corporate, to sway people, to cash out more money

Hey! I am Tarin, I have been a software engineer for 15+ years. Developing software is my passion. I can dive in to any codebase and figure it out quickly, find any issues you are having, and solve it. I am also pretty good at cleaning up AI slops.

I am looking for freelancing projects, give me your challenges, issues, I can't 100% guaranty that I WILL solve it, but I will definitely find something that will help us solve it.

Please DM me!


And I have one that I use as thin client for my desktop, Linux made it usable! 10 year old surface pro 3, 8 to 9hr battery life, takes less than 20s to boot up to Gnome, no issues browsing on Firefox, it's a solid device on the go. And to my total surprise, it retained charge even after almost a month of no usage.


That is great battery life! I also wanted to try Linux, but I think I’ll lose the wacom feature. I also use it as a thin client for my Linux machines, and jointly with my Mac means I have access to all platforms.


I believe Linux supports Wacom tablets pretty well, I have one which worked without any issues, and buttons can be fully customized. The pen broke though, so it's now collecting dust, and I'm not in situation to replace it.

Unfortunately for Surface pro, some parts of the touch screen was damaged during battery replacement. But the parts that works, works well.


After nvidia's many years of neglecting Linux, paired with direct Microsoft's involvement? Are we going to trust them, to allow installing Linux in these easily?

I don't think so.

This most likely be a winmodem situation, again


DGX Spark has the same soc and ships with Ubuntu


It ships with DGX OS 7, which includes Ubuntu's 24.04 repos. It is not using mainline Ubuntu, and if you want to run Ubuntu 26.04, you'll have to do some work.


Okay, but still it's highly skeptical trusting MS, and NVIDIA.


You do now do this from `Profiles` menu too, without going down to CLI path. It's extremely simple now.


If that works for you - that's fine.

I'd argue, that for some, CLI path is actually cleaner.

You see, the way described above creates entirely separate points of entry, and you don't have to go to the central menu to launch specific profile.

It eliminates one step (Profile Manager, about:profiles or whatever) allowing you to get faster to the desired profile - same way you'd launch a default profile.

It's logical separation too. It's like separate browsers from UX standpoint (they do use the same distribution though ...unless they aren't - you can configure different distributions for different profiles - nothing stops you from that).


We are not in any kind of disagreement :)

I'm just leaving the information about the gui option to other who may not be aware that it can be done from the gui too, and think its difficult to do in Firefox.


When they do not have any justifiable answer, or don't want to answer, but need to keep the facade on, they'll sidestep and tell you how hard they are working on something, and how many unrelated things they've archived.
