With all the new innovation around terminal emulators, I feel like I am the only uncool old guy cozily settled in KDE Konsole with no complaints whatsoever.

I'm absolutely fascinated by this tool that lets you build wireframes using text elements, ASCII art style. I've seen wireframes in excel, powerpoint, on paper, but this is a first. Still, it's actually quite efficient and exportable. Love it! wiretext.app/
Looks like at long last KDE is finally getting per-screen virtual desktops. Been waiting forever for this! www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Per...

Dear startups, If I star your repo on github and immediately start receiving marketing/sales emails - I am going to mark every single one of those as spam.
Reduce syntax noise in your code with vscode-conceal (Similar to the vim conceal feature) github.com/rocq-communi... Because we can't always choose succinct languages for wider ecosystem concerns. Here we have a svelte file with all closing tags concealed away.
What the actual f*ck? This is the kind of thing we optimize for now?
✨ Exciting proposal alert: the CPU Performance API. This proposal will add `navigator.cpuPerformance`, a value that measures the broad performance capability of the CPU. That way, we can scale up/down our animations to make sure everyone has the best experience possible for their device. 😄

Not surprised that fleet is getting discontinued. If you were using it, switch to @zed.dev - have been using it as the daily driver for months. Wonderfully stable and performant.
Why tf is this the most requested feature... of all things? No shade to zed - they are fantastic.
Zed@zed.dev · 8mo agoZed's most requested feature (rainbow brackets 🌈 ) has been merged into stable! The issue had over *1,000* upvotes on GitHub and we're excited for you to try it. zed.dev/blog/rainbow...
Somehow I have been using #KDE for years without ever realizing that when the desktop is focused, I can just start typing to search through KRunner 🤦♂️
I have not been a #ruby dev for a long time, but its always delightful to see the kind of quirky userland hacks its massive flexibility makes possible. Here we have the default argument feature hijacked to support a succinct syntax for runtime type checking. 🤯 github.com/low-rb/low_t...

Maybe focus on criticizing the perverse practice that is "planned obsolescence."
Interesting hack. Obfuscate your content from LLM scrapers while still keeping it human-readable. One of those things that will only work until they get mainstream, but cool idea. gibberifier.com
