Not the same but this gives me an idea… what if there was a map reduce for doms as a web primitive. Like imagine if I could make a dom (or feed) that was some selection and transformation of another dom
Currently Linux and I think BSD, and the creator has said he wants to support MacOS and Windows, though those will only be included in the paid product.
On Linux and BSD, it supports Wayland and X11, though Wayland is better supported.
ie, Quickshell will forever stay completely free for free operating sysems.
Weirdly, the fact that the Windows and MacOS versions will be paid makes me more optimistic.
Customizing at least the Windows window manager isn't for the faint of heart and its architecture doesn't have a lot in common with Linux so such an effort is very far from a straightforward port, and as a result most Linux desktop software and especially stuff that deeply integrates with the desktop environment is basically never ported or the port is incomplete, buggy, short lived, etc.
KDE4 was supposed to fully support Windows and 15+ years later I'm fairly sure that dream is dead.
I expect Windows to be easier than Mac, especially if attempting to respect SIP, though I've not done much research yet and don't plan to until the Linux version is in a state I'm happy with or I'm forced to heavily use a Windows/Mac machine and need to make it bearable.
I'd probably pay to skin Windows if it worked really well (fast and no flashes of unskinned stuff). I've wanted to tinker with that for ages but I don't even know where to begin.
Windhawk[1] has some plugins for styling (using XAML). I don't really style anything apart from removing the "Recommended" section from the start menu, so I'm not sure how fast styles get applied.
I was remembering this from when? 20 years ago? I was using Linux already but have to use Windows at work and couldn't tolerate not being able to change things to my liking
Custom Windows shells go all the way back to Windows 9x. All you need to do is hide the task bar (or kill explorer.exe) and run your own replacement. Even Microsoft released a downloadable window manager of sorts with PowerZones and they added a registry key at some point so people could stop breaking their updates by replacing explorer.exe and just specify a replacement executable instead.
Custom shells might break some shitty old programs relying on Explorer running as a shell, but the Windows 11 taskbar probably killed those off already.
There are API differences between Linux and Windows of course, but nothing that Linux has that Windows doesn't. As this is based on Qt, a lot of API compatibility will probably already have been taken care of. It just requires someone to go through the effort of writing and maintaining their OS ports.
Linux isn't the only F/OSS user-friendly OS; in terms of desktop customization, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and illumos distros are basically all equally good.
I feel like itd be cool to try prompts based on an adversarial justice system… attorney agents arguing both sides, a judge ruling on “the law”—adherence to instructions etc
That's very easy to do. A prompt I regularly use is a "council" system. For example:
"I believe I have been contacted by the supernatural. Here are the details <details>. Please form a council of seven people: 1) Secular scientist 2) Religious scientist 3) Paranormal historian 4) Secular Psychologist 5) Religious psychologist 6) Carl Jung 7) Richard Dawkins. The council should all be independent and provide their own objective analysis. Please have them create a final report and conclusions at the end".
Your council can be anything, a law firm, a jury, a parent teacher association, whatever you want, and as you can see, you can throw in known people as well. This can all be done with one prompt. It's one my favorite things to do.
I’m surprised the hospital said they were confident it was safe. I wonder what gave them confidence? I’m struggling to think of what data I could have on hand that would convince me it was really safe. Also, to folks saying that randomness is clumpy… did you read the article? I think a bunch of nurses that notice they are all getting sick (and then FIVE of them getting brain tumors) should be taken quite seriously. I’d start with the assumption that there IS an environmental problem and then figure out what it is.
They said there weren't any environmental factors. However, we don't know that much about brain cancers and the only real environmental factor would be radiation and some meds (like the mini pill). Checking the water supply is fine, I guess, but it takes years for the cancers to form (usually). Who knows if whatever they would look for would still be there. I think there's little chance of finding a new environmental factor. I think it's likely some unknown factors exist. I just don't think it's likely they'll find one this time.
Idk I used Claude Code recently and revised all my estimates. Even if the models stop getting better today I think every product has years of runway before they incorporate these things effectively.
(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks, and good idea! Yeah right now canvases are quite minimal, lots we can improve both with basics like selection/drag, and more types of canvas-specific blocks. We'd love to get some kind of freeform sketch block at some point too, though more complex, a few more frequently requested things we want to get to first, like simple tables and font options!
