Wow… KDE devs got pretty good taste!

🥳

Been looking forward to this for a long time—K-9 Mail is an excellent mail client, but this is one step closer to Desktop/Mobile sync.

Uplink is where it’s at.

Wait, so there’s multiple engines? Someone explain this to me—if I wanted to play free Quake in the simplest way, what exactly would I need to install?

Depends on the options mpv passes to yt-dlp—I personally have in my mpv config to grab 720p videos, so that it’s faster than downloading full quality.

I’ve been using todo.txt for tasks for about a month now—it’s dead simple, supports all the bells and whistles you mentioned; and, with the topydo CLI, you can very easily make yourself a kanban interface using its columns UI. I sync the files with my iPhone and use Todooo on iOS, which works beautifully.

As for notes, I just write simple text files with my favorite editor. Maintaining complex systems of interconnected notes, I’ve found, most often does not pay off for the enormous time investment required (some specific use cases aside); tags, links, etc. I have all found to be superfluous—any kind of grep integration in the editor is all that’s needed for finding things. I write in either markdown or Typst, because basic Typst is essentially the same as markdown anyway, and because I’ve found it very useful to keep notes in the same format I write longer-form documents in.

This is absolutely nuts—even macOS doesn’t have a single program that does all of this.

I recommend the PDF Expert app by Readdle. I’ve never paid a cent for the pro features, but I like the free dark mode.

I know Luke set up https://based.cooking/ a few years ago—is that the sort of thing you’re looking for?

Niflheim might one day be the name of an actual Nix-based distro…

How’s it compare to piper?

Fascinating! How’s it compare to youtube-tui? I’m really interested in starting to use a program like this… the YouTube website is so unbearably slow.

Always nice to see Helix :)
