Why would they enforce the activation? Window is no longer their product. You are.

TBH I don’t really mind when LLMs are used for code reviews. My main issue[^1] with coding assistants is that the people using them don’t verify the code they emit thoroughly (that would be too much work. Remember - reading code is harder then writing it) and thus they often push junk into the codebase and blame the AI for the bad quality when it crashes. But with code reviews there is no such risk, because you still have to read and understand the comments and decide on your own how to resolve them.

[^1]: Quality issue - I’m not talking about the ethical issues here.

Some caveats;

• It must be disclosed that the comment was generated by AI. Disagreeing with a human reviewer (who’s usually maintainer) and disagreeing with an LLM are very different beasts.
• If the submitter disagrees with an AI comment, and the reviewer agrees with the model’s initial criticism - the reviewer[^2] need to defend it themselves, not delegate the argument back to the LLM.

[^2]: Regular Open Source etiquette applies, of course. The reviewer is always allowed to reject the PR and ask the submitted to kindly fuck off.

Or just switch to Neovim?

That, my friend, is a weezotski.

No need to go through USD. If 1gp is a day of modest living, then 3gp will buy them 3 days of modest living - or a day and a half each.

Then again - they still need to pay city taxes on the tavern during that day and a half, and maybe rent too, so I don’t know take can afford even a single day with these 3gp…

Niri? Never heard of it!

It’s kind of new (version 0.1.0 was released two years ago)

Is it easy to migrate from i3?

The mental model is a bit different, but I got used to it quite quickly. Configuration-wise, no matter which WM you pick the migration from X11 to Wayland will be the bulk of the work.

Started with Sway to easy the migration, but just this week - after a few months of Waylanding - I decided to try Hyprland to see what’s all the hype (hyp?) is about. I didn’t like it - it was pretty, yes, but it felt sluggish and the multi-monitor support has some deal-breaking issues.

So I looked at other alternatives, and found Niri. I fell in love. It has both eye-candy and performance, and the combination of tiling and sliding is pure genius.

No. It’s Kekken, of course.

Bone licking is not required for doing the science. They do it for pleasure.

My point is - why go backward? You already have your Sway[^1] based setup, configured just the way you like it, with the ability to switch various components in and out. What does a monolithic[^2] environment like KDE have to offer you?

[^1]: Assuming it’s Sway and not i3 because I assume you have already switched to Wayland. You switched to Wayland, right? You need to switch to Wayland. Why are you not switching to Wayland?

[^2]:, Yes, you can tweak KDE, but since all the various parts were created to fit together switching one will always result in awkward UX.
