The Institute is extremely concerned to see #ImageMagick, a major component of the graphics stack, on the slippery slope towards becoming slopware, more by @ansuz 👇🏻

I find it very distressing to see that ImageMagick is included in the ["open-slopware" list](https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware), not due …

To not continue to spam another conversation, but since it came up recently:

I have done my best to make #macos act like a tiling wm like #dwm #sway or #i3

To accommodate this I have installed Amethyst which automatically tiles in a similar way to i3 (there are various options but the one I use has a main window on the left half of the screen and subsequent windows stack on the right half of the screen.)

I changed keyboard shortcuts (primarily in Amethyst, but somewhat in macOS settings) similar to i3 with things like cmd+1-6 to change desktops, and shift+opt+1-6 to throw the active window to a desktop. (The hardest part of this was setting all the keyboard shortcuts.)

Then I just found whichspace which is an app that can show you which desktop you are currently viewing in a menubar icon (it can even show you all desktops with the currently viewed highlighted.)

I like how the whichspace dev says in the repo “an app that nobody was asking for.”

Me.

I was asking for it.

Thank you

Are you familiar with dwm's powerful tag feature?
THE TAGGING MODEL
Many desktop environments organize windows using rigid workspaces:
Workspace 1
Workspace 2
Workspace 3
A window belongs to a single workspace.
dwm uses a different model, treating workspaces as bitmask labels (tags).
This allows a single window instance to hold multiple tags simultaneously,
acting as a persistent visual anchor across different contexts:
Firefox -> Tag 1 (Web Browsing)
st (nvi/dev) -> Tag 2 (Code/Scripts)
st (Monitor/Logs) -> Tag 1 + Tag 2 (Persistent)
When you view Tag 1, you see your browser and the log monitor. When you
switch to Tag 2, the browser disappears, but the exact same log window
remains on screen, now sharing space with your text editor.
The application is never duplicated or restarted in memory.
The UI remains minimal while enabling workflows that are difficult to
express using traditional workspace-oriented desktops.
Two decades later, this tagging model remains one of the most
distinctive features of dwm.

Does anyone know of an #SDR application for #Linux that will loop through a list of predefined frequencies, like a scanner? I know a couple exist for Windows but I haven't found any for Linux.

Like, Trump and Starmer are prosecuting people for posting and you want to make it easier for them? You want to make it easier for stalkers to find their victims? You want to help doxxers and swatters? What is wrong with you?

There’s a thing I picked up from my dad and the fitters who worked in my grandfather’s workshop: own your tools. That way you’re not tied to your employer, you can take your tools and your skills to another job any time you please.

I was once on the position where the only laptop I had access to was owned by my employer. It made my teeth itch.

It’s just one more reason I am deeply suspicious of LLMs for coding. And all the other rented software out there, for that matter.
