Q: Linux compositors / tiling WMs:

- I have 2x27" monitors, and have used GNOME for many years

- I am a big user of workspaces: One activity per workspace, *ACROSS BOTH MONITORS*

- I want to seriously give a (wayland?) WM a go, and have tried hyprland and niri

- I cannot seem to capture my mental model / workflow with these WMs. I love the tiling (clean, space efficient + KB driven), but the workspaces are *PER MONITOR*

What am I missing?

reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.

it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.

Jetzt stell dir mal vor, wir würden die ganze "KI"-Kohle in Bildung investieren und eine bereits vorhandene natürliche Superintelligenz mit Trainingsdaten versorgen.

Next day:

"go old school", and do a traditional search....That produced a "reddit" result on the #1 spot, because search sucks these days.

But that topic actually has a human reply to the same problem, with the correct answer and refers to the wiki for the distro (should have checked there first!), which also has human written documentation confirming said answer.

Needless to say, said answer works first time.

Total old school time: < 3min => Success

Total LLM time: 30mins => Failure.

It's amazing. These LLM chatbots are so seductive, yet mostly unproductive. Even for topics where I consider myself well above average competence:

Case in point: Got a specific technical issue with an unfamiliar Linux distribution? Thinking about searching for an answer?.. nah just type it into "the cat I farted"..

and then.. spend 30minutes wrestling with the "confidently presented solutions".. Does not work. Give up, sleep on it.

Next day....

Offenbach hat die Afd-Stimmen halbiert. 👍 Ist schon ein paar Tage her, sorry, ich freu mich trotzdem sehr!!! 👏👏👏 #fcknzs #fckafd

Warum titelt niemand: "AfD-Ergebnis in Offenbach HALBIERT"?

Warum ist das nicht in den Schlagzeilen: In Offenbach a.M. hat die AfD ihr Ergebnis HALBIERT. Wenn sofort "AfD stärkste Kraft!" kommt, wenn sie in einem Wahlkreis knapp mit 25 % auf Platz 1 liegt, warum werden ihre Niederlagen verschwiegen? Warum sind es nur News, wenn die AfD gewinnt?
