Decided to try the XE KMD on my 12th gen intel laptop, and it does seem to (in exactly one benchmark I've tried) be more performant than the i915 driver that's default for 12th gen intel.

I forgot that color theming also exists on KDE plasma, not just on COSMIC 😅

Also, the hugo theme I used (https://github.com/imfing/hextra) requires an SVG for the favicon, so I pulled out inkscape and made this gem:

I did a thing! A vscode extension that lets you escape the Flatpak sandbox to develop on the host. I'll blog about it soon :)

I'm loving the new #COSMIC server-side shadows and borders! I'm not an active-window hint user, so this update actually makes the windows look more on-par with #KDE and #GNOME! Expect the Fedora updates in the next day or two.

I made Flatpak's `/usr` directory mutable so you don't have to:

A few years ago I made a color theme for #VSCode, called "Faded Prism".

Now, in my never ending search for the best editor, I have ported it to both #Helix and #Lapce ! Helix now has it built-in, but you have to use the latest master for that. Lapce and VSCode are plugins:

Related to Zed owning all the code in the repo, the EULA for the editor is pretty crazy for an open source project. Read: term-limited license, cannot decompile, disassemble or attempt to learn the source code underlying the editor, Zed making "certain versions" of the Editor available at the zed github. It feels just as bad as VSCode with this kind of crap.

It really feels like they're trying to be open source only as long as it's convenient for them.

That answers that question
