Love the cheeky jab at George R.R. Martin, the site works fantastically, though as others have mentioned an ISBN search would make the entire workflow miles more efficient.
What a great new possibility - generate a prompt, do the little project or whatever, write the blogpost, post the link. I guess status/karma/cred is the W?
As a former moderator of r/unixporn (I went by u/fps_co1ncidence) and a longtime ricer of all types of Linux WMs/DEs, I can most confidentially assure you that there is nothing futuristic about what goes on there, just a lot of pointless tinkering and dotfile copy pasting.
The macOS experience is exponentially more polished and Apple will have to screw up phenomenally even from their current position to feel any threat from the FOSS community.
Actually, it doesn’t. ZQ is the same as :q! which quits without saving with a 0 exit code. So all of your git branches get deleted in this example, since you left the file as it was. You definitely want :cq here.
Terminal clients like weechat[1] might catch your attention, but I'm pretty sure what you're looking for just doesn't match up with modern UI conventions.
I can also personally vouch for weechat, it's extremely customizable and fun to use.
I don't think it's a matter of ui convention. Doing things the Whatsapp way does not work for such large amounts of chat channels. They're just doing it because people are used to it..
I think there's 2 kinds of usecases for matrix. One tries to just replace Whatsapp etc as a person to person chat network. It aims mainly at novice users. The other usecase tries to bridge as many chats into it as possible to have a central place of interaction. This is obviously for more advanced users. Still, the element team seems to aim for this usecase too with their Element One service.
The ui of element and the other high profile clients works great for the former but poorly for the latter.
I use gomuks by the way but I would like to see images (with a click if needed). Gomuks actually shows them but very low res.
I tried it when it first came to Elements but I didn't manage to set it up so that stuff from each bridge went into its own space. It seems to be more something for matrix communities on the wider network, not for local bridges. Perhaps it's improved now but it didn't work for me when I last tried it.
I should give it another try though. I'd kind of forgotten about it because after the first try I've hidden the entire vertical bar for it, to reclaim some screen space. So I haven't given it any thought lately.
It also eats up disk space on macOS (and I assume every other desktop considering the client is the same), I've had to reinstall it multiple times now just to save almost a dozen gigabytes of space...
I'm not even an active signal user, I only have a few friends on there, I can only imagine what it's like for someone who uses signal as their only chat app, it must get crazy.
Disappearing messages (4 weeks etc.) help mitigate the problem a little bit from what I've noticed but it's nowhere near a complete solution.
I semi-frequently send audio files to one of the aforementioned friends of mine, and that’s about it. Everything else is just images (which signal compresses to oblivion btw) and stickers.
The fact that there’s no way to view individual files that have been sent to/from me (+ their sizes) and remove them—like there is for messages.app in macOS—makes troubleshooting even harder here.
I will admit though that I haven’t looked too far into the problem but it’s seems to be an issue that just about every signal user I know deals with.
