ya i was a GNOME hater for a long time after the GNOME 3 transition, switched between Mate and KDE for years. But gave up on those due to persistent video instability and went to vanilla Ubuntu GNOME and it's actually pretty nice. Not sure if it was good originally but I actually prefer it now.

In a bit of fairness to the haters, Gnome 3 used to have a lot of graphical glitches and was unstable in a lot of its early iterations, but I broadly agree with your characterization.

I think if you actually give modern Gnome a chance (and actually make an attempt to learn it), it's actually a pretty slick desktop.

Years of fighting to restore basic features was funny the first time, but gnome 3 was not the first time; I do not blame anyone for not trusting that gnome won't pull the rug again, and soon.

sounds like a problem for claude to worry about

none, but there may have been one or two military bases disguised as hospitals that sustained some damage

it looks dense but perfectly readable. arguably more readable that way than if it had a bunch of extra new lines, definitions, and code blocks spreading the logic out into a larger visible area.

I'm inclined to agree. While not always appropriate or popular, it makes some sense to me to have the visual weight/area of the code being ~proportional to it's significance. Communicates the ideas more clearly. Instead of spending the majority of space telling me what _isn't_ going to happen, and hiding what is.

I often find myself wishing this was more ergonomic in languages.

was close to getting one, more for worry free linux compat than for repair, but ended up with a mba instead for now mostly because of the touchpad. someday i will have my perfect linux laptop. i saw the framework youtube video where they failed trying to make a new giant haptic touchpad. don't do this just copy the mac. after you copy the mac you can try to improve it maybe.

just using cursor

Answer how you'd want a Waymo to react

right on. i usually just tell it "hey go update this function to do [x]" in horribly misspelled english and then yell at it until it does it right

Sometimes I write with Claude in English and German mixed with really bad typos and it’s amazing how well it works.

When touch typing and talking to someone, I accidentally typed something to claude with my fingers off the home row, e.g. ttoubg kuje tgus ubti tge ckayde cide ternubak. Claude understood it just fine. Didn't even remark on it.

It truly is an idiot savant. It's absurdly good, and then if there is any unaccounted complexity, ugh let's just make the tests stubs.... tests pass now.

Ja find ich auch schön schreckliches Denglisch mit Claude zu reden.

wait until you start conversing with it. It's been a game changer for me how I use Claude CLI. It suits my workflow fine since my sessions are intense in focus I have to bring and I iterate with it; I just haven't found _a way_ where I can give it a large thing to work on and that it will not deviate. I do one focused thing at a time, review, test, alter code and then repeat. With voice mode it's been great since I can talk with it while walking fast on a treadmill. It's bizarre, star trekish, and it works. I wish I could have a stop word with whisper, since I do tend to think long between sentences in this mode, and I wish I could stop it with voice while it's talking, but I found a flow that it doesn't matter that much.

I suggest everyone who can to try the voice mode. https://getvoicemode.com/

As much as I've been using llms via api all day every day, being able to run it locally on my mba and talk to my laptop still feels like magic

Unfair example google has the worst docs in existence. Either a quickstart with one uselessly simplistic example or an autogenerated class list on a totally separate site with no explanations to be found. Often I just end up looking at their libraries source code to learn how to use it.
