iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The 13" from about a year ago. Just any light pages looks quite low contrast to the point where it's a bit hard to read. Some of this will be that I'm used to the glossy macbook screen, it does seem a bit much.

That's interesting. My issue was that it felt closer to non-tiling WMs in some ways, while the (imo) even more tiling-y approach of i3 was always my jam.

I think I'm having colour calibration problems with both of them though? idk maybe this matte framework display is just not what I'm used to now, but light mode pages look oddly washed out and slightly hard to read. Applying a colour profile didn't seem to do anything? idk, I'm out of my depth.

idk something about the scrolling just wasn't as easy for my brain to keep track of as I had hoped. Maybe it's because I used i3 for years back in the day, but Sway felt really comfortable for me. I do miss Niri's cool animations though. Super snazzy.

I think I've decided to go back to sway, I couldn't get the feel for niri's navigation

Sounds lovely! Have fun!

Have you found some other cool fun thing to spend your time on? :)

Giving $300,000 to the world's most well funded collection of Arch Linux dotfiles is a really odd decision, and that's before the politics of the project.

Yee. Maybe the first signs that DHH has some distasteful opinions. He was enthusiastically defending pornographic imagery at Ruby conferences

Yo!!! This is what I'm here for

Is this him complaining that projects have a code of conduct?

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 24/08/2026

I've been thinking that same recently. Maybe I should adopt 1FA with bitwarden

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 24/08/2026

that's really neat! I might use this. Did you pick any particular app to migrate to btw?

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 24/08/2026

Thanks! Blows my mind a bit that folks can think that 8 million is peanuts for open source projects.

This just says "blocked" for me. What is/was it?

@willow.sh What are you using with niri? Your setup looked really nice

There’s a lot to like about gleam, but one aspect that doesn’t get a lot of attention is the security focus of the development team. Gleam offers great tooling and platforms for building secure and resilient web applications and services. gleam.run/news/help-fr...

oooh exciting! I loved Evan's work with Elm, keen to check this out too

I find the whole situation very frustrating.

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 17/08/2026

I hope no other people have got the wrong impression from this, that would be a shame.

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 17/08/2026

Yeah the messaging is rather unclear. Big corporations all a bit too invested in AI and the image of AI atm. There was modules on securing AI (tl;dr, never trust AI), and while conceptually interesting it wasn't relevant to Gleam at all.

120

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 17/08/2026

I completely agree! I think what the industry is doing is completely immoral. Gleam does not use AI or accept AI contributions. The program is about security and included training on how to secure AI systems, which isn't relevant to Gleam. Gleam being in the program doesn't link it to AI in any way

141

Louis Pilfold @lpil.uk · 17/08/2026

It was a security program, it had nothing to do with AI software development. Gleam does not accept AI contributions and we don't use AI.

mmm I can't find anything in their docs about file syncing :(

lol I wish. It's enough to pay the bills for less than two months, before tax
