Linux@programming.dev•Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers
33·4 months agoExactly. I don’t use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Which open alternative apps list is the best?English
1·5 months agoTo me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don’t have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.

2·2 years agoYou need bisect only as a last resort. Effective use of
git blame,git log -p -S <keyword>etc has always been enough for me. Also, the projects I work with take 10+ minutes to compile even when cached, so doing tens of builds to bisect is much slower than just hunting for strings in git commits and code.

4·2 years agoI had the same feeling until I started using
gitk. I always have agitkwindow open and press F5 to reload, so it shows me the state of everything after I’ve run git commands. Now I grasp everything much better.
