  • The main draw of xmonad is that you can modify pretty much everything, as the config itself is a Haskell file (the entire thing is written in Haskell). There are tonnes of modules to use, you can define your own window layouts and add whatever functions you can dream off - I haven’t seen any other window manager offer this kind of freedom (with the added joy of learning Haskell!).

    As for the second point, about half a year ago, they started doing exactly this. Rewriting xmonad for Wayland. Guess I’ll sit this one out.


  • I just set up xmonad because I was in the mood for change. Took about a week of tinkering a bit each day and I really like it. Afterwards, I was still in the mood for configs and looked at Wayland. There isn’t much progress on Wayland xmonad, so guess that has to wait.

    That’s a common problem I’ve been hearing for almost 10 now - the software support isn’t quite there yet.

    I know the ‘I bought the games beforehand!’ crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that’s mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to ‘perserve’ it. There is no need to be this salty about it.


  • I feel like it’s just wrong to call these games ‘free’. They are ‘partially free’ with the incentive to extract as much money from you as possible in order to get the ‘good stuff’ or simply to avoid endless hours of unfun grinding. It’s just inferior in every way compared to games you pay for once and that’s it, because they don’t need to drip feed you ‘fun’.

    Exceptions apply to competitive games that need a changing meta and content updates. New content for non-competitve ‘free’ games mostly amounts to new stuff you can buy to surpass new arbitrary walls built in front of you.


  • Cronometer is really nice for food tracking. It knows most things by its barcode or you can search by name. You can get a nice breakdown of nutrition for free and there are some subscription features like food suggestions based on your missing nutrients.

    As for exercises, I go with FitNote. It knows most exercises or you can simply add your own. It’s easy to create workouts and you can display your data in some usefull charts like volume by week e.g. There’s a supporter app to buy, but I believe there are no gated features.
