@technomancy @m455 if you suuuper needed to use those tools, both are luckily some of the most forwardable over ssh between vscode's remote ssh windows (kinda like emacs tramp with lsp/dap) and the classic ssh -D socks proxy for browsers (though chrome annoyingly needs an extension to use those easily, unlike firefox)

it makes both only really a matter of having a good ~/.ssh/config

those aren't quiiite the same aesthetic as using a terminal-only setup to do the things you need though

@m455 this vibe rules tbh

it's an absolute aesthetic to just hack on things from a lo-fi system with nothing but combinations of simple tools that work excellently when wielded skillfully

sure, it may be just the unix philosophy, but dang does it feel satisfying in practice

@noiob oh! that does seem pretty handy~

it's definitely true that moving windows between workspaces in some things can be a paaaaain

not sure if i'd use side by side workspaces much though

huh! that's a higher ratio using it than i expected

(i wonder how much of that is from how they are a part of the default paradigm of linux desktops?)

@codl oh, huh! i didn't even think about how that combines with tiling

i still haven't really touched any tiling wms

@cinnamon oh, i feel you with browser tabs. i aggressively close those whenever i can justify doing that

i guess i just developed a habit where each desktop is for a specific thing i wanna hyperfocus on without distractions from anything else i might also have in the works

when i am on one, nothing else exists--i can focus fully with my often-fullscreen windows relating to a single topic without clutter from unrelated things

that clutter belongs on desktop 1 until i decide to split it out

@bx bx bringing the important stuff

(also, goodnight..! ^^)

i'm curious! do you use workspaces (multiple desktops) in your os of choice?

@bx maybe i need a little more practice! because doing that is actually why i have a slower version just offhand

it's encouraging to know it's not the brick wall i've been thinking it is though~

@bx oh wow! i'm impressed

those clips are utterly incomprehensible to me, even when i try to take it slow and dissect them to learn their secrets

@bx gossssh, it always feels so good to have that channel explain something that i know, because it's such a rarity

i love those videos, and i have a lot i could learn from them--but for now, it's a lot!

@bx when i say "can't replicate", i mean like, check this out:

cdn.discordapp.com/attachments

what the actual heck are those drums doing?? it sounds incredible, but how the actual heck was that made???

even slowed down tremendously, my brain just can't grasp the pattern or rudiment that is happening here:

cdn.discordapp.com/attachments

@bx hahaha, fair enough~

i personally think it's pretty good for playing around with chord theory and trying to really understand the "why" behind things since i feel like that part is pretty important for being able to recognize (and maybe eventually make) the things i really enjoy

occasionally dipping into this channel really reminds me how little i recognize: youtube.com/c/8bitMusicTheory

i also like to dissect things that sound amazing that i absolutely can't replicate

@bx i feel like being around others who like the same things as you do can be a pretty massive catalyst when it comes to carrying you over that initial plateau--though the initial "spark" of inspiration i find comes from situations you come across normally

like, playing a game and thinking "oh gosh, i wish i could make things that make people feel the way i do now"

i think the initial enjoyment plateau is actually realllllly long though, i feel you need to be comfy with the medium to get there
