Also huge props to @jmcneill for initially implementing Wii U support in January. It's incredible how well it works, and I look forward to seeing it hopefully begin distribution in a stable release when NetBSD 12.0 releases.

I was feeling bored and kind of down recently, so I decided to distract myself by trying out NetBSD on an old Wii U. I'd seen that support was added this year, but hadn't tried it.

After a couple of days, I managed to get my usual terminal workflow up and running with no issues or build failures at all despite the exotic hardware.

There's something so beautiful about using this weird old hardware to run a 2026 operating system.

Never change, @netbsd. Never change.

Bookmarked.

They fixed the stupid macOS 26 corner radius thing :allthethings:

I don't use VSCode much, so it doesn't really affect me, but wow the new VSCode default theme looks really off to me.

Something about the text contrast feels strange, it seems harder to read in a way I can't really describe.

At least you can change it back I suppose.

For anyone wondering how, you just have to add this to `.config/kwinrc` and re-login:

TIL you can hide the titlebar of maximized applications in KDE, and it looks great.

I never use the buttons in the titlebar, instead using keyboard shortcuts, and I like to keep my taskbar on the top of my screen, so this actually does a lot for making my setup look more streamlined.

I finally got around to messing with the Emacs daemon and `emacsclient`, and *wow* this is snappy.
I feel like I've been using Emacs wrong this whole time!

Given all the Firefox drama in the last few days, I think it's time for me to switch to a gn**ew** browser :ac_smirk:

I may be biased, but I really think that installing Gentoo is a very valuable learning experience and every Linux user should do it at least once, even if it's in a VM.
It really makes you learn how your system works, and it's not really that much harder than installing Arch manually, it just has extra steps.

I noticed somewhat recently that, while I can type pretty fast, for some reason I only type with my index and ring fingers on my right hand while using every finger on my left hand.

This doesn't really seem to affect my typing speed because I've presumably been doing this my entire life without noticing, but I wonder why I picked up this behaviour.

#Emacs users, how long is your .emacs?
I only started using it late last year, so I'm curious how my configuration size compares to those who have been using it for longer

I hate JavaScript and JavaScript hates me

Shout-out to this typo I somehow made and then didn't notice for over half an hour

I just woke up from a dream where I was using #Emacs. I don't even use Emacs. What does this mean?
