I think in Hyprland it just works because floating windows stay on top by definition.

When was the last time you tried? What compositor?

I stick with LTS releases so last honest attempt would have been on a Kubuntu 24.04 LTS system.

What is a compositor - thing that actually draws window content on the screen? Whatever KDE provides?

Edit: To be fair to KDE/Wayland, the Wayland Kubuntu 24.04 experience was vastly improved over Kubuntu 22.04.


You are using a 3 year old Plasma release (5.27). Give the latest Plasma a try and you should hopefully be positively surprised.

They've made major strides in the last two years. Give the next LTS a shot and I think you'll agree.

Just works out of the box without problems in Debian 13.

The only issue that I noticed it's with screen scaling doing weird things with OpenOffice.


Out of the box for you, doesn't necessarily mean it does for everyone else.


No, Zed's extension API is very limited at the moment. In particular, it does not allow adding any new GUI elements.


They are not really forbidding the use of the name (unless they have registered a trademark), they probably simply want to avoid confusion.

Spaces appear on a printout.


As do tabs, ems, ens and quads.


Unicode shouldn't be a typesetting language. The proper tool for that is Latex.


Yes, I do too, but the point they were trying to make is that "learning how to write code" is not the point of CS education, but only a side effect.


A huge portion of the students in CS do intend the study precisely for writing code and the CS itself is more of a side effect.


Which is a pretty big failure of somewhere in the education pipeline -- don't expect a science program to do what a trade is there for! (to be clear, I'm not trying to say the students are wrong in choosing CS in order to get a good coding job, but somewhere, expectations and reality are misaligned here. Perhaps with companies trying to outsource their training to universities while complaining that the training isn't spot-on for what they need?)


What do you think about BookBrainz?

First time I'm seeing it, to be honest, but it looks interesting. I do plan on having an UI for Librario (built a few mockups yesterday[1][2][3]), and I think the idea is similar, but BookBrainz looks bigger in scope.

I could add them as an extractor, I suppose :thinking:

This is great - the service and that you're extending it and considering a UI.

Personally I would go with option 2 as the colour from the covers beats the anaemic feel of 1 and it seems more original than the search with grid below of 3.


Glad you liked the idea!

Number two is what my wife and I prefer too, and likely what's going to be chosen in the end.


Doesn't seem to have a very compleat dataset --- the first book I thought to lok for, Hal Clement's _Space Lash_ (originally published as _Small Changes_) is absent, and I didn't see the later collection _Music of Many Sphere_ either:

Yeah, I have been planning to try out Iroh sometime soon. However, what I explained will take a whole lot of planning on top of Iroh. I also don't want to replicate what others have already achieved. It would be best if something could be built on top of those. Let's see how it goes.
