somehwere else in this thread this project was mentioned (uses libghostty): https://github.com/weedonandscott/trolley

that might be a viable approach for you

Never heard of this, thank you!

you might be thinking of the new KDE distro. bazzite is fedora silverblue based. iirc there's access to flatpak homebrew, as well as rpm-ostree (basically rpm) among others

You are right :)

There's a similar keeb, that released a couple years ago and is a fair bit cheaper (although still not /cheap/): https://www.azeron.eu/.

I can't speak about its quality as I'm not a user, but it might be of interest to you

my first reaction was to assume kafka-the-technology exectly because of the domain name. Then i realized that the one i meant was the "New York Times", and not the "New Yorker". NYT is one of the case studies from a kafka provider [0] skimming is a double-edged sword

the windows issue might also be caused by accidentally pressing the hotkey (alt+shift i believe) to switch layouts. it's super easy to mis-trigger

This is the correct answer, if you have two keyboards configured it's not uncommon to switch between them accidentally.

It's win+space, and I regularly end up switched without pressing it. It triggers in error quite frequently.

i set this up for my fastmail account a couple weeks ago. go to settings -> aliases and create an alias for *

this also allows you to write from any email address in your domain (when composing, change the sender dropdown to your *-alias, and the 'from' line appears and is editable

a big problem with npm is, that a lot of package authors don't use the .npmignore [0] which leads to EVERYONE downloading your source/, test/ and docs/ folder even if only that one file in build/ is needed. That, combined with the micromodule mindset, leads to insanity

That's a very bad way of handling it. When will people learn that you can't rely on everyone being a good citizen? Is it really so hard to realize that you need to make your technology sane from the very beginning?

Fear not. We have a tool for that in bower https://github.com/blittle/bower-installer, so I guess there will be one very similar in npm too. :)
