Linux@programming.dev•Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?
2·4 days agoThanks so much for that detailed explanation!
Whooo the Voyager, so nice! That’s been on my list for quite a while now, must be so handy. If only that price could come down a bit :)
20 wpm is brutal! That brings back memories from the dvorak struggles haha. So frustrating. But a good strategy of yours, to do the switch along with the voyager, that way the frustration isn’t focused on one particular thing which can then be easily tossed aside.
Ergonomics are important to me too, as I’m not really a spring chicken any more. I already switched to a trackball mouse, as that gave me the most problems in my hand muscles, they’ve gone entirely ever since. But my posture at the desk is still an issue, so voyager might help me out there.
I also see Colemak is more modern (than dvorak) and keeps a lot of the punctuation and shortcut keys in the same position compared to qwerty, that’s encouraging. I also see -DH moves d and h so the vim shortcuts remain? Ingenious, absolutely perfect! I feel giddy now, I might give Colemak-DH a try this weekend (and hopefully longer).
Vim had quite a few learning resources, little games to make me get used to the bindings/motions. Did you use similar games or exercises to train your Colemak-DH muscle memory?

yea they’re in a git repo, one of the benefits of doing this
I don’t think it will be a matter of combining, more of commenting out one import while uncommenting the other (I hope 😆)
Different shortcuts, so custom setups for everything hmm. I don’t think NixOS has much if any advantage here :)
Have you been doing Colemak for long? I’ve always wanted to get off this qwerty, but the brief stint over at dvorak wasn’t too great. But I’ve since pushed through learning vim … somewhat, seems a similar wall of frustration. I might be up for another challenge.
Why did you choose Colemak?

1·5 days agohmm those configs get added to the nix files, not sure how I leverage that include directive in such an environment. Should be fun to find out!
NixOS wasn’t that bad. I’m not that familiar with the nitty-gritty of Linux so yes it was tough the first days. Setting up everything just right, recreating the Sway layout from before. Still, once that works, it’s smooth sailing. I’ve not yet had the misfortune of having to do a reinstall, perhaps I’ll reconsider then 🤣
myrmidexOPMAtoBelgian News•Fewer Flemish households struggle with energy bills, but rising prices spell uncertaintyEnglish
1·5 days agoSo
Fewer Flemish households had difficulty paying their energy bills
Let’s find out
Following a record number of contract terminations in 2024, the number of terminations fell by 1.35 per cent in 2025. The share of households receiving a notice of default from their energy supplier increased slightly to 8.94 per cent, although that figure has fluctuated around a similar level for several years. The number of households with active payment plans also declined, VREG reports. While suppliers granted more payment plans during the year, the overall number of active arrangements fell because far fewer plans had been set up in 2024.
I don’t understand this. Do those people whose contract is terminated now sit in a house without electricity or do they end up being homeless? Homeless can’t be it, or the active connections would remain stable, yet they decrease.
This is very worrying. Strange for Belga to use such a positive title on this.

World News@lemmy.world•Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands announce new military aid, F-16s for Ukraine ahead of NATO defense ministers' meetingEnglish
3·5 days agolol strange to put Belgium first. The Belgian government doesn’t even have an official stance on the matter as there’s heavy bickering about the budgets as these are deep in the red even after years of social cuts. The centre and centre-left parties are starting to protest now their voter pools are drying up rapidly.
I reckon the no-absolute-ground feels so natural because we originally came from the sea.
myrmidexOPMAtoBelgian News•3 euro customs duty to be levied on small non-EU online deliveries from JulyEnglish
1·5 days agohe new policy gives EU shops an advantage over non-EU shops.
Excellent point! The critics rage against more regulation I reckon.
I don’t understand that not more is taxed like this. Chinese cars for example: EU complains that their automobile sector is in decline, but allow the cheap Chinese brands. Same for other industries that are in decline, there are enough of them.
It’s a shame stores are so blatant about their coming demise, sending their customers to the more convenient alternative. Not much to be done I guess, seems an irreversible trend.




2011 is perhaps not really ‘newer’, but The Raid would fit this description nicely.
