Jelly is an experimental terminal forum for developers and friends. Everything happens over SSH. No web UI, no javascript, just text.

I learn how to draw a triangle with a GPU, and then trace the code to find out how the graphics system works (or doesn’t), looking at Mesa3D, GLFW, OpenGL, Vulkan, Wayland and Linux DRM.

A cozy command-line clubhouse for computer people. Chat, music, games, art, coding, and tech news. Connect with any SSH client!

It turns out that when DHH says “native Brits”, he’s specifically referring to white Brits. That’s why it’s “a statistic as clear as day when you walk the streets of London”: it’s his coy way of saying that too many of the 59% of Londoners born and raised in the UK are not white.

I cannot recommend Hyprland to anyone who is not prepared to steer well clear of its community spaces. Imagine a high school boys’ locker room come to life on Discord and GitHub and you’ll get an idea of what it’s like.

It’s in this disturbing political context that I saw an odd post from the Cloudflare blog pop up in my circles this week: Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy. Based on Ladybird’s sponsorship terms we can assume that these projects received on the order of $100,000 USD from Cloudflare. I find this odd for a few reasons, in particular because one thing that I know these two projects have in common is that they are both run by fascists.

I have an attention problem.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to convert my old laptop into a writerdeck, a dedicated writing device free from the distractions of the modern internet.

Lots of folks build really elaborate offline devices for this, and I’d love to do that… someday. Right now I have no shortage of projects and the point is to get writing, so I used what I had: a six-year-old laptop which still runs great, has plenty of power, but isn’t getting much use anymore.

Crucially, this laptop has an excellent keyboard, and a matte screen, which makes it awesome to type on for long stretches, and functional enough in the daylight (I like to sit outside with my dog and write). It’s also a System76 Galago Pro (not sponsored), which means it’s already Linux friendly and has great support in the kernel.
