gwit is a minimalist system for a Web of replicated, host-neutral, lightweight sites backed by Git.

There's a graphics trick that used to be widely known that has now probably almost vanished from the graphics consciousness - you can do rotations by applying three shears in a row. This should surprise you! It surprised me. And it re-surprises me every time I remember it.

Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right.
Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.

Every monitor has its own separate window strip.
Windows can never "overflow" onto an adjacent monitor.

Since windows go left-to-right horizontally, workspaces are arranged vertically.
Every monitor has an independent set of workspaces, and there's always one empty workspace present all the way down.

All these scrolling WM:s sound so fun! I want to try one one day.

These works became public domain in 2023. There are good works I've read/watched and enjoyed too!

Tobias tells us how a proper app theming mechanism is basically impossible in GNOME, and application ecosystems in general.

“Users” want a lot of things, but just because you want something impossible that doesn’t make it possible. In this case, it’s important to be aware of the costs of giving complete visual freedom to “themes”, both in individual app developer effort, and chilling effects on the ecosystem. If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter.

Note that Betula is much more open to customization with CSS. It's a literal setting! I don't use it, of course. If I want to change something visually, I just push it upstream. Y'all folks can do the same, of course, but I won't accept everything. So you've got custom CSS. I think it works well.

TL;DR: Alpine is boring, this is good.

Recently I've had an issue with Alpine, which I had to resolve with some workaround from GitHub issues. But otherwise it's boring yeah. Cool. One day I'll use it on all of my servers! For now, I only use it on CI.
