@bossadizenith You should should try the summercamp theme as well. It looks great! Best view in Zed. The vitesse theme too is great in VSCode. Including the light mode

@tar_uniqueee Is it available for testing yet? What are the other apps on your homescreen 👀

@ephraimduncan Is it just the video compression that makes it look like this or it’s real? Because it seems to be stuttering… 😕

[Josias Aurel ⚡ @JosiasWing]

@snwy_me Yes please.

Except this is not what studying looks like, and I am sick and tired of the internet pretending that it does. Let me tell y'all something.

Studying is maddening, okay? It is a pursuit of fanatically trying to understand something that you, for some inexplicable reason cannot seem to move on from. It is the single most devastating as well as rewarding thing that you can take up, IF you are truly trying to get something done.

Devastating since at the extreme, it is THE Most lonely undertaking a human can take up. You will drown yourself in texts that were authored far before your bloodline existed, in thoughts that make no damn sense to anyone but to you, and you cannot explain them to those few who are willing to listen because you are not sure about them yourself.

Speaking of thoughts - the bastards that they are. I am convinced that they are the only entity in the world that moves faster than the speed of fucking light. And for a mind that's fanatic enough, it is a struggle to keep a hold of the freight-train that ravages through you every time you encounter something new. And the cruel part? The name of the game is to hold on to the single thought that you have as a thousand more flood in.

To give it the time that it deserves, the patience that it needs, but oh well, there's a thousand more that are demanding the very same. You try and write it down, because it helps, but what happens when your hands cannot match your brain? You go insane. You try and distract yourself, "Maybe I am tripping, it's not that deep." NO IT IS THAT FUCKING DEEP.

But when it all comes together, when those thousand thoughts do indeed get processed, when it all forms ONE beautiful symphony that we call a body of work, the brink of insanity suddenly seems worth reaching and staying at.

So no. Studying is not all about having a Starbucks coffee with a MacBook that has cute PDFs open, or a stack of messy books, or neatly written notes that are Pinterest-worthy, or a dimly lit room with motherfuckers dressed in the most immaculate fashion that they can find trying to talk about their experiences. And I am so done with the internet trying to make it that fucking way.

FIGHT ME.

@Hi_Mrinal what's the first theme name?

[Josias Aurel ⚡ @JosiasWing]

@nickbakeddesign Worth setting up telemetry on production apps for this reason

[Josias Aurel ⚡ @JosiasWing]

@yokwejuste Looks so much better

[Josias Aurel ⚡ @JosiasWing]

@yokwejuste Nice!

[Josias Aurel ⚡ @JosiasWing]

@yokwejuste That looks good. I noticed the code in blocks did not bave syntax highlighting though. Is that a bug or it’s intentional?

Their reactions in this video is a bit funny because this isn’t even close to how scary it can get on some roads in Cameroon. Idk seems exaggerated

The sort of manoeuvres drivers pull on Cameroonian roads on a daily basis is crazy.

I don't think the people in Waymo will ever ride it again.

What is the best pdf/epub reader available on iPad/iPhone? I’m looking for readers that give a more book/paper feel…

We made a mistake. This was the result of an oversight in our billing process, and we are returning Hack Club to its previous nonprofit pricing while we work with them directly to ensure their workspace remains fully accessible. We value the work Hack Club does to inspire and educate young people in coding and technology, and we regret the concern this situation has caused. We will be reviewing our billing and communications processes to provide nonprofits clearer guidance and adequate grace periods as they grow.
