How-to: use OS icons to differentiate between different Distrobox containers in Fedora Silverblue (fish shell with tide prompt)
Final version:
```fish
source ~/.config/fish/functions/_tide_detect_os.fish
_tide_detect_os | read -g --line tide_os_icon
if not set -q 'DISTROBOX_ENTER_PATH'; and not set -q 'TOOLBOX_PATH'
# This is the core Fedora Silverblue session. Show a lock to
# indicate its immutable.
set -g tide_os_icon "🔒 " "$tide_os_icon"
end
```
The Bluetooth Quick Connect extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1401/bluetooth-quick-connect/) should be built-in functionality in GNOME.
It’s a hugely cumbersome process, otherwise, to connect to headphones that you’ve already paired (especially if you also use them with your phone, etc.)
My new development/streaming setup is starting to take shape. Still need better cable management but getting there. Everything’s plugged in and running, at least :)
Going from two laptops and 2 external screens (4 screens total) to 1 desktop with 2 external screens. Having the multiview close on an arm let’s me use it as my monitor while streaming so I go directly into the Atem with 2 HDMIs and a DisplayPort to my main screen. Fedora Silverblue with GNOME 42 didn’t even blink; just worked :)
Wow, ok, this is freaky.
New computer. Fedora Silverblue 36. Not signed into anything. Location services is on (using Mozilla location services). I’ve been living in Ireland now for 3+ years.
I open GNOME Maps app. I grant it location access. I press the “Go to current location” button.
It goes to the exact location of the home we had in Malmö, Sweden.
What. The. Fuck?
OK, so I have no idea how that’s possible. Mozilla must have somehow cached that location but how do they know it’s me?
In case you’re wondering why I’ve been quiet on the NodeKit* front: (a) there’s a bloody genocide taking place on our doorstep (b) I’ve undertaken a major refactor to evolve it from being a functional prototype to a maintainable tool.
So Twitter has suspended me for calling Michael O’Leary (Ryanair) a cunt for profiteering from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I’ve had to delete my tweet in order to be let back in.
I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise. Michael O’Leary is not a cunt. I was wrong to call Michael O’Leary a cunt. Please do not call Michael O’Leary a cunt.
To make amends, I will post “Michael O’Leary is not a cunt” every day for the next 100 days.
I make small things.
