That is the website where I first found about this, but I was disappointed when I couldn't find a calendar or rss feed for it.

Hey!

I found out that Steam announces their next sales almost a year in advance. After discovering this, I started looking for a service that allows me to see the next steam sales right in my calendar. However, I couldn't find anything, so I quickly spun up a solution of my own.

It's basically just a Rust project that generates a '.ics' file from the latest information (manually entered, as I couldn't find an API for this). The repository also hosts a workflow that automatically builds the file after an update.

You can add this to your own calendar using the following URL: steam_sales.ics.

Hope someone finds this useful.

But that's not true for all channels. I quite like this one, and when I like the content, I'm a little less harsh about the clickbait because I understand that it may be required to make meaningful money on YouTube.

Yes, it's true, the linux foundation is less about linux, but more about "Decentralized innovation" (Directly from their website). I don't think that's a bad, thing, as it's also important to create open source software for other platforms and other technology.

The text doesn't show up when you type in a password, but it still registers it. Instead of showing asterisks it just doesn't show anything, but you are entering a password. Just type the password blind and press enter.

You're welcome!

  • Yes, you can absolutely use a WM without a DE. A DE is usually just a set of preconfigured and pre-installed applications. If you use a WM like i3 etc. you just get something that draws windows, and no settings and bluetooth applications
  • It influences my choosing because window managers usually don't come with a terminal, and you have to manually install a terminal emulator. But on desktop environments I use the default terminal, although I could also install kitty.

I don't know if I'm correct, but in my head, a window manager JUST manages windows. Gnome and KDE also manage windows, but they also contain applications for settings, printing, etc. Desktop Environments also have window managers, but they have more applications on top.

Neither, actually. I don't know why I call myself silva, but that's not my real name.

When I'm using a tiling window manager, I use kitty, because I like its speed and support for font ligatures. When I'm using a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE I usually don't use the terminal at all, but if I need it, I use the default emulator.

Why do you need multiple files to configure zsh? Does it have that many config options?
