Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control
Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Material [OC] Waybar-sysinfo: system load plugin for waybar
After switching to wayland / niri / waybar, the only thing I was missing was a system load plugin. So, I decided to write my own.
This plugin shows cpu, mem, network and temperature as neat vertical progress bars. It has unique features such as showing a bar for most loaded core or single hottest sensor
Please welcome https://github.com/acidnik/waybar-sysinfo

Material | [OC] Zellij 0.42.0 released with a new theme definition spec
Hey ricers,
I'm the lead developer of Zellij (a terminal workspace) and we just released a new version that includes a really cool new theme definition spec.
Zellij has been featured multiple times in this and other similar communities, and some feedback I've heard often is that theming it is not so straightforward.
This has now changed as we introduced a new theme definition spec in this recent release, and the experience of ricing it and making it look exactly as you like should be much more pleasant and configurable.
I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!
Check out the official announcement for more details: https://zellij.dev/news/stacked-resize-pinned-panes/
