See the current dislike for fully digital display on cars. As they are now they just seem like a imprecise replacement for the function keys that either forces you to constantly look down at them (since the main selling point is that programs can change it at will) or force map them to F1-F12 (meaning you’ve spent extra on the touch-bar for no reason)
The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day
“Glazing” is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree
Run info info
Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They’re nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)
Guess the Hyper key is due to make a comeback!
For cases where you really just want to jump between different prompts without piping out to another program/file, many terminals also support jumping through prompts as long as your shell marks them with an OSC-133;A escape code (looks like fish does this automatically now). Some terminals that support this are foot, tmux, kitty, and Emac’s vterm, but it’s undoubtably available in many others.
For example let’s say you’re using the foot terminal and the zsh shell. Just add the following code to your zshrc and then you can jump through each prompt using CTRL-z and CTRL-x
precmd() {
print -Pn "\e]133;A\e\\"
}
Lmao. They couldn’t even copy code from a random MIT licensed project? Sometimes I think these scammers aren’t even trying
You could try making enabling git’s rerere functionality, which stands for “reuse recorded resolution”
Arch does tend to keep packages as close to upstream as possible, which can be both a good and bad thing. Sway not binding to graphical-session.target by default is a little strange for example. Other distros also save a first-time user a great deal of configuration for things they probably don’t care about as well. Going through Fedora’s install and finding out that disk encryption and SELinux were configured OOTB was very nice to see personally. On the other hand Arch’s installation (w/o archinstall) has you choosing a bootloader, audio server, display manager, etc. Nothing arduous and I like it, but definitely not for everyone
This is all eliminated by spinoffs of course, but even there users have the option to run random scripts/AUR packages without vetting them. Also doesn’t help that the most popular Arch-based distro for a while (Manjaro) was pretty flaky and generally incompatible with the AUR (despite saying otherwise), leading to many people saying “that’s just Arch” and swearing off the parent project as well
I switched to (Doom)-Emacs from a ~7yr old homegrown Vim config last week and honestly the configuration is less bad than it seems. If you’re mainly writing markdown you’ll probably get 99% of the way there by just enabling the dedicated module

Clannad? Valid
After-Story?
The back end is open source, but sometimes they’ve lagged years behind releasing the source code.
I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved
If I had to guess I’d say that their other project, Sponserblock, got a little bit more popular than they were expecting and this is just to help alleviate server costs. Most of the API endpoints don’t require any auth at all (the single one that does accepts a random UUID), so any checks must be locally done (maybe system time?). The extension and server back-end are licensed under GPLv3 and AGPL respectively and are also entirely self-hostable, so the code is out there to verify if you wish
Additionally if you’re looking for it to start on boot without logging in, you might find the loginctl enable-linger command to be of use. Maybe along with a Restart=on-failure policy in the service file if this is for a headless unit or something
Wouldn’t call it trash but personally after trying it a couple times it seemed like it took as long to config as neovim while also not being nearly as hackable (probably is more extensible though being a GUI). For that amount of time I’d rather use something with larger benefits like an IDE
PRE-SUBMISSION EDIT: This is a long-winded reply and goes increasingly off-topic as it progresses, sorry. TLDR I agree
Anecdotally, I’ve also noticed a rapid change in the last decade or so as politicians become emboldened by Trump’s success. For example, the premier of a major Canadian province has done the following:
She was previously head of the (now defunct) Wildrose party before defecting and indirectly leading to the historic 2015 election, which marked the first time a left-wing party formed a majority government in almost 80 years.
But even then the most controversial thing she said (publicly) was that ‘the science on climate change “wasn’t settled”’, still inane but a far cry from what was to come after her return to power in 2022
Who said it was the US government? Additionally I’d wager that the people who vote both vote independent and browse these sorts of forums are people who would otherwise vote democrat. Note that there are currently many interested parties that would benefit from a republican win at this moment
I’m not too familiar with the details but there is this excerpt from a blog post by Wolfire Games from 2021 where they say this wasn’t the case. Haven’t checked it’s validity or if it’s relevant information to this case, but it is something
When new video game stores were opening that charged much lower commissions than Valve, I decided that I would provide my game “Overgrowth” at a lower price to take advantage of the lower commission rates. I intended to write a blog post about the results.
But when I asked Valve about this plan, they replied that they would remove Overgrowth from Steam if I allowed it to be sold at a lower price anywhere, even from my own website without Steam keys and without Steam’s DRM.

If it’s an external SSD I could see it being useful in order to keep native compatibility with Windows and MacOS (IIRC their other option would be FAT32 but I don’t use a Windows machine so who knows)
Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it’s really relevant) that’s exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that’s definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you
