Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.


It’s a sad time to be alive when people genuinely believe that being openly hostile and combative is the same thing as constructive criticism.

Banning seems totally reasonable to me. Nobody is obligated to put up with that shit.


I really blame Musecore for this, and all of the social engineering that big tech has been doing for years to make profiting off of selling user submitted content seem acceptable.


I miss the golden age of the late 90’s when tabs were easy to get and free.


Of course, the DS games are filled to the absolute brim with meaningful, world-building lore. ES6 could really take from that example.


I’m all in on helix, it has replaced emacs and vim for me quite handily.


Cue surf rock guitar solo


Apple has their own set of issues for sure, but I don’t think they’re comparable to the spyware advertising conglomerate that is Google.


I’m fighting the good fight by using Safari to browse and Kagi to search. I have effectively eliminated Google from my life and I could not be happier about it.

MUDding taught me programming and Regex in a very real and useful way.

It also contributed to a gaming addiction that took years to break, so food for thought I guess.


The right is also easier to write tests for, which is crucially important to me.


Cloudflare is my go to registrar today, nothing but good experiences so far.


All the support for this. I don’t even personally care much but I’ve seen this requested so many times.


The emacs wiki agrees and has the correct take on this: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SmartTabs

It seems like this basic guideline, tabs to indent and spaces to align, solves the problem for everyone. It doesn’t matter what your tab width is, it’ll look “right” regardless.


30mph on a pedal bicycle is very very difficult to reach and maintain. Even on a road bike designed to go fast on pavement, breaking 20mph on a flat road requires you to be extremely fit and streamlined.

I don’t think this is in any way comparable to an ebike where anyone can jump on and break 20 with no issues.

I feel like we would be less forgiving of this happening in other mediums.

Imagine this: car manufacturers are required by law to prevent their vehicles from driving to locations where crime might happen.


I’m running it on my terminal as well and very much enjoying it.


Intel One Mono. It looks bizarre at first but it grew on me really fast and replaced Jetbrains Mono which I had been using for quite a while.


I’m not sure I follow your response here. You posted a “join the discord for updates” link, and I am asking if you are married to discord.

Matrix would seem a better fit, given it is also a federated platform, and it’s not discord at all which is a plus.


Nothing is going to be the best at everything. Been programming for a long time and it’s a general truism that every cool new thing comes with a real trade off. I just haven’t found Rust’s yet.

Maybe I get lucky and the trade off is just all the weird community drama.


Do you have an alternate comms channel somewhere? Looks like a cool app but I’m pretty tired of discord’s new monetization strategy and would rather stay away from it.


Rust is my goto language today. It dips its toes into a bit of everything I like doing (webdev, cli apps, etc) and I feel comfortable with it. I haven’t found a project where Rust would hold me back yet, but I’m assuming I will eventually.
