Yeah, I had the same (also with the i3 window manager and the fish shell): it came with sane[1] defaults to allowed me to chuck out my previous big, grown-over-the-years config and start over much smaller. [1] very subjective but they were

Doom Emacs is worth a try. Comes with Vim bindings by default but these can be disabled. https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs#doom-emacs

Haha, what an argument. Grandma does just fine on Android and would be utterly confused by iOS. It's all about what you're used to.

Yes, this is the main problem with SFOS. I think it is because of the USA's allowance of trivial patents which act like a trade block.

No, the person you're replying to is right: we've had decades and decades of warnings. Small steps could have been taken 30 years ago but now it's too late for that.

The Netherlands will not be ambitious. Our (NL) climate policies have been a dumpster fire. We're like in the bottom of the EU when it comes to that.

Are you Dutch?! Because we, the Dutch, haven't been really progressive for like at least two decades. There's limits on the age you're allowed to buy alcohol in The Netherlands just like in other countries.

Void Linux, "the BSD of Linux", uses runit and it has been fine since forever. If there were any issues they would be worked on.

Phew, I've been using tiling window managers for 15+ years now so I don't really know. I've always been interested in trying out different window managers and UI/UX concepts. When I started with Linux in the 90's i

I don't know if fish counts as an alternative shell since it is still pretty close to bash and zsh, just with better defaults requiring less configuration (similar to i3wm with respect to "better defaults"). I just use it as

I use rMAPI to push and pull stuff from the machine. Not sure if it works for the rm2 as well. Also, it requires storing your stuff on reMarkable's servers ('cloud'). https://github.com/juruen/rmapi

So this pretty much came out of the blue. The Netherlands has been a pretty good place for cryptocurrencies. Not actively promoting them like some places but also not actively campaigning against it like others and the taxes on it are ligh

Well, to be somewhat fair: the IJsselmeer used be a sea (Zuiderzee) but The Netherlands blocked it off with a large dyke in the early 1900's. So you could consider it part of the long term planning

People are already, rightfully, being very critical of Google, Zuckerberg and others. Just like we were back in the day of Microsoft. Are we going to applaud Zuckerberg in 20 years when he's going to use his money for good? He could

I can't get through Baxter's writing either. Well, I did manage one book and his ideas are grand, such that one keeps thinking about it for a while after reading his stuff. But I don't know what it is about his writing. It

No, if you just need to read some text a lot of sites function with JavaScript disabled. Also, you can permanently enable sites, so often it is a one-time flip of the switch. I think (but never really researched and enabled it) you can als
