Godot is effectively not accepting contributions, and masquerades as open source. List comprehension, one of the most sought-after features and requested by dozens of people, is repeatedly undermined by maintainers, because they happen to d

Still a hard no, why would I pay when I get it all for free.

Financially supporting Google is the last thing I want to do. I'd rather flush the money down the toilet than pay for Youtube.

I wonder if they allow to add a narrowing discriminator? What if you posted "death to invading Russian soldiers of Jewish descent"? Even in this simple case it's easy to see how this policy is misguided.

It's hilarious that the most liberal companies on Earth like Google or Facebook are so often accused of promoting "right wing" ideas too much, when they very clearly do everything in their power to censor right wing people at

Elisp is a really poor language compared to almost anything else, more work should be done to allow Emacs to be configured in other languages.

They didn't respect that, though. And no, I don't want to "work on this", I want to not be tracked by default.

IAB isn't a privacy organization, it's an opposite of privacy organization.

I don't want advertisers and people who rely on tracking to stay relevant to survive.

The rules are actually very simple, you have to obtain a clear, explicit consent given out of a user's own free will to track him, or you're breaking the law. Don't like it? Tough luck.

Why shouldn't the default be to not be tracked, and only start being tracked if you explicitly want to? Advertisers always frame this conflict as though it's absurd to expect them to just stay out of our lives, and anything that m

Hey, we're all in it together. I'm not the one "staying at home" or wearing masks though, so ironically this affects me less than it does you. We don't have any vaccine-related restrictions where I live either.

By now you should have noticed that you're not "getting back on with your lives" no matter how good a boy you are and how many freedoms you give up. You should have resisted this from the start, this is your choice.

Like everything, this effectively becomes a new tax on the middle class. I did not consent to this, did you? As time goes by more people will start noticing their total lack of power when it comes to politics, and will start to look for alt

There already exists better power tools for power users, that are easy to use and easy to customize, yet still more powerful than Emacs. It's a common misconception that if it's arbitrarily hard to understand, it must be something

There's that condescending attitude again. In your fantasy land Emacs is an F1 race car, and everyone else is a CRUD-writing code monkey that drives a cheap sedan. In reality though, Emacs is a subpar editor for both everyday and speci

Imagine what you could have accomplished if you didn't have to spend all that time writing an entire large codebase just to make it usable. It's a false assumption that it should require pointless busywork to be useful. You'r

You'd expect more intelligent people to prefer a tool that doesn't require days of tuning to start being remotely usable though

That's some kind of protestant work ethic. It doesn't need to require days of busywork to be powerful. VS Code is more powerful, easier to configure, and more productive out of the box. The default feature VS Code offers make hund

I have been using emacs for 7 years prior to switching to VS Code. Never looked back. It's better in all regards.

If you need to install a dozen plugins (helm, projectile, company/autocomplete, flycheck, whatever else) to match something that's installed by default in any modern text editor, Emacs will never be remotely popular. Even somethin

If you need to use a specific dialect of lisp most people won't be familiar with, it does a poor job at it. Lisp is not a language many people use today. NeoVim lets you use any language you want for writing extensions. VS Code uses ja

If you need a dedicated tutorial for a text editor it's a great sign that something is very wrong with its design, particularly concerning discoverability. Emacs has no user-friendly command names (you need to memorize function names w

You would probably be more productive in VS Code with an empty config.

Emacs should have been what VSCode is now - a powerhouse of customizability that offers unmatched functionality by default. Instead it's a toy for some old people who are still holding onto the remnants of an age that passed a long tim

It's because of racial differences in IQ, which are proven beyond a shadow of doubt. Even with racist policies that discriminate against non-blacks, black students perform worse, and it's not dependent on wealth levels or any othe

Number one: In 1945, corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: in 2004, 90 percent of traffic went to small websites; now it’s about two percent. It’s called consolidation. Strengthen large cor

You can have an interesting, well paid job and a life outside of it. This is a false dichotomy, don't spread it.
