from neovim to helix? I would prefer the configuration simplicity (while my neovim config is fairly stable and straightforward, it can be annoying to update) and better out-of-the-box defaults. I’d also be a lot more personally interested i

same -- I wish Helix would just have a full vi-compatible mode, it would probably be enough to get me to switch the other thing for me is lack of the GitHub Copilot extension. I am far too used to having tab-complete. there's some effo

I worked in Microsoft's AI platform from 2018-2022. people were very aware of LLMs & AI in general. it's not magical AGI is a silly concept

ah this is the relevant piece, which I did skim over given I was getting annoyed at paragraph after paragraph not telling me what it is: > Chat Control would make it mandatory for all service providers (text messaging, email, social medi

by dkdcio 1y ago
right and if you read that subsection, it does not tell you what Chat Control is. which I find odd. it just goes on about how bad it is (after making an analogy earlier about police entering my home every morning). am I missing the explanat
