The framework is complex, not its use. It’s actually extremely easy to use. If a project builds a framework that tries to cover every case in an opinionated way, they’re going to end up with a complex framework. Why should the fact that the

When I upgraded my MBA to Sonoma, it was unusable for about 3-4 days. Opening Finder would slow the system down to a halt and eventually crash. I have no idea what the problem was, but it eventually sorted itself out after that (not before

Not sure if this was ever necessary or when it stopped being necessary, but you definitely don’t need to disable SIP to use VeraCrypt (anymore). You do need to install macfuse which is effectively closed source, but SIP stays on.

Cross platform support is a good reason.

Call me crazy but my idea of a comprehensive desktop experience doesn’t involve recompiling tools like my terminal emulator or WM to change configuration. ‘No-bloat’ is kind of antithetical to GNU, where the various applications give you ev

These days though you can offload that to a configuration distribution like Spacemacs, Prelude, or Doom Emacs.

I get the same error on an M series MacBook (Ventura). However from the repo README.md it looks like make should work instead of cmake, I’ll give that a try.

I developed Java in Emacs using lsp-mode and the Eclipse Language Server, it worked quite well but there were some things it couldn’t do/I couldn’t figure out how to do (moving a class to a different package was something I never figur

I replaced the battery with a non-OEM so the battery situation isn’t unexpected. It’s very usable, it’s just banged up. I was even running Ableton Live on it before I got a new MacBook. How many other 10 year old laptops treated with the sa

The revelation for me was when a school friend of mine in the early 2000s told me about a site called crack.cd which had serials or keygens for practically any software I wanted. It was a whole new world, I loved it. Only had to nuke my com

I've got a 2012 MacBook Air which I bought second hand (maybe third or fourth hand, or more?) for $300 a couple years ago. The hinge is floppy probably due to being dropped several times, the FaceTime is busted, I replaced the battery

FWIW, Homebrew uses /opt/homebrew instead of /usr/local on Apple Silicon installations, as far as I know that was the main sticking point for the complaint that it took over your system. Still isn’t terribly useful for m

Linux ‘sorted out’ its display server protocol years ago, it’s Wayland. Fedora has been on Wayland by default since 31. Ubuntu has been on Wayland by default since 21.4. Debian has been on Wayland by default since 11. Distributions that don

That always frustrated me, even more-so considering how that volunteer-built package I mentioned ( https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux - an Electron build of the web app, nothing flashy but does the job ju

Likewise, I don’t particularly like it but it’s fine. My biggest gripe is nonexistent official Linux support - I hate having to use a package maintained by one person on GitHub to get a desktop application for Linux, when this application i

I’ve found search in Mail.app to be hopeless, and the solutions you see online of rebuilding Spotlight indexing or deleting-and-recreating your accounts in Mail.app aren’t really solutions in my eyes since they don’t fix the root of the pro

Maildir support has been considered beta for a long time in Thunderbird, and using it for anything ‘critical’ doesn’t sound possible unless you like to live dangerously (for me, everything to do with email is critical- some messages are mor

If you’re being incredibly charitable, it’s throwing the fossil fuel industry a lifesaver because they fumbled the ball on the transition to renewables and it won’t be possible for them to compete in the way they have previously (by being m

I have found Ctrl-[ to be the best option for a while. I swap Caps Lock and Ctrl since I am most used to Emacs/Readline-style keybindings, and even though I have moved over to Vim-style keybindings for all development I use Ctrl too mu

This is the only real downside of Thunderbird as far as I’m concerned, other things like aesthetics just being matters of taste where you can’t please everyone. It’s become an annoying downside for me lately because one of my email addresse

Some of the pages like this on FSF’s website make no sense to me. I’ve looked at this page several times over the past few years; the only distros I recall being added recently are Guix and PureOS. Dragora is dead, Dynebolic is fossilised,

The number of people who have been using and contributing to Emacs continuously since the 80s probably numbers in the dozens if not less. The maintainer of Doom Emacs has been an Emacs user for about 10 years; the lead maintainer of Magic h
