I love how people confidently claim something like this. FWIW, for me Linux became better in the times of Windows XP.

And posting direct links to the places where discussion actually happens along with providing tldr context is as constructive as you can get. But whatever :)

I've read it completely differently. The response IMO is constructive and invites the blog post author for further discussion.

Ukraine is right near the russia at the bottom. The russia had started over a dozen wars and committed multiple genocides, one of which is globally recognized, all in just the last hundred years. Ukraine had only been defending in at least

I'm sorry for my candor, but your argument is so silly, it rubs me the wrong way. Laws are how society operates. If you need traffic rules (those are defined by laws fyi) then clearly individual's ability to drive isn't worth

This is solved by repair shop warranty and reputation. They butchered your repair, you demand a fix or a compensation for a new phone. That's what customer protection laws are for.

I concur. The only portable M device I heavily used on the go was my iPad Pro. That thing could survive for over a week if not or lightly used. But as soon as you open Lightroom to process photos, the battery would melt away in an hour or t

Maybe. It's borderline text-editing (the majority of usages are text, and probably within the same application). Also if we consider, how it's implemented: the app is responsible for content-type negotiation, if I copy a file in

Totally agree on ANSI escape. But then to me windows manipulations is also an entirely different "layer". Conceptually copy/paste could fit into that layer. It's like cross-window interface. But what do we do with ctrl-

Ctrl isn't near Cmd on my keyboard. And wasn't traditionally, even on first apple computers it resided where modern caps lock (an absolute waste of space) is. Your solution is obvious to you, because you don't want to acknowl

I'd say Ctrl+W is just a terrible shortcut for closing a tab. It's right near Ctrl+Q, which usually quits an application. While Q is mnemonic, W is not. It's too ergonomic and requires very little wrist movement for such a de

But what is the solution? I don't see it. Doing meta+c/v like in mac? Thanks, no. Meta is allocated for windows manipulations in all my setups, and I'm pretty confident the approach where modifier keys are tied to specific &q

> every native app That's a very big fineprint. With three most popular apps among developers being (I imagine) browser, jetbrains ides and vs code derivatives, all being non-native, muscle memory becomes pretty unreliable. But yeah

The last windows I used was XP. But accelerators do work in Linux. And they are not just about menus: in any modal window I can do Alt+O for Ok. And this paradigm allows discoverability, I don't need to memorize shortcuts, I just hold

In ideal world I'd want to have consistent copy/paste. I'm not saying it's perfect now. I'm just arguing that there are bigger UX problems IMO. BTW, text selection in terminals seems much more annoying to me, than t

I have home key on my external keyboard. While home in combination with any modifiers behaves consistently under Linux, it's an utter mess under macOS. Sometimes my cursor jumps to the beginning of the visual line, other times to the n

With many laptop vendors placing the insert key in the least ergonomic location or on FN layer, it's not really an option, unfortunately

OTOH, Microsoft's introduction of "menu accelerators" (Alt+*) is an incredible productivity booster (which luckily most Linux graphical toolkits have adopted). I got to appreciate it only after I had to use macOS at work. Som

by koiueo 1y ago
The universality of copy/paste is overrated. It's literally just adding shift in terminal emulators, no biggie. A bigger UX problem (on Linux) imo is the multitude of clipboards, we have x11, vim... Those can be synchronized or n

> will not scale in the long term I first learned about Nix about 10 years ago. And back then I thought exactly this – it can't scale. But I'm pleased to be proven wrong.

I rarely downvote on HN, but when I do, it must be a comment promoting JSON over any other configuration language (sorry) Nix isn't even that arcane. Its documentation simply sucks. Once you grasp the idea, it feels almost great

There once was a post "The curse of Nix", or something like that, with the main idea that Nix isn't perfect, but once you tried it, everything else seems even worse. For the first six months of using NixOS I couldn't run
