This thing is ancient, I tried playing this for a bit way before I actually started on my Vim journey some 7 years ago. My dad introduced me to this, and I didn't really see the point to it, never really came back to it either, so I ha

Another thing that would make 1 happen even if they think they're not leaking information over different channels, is the software keyboard. GBoard is google's, and likely has some data collection in one way or another. Similarly,

Considering how easy it is to implement these things without anyone noticing since it's closed source, you have to assume it is happening in any scenario where you need any decent opsec. Even in scenarios where you don't, there&#x

What about sr.ht, savannah.nongnu.org or self-hosted projects using cgit or gitea frontends, most of which lacking such integrations the likes of gitlab and bitbucket provide? I'm sure it's more difficult to support things like th

I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment in your comment. Just because you, or a certain group of people don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bad tool. It may not serve for everyone, but for those for which it does, it work

I have a diagnosis too, and I've never heard about any of this, nor do I think it has much if any bearing upon the meaning of the word. People have a general understanding of it, even if specific conditions vary, which is why the word

I believe filtering on programs that actually have a gui by using .desktop files and using their icons while at it is significantly more convenient. i3-dmenu-desktop, despite its composability, was insanely slow, so I switched to rofi as so

While I agree that this sort of workflow keeps development environments reproducible, I disagree with freezing editing tools like this. Nothing about your project should require specific IDEs or similar software. Like you said, less complex

It's not the knowledge - it's the increased complexity of the entire stack, all the way down to the hardware. A modern linux kernel image is easily bigger than 8MB, and that needs to be in memory at all times. Why? Because of all

This sort of thing sounds like something better left to a proper package manager like Nix. Reproducibility and a complete top-to-bottom dependency chain are key in making sure a package works well into the future.
