If you are using Windows, and you don't know either editor, I would go with Vim because it's easier to learn and it works better in Windows. But if you want to get up to speed quickly, I would go with VS Code. Both Vim and Emacs t

Rant: I feel like most people haven't really thought about why colleges are so expensive now. It is because of the federally guaranteed student loans. It means there's pretty much no downside to banks loaning an arbitrarily large

I still like DAI. Nobody seems to have heard of it or remember it exists, but it's a stablecoin that doesn't rely on "trust me bro". It's soft pegged to the dollar through its algorithm. While the crypto world seems

I think this way of looking at things is rather recent historically speaking, and may in fact be part of the antinatalist sentiment you are trying to refute. Globally, improved standards of living have decreased birthrates, not increased th

I like GrapheneOS. Not sure if this fits your use case or not. It is an Android-based OS with a focus on security. By default it has no real app store, and no push service. It's basically a hardened AOSP with a bunch of security focuse
