I think you made the right decision. Becoming an active Orion user will help the browser ecosystem improve, while Firefox is clearly a dead end.

It's time. People can complain that "oh it's based on Chromium" but I don't think that's the hill to die on right now.

>unofficial President That sure is a funny way to refer to a president who was elected by both the popular vote and the Electoral College. I'm no fan of Trump, but it sounds like a form of derangement syndrome to believe that he w

Dillo is only sporadically developed. They even lost control of the dillo.org domain a long time ago, which pretty much spells amateur hour. Ladybird would be a better choice, but it's not even fully baked yet. Coming sometime in 2026,

The 15C is a true classic. I used to be a land surveyor, so the 48GX with the COGO card was my fave.

Licensure. You're talking about licensure, not certifications. Other industries do it. Why doesn't software engineering?

That is correct. I was trying to make a basic statement. We should be careful not to make excessive claims about the benefits of houseplants, but generally speaking I think they are a benefit.

I don't have any scented products in my house. Ventilation is key, especially in common areas like the living room. You should open the window occasionally even in the dead of winter to help circulate the air. Some other things I do ar

It would have been nice if they'd have revealed what the payment options are before the final step. Kind of disappointing.

That's because here and on Reddit, there is a strong element of EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome), which is characterized by not being able to discuss anything SpaceX, Tesla, X, The Boring Company, &c. do without completely politiciz

We've had rockets before Yeah, but we didn't have reusable orbital rockets, and that's a distinction with a big difference.

Not really, as pointed out by others in the thread. Anecdotal of course, but I use em dashes all the time— even in emails and texts (not just long-form writing).

Why now? Well FWIW I also don't have much hope it will happen. But maybe the needle will be moved if Apple doesn't back down and it affects UK iPhone users.

I'd like to think that we've reached the point now that there will be mass resistance to threats to privacy and freedom of speech in the UK, but Britons are such a docile, accepting, and pliant people when it comes to standing up

>I mean that they give off Fascist vibes, and that it's a problem But you've just repeated the accusation and said that you think it's a problem. You haven't provided proof of any actual fascism.

Did you use the Vim or the Neovim plugin? I have had a hard time trying to get either to play nice with VSCode.

by wyclif 2y ago
A good option is to start with kickstart.nvim. This allows you to build up from a very basic install, or keep the simple default install without a lot of plugins.

Do the Vim bindings work in VSCodium as well?

That's a really distorted view of the situation. For a lot of these guys, de-banking was the last straw. Fact is, Biden/Harris overplayed their hand by trying to force feed woke left ideology and DEI mandates on tech CEOs.

This is why I don't write custom cover letters anymore, even though I'm pretty good at it. It's just too exhausting when you know a lot of them are going to fake postings. I'll do it if I'm working with a solid recr

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that Matt Mullenweg is in desperate need of an intervention. Seriously, the man should seek professional help.
