Not only that: take a look at Emacs: essentially no one Emacs is equal to another. It's so flexible that any users bend it (easily) to their needs and desire. Sharing their configs is a mean for any users to evolve, acquire knowledge e

I can cite number of vulnerabilities found in snap, flatpack, appimage and see it per unit of time since they exists compared to number of vulnerabilities in classic packages found per unit of time. But that's an pointless exercise. To

I offer a different, human-centric, POV: we are in a managerial-driven society with actual trend is more and more form Ford-model workers to use and control for business. Human in this model are a problem: too stupid they are unavailing,

In my own personal opinion container idea is "meh" and today's usage trends are AWFUL. They serve a sole real purpose, open door to proprietary software on GNU/Linux destroying it's community model. You can't r

Personally I think you think in term of "what if I start to work FOSS way today" instead of "what if we push all together a political reform that mandate Free Software". In the former you are wright: if you live on a sin

Thanks, just curious because you are the first I here that have used Emacs and decide for something else. For org-mode outside Emacs I do not know VSc but I've used in the past Vim port and agree: outside Emacs org-mode support is simp

Just for curiosity: you have moved away from Emacs org-mode? If yes may I ask why? I'm using Emacs since few times and it's now even my WM and org-mode is it's companion for nearly all docs/docs related stuff I use, neve

Phones are BAD, limited and limiting platforms :-) Not your faults but we all need to ditch from those black boxes if we want to evolve instead to go to well colored jails. Anyway IMO the best description is: "wrapper to execute script

Nice, I'll give a try :-) IMO it's another step toward a transformation from classic shells to modern REPL, xonsh is one, eshell (Emacs) is another and probably many others exists. Traditional shells have some nice things mostly d

btrfs is designed with a developers POV, zfs with a sysadmin POV. This means that the former is a pain to use, the latter works really well.

Using it on root and nearly all personal fses I second, especially hoping that it's development speed up a bit, the cleaner it's still a pain and a small wrapper to diffs between cp's can be a very nice addition!

Hum, mumble mumble... I may have experimented something like that, having become an Emacs addicted... But I'm sure enough that no Emacs devs work with such theory in mind :-) Maybe I also have a rebound effect against certain platforms

AppStore is not a democracy, they decide to keep the power and people working with them accept that Damocle sword. Closed source comprehend such situation, FOSS does not.
