That’s precisely why I wrote “lighter and stronger”.

Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can’t imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this “revolutionary” bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.

Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.

It’s odd because from what I can gather from things like youtube it seems like woodworking is huge there (and they say wood is cheap there too), so I’d imagine there should be a considerable amount of people doing furniture.

Contrasting to the situation here where people doing hand-maded furniture is lowering their prices so much trying to keep up with the ikea-type of shit (and of course doing things with superior quality).

But it’s what certain fruity company and its Dieter Rams wannabe designer in chief made into a trend (along with soldered memory slots and other abominations) because aEsThEtIcZ - despite its implications not only on repairability but sustainability.

Not sure if you know this but with Gmail (and I bet that almost with any other email service) you can approach this - instead of the ‘-’ character you use a ‘+’ and set custom filters and tags for each ‘+’ you want. I’ve been doing this for ages with it - though as a third world person I can’t afford privacy by paying a third party subscription nor setting a home server and running local services 24/7 by paying more electricity.

No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can’t open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to “see”/“edit” more than one file at the same time.

Not to mention there aren’t things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59

The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I’m not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don’t really miss anything else. vis’ phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.

What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis’ main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn’t seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I’m trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.

If by any chance here’s someone else using vis, I salute you!

I am from a third world country and find this offensive.

Maybe you’d want to check out tasks.org - it’s available on F-droid. I just checked if it can set an indefinite repeating reminder each x minutes but in theory you could set a high number of reminders (it seems you can set up to 999999999 repeating reminders!)

To those who downvote, really?

Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

Take my posts in Colombia@lemmy.world - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?

It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.

Farmer is systemd/kerneld*

Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons

TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism

Not sure but it seems to me most major distributions offer you to do a separate /home partition by default? I may be wrong but this happens with the likes of Fedora and Ubuntu? Or at least they do recommend to make it that way

I mean, it can be faster than your average distro on some scenarios. Mostly if you know your way in kernel config.

Though most of its real advantages are in the form of a lean system completely tailored to your needs.

It seems to me most of that Gentoo FUD comes from people that never even tried to install it or gave up because apparently reading a wiki is too hard for them.

Of course not, they also need to pay tribute to our Lords and Saviors Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds and make reverences to our supreme god Tux.

It’s just that they make all of that with extra steps.
