How’s Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it’s probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

Eh I’ve seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they’re like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.

Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.

Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a “normal” editor/IDE. I don’t see why it’s so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you’re going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you don’t code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don’t spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.

I’ve tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I’m from most of the time they kinda suck. I’ve had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.

Would that have even worked? I can’t imagine you’d be able to get anything better than PS2 graphics with just an extra CPU.

Also no higher-order functions like map, filter, reduce etc.

Really weird design decision for a brand new language.

Comptime is pretty dope tho, I wish Rust had that instead of relying on macros so much.

Racism isn’t exclusively about skin color you dolt.

Do they ban catholic children wearing crosses around their necks?

Why not?

Sorry I just don’t buy into the ideology that the free market has this kind of “magic sauce” that makes everything innovative and better.

The early Internet was filled of people doing all kinds of cool things for free just because it was interesting to do, the only thing the private sector did is provide the base infrastructure, this is something the state can easily do too. All kinds of communities, FOSS software and media popped up and none of them had VC funding or expected any money out of it.

It was only in mid-late 2000 that capital really sank its teeth into the Internet properly.

How would you have communicated without someone owning a server and paying for it?

You do realize the Internet first started being used by universities and the military, not the private sector, right? I see literally no reason why Internet infrastructure couldn’t be publicly owned. It could function pretty much like any other public utility.

Yes because people never communicated over the Internet before Glorious Visionary Entrepreneurs from the Great Private Sector took hold of it and gave us all these Valuable Products, they just sat on their ass wondering what to do with such technology like complete idiots.

I swear free market ideology is the dumbest shit you can possibly believe in, I’d sooner become a fucking Mormon.
