Finding new ways webshits fuck up the most basic development principles boggles my mind. It’s like they intentionally stay ignorant.

Monetization plan might be to sell prints of platformed artists work, with out any need for pesky royalties.

Because until you spend many hours getting used to it, it’s annoying as hell. I’m a longtime bash user, but if I have to do anything in PowerShell, it sucks. Bash is even less friendly to novice/casual users due to tools like awk and sed being totally obtuse. When you’re unfamiliar with the workflow, not being to see everything you’re able to do at a glance is pretty frustrating.

Mullvad (and every other decent VPN) supports WireGuard and OpenVPN configurations that will be supported on any distro through the network settings without the need for additional software. It’s also pretty likely the mullvad client will be in the software center of whatever distro you’re using

NFS is generally the way network storage appliances are accessed on Linux. If you’re using a computer you know you’re going to be accessing files on in the long term it’s generally the way to go since it’s a simple, robust, high performance protocol that’s used by pros and amateurs alike. SSHFS is an abuse of the ssh protocol that allows you to mount a directory on any computer you can get an ssh connection to. You can think of it like VSCode remote editing, but it’ll work with any editor or other program.

You should be able to set up NFS with write caching, etc that will allow it to be more similar in performance to a local filesystem. Note that you may not want write caching specifically if you’re going to suddenly disconnect your laptop from the network without unmounting the share first. Your actual performance might not be the same, especially for large transfers, due to the throughput of your network and connection quality. In my general experience sshfs is kind of slow especially when accessing many different small files, and NFS is usually much faster.

If you’re on Linux I’d recommend using btrfs, or bcachefs with snapshots. It’s basically like time machine on MacOS. That way if you accidentally delete something you can still recover it.

CCS is already required in Europe, problem is there aren’t nearly as many CCS chargers in the US especially compared to Tesla’s network

It’ll definitely need some kind of quality enforcement to make hosting work. It’d be really useful if the app would automatically transcode to the server’s preferred quality when uploading, using the uploaders device. If the server has to transcode all the video the compute costs could get astronomical.

Fzf has some scripts packaged for most shells that’ll replace ctrl-r reverse history search with this behavior

For neovim check out mini.align

You didn’t even mention the worst part, you can’t change the default terminal emulator.

The main killers for me were the lack of anything like the treesitter text subjects (contextual treesitter objects) the lack of anything like leap nvim. But it lets all the stuff that’s normally a bit of a headache to set up work out of the box.

I disagree with your photoshop vs gimp point. People don’t use gimp because the ui is complete shit. Tons of people switched to Krita for drawing when that came out because it actually had thought put into the user experience. People don’t use GIMP because no matter how much anyone begs for the devs to make the ui not suck, nothing ever changes.

He was the writer of This Week in Neovim for a while. I think he might have been adding tons of plugins to his setup and not all of them were well maintained or behaved. I’ve been quick to drop plugins that break more than once or twice, and I’ve never really had issues with stuff breaking update to update. Plus with Lazy’s commit locking for plugins it’s easy to restore your config to a working state.

That’s what config distributions like lunarvim are for

In the blog post, the author mentions using shim programs to translate between things like tree sitter and kakoune, how many of these sort of things do you use in practice, is it difficult to manage them? The nice thing with neovim compared to a setup like this is that I don’t need anything installed aside from git and the editor itself.

It’s also a nightmare if you want your config to work with both nix and non nix platforms. If I’m using my config on windows or at work, I’m not going to have nix and home manager to interpret the nix version of my vim config. On my systems with home manager, I’d like be able to install my nvim config as part of home manager rebuild. If I have home manager pull my configs git repo, it causes lazy to freak out whenever I try to update my plugins. It’d be nice to have some sort of integration with lazy that exists with cargo and similar tools but it doesn’t look like anyone’s been working on it.

If you’re interested in using flakes, this repo was helpful when learning how to get my first system configurations set up in an organized way https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs

Plus 99.9% of people will never think of doing that
