This. I don’t partake anymore because if I have too much, it puts me in a full-blown anxiety attack, sometimes with existential terror mixed in, and couch-lock on top of that. Nothing quite like appearing to be having a fine time to the outside world while internally being trapped somewhere between emotional purgatory and hel for several hours.

The risks outweigh the benefits for me. That just means more for everyone else though ;)

Also a good choice. Just never had the need since I knew a bit of regex before learning vim.

The ability to use a powerful, standardized string query and transformation language if one wants? Yes, I do call it an advantage.

CLI text editors have their specific use cases.

Couldn’t agree more. My use cases tend to be:

• text editor
• note taking
• IDE
• config editor
• log viewer
• adhoc data prep
• json viewer

EMACS users sometimes add web browser and email client, among other things but, that’s a bit further than I go. The perf for either of the main two blows nearly any GUI editor out of the water and being able to pipe stdout/stderr to them is just the wonderful cherry on top.

Aww yeah. Feels good.

Yeah… The singleplayer games being unplayable is extremely stupid. Was going to play Dying Light, which came out a long time ago but zero games, disc or not, will start.

Getting used to vim has made nano unusable for me. The muscle memory is too strong. That and all of the regex and plugin features (ex. LSP) are just too useful.

It’s an electron app…

They’re both fine choices.

You’re very welcome!

Are they saying that the clocks in Androids still use quartz, but iPhones use MEMS clocks, even though they both use general MEMS silicon?

Correct. MEMS technology is used in the accelerometers and gyros in the inertial measurement units (IMUs) that are in pretty much every smartphone. Apple decided to switch to using MEMS clocks, probably because it means that they can reduce part count slightly as it would mean that they can incorporate them on the same chip as the CPU or the like.

Yet it couldn’t save toys r us?

Nope. Because Toys R Us was murdered by an investment firm.

Does indeed sound likely to be an fstab issue, unless system services are being used in a really weird way.

the default is smart

Looking at the systems that are supported, it makes the greatest sense to have the safest failure mode as default. If fault tolerance is available, that can be handled in the entry but, it makes sense but to assume. Having that capability built into the default adds more complexity and reduces support for systems that are not tolerant of a missing mount.

Congrats on passing the exams!

For my use, I would still want the battery/portability. Just without an internal display because I use a 1080p HMD and like playing on the Deck in bed, etc. Add a capability like the joycons but symmetrical and with all of the Deck’s inputs, and I’d be quite happy.

Yeah… It doesn’t happen often and when it does, it’s usually a driver and/or hw issue that is likely to leak memory and/or hold file descriptors but procs in D (uninterruptible_sleep) state do happen. It’s really obnoxious that murdering them with SIGKILL does nothing.

I would actually rather like a Steam Deck without a display but with at least one full USB4 port and the ability to split it similar to a switch.

If it could use apple’s messages.app then i would be so happy.

That’s an Apple problem, not a Steam Deck or Linux problem. Apple refuses to allow support on non-Apple hardware.

I kinda envy folks who think that they have enough geopolitical importance for the CIA/NSA/ThreeLetterAgencies to be keeping tabs on them. I mean, it generally comes with a lot of baggage and delusions but, constantly that level of self-esteem and assuredness must be nice (not that I’m super low in my adult life).

Now, influence campaigns? That’s a different animal altogether. There’ve been too many on the modern Internet for too long.
