oh is there a controversy with BSD?

as someone who is perpetually an intermediate beginner in all things in the computer science world (even though I have a CS degree):

(And, as a long time vim user who has moderate knowledge on what vim can do for me, and has grown up with ctags, cscope, fzf)

Does anybody else feel like we need to tame the complexity that is neovim configuration? Distros exist but they just package the complexity into sane defaults. Argh! every way of handling this seems boils down to trade-off and preferences if i go down the rabbit hole far enough.

but I feel like there should be a better way to organize this complexity. The other day I gave up trying to understand lua and just asked an LLM to set me up the LSP, tree-sitter, telescope, which-key, and few more plugins.

The most important thing I remember and share was I wanted to make these powerful plugins able to take advantage of each others’ expressive behaviors.

One example is LSP operation that has multiple results like “All references to this symbol” can be displayed and moved to with a telescope window, while binding it to ctags like key-binds.

I keep trying to learn lua and lua tables and it just doesn’t stick after sometime. Maybe my brain isn’t as elastic anymore now that i am above 30 or something.

so effectively what we want is a society that brutalises and marginalises a certain community to ensure there is a stream of desperate people to take “those” jobs?

the commitment is from open source maintainers who honestly need to see some support and traction. Hopefully the idea that necessity is the mother of all inventions motivates the few who still have 486 chips to contribute support.

She can be black if she wants to be. Same way a person can be the gender they feel most comfortable being. It none of anybody else’s business as it doesn’t affect them.

Trying to control what others do, on the other hand… is deplorable.

Actually I also pronounce it as en-ginks. The parent comment was not obvious to me

that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it

came to comment the same. But it’s been a while since I was in tiling window land so not sure if it matches what the poster is looking for.

unless you strap a screen the size of your phone on to your wrist it’s not happening.

where is your evidence? Out of this world?

as I said in one of the other federated posts:

Utter bullshit that anybody would expect Ukraine to fix Russian pipeline supplying Russian allies and thus funding Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Humans can’t help but elect/allow imbeciles into positions of power.

lol this is like cartoon level deceit.

“Show me the damage”

“No it’s dangerous and we are slowly making progress”

Although, it’s mighty rich of Orban to be demanding anything at this point.

yes… the doctors usually advice me against breathing in too much vaccuum or be trapped in zero G for months

Instructions unclear… Am vampire now.

Case in point*

I think you’re the one who keeps thinking about what your friends recommended. They simply gave you an option and moved on. you on the other hand seem to have devolved into a crusade against an alternative choice in running your own OS.

Honestly I have never heard of upscroll. Whatever you did sounds like a good thing to me, especially the “Here’s more of the thing with more people and ticking more of your boxes you can be a part of” as a suggestion.

It doesn’t sound as tone deaf as “Use Linux” advice, although it’s also an area where I wish people took “Use Linux” as more of a “Here’s something you like” instead of “YOU MUST DO THIS”.

it’s a way of doing things with programs that you don’t have to think about. moving your hand to the mouse, clicking or double clicking the window, dragging it to the appropriate corner and waiting for snapping to toggle are all too slow compared to a keyboard shortcut to open and tile left, right, bottom, or stacked in i3.

this mouse movement is even ambiguous on mac os which requires external apps to make the experience marginally above suck.

The main thing is you want to commit these actions to muscle memory to free up your conscious effort on whatever it is you are trying to focus on.
