One of the points the article makes is that people boost such content despite knowing it’s fake because it confirms what they’re ’feeling’. Want to feel outrage? Here’s an image that will let you and others feel that. Truth? Irrelevant.

In short: it’s the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ crowd doing what they do best: recasting reality as a jumble of vague feelings.

Oooooohh

Vivaldi is chrom_ium_. Been trying out the last month on macOS. Great browser, although it’s funny how for some settings you get taken to a different page that looks 100% like Chrome except with Vivaldi branding.

Vivaldi on iOS doesn’t feel as great though – less ‘native’. Certain gestures and animations just don’t quite fit.

Shoutout to Webkit-based Orion for both platforms. Slowly gravitating to that

Same energy: this legendary comment in an issue on the Docker github repo (by the issue OP, no less)

Wait, what happened to LinkedIn?

I’d love to switch back to Linux but this is why I moved back to macOS for good several years ago. Once I got a taste of reading code at 4k/retina (faux-4k) – not to mention the better font support – there was no going back, for me at least.

If it’s considered user error for someone to want a high DPI display in 2024, then I can only surmise that people who share that sentiment have convinced themselves that more eye strain is a worthwhile tradeoff for FOSS. Commendable but a tough sell.

Another vote for hx!

Getting a productive setup for Python work is a matter of a few extra lines of TOML. The pre-release version on master also allows for multiple LSPs per language, which means I can combine pyright with ruff.

The modal key chords are verb-object instead of object-verb. It’s not a main selling point to me. However, you get multi-cursors out of the box, which I’ve always found simpler than e.g. macros. In general, keybindings are discoverable. I learn something new every week.

All in all, despite a few rough edges, it’s a nice alternative to needing to get a PhD in neovim configuration to get anywhere remotely near the cool setups other people are rocking.
