That’s precisely why I wrote “lighter and stronger”.

Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can’t imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this “revolutionary” bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.

Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.

“Most users want a no fuss os” and “very few have software and drive managers” sound quite contradictory, doesn’t it?

Not sure if you know this but with Gmail (and I bet that almost with any other email service) you can approach this - instead of the ‘-’ character you use a ‘+’ and set custom filters and tags for each ‘+’ you want. I’ve been doing this for ages with it - though as a third world person I can’t afford privacy by paying a third party subscription nor setting a home server and running local services 24/7 by paying more electricity.

No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can’t open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to “see”/“edit” more than one file at the same time.

Not to mention there aren’t things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59

The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I’m not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don’t really miss anything else. vis’ phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.

What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis’ main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn’t seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I’m trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.

If by any chance here’s someone else using vis, I salute you!

I am from a third world country and find this offensive.

To those who downvote, really?

Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

Take my posts in [email protected] - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.

Farmer is systemd/kerneld*

Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons

TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism

Given he’s mentioned Colombia in this video I’m commenting here. And because it makes me remember the very first bicycle I ever had, which was a steel one with Monark decals though I’m not really sure if it was actually made by Monark. It kinda look like this one but was dark green and had a non-chopper plastic black saddle.

Growing up and living in the suburbs of Bogotá and the countryside I can’t be completely sure if I have ever seen a Buffalo here, but most probably at some time I’ve seen one.

And it can be because you can find even cheaper new bikes here - though not even half as good or reliable as this one - but because its weight and single-speed-ness, which for we people in the andean range is really a big deal. Though for people in other areas of the country this can be absolutely fantastic and Seth explains those reasons very well in this video.

But even then people like my father would really like a bike like this - he was a farmer and used to go around to work on an old steel single-speed road bike. On the way uphill it was useful even not being able to ride it but because he could tie some bag or stuff or something and aid him carry the load, on the way down home he just rode it and saved time getting there.

And noting that it’s not just him who used to use bikes that way but many people who work in farming and rural living you can understand why a bike like that is really appreciated - not to travel really long distances with it but to aid them with their travel which in other way would be a tough hike, and being absolutely reliable with minimal maintenance.

He told me sometimes people in bike shops tried to talk to him into putting gears to it (it had a rear derailleur hanger but no front derailleur hanger nor mounts for friction shifters) but he liked the simplicity of maintenance of the thing.

Another detail he doesn’t mention in the video (or not that I could understand if he did) is if the pump can be carried mounted somewhere with the bike and carry it - my father had one of those long pumps mounted below the down tube of his bike and it was pretty neat to be honest, I even did that for some time with my bike too.

Hell, I’d like a bike like that too but I just happen to hate squared bottom brackets.

Not sure but it seems to me most major distributions offer you to do a separate /home partition by default? I may be wrong but this happens with the likes of Fedora and Ubuntu? Or at least they do recommend to make it that way

I mean, it can be faster than your average distro on some scenarios. Mostly if you know your way in kernel config.

Though most of its real advantages are in the form of a lean system completely tailored to your needs.

It seems to me most of that Gentoo FUD comes from people that never even tried to install it or gave up because apparently reading a wiki is too hard for them.

Of course not, they also need to pay tribute to our Lords and Saviors Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds and make reverences to our supreme god Tux.

It’s just that they make all of that with extra steps.

ChromeOS and TempleOS swapped places. You don’t use TempleOS because you want a computer, you use TempleOS because you want Jesus in your computer.

Now the question is why Terry did all that job instead of making a Clippy version of Jesus for Office and call it quits.

Actually there’s some support for Wayland. Tried it last year, but had to do serious rummage trying to make it work. For starters I can recall it spitted a video but the command throwed an error at the end and could not understand why. Also i seem to recall the video stopped way after finishing the command.

Even had to recompile all of ffmeg to add support for wayland recording (though Gentoo makes this really easy). One thing for certain is that Gentoo’s ffmpeg stable version is fairly behind from upstream’s so that could have had a hand on it too.
