I did! I feel proud of myself. Thank you for asking

This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

First time hearing about Briar. So it’s like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I miss old Opera. I want it back

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

There’s also LiteIDE

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what’s changed on every update, though, but that’s because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don’t need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

I’m still trying out different editors from time to time. I always feel like they are lacking in some way in comparison to Emacs. Like, when there’s no key binding to focus the list of references, or one cannot navigate to the beginning of a block, or one cannot navigate by subword. Let’s not forget sexp. Cannot live without it. Or marks, for that matter. Or proper clipboard history that is properly searchable. It’s like the developers has not seen the light yet. Most editors are very mouse driven, and maybe does not focus enough on actual code navigation. I’m biased of course. Though, Helix seems cool.

Side note: Even though I use Emacs, I have nothing against Vim. Heck, I even use it every now and then.

Hah, even!

This state-o-fart user-experience will transport you to the future of user experiences

I admit. This cracked me up.

We all have different levels of insecurity. I think it’s common to not want to hurt the feelings of the ones we love

I second Rawtherapee. I know there’s a lot of love for Darktable, but I personally find the results from Rawtherapee better. Both are great applications

My mind was just blown. Turning off Javascript works, doesn’t it?

Speaking of LaTeX, I really recommend LyX. You don’t need to know any LaTeX to use it, and the result is always satisfying
