  • What kind of text editing do you do? Coding? Config files? Hard to recommend if we don’t know the use case :P

    If you want to get into terminal text-editors, I recommend https://helix-editor.com/ . It’s modal like vi/vim/neovim etc., but has much easier and more intuitive keybinds, and comes batteries-included and doesn’t require extensions.

    Downsides: Not fully mature, there’s no extension support so not suited for very niche use-cases. And if you ever have to administrate a server through SSH, it will likely only have vim which has different motions and keybinds.

    Been using it for 99% of my coding for three ish years, very happy.






  • Makes sense I guess. A senior already knows what the possible approaches are, and knows the correct terminology. They will be able to give a much more precise prompt, and a better review.

    A junior needs to figure stuff out for themselves, and that’s good.

    Personally I avoid AI because it’s just more enjoyable to write code than to review and change it.


  • What I’m saying is that integer scaling is no longer required. I’ve been using non-integer scaling on laptops for the last three ish years on Plasma, and I’ve seen the number of apps that can’t handle it go from a few to almost none. I’m not missing out, I’m living the dream :D

    That being said you make a good point. With (good) fractional scaling support on linux being very recent and only working properly on certain desktops, some resolutions are not optimal. I imagine 1440p and such isn’t great. A linux laptop should at least provide a warning.








  • Wow just two days ago I see a post about how Lemmy is dominated by men and how that could become a problem, and today I see a comment section where all the incels come out of the woodwork.

    “waaa somebody wants to solve a problem that has never affected me I’m the victim”

    “omg what if people talk behind my back they might find out I’m an asshole? literally 1984”

    “wadabout if this app was racist?!? checkmate”

    I’m not saying this app is good or bad (I can definitely see the problems) but if an article about cybersecurity gets posted and this is our first reaction, makes me lose hope in Lemmy.

    Edit: Responses have made very good points and I think I was off, thanks guys. I still think some of the early comments I encountered were rather reactionary
