Wow, this is pretty good! I might have to finally ditch sway.

Probably to evade some software determining it’s stolen/unlicensed copyrighted content and DMCA-ing/removing it (e.g. YouTube’s Content ID system)?

I’ve had some disagreements with admins of my instance and mods of some communities here and I’m yet to be banned. So, it’s alright I suppose. Although I must say that I’m on the same general side of the political spectrum as the admins.

Most Anarchists I’ve interacted with are from hexbear.net

A text post without a picture would achieve the same result just fine, without stealing work from artists and regurgitating it into a soulless, artifact-ridden and generally ugly picture.

You can already do so incredibly much by hooking up a few extra LSPs and keybinds (calling external scripts/programs)!

Yes, agreed. But I would still love some git integration that can’t be emulated like this. For now git cli + lazygit for more easier refinement works fine, but it’s not ideal.

Emacs Org-Mode like context aware styling, for i.e. Bold or Italic text hints from LSP

Hmm, isn’t this already the case for, like, markdown? Or what do you mean by context-aware?

Nah, the language itself should be as simple as possible. Bloating it with endless extensibility and features is exactly what makes Perl a write-only language in many cases and why it is becoming less and less relevant with time.

I agree, but then there’s also some other niceties that come from expression parsers in the language itself (as noted in the article): syntax highlighting, LSP, a more complete AST for editors like helix.

I honestly think it can be a lot more readable, especially when the regex would have been in the thousands of characters.

Looks neat, does its job.

If you’re a power-user looking at this, you can also look at https://github.com/rgwood/systemctl-tui which is somewhat similar but seems to be more useful (for now), also showing the service logs and being easily navigable with a keyboard.

Seconded. I’m coming from Emacs (+evil), so I’m still missing a few features (proper git integration a-la magit, collaborative editing a-la crdt.el, remote editing a-la tramp). However what is already there works way better/faster/more consistent than any other editor IMHO, and I’ve tried neovim with plugins too. I particularly enjoy the ability to traverse the AST rather than text (Alt+l/p/o/i by default, but I have it remapped to Alt+h/j/k/l). Really looking forward to https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675, I’ll probably write a couple plugins if this ever lands.

This is why I’m kinda excited about WASM. With a WASM backend for GHC, you can now write almost the entire frontend logic in Haskell, with only some minor bindings on the JS side. I really wish that this happens at some point to eliminate the need for JS almost entirely, but I’m not that hopeful anymore.

The notion that prison is only for “housing criminals” is just wrong, and leads to the fucked up legal system you see in the US. Its primary purpose should be reforming someone to become a better person, drop their old ways and rejoin society. The percentage of people who can’t be reformed is vanishingly small if you do it right. And even in those cases, murdering someone just because they require resources to live is wrong. They are still human beings, however fucked up their actions, and deserve life and dignity simply because of that.

Capital punishment is state sanctioned, that is the only difference in my eyes.

No, the main difference is the active and actual threat the person poses. When they are isolated in prison already, they do not pose any further threat.

I don’t think capital punishment (murdering a helpless person in custody) is ever justified. It’s just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

What we have here could be an act of societal self-defense, where the target was in the process of actively harming millions of people, and the legal system wasn’t doing anything to stop it. Whether or not it was self-defense or just a pre-paid hit for some other reason I can’t say, and neither can I judge whether it was justified or not. I just think it’s categorically different from capital punishment.

Phone? Nah. It’s only a tool, used for photography, maps/navigation, messaging while on the go, shopping lists and phone calls for that one time a month you need to make one. Maybe other stuff sometimes, like making a bank transfer when not at home or editing OSM.

I used to be indirectly addicted to it. It was actually doomscrolling Reddit, but now that I’m off it I don’t get the urge anymore.

My desktop is a different story, I’m kind of addicted to it while I’m at home; when outside I don’t really miss it.

It’s quite useful to parse comments and generate documentation from them, either as plain old hypertext or in your editor with LSP.

You may wish to look into NixOS or GNU Guix as taking the same ideas to the logical conclusion, or stal/ix which aspires to take a more traditional approach and in that way is perhaps closer to Gobo. All three are very much alive and actively maintained, even thriving by some metrics.

If I’m honest it’s breathtakingly beautiful. I’ve been around most of Europe and some of Asia, and the only comparable places are Swiss Alps and the Himalayas; however, Georgia is much cheaper than the former and more developed/safe than the latter. It’s also quite tiny but heterogeneous: within a day’s drive you can go from (slightly underwhelming) Black Sea through amazing forests into wild mountains, back down to vineyards and sunflower fields, through a volcanic plateau with otherworldly landscapes and then bathe in hot springs under the starry sky. There’s an insane density of buildings and ruins from dozens of different cultures and epochs, all the way from bronze age to medieval Georgian to Russian colonial style to Soviet-era constructivism. I don’t drink wine but I’ve heard that it’s quite amazing too. My only gripes is that the country might be backsliding into authoritarian rule, and the locals are welcoming but “conservative” (bigoted) to the extent that it’s straight up dangerous for LGBT people to visit.

Back when I was in Russia I’d say it’d be Suzdal, famous for the density of churches and other traditional architecture; or Tarusa, known for that one song that everyone seems to know a couple of lines from, Gorodok (here is a random rendition I found just now), both with just under 10k pop according to the wiki. And, as a bit of a stretch since it’s not a town and most people would call it Solovki, Solovetsky settlement, famous for being a prison, with about 800 people. Also Oymyakon with under 600 people, the coldest settlement on earth if you’re into that sort of thing.

Now in Georgia, I’d say Borjomi with just over 10k pop famous for its water, and Bakuriani (just over 1800 people) for its water and the ski resort. Again a bit of a stretch, but I guess everyone in Georgia at least also knows the ski resort of Gudauri at just under 100 people, as well as mountain resorts of Gomismta and Bakhmaro, both with no permanent residents due to the rough winters. Geography nerds will also be familiar with Ushguli, (arguably) the highest inhabited settlement in Europe, population 220.

TBH Rust is pretty nice, it borrows (pun intended) a lot of ideas from the functional world (algebraic data types, traits, closures, affine types to an extent, composition over inheritance, and the general vibe of type-driven development), but it’s much easier to write fast, efficient code, integrate with decades of libraries in imperative languages, and the ecosystem somehow feels mature already.
