I'm surprised to hear that niri didn't work for you, I feel like it's a really good middle ground between tiling and floating window managers. It handles a lot of window resizing and arranging for me, without being too rigid. Windows can have any width they need without having to evenly divide my monitor.

I feel like this is regional, because I keep hearing it but I never run into these places.

You may be able to get by in the US without a credit card, but every purchase will literally cost you 2-5% more if you aren't making smart use of them.

Yes, Jobs is kind of an exception to my general point, but I think it's a bad idea to live your life assuming you can be the exception.

I'm also not talking about having a great fashion sense though, and it's okay to prefer a more casual look. Just pay a little attention to how you dress and care for yourself.

I was going to comment something similar to this. To an extent, dressing and grooming well is a sign of respect you show to other people as well as to yourself. If you can't clear that relatively low bar, don't be surprised when people aren't super excited about what you might add to their lives.

Anecdotally, I found I developed a dependence on nicotine pouches very quickly. It was also very easy to exceed the nicotine equivalent of a pack of cigarettes daily without even noticing.

But it was also easy to quit by substituting nicotine-free pouches, and withdrawal symptoms only lasted like 3 days.

The 3 justifications I remember for Wayland were security (isolating windows from each other), multi DPI, and eliminating tearing. All are now features of XLibre.

Lem is an Emacs-like editor built in Common Lisp. It's very impressive and usable for its age and I can see why some people see it as a better Emacs. Still has nowhere near the mindshare of Emacs, though, and it has a long way to go before it can match the Emacs ecosystem.

Nah, Chris is definitely a real sysadmin and his blog has been pretty popular in this space for a long time.

To be fair to corporate, Emacs has a pretty terrible security model.

There's no reason a program like Emacs couldn't exist which had something like capabilities baked in, but as it is, every package has access to anything it wants.

I've read a couple articles like this now, and my dream device is an e-ink tablet that is programmable by handwriting. Something like Emacs crossed with the Remarkable tablet crossed with a new programming language optimized for handwriting.

I don't want VR headsets. I don't want AI voice assistants. I don't want robots. I just want this.

Sadly nobody else is clamoring for it...
