I've been using /e/OS for years. Since 2025 I'm on Pixel 9A and GOS. It's excellent. Everything I need works great. Updates are so frequent. Attention to details regarded to security is amazing. My favorite mobile OS.

Presumably I speak not only for myself. My reply is zero. Zero is the exact number of fucks given.

Re:I still like Sublime Text in 2025 on Wednesday January 29, 2025 @04:13AM (#42863037)
Sublime Text user here, it's been my go to editor for the last few years. The best. A keeper.
Re:Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use? on Saturday January 18, 2025 @05:12AM (#42747253)
The Old Reader (https://theoldreader.com) in the browser.
Touchscreen/voice control are good mostly for manufacturers, since they allow reducing production costs while increasing profit. We must not allow them trying to convince us that their benefit is ours.
Re:Six top Alzheimer's researchers accused of fraud on Monday October 21, 2024 @08:31AM (#41903457)
(active researcher in schizophrenia here)

I don't think we have a better, readily available solution to the problem than a public peer network (such as https://pubpeer.com/) monitoring the published papers, especially those "groundbreaking breakthroughs". Also, AI algorithms should be applied for the purpose. Every research funded from public funds should be freely available, together with datasets and auxiliary data (scripts, etc). Study preregistration should be obligatory.

Coordination of the scientific project is also very important, but that's out of my competence.

I couldn't find anything resembling "Send code to REPL", so no Zed for me.

I'm all for Sublime Text and Merge, my daily drivers for all kinds of writing..
This is only an indirect measure, but:

1. CVE Chrome vulnerabilities: 3415 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html)

2. CVE Firefox vulnerabilities: 2622 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html)

I think it's "we'll milk all the suckers".
Re:Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using? on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @04:49PM (#40069913)
Bitwig, SublimeText, Tusky (Mastodon client for Android), Midnight Commander, my highly customized i3 setup.
I've been using i3 exclusively for the last few years. I gels so well with my workflow, I can't see myself returning to a non-tiling WM.
Re:Pandoc on Friday February 02, 2024 @02:42PM (#39233189)
I do all my scientific writing in Markdown (SublimeText + JabRef for bibliography). In ST I have a macro that runs Pandoc to convert .md files to .odt/.odp, including images and formatted references. Wonderful program to work with.

Re:AMD May Get Across the CUDA Moat on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @09:54AM (#37844434)
On my PC workstation (Debian Testing) I have absolutely no problems running NVIDIA PNY Quadro P2200, which I'm going to upgrade with PNY Quadro RTX 4000 soon. I'd love to make a switch for AMD Radeon, but the very short (and shrinking) list of ROCm supported cards makes this move highly improbable for the not-so-nearest future.
Re:ROCm Is AMD's #1 Priority, Executive Says on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @11:00AM (#37675621)
Really? Than you might explain why this list is so pitifully short: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/release/gpu_os_support.h... and will get even shorter: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/CHANGELOG.html#amd-insti... I'm so for AMD, but in terms of easily-accessible GPU computing ROCm is way behind CUDA.
Re:Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O on Monday September 18, 2023 @01:25PM (#37559131)
After using it for brief while, I'd say that I like it. It will not replace may daily driver (Midnight Commander), but it's good for fast preview/rename/delete actions.

Re:I shamefully paid for Sublime Text on Thursday September 14, 2023 @12:38AM (#37505032)
I paid for SublimeText and SublimeMerge and will happily pay another time, when my v3 license expires. While I'm mostly in the FOSS camp, Sublime software, together with Bitwig Studio (https://www.bitwig.com) and Reaper (https://www.reaper.fm), are the pinnacle of commercial products in their categories.
