I tried openshot, shotcut and kdenlive. They all felt rather cheap. Flowblade was a nice surprise tho.

> mainly to reduce the memory and app size footprints, which are the main things everybody complains about with Electron
Those are annoyances. But the way an app feels and behaves is the main culprit IMHO. I'd rather have a heavy app that looks and feels native than the other way around.
I don't know about museeks tho. Never tried it. But best of luck with the port in any case!
> the use of this language is widespread and subject to rapid global growth
Touché!
VMWare has the best virtual graphics performance IMHO. Hyper-V or Virtualbox is just painful in comparison. Until graphic vendors support partitioning GPU resources to allow sharing the main GPU to a VM using passthrough, it will likely remain one of the best options for many.
Looks like a solid approach. I've mostly gravitated in the same direction after my last "mystery disease". I would add yoga/meditation and mindfulness to that list as well as the importance of sleep. Sleep seem to impact me more than anything else. I used to be up all night working and coding. I like the night. But it seems more and more obvious to me how bad this is for my wellbeing. That, and also to get enough natural sunlight during the day, but this is also intimately linked with sleep of course.
No it's not about the internet for me, just the work aspects of sitting in front of a computer. But i will admit that all the remote work and studies did NOT help at all. I pretty sure that being starved of almost all (real) social interactions during that period contributed to this situation.
Alright i'll consider talking to someone. I think i might get access to a counselor through my uni. And when my economy gets better i can seek out a professional. Thanks for the advice, it's nice to know someone else went through something like this and made it through!
The pomodoro approach seems like a step in the right direction. I'll try it out for sure!
I'm also considering moving to a low carb approach instead of keto. Only reason i stayed in ketosis for so long is it's actually quite pleasant and from what i can tell from studies it increases GABA in the brain which is a godsend when you're struggling emotionally.
Thanks for the suggestions fellow human.

So i find myself in this interesting situation after having struggled a few years where i've had a few stressful jobs (web developer) and rather demanding university studies.
I had some kind of burnout (or long covid, don't really know) last year and have been slowly recovering to the point that i can function again. But i still need to make money, as well as finish my university studies, but i...
> and I found ruby to be really difficult to understand
This is my one pain point with JS actually. I've tried getting comfortable for literally years. Sometimes when i look at how stuff is done in JS, it's so incredibly alien to me. I just can't wrap my head around what is happening.
I was hoping it would go away with time. Unfortunately it doesn't. Maybe it's the "flexibility" of the language or something.
> There are a few basic features missing, such as that if I search for something I wrote in the notes of password, that the client shows the according password
It might be that your search term is a partial of a word. This is fine when searching some fields, but for finding entries with that word in the notes section, the search term needs wildcards. You can read more about it here: https://bitwarden.com/help/searching-vault/
But to paraphrase: "notes: Item's notes. Only full-word matches will be listed unless you use wildcards."
Hope it helps.
This! Why would you at LEAST not give the option? It's such a central piece of the whole OS. We interact with windows ALL the time. I'm getting too old for this crap LOL.
Wow i didn't know about that project. Thanks for sharing!
I wish they could finally include some mechanism to map running WSL instances to a hostname / static ip. Also, a big difference to running a vmware instance is that you never know when the WSL instance is shut down, and you can't save the "state", that is, hibernate or suspend it.
Honestly, i just want a replacement for vmware that uses less resources. So i can run a completely isolated desktop for each project i'm working on. Suspend it, reboot my machine, and then load it up and continue where i left off, all windows and terminal sessions intact. The last bit assumes one can run a (non ephermal) graphical desktop of course, which rules out docker pretty much.
Check out Ujjayi or "oceans breath" if you're interested in breathwork. The latter name refers to the sound that happens as you breathe in and out in this way. All you need to do is to constrict the back of your throat as you exhale, which makes the exhale longer in a very organic and natural fashion. Because of the slower exhalation it is said to stimulate the vagus nerve in a very positive manner. More people need to learn about the link between a healthy body (and mind) and the vagus nerve IMHO.
> guess it would be best to create a mini app (reading a list of things from a backend and render it and maybe delete something from the list) in two or three frontend frameworks and then choose the one that felt the nicest for you.
This is really good advice. I did that when evaluating react, vue and angular once upon a time. It was pretty clear to me after that what framework i would like to work with, despite what people said about each one at the time.
I'd like to add monk fruit to that list. Usually you wanna combine:
(monk fruit OR stevia) + (erythritol OR xylitol)
to get a very nice flavor. Stevia or monk fruit on their own are "flat" in sweetness but very strong. The xylitol or erythritol gives some fullness, or body.
I knew planned obsolescence was a thing, but this is just insane to me! At best, it's really disingenuous (which is bad enough). No wonder we have so many conspiracy theorists. They've somehow socially engineered this situation to be acceptable (and relatively unknown).
That is super interesting, thanks for sharing! Sometimes, less is more.
Which sucks if you like me want to keep virtual spaces (or desktops) separated. I only want to see windows (or apps) running on the current desktop in the dock, which kind of breaks that (apple app) model i suppose. This is doable in windows (and a few DEs in linux) but not in Mac OS unfortunately.
Wow, i didn't know that Window 11 is forcing grouping of windows. This is pretty my biggest problem with Mac OS which is why i always stayed with Windows. No reason to do so any more i guess.
> why can't I filter out apps that aren't open source?
This is laughable. It's 2021 and we still can't to basic filtering in our app stores. Maybe google (and Apple) engineers only know SELECT, but haven't learned about WHERE yet? Yeah i know it's a little much to demand. I mean we only went to the moon like 52 years ago.
I often wondered i could build some sort of general computing machine if we were pushed back to the dark ages or something. I guess you have to define exactly at what level of technological achievements we were pushed back to. But with the knowledge we have today, and without ICs (or advanced manufacturing facilities) and only "simple electronics" (whatever that would be) if this would be possible. Fun stuff to think about!
Honestly, i feel that JS needs an official standard library. Also, wouldn't it be nice if typescript was a first class citizen (no transpiling).
Absolutely. I am nitpicking. And i am in a mood to debate to be honest so i hope you're not offended. I too use commonly accepted assumptions in daily life. However, in debates i try to steer clear of them (reasons outlined above). But to each his own! Have a good night fellow human :)
I don't wanna be a jerk, but honestly that proves my point. The correct wording would be; "there's a high probability that we can". But saying "we can" is clear cut. You provide strong arguments, but unless you have a time machine, you can't argue in definitives.
Just because lots of people do it doesn't mean it's a rational thing to do. As i see it, the only thing that matters in science is to be factual. If we stop being impeccable with our words, we are no better than the conspiracy nuts.
To say that the evidence would have been here now is simply not true because we can't possibly know WHEN symptoms will present.
What would be more appropriate would be to say that in the time frame from when people started getting vaccinated until now it doesn't seem like the vaccines are causing to many serious side effects. That is fair to say. What about in 5 years? We DON'T know. This is a fact.
> We've now administered billions of doses of Covid vaccines. If there were serious problems they'd be evidence by now.
Listen, this sort of argumentation creates mistrust. If this is how seemingly rational people argue (and dear god i hope it's not) then no wonder there is a lot of mistrust in society around these matters. Or maybe you were sarcastic, and in that case, you got me!
