That was my immediate thought as well. "Ok, you built a desktop environment. Why? What can it do that can't be easily obtained elsewhere?"
I knew I recognized it from somewhere, thanks for the context
it's already prohibitively expensive for most people since most insurance doesn't cover it. Doesn't really seem like a solution.
Edit: in the US. Can't speak for other nations.
You're arguing in bad faith, the point is that limiting access to speech platforms is not in the interest of citizens and only serves the government.
Wow that’s quite convincing!
> Unschooling works for some, mostly those who have a desire to self-direct. That's not everyone.
Definitely agree, I've also seen a non-zero number of parents using (home/un)schooling as an excuse to basically not parent their children and have intentionally disconnected from those communities
This is very similar to my own experience. Having the freedom to try things out and explore my interests at a young age had a large impact later, and gave me a real sense of personal direction that I see many of my peers lacking.
I do find many of the arguments in this article somewhat nonsensical, but this one in particular hits home.
Cool project, writing a lexer/parser/tokenizer for a simple language was an enjoyable and gratifying experience when I dabbled in the past. It's fun to learn about how those things work in such a hands-on way.
Coming from a similar background I found that it was super helpful to create my own keybinds for stuff like navigating forward/backward through tabs, toggling the sidebar etc. Before I did that I felt similarly that it was too mouse dependent.
The VSCode Vim extension has a `gh` key sequence for showing the hover info you normally have to use the mouse for that made switching much easier.
This concept is explored in-depth in the Hyperion book series. Highly recommended if you like the genre :)
I was under the impression JMAP was just a sync protocol and had nothing to do with js in email. Is that incorrect?
Seems like great news if you work for Epic
Oh no, This hits a little too close to home
Reading this was like holding up a mirror. I’m also 32 and recently realized i need to learn how to spend a healthy amount of time away from a screen.
Getting stuck in “career” mode consumed the majority of the last decade. Self taught is not an easy path, but my life is much better than it would have been had i continued what i was doing before getting into tech.
Now i just want to play an instrument and sit outside. :)
Streisand effect in full swing
I'm inclined to agree, though I feel they're already pretty hands-off for most things that don't have corporate interest or overreaching power driving them.
> I really wish politicians would embrace a "we will make policies for things we can understand" motto.
I don't think they'd make many policies if that were the case
Needs Jira to be useful for me, very cool idea though!
Complaining is easy. If you don't like how modern UI's work, do something about it instead of making more noise.
