This is actually not a good advice, from my experience. If we don’t monitor, refactor, or improve the code, the software will rot, sooner or later. “Don’t touch” doesn’t mean we don’t ever think about the code, but we make the conscious choice not to modify it.

This + org-mode are enough for me to switch to Emacs.

Also excited for this. I tried KDE before but I didn’t find it easy to configure (too manually for a declarative guy like me). I like more the simplicity of Gnome.

Better learn COBOL now.

This is the real problem.

Ehm… Elliot uses Gnome.

Second. Up-to-date packages and stable at the same time.

Same. I gave up the first time due to tedious details and weird control. I played it again with some control tweak (can’t remember what I changed) and tried to embrace the slow details, and completely loved the story.

I actually prefer that—a simple messenger without gifs and stickers, just plain text.

I’m not promoting WhatsApp in this case though. It’s one thing it’s done right, besides end-to-end encryption.

Seriously, Youtube Shorts, Tiktok, Facebook stories can go to hell.

Let’s build the Internet again, starting from Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. One step at a time.

Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.

When you learn to do something, you love it more.

Nowadays, we’re mostly given something and we don’t value it.

Not OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.

Joke aside, for an open question I’d prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.

SO is too strict on its policy.

How do you do that?

The problem with YouTube is that is so easy to just default to letting it feed your brain.

True, a typical example is YouTube Shorts. I hate that 15-second trend.
