Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…

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.

It was VPN issue for me. Some IPs in Proton VPN doesn’t work. When I tried a different IP or turned the IP off, I could access again.

Well, but most of the time I don’t care enough to go in.

Better learn COBOL now.

The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username.

This is just like email, I see no problem here.

I think the problem is about the mindset and the onboarding experience. We’ve used too much proprietary products and prefer something easy and not too much diverge from the norms. Recently, I tried to advertise Mastodon and Lemmy to my non-techie friends, which are using X and Reddit. Some did try but gave up. They said they didn’t understand the concept, and didn’t want to bother with choosing an instance in the first place, because they didn’t understand the federation concept. It’s just hard to explain the benefits of the fediverse to non-techie people.

The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users.

I have the same observation as your view. Current fediverse communities are heavily towards tech. Some of my friends joined but gradually left because they had a few to no interactions or no interesting people in their interested areas to follow.

Unpopular opinion: just type “Massive Win”. What’s wrong with it?

Gitlab used to be cute, small, and innovative (as in open). But now it’s too bloated. Gitlab CI is not well designed and half-baked.

That’s interesting to know. Maybe that’s why add-ons don’t work in Firefox iOS or iPad OS.

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

Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.

That’s just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.

Use Vimium add-on and have a pop-up to search your open tab.

Or if you prefer no add-ons or don’t know how to use Vim keybindings then type your search query in the search bar like this:

% my tab title

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.

Cool. Now I just needs a Japanese keyboard and I can finally ditch Gboard.

Ugh, my feed in Lemmy is full of this now. Is it feasible to “lower” the visibility of a keyword like “Musk” or “X”?

So Reddit would go from a social open hub, the “front page of the Internet”, to a walled garden? Ridiculous.

Emacs will be there for you, once vscode Windows gets abandoned.

FTFY.

Just the matter of taste. For some users who want to get to code quickly, they use VSCode without the hassle. For some power users who want to have extreme extensibility, they use Emacs/Vim.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.
