Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !

Summer was not meant for being productive.

Not enough people for even slightly niche communities. Wanna talk about smash brothers ? 732 people, only 2 posts in the last month.

This is why people still use reddit on the side.

I love reading a basic text article on the modern internet…

alias ed=$EDITOR

Extremely convenient on a qwerty keyboard.

This should probably be a default nowadays. Does even a single person here use the real ed ?

alias ed=$EDITOR is my most used alias by far.

ganis :

git add -A && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure -j$(nproc)

Everyone who uses nixos probably has a similar alias set x)

Some people want wealth to expand their stamp collection.

Let this be a lesson : do not re-develop your game engine when it’s almost done already.

You can’t delay your game until it’s perfect as if you were Shigeru Miyamoto. You need to get something playable with a solid base out the dole, and iterate with feedback.

Does Micro have normal keyboard shortcuts instead of the weird ones from nano ?

I don’t like M$, but this is my new number one recommendation for new programmers. It gets them to stay within the command line, while having the normal shortcuts they’re used to from using a computer already.

I love Vim, but it’s a chore to learn when you’re also learning programming on top. Emacs is even worse, it tricks you by being a non-modal GUI, but your keyboard shortcuts all do something new and slightly insane now.

The most important thing about social media is the first word : it’s social.

This sounds like a technically impressive medium, but if it fails to get a healthy community (which means, not just 4chan bros) then it will die.

Codeberg is great in my experience, but my usage isn’t very intensive, so I can’t speak for its speed if you push it.

Turns out “free speech” on a platform controlled by one guy can only ever be a lie.

CloudFlare keeps blocking me, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

Their mitigation comes at the cost of legitimate users being blocked, despite correctly identifying the bicycles in 16 different captchas in a row…
