I've been using /e/OS for years. Since 2025 I'm on Pixel 9A and GOS. It's excellent. Everything I need works great. Updates are so frequent. Attention to details regarded to security is amazing. My favorite mobile OS.

Presumably I speak not only for myself. My reply is zero. Zero is the exact number of fucks given.

Sublime Text user here, it's been my go to editor for the last few years. The best. A keeper.

Touchscreen/voice control are good mostly for manufacturers, since they allow reducing production costs while increasing profit. We must not allow them trying to convince us that their benefit is ours.

(active researcher in schizophrenia here)

I don't think we have a better, readily available solution to the problem than a public peer network (such as https://pubpeer.com/) monitoring the published papers, especially those "groundbreaking breakthroughs". Also, AI algorithms should be applied for the purpose. Every research funded from public funds should be freely available, together with datasets and auxiliary data (scripts, etc). Study preregistration should be obligatory.

Coordination of the scientific project is also very important, but that's out of my competence.

I couldn't find anything resembling "Send code to REPL", so no Zed for me.

ElectronBadger — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:33:15 +0000

This is only an indirect measure, but:

1. CVE Chrome vulnerabilities: 3415 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html)

2. CVE Firefox vulnerabilities: 2622 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html)

Bitwig, SublimeText, Tusky (Mastodon client for Android), Midnight Commander, my highly customized i3 setup.

I've been using i3 exclusively for the last few years. I gels so well with my workflow, I can't see myself returning to a non-tiling WM.
