If you weren’t constantly farming karma, it wouldn’t bother you.

Why not critique the content instead?

This is great, been waiting so long for a good Linux tablet. I love my Starlite. I put fedora and phosh on it and watch movies all the time with it.

Thanks, guess codeberg doesn't have much bandwidth. On the other hand it's mostly static text and a css include, should be easy to serve.

Anyone have additional feedback? Seems to have a decent number of votes, but I didn't see it on the front page, even on the second to fifth.

Accounts can most often be closed or deleted permanently when one wants to stop or move. Some can change your address.

It's not hard at all, just a pip install away. Perhaps a rare uninstall later.

It sounds like you haven't read the full thread. It's common for younger developers to be slaves to "best practice" even in exceptions where it doesn't apply.

Appeal to authority is not a compelling argument either.

Promising but very barebones. Hard to do without syntax highlighting these days, for example. But I think it would be useful on a tiny machine with openwrt, as micro is huge there. ;-)

Before I used micro & ne I used nano, and configured the keybindings to work in the CUA style. I still have the dot files, didn't delete them, but they rarely get used anymore.

I think they recently added Ctrl+S to save by default, even if unconfigured, woohoo.

I get a new machine most years from the business.

I suggest a systems administration course if you're having so much trouble with Python libs. It can help, knowing your way around the filesystem and how to use PATHs, etc.

I only ever had it a problem with large, poorly maintained projects from work. You know the kind that have two web frameworks required in the same project, and two orms, etc. ;-) That one I definitely put into a venv. But my stuff, no.

He did and was told to shut up. And how did it work out for the folks who pressed on?

And not only conversations. Employes have been caught sharing revealing videos.
