Uebercomplicated

I've definitely raged against printers........ (I'll see you in hell Epson ink refills!)

I do most of my work on my laptop, which has a really shitty touchpad (a system76 pangolin 12). Using the touchpad to scroll, move around, etc. feels clunky and frustrating. Using my wonderful keyboard feels amazing, quick, and responsive. Honestly, that's the main reason I use neovim; touchpads, especially bad ones, just feel clumsy, imprecise, and inefficient.

Now I've gotten used to typing nv and, in under 30 milliseconds, getting a full-featured, LSP-supporting text editor. Other editors trigger my impatience now 😂. The features are secondary to me, they're not what makes nvim great.

If there were two things that are a game changer for me though, they would probably be <C-o> (mixed with plugins like trailblazer) and the incredible ease of use that vim macros offer.

Wait really, or is this a joke?

My bad, it's a track from "The Sickness"

Isn't "down with the sickness" a Disturbed album?

I know that in German horse apples certainly refer to poop—sorry, feces! As well as Kaka; in fact, that was the first word I learned for feces!

I suppose ray-tracing is rather suggestive of games, you're right. Well, I'll take it as an accident by the author and rest easy. Thanks for the correction!

The topic is bloatware, not games. Very different. When it comes to gaming, the hardware costs are a given (for the sake of innovation, as you put it); but when it comes to something fundamental to your computer—think of the window manager or even the operating system itself—bloat is like poison in the hardware's veins. It is not innovation. It is simply a waste of precious resources.

Thank you!

Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)

Thanks for the correction/elaboration! Yeah, banks most of the time seem to be a rather terrifying depiction of all the shitty parts of capitalism, though I still think the root of the problem lies with our imagining of currency.

(As someone who has never studied economics) The purpose of banks is to encourage the act of saving money. The problems you describe are with money itself; money, which is essentially a virtual representation of debt. I can highly recommend reading “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” by David Grabber.
