Most of the music I listen to fits under the alternative umbrella. While I never actually spent a lot of time directly on /mu/ that type of online music culture circa ten years ago has been very influential on my music taste. A couple of years ago I also had a big emo phase, in particular 90's emo and 10's emo revival. I also listen to a lot of punk and post hardcore.

People have scrutinized what chatgpt for example is allowed and not allowed to say by its programmers. I think the difference here is that there is lower hanging fruit to grab because the Chinese state has a different relationship to censorship than a lot of other states.
I also associate Sinophobia with being prejudiced against Chinese people or Chinese culture, however being critical or skeptical of the Chinese state is actually perfectly reasonable. I'm also very critical of the US state and this isn't because I'm "americaphobic" or some nonsense.
Please explain how this is Sinophobic.
I've interpreted the “I want smaller games with less graphics and I’m not kidding” meme as saying that we need AA games rather than indies. Games with large-ish teams but less crunch and less complicated asset creation pipelines and more space to fix bugs and iterate on the core game.
One thing that I don't think anyone else has mentioned is data structures. Bash does have arrays and hashmaps at least but I've found that working with them is significantly more awkward than in e.g. python. This is one of several reasons for why bash doesn't scale up well, but sure for small enough scripts it can be fine (if you don't care about windows)
Sure, what I'm saying is that they're both editors that you need to invest time in. A bit less so with helix since it has better defaults so you don't need to spend as much time configuring it, but I don't think that makes a huge difference.
Helix has better defaults for sure and I get why people might prefer it but I have a very hard time imagining it being a better choice than vim in every situation even with a lot more development.
Also, if you work with programming for example your editor is going to be one of your main tools and I think that "reading guides" is an acceptable amount of effort to put in to learning such a tool. Vim has a higher barrier of entry than it needs to (this can to some extent be explained with backwards compatability) but with Helix you still have to put some time in to understanding the editing model anyway.
The biggest thing missing from helix right now imo is plugin support, so a lot of plugins that I really like wouldn't be available. I use fugitive a lot for working with git for example.
Another one is the quickfix list in combination with ex commands. One thing you can do for example is setup :make to run your compiler and then when you get compilation errors they'll show up in your quickfix list. You can then use :Cfilter to focus on one type of error and then :cdo to for example do a find and replace on the remaining lines.
In general, if I don't have an lsp available for whatever reason (I work in cmake a fair amount at my $DAYJOB for example) I would much rather use vim, in particular because of the stuff that you can do with ex commands that I mentioned above (also works great with grep) but also because of the ctags support.
Helix can do a lot of nice things out of the box for a lot of cases of software editing, but it's not nearly as broad or as customizable of a tool as vim
I don't really see the point in a "facebook competitior" since the only appeal of facebook is that it's "normal" and "evryone" is on it, something that just isn't going to be true for e.g. some fediverse product. Everyone should stop using facebook if possible though, I'm trying to persuade different messenger groupchats that I'm part of to switch to something else left and right personally
Vim still has a lot of advantages over helix. Being modern doesn't automatically make a tool better
I've been wanting a phone with a keyboard for a long time, I don't think I'll get this one (I specifically got a fairphone in part so I wouldn't have to think about buying a new phone for a couple of years) but I think that this could be really nice for some specific usecases that are underserved today.

One of my acquaintances has actually made a small game in Odin (Cat and Onion) and after that written a book about the language (Understanding the Odin Programming Language). I don't know much about Odin myself but from what I've gathered there isn't that much quality documentation or that many good tutorials etc. so it can be a bit hard to get in to the language, which is why he decided to write the book.
