Helix is, but I don't think Zed is? At least not by default. It has a command palette and multi-buffer, multi-cursor, but not visual/normal/nsert/etc AFAIK

Zed's pretty new on the scene, but it's worth a look

Y'all know what I do fer a livin'

Reminded me of Quint from Jaws!

Endless Sky for me

Feel exactly this... Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

*sigh can't have any fun in the DOT I guess

• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services.. and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it's dying this month

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work...

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

... 🙄

Crazy workstation though -- wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

• William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I'll be able to get by.

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop...

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem -- but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an "IDE"...

I came from an art background, but have now been working as a professional developer in network software automation for about 4 years. I got my first job (a lucky break) working for a large ISP here in the US. It was a pretty good gig, the people were mostly nice and I learned a lot very fast--the work was consistently interesting and rewarding.

A co-worker approached me two years ago with a contract offer (moonlighting for 20 hrs a week) at an NREN - National Research and Education Network based out of San Francisco. Fully remote, using software and languages I knew, and the contract pay was good.

Fast forward a year, contract was up and they offered me a FTE position. I accepted, because the international community that this NREN peers with is all about promoting science and research -- essentially a "boutique ISP" that connects laboratories around the USA and the world. The "mission" isn't to serve ads to people, or harvest any data; the only goal is to connect scientists and researchers. Look at this wiki for a list of how many there are!

Anyway, just giving you one option at least to see if there are any opportunities in this space, since I too despise what big tech has become (sorry for the long-winded response).
