I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

It brings me joy that a bunch of my pixels is me trying to create a border between the flags, and someone else going "oh no, you don't". I had to give up, of course. Had a great time

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what's changed on every update, though, but that's because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don't need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

I'm still trying out different editors from time to time. I always feel like they are lacking in some way in comparison to Emacs. Like, when there's no key binding to focus the list of references, or one cannot navigate to the beginning of a block, or one cannot navigate by subword. Let's not forget sexp. Cannot live without it. Or marks, for that matter. Or proper clipboard history that is properly searchable. It's like the developers has not seen the light yet. Most editors are very mouse driven, and maybe does not focus enough on actual code navigation. I'm biased of course. Though, Helix seems cool.

Side note: Even though I use Emacs, I have nothing against Vim. Heck, I even use it every now and then.

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it's a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Two things pop up

  • I once left an alert() asking "what the fuck?". That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
  • I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

This state-o-fart user-experience will transport you to the future of user experiences

I admit. This cracked me up.

I really enjoy Mojeek. It gives you results you would not get anywhere else. I see high value in that

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index. I remember that they said that they were to create their own index, but the results looks suspiciously similar to Bing. Swisscows for sure runs their own index, and I find the results to be rather good
