For those who are not WWE fans, I would still recommend going back to the late 1990s and early 2000s and watch Linda McMahon's on-screen role in the company at the time. By all accounts, what she was like on-screen is what she was like off-screen: A completely wooden personality devoid of charisma, looking, sounding, and acting like a badly written AI reading off cue cards. Even when she was CEO of the company, her only actual duties were to just do whatever Vince told her to do while he used her as an example of how "progressive" he is for having a woman as CEO. By all accounts from interviews given by former wrestlers and employees, Vince called all the shots and made the decisions. All she ever did was sign her name.
Hmmm....she was put in a position she does not have the intelligence or qualifications for, for the sole purpose of blindly following the orders of a megalomaniac who was calling the shots backstage. Sound familiar?
She has about as much charisma as a department store mannequin, and about as much intelligence. It's always been this way.
I suspect there wasn't an error in math. My Occam's Razer here says that they had a conclusion in mind (i.e. the Education department spent trillions of dollars on a do nothing program), wanted to say it on CSPAN so that they could have the sound byte.
The correction isn't going to be aired on Fox or OAN.

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’ Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary
California national guards troops and marines deployed to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against the Trump administration have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join.Three different advocacy organisations representing military families said they had heard from dozens of affected service members who expressed discomfort about being drawn into a domestic policing operation outside their normal field of operations. The groups said they have heard no countervailing opinions.
“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.

What policy are the national Democrats intended to be doing with their swanky majorities of -8 in the House of Representatives and -5 in the Senate?
This is part of what the opposition is supposed to do. They criticise, make fun of, offer legislative resistance to, and draw attention to the bad policies of the government.
The story how they got to be a minority is an epic story of mismanagement, corruption and insanity that stretches over many decades.
There is nothing wrong with free tacos, but it’s like polishing a mountain high turd
They can stop 6-8 of their own members from voting in favor of fascism.
They can make tangible changes in reality instead of lip service.
They can form a coalition and physically restrict access to the senate floor so nothing else can pass.
They can do a lot better if they weren't complicit cowards

Why do you demand so little of your elected officials?
Also it's this type of performative bullshit that gave Trump his power. Don't underestimate the power of this type of thing.
I'd still prefer actual policy, but it's a start
I hate absolutely everything about this.
I've never been a fan of calling Trump nicknames or going low, not because I'm trying to uphold any sort of highroad Liberal ideology but because I personally find it crass and he's an abominable human being with thousands of legitimate offenses to point to. If you do it on your own time to blow off steam, whatever, I'm not gonna get on your case. But I need more from our politicians.
What's the message here? I get that it's generally to agitate him, but are you trying to goad him into not chickening out? Just fucking do it, bro. There are thousands of Americans with food insecurity right now and you're gonna give Republicans tacos?! Again, I get that it's not really comparable and those issues are on different levels, but it still maintains that glossy respectability where you can't really levy any criticism against it because they're just giving away tacos. There's no real message here at all.
And lastly, nobody is even standing up to put their name on this. The DNC is doing this? Who? Whose idea? We have so many Republicans at every level chomping at the bit to get themselves in front of any camera they can to spread their repugnant message and we can't even get one Democrat to stand up and put their name on this meager messaging. Fucking cowards, the lot of them.

Honestly, satire is pretty effective. Hitler was obsessed with projecting power, and humor especially the kind many Jewish people used to survive the camps was a powerful tool for undermining that illusion. Humour takes power away from a thing. It's why it's great against powerful entities but feels evil when used against the weak. If more people had mocked him early on, the myth of a strong, untouchable leader might never have taken root.
It’s always baffling when a leftist jumps in to argue that pointing this out is somehow pointless or juvenile. Maybe it’s a lack of social intuition, or just a failure to grasp the bigger picture but too often, the left underestimates the power of cultural resistance. Ridicule, art, memes, jokes these are tools that shape perception and cut authoritarianism down to size.
And these politicians you roll your eyes at? They’re not doing it for themselves. They’re calling out people like you, trying to shake you awake, trying to keep the pressure on. But instead of joining in, too many of you just sit back, waiting for someone else to fix it all.

Hamas police says it killed 12 members of Gaza’s Israeli-backed Abu Shabab militia
Gaza’s Hamas-run police force said Thursday that it killed 12 members of the Israeli-backed Abu Shabab militia in Gaza, which said its fighters had killed five Hamas operatives but made no mention of its own casualties.According to Hamas, the Abu Shabab gunmen were killed early Wednesday by the Gaza police’s Sahm unit, which Hamas says was established to combat looting. The unit released video footage showing several dead men lying in the street, saying they were Abu Shabab fighters who had been detained and killed for collaborating with Israel. It was not possible to verify the images or the claims around them.
Abu Shabab has been operating in an Israeli-controlled area of southern Gaza’s Rafah. Israel confirmed last week that it was arming the militia to bolster opposition to Hamas.

Trump privately complains about Amy Coney Barrett and other Supreme Court justices he nominated
Donald Trump has privately complained that the Supreme Court justices he appointed have not sufficiently stood behind his agenda, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations. But he has directed particular ire at Justice Amy Coney Barrett, his most recent appointee, one of the sources said.
The behind-closed-doors grievances have been wide-ranging, and while many have been about Barrett, Trump has also expressed frustration about Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the sources familiar with the matter said. The complaints have gone on for at least a year, the sources said.
The president’s anger, sources said, has been fueled by allies on the right, who have told Trump privately that Barrett is “weak” and that her rulings have not been in line with how she presented herself in an interview before Trump nominated her to the bench in 2020.

The "problem" is that they stayed where they were, ideologically speaking. Meanwhile, cult 45 came back, ripped out the Overton window, tucked it under one arm, and sprinted off to the right so fast that in Trump's demented eyes, these judges look like they've exited stage left.
He didn’t hand pick them.
The heritage foundation hand picked them. They used him to get their ideologues on the bench. Now we’re seeing the real puppet masters.
Meh, these type of infighting doss not mean anything. Trump is a miser that exerts pressure by complaining about his underlings. The supreme court has done it's job to undermine US democracy by letting a criminal run for president.
On the same note, Musk criticizing the BBB is also just Musk's style of overly criticizing his employees when things don't go his way.

Canada to expedite nation-building projects to counter Trump
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada's economy, now faced with Donald Trump's tariffs.
Carney outlined his plan on Monday after a meeting - described as "very productive" - with the leaders of Canada's provinces and territories.
"This has been the best meeting we've had in 10 years," Ontario premier Doug Ford told reporters.
Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called "nation building" projects - like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors - and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years' time.

EXCLUSIVE: American Security Contractor Unloads On US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’
On my first day, the second official day of the mission, we were overrun; it was pure chaos. At the aid site’s entrance gates, we had people waiting in five lanes separated by metal fencing. One lane was strictly for women and children. The other four were all men, and they were letting people in, five, 10, 20 at a time – whatever we could handle. It was not organized, and people were getting smushed and trampled. Eventually, there were so many people in the lanes that the gates burst.
We fell back, letting people get the aid. They were never aggressive towards us. They were only trying to get aid – aid, by the way, that consisted of flour, rice, lentils, tea bags, and noodles; things that need water. They don’t have any water. And we’re not giving out water.
We soon had to fall back again, to a second perimeter. At that point, some personnel started firing warning shots in the air. I was later told that the Israeli military needed to clear those people out because they were going to come through. They soon showed up with tanks, as some sort of security presence, but we had pushed people out by then.
This idea that the Israeli military isn't involved is bullshit. They're very much involved. They have offices in our compounds. We share our radio communications with them. The higher-ups claim the Israeli military is not involved, but it feels like they’re the man behind the curtain. Sure, they’re not on-site with us, but their snipers and tanks are just hundreds of meters away. You can hear them shooting all day.ere.
People sometimes have to travel miles to get to the sites – and that means through Israeli-controlled areas. Any excuse the military can come up with to say someone is a threat, they’ll take. There’s not really any international media in these areas, and the West doesn’t really want to believe the Palestinian media, so you get to this point where the truth itself is murky. All the while, all I’ve heard all day is Israeli tanks, machine guns, snipers, and bombs.
But never any fire from the opposite direction.

One of the greatest successes of Netanyahu (and catastrophic failing of pro-Gaza activists who accepted the narrative) is to equalize "support for Israel existing" and "support for genocide".

Yes the flip side is also true even on Lemmy. Opposition to states built on ethnic cleansing and genocide isn't bigotry against the ethnic group involved.
The number of times my comments have been called antisemitic or even banned is insane.

Thank you for the clarification!
While I didn't mention it explicitly in the post, I do intend to stick to open source.
Sublime Text is not open-source but it has a sane price and a WinRAR-style trial. I use it because it feels a lot snappier than other editors/IDEs I've tried when browsing large files.
On the one hand, it's a shame that it's not open-source, but on the other hand, developers have to make a living from something.

Snappiness is definitely something I appreciate. So, if it blows everything else out of the water in this respect, that I might have to concede. Thank you for mentioning this particular aspect of it!
On the one hand, it’s a shame that it’s not open-source, but on the other hand, developers have to make a living from something.
I wholeheartedly agree. But, I prefer the capability to donate to the open-source software developers that I love to support.

Right indeed, not sure why it was implied that open source software couldn't be a financially viable option for developers too.
Couldn't agree more.
Btw, I would like to take this chance to thank you and @winety@lemmy.zip for the civil, respectful, engaging and informative conversation you were having elsewhere!
Thank you for this crucial piece of information! Much appreciated!
As such, Sublime Text has (kinda) lost all of its relevancy for me.
On the one hand, it’s a shame that it’s not open-source, but on the other hand, developers have to make a living from something.
I'm pretty sure most people here, at least I hope, who use open source and free software directly money donate to developers. I know of plenty of developers who do get paid writing open source through such donations or via funding, e.g. NLNet or grants. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your statement, are you saying Sublime Text isn't open source because they believe those ways are not appropriate for them?
Make Sublime Text Open Source
Thanks for the feedback. There’s no plan to open source Sublime Text and with the complexity of a text editor written for performance there’s also little to be gained from doing so in terms of community contributions.Sublime Forum
That's a fair point. Still, I think it's also worth acknowledging that getting paid to develop open-source software can often be more difficult than getting paid for proprietary work. According to Tidelift State of Open Source Maintainer report, 44 % of FOSS maintainers aren't getting paid for their work but would like to. Interestingly, 36 % of FOSS maintainers are getting some monetary compensation.¹
(I'm responding mostly because I found that survey. Interesting numbers.)
¹ I thought this number would be smaller. Alas, I am a pessimist.
44 %
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. That number is of course way too high. I won't point fingers but... OK I will, I would argue, naively, that a lot of that frustration comes from corporate exploitation. I bet a lot of that comes from maintainer who noticed big number of downloads on CDN but no PR because somehow a paid for tool (so not blaming just BigTech here) relies on their work... and they don't see a cent for it.
I doubt most people who have a quirky side project, say something about how to use Lego controllers for their model train on the weekends with kids, really mind. Sure they'd love to see a bit of money from it but whatever.
Anyway I'll dig into that report a bit more, thanks for sharing!
You might have a look at LEO:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(tex…
I used it extensively for some time to write big documentation. It is good.
But I'd guess that for most tasks, Emacs org-mode is the most powerful option.
Interesting. First time reading about it*. Were it not for you, this might have been completely off the radar. So thank you for mentioning it!
But I’d guess that for most tasks, Emacs org-mode is the most powerful option.
Yeah, it has been slowly growing on me 😜. But I would like to explore all other options before I fully commit.

Hehe 😜. Perhaps the purpose of this exploration is to cement the idea that I'm already on the best 😂. We'll see 😉.
What makes LEO great for consistent larger documentation is that one can write things like footnotes or a glossary in nodes which can be linked into multiple pages - much like files with multiple hard links in a file system.
Also, it can re-read exported generated files into a structured outline, which is managed under version control.
Also, good support for literate programming, which is Don Knuth's perhaps greatest idea.
LEO definitely looks like a cool project. It has made me curious and I would like to try it out. Thanks (again)!
However, before I do, I would like to verify if folding^[Also known as collapse/expand] a section/heading in Markdown -as demonstrated in the gif- is possible with LEO. Could you please confirm this for me?

Very interesting concept. I believe I stumbled upon this video about a week ago. Together with two other videos, It has been at the very top of "Watch Later"-list since. But I haven't gotten around to watch it yet 😅. I believe the topics are related. Am I right? Regardless, I'll definitely take a deeper look into literate programming. Thank you for mentioning it!
There's also Zed. And helix.

There’s also Zed.
Noted. Thank you!
And helix.
I believe this doesn't have folding (yet). Unfortunately.
Also neovim is really dope! Just have to throw that there
xD , Neovim is definitely pretty cool.
I use Zed as my primary editor these days. It’s just about ready for prime time!
(Source: 12 years of web and Linux hacking)
By admission of my fellow Lemmy-users, I've gone and tried out many text editors over the course of the past few days. Unfortunately, I didn't like the installation options for Zed in my current distro of choice (i.e. Fedora):
- its flatpak is unverified
- not found in Fedora's own repos
It is found within Terra's repos. However, users report that -at least for Zed- some of the installed packages from Fedora's own repo are replaced by Terra's. This interaction can be prevented by giving preference for Fedora's own packages, but it seems like a can of worms I'm not very interested to engage with at the moment. Hopefully this situation will be resolved rather sooner than later.
Anyhow, have you got the chance to work with Emacs and/or Kate over the years? If so, could you chime in and give your thoughts on how Zed fares in comparison? Please note that I'm (mostly) asking within the confines of a relatively simple text editor used to take notes with.
Honestly I never really got into using any of the terminal based editors- I like a pretty GUI, personally.
That being said I have been a KDE user for the last couple of years and actually have quite a favourable view on Kate. It’s a very competent editor with a great deal of extensibility.
The big difference between the two is their focus. Zed is written to be targeted at developers and as such has some capabilities that Kate doesn’t (afaik) like an AI assistant panel, handling multi megabyte text files with grace, and being able to directly connect to remote file systems over SSH.
If you’re not looking for those features I think you’d be very happy with Kate!
Thank you so much for this information! It confirms that Kate is very competent, yet clears where it may fall short compared to Zed.
Aight, I'll keep Kate around for the time being. And I'll definitely take Zed into consideration whenever I'm in search of an IDE.
Thank you!
Question: According to this table, Geany's capabilities might leave some to desire when it comes to code/text folding. Is this correct? Or is the table simply outdated?
And there's also JetBrains Fleet, that is jetbrains answer to vscode.
Thank you!
I tested Notepad Next, which seems to be Notepad++' cross-platform alternative. However, I wasn't able to get the folding functionality on a Markdown file. Am I doing something wrong?
I've tried Kate since yesterday, it has been one of the better ones for now.
JetBrains Fleet seems like a cool project. But I'll probably wait until it's open sourced. Thanks anyways!
I think you've done an excellent job at capturing my initial thoughts. It basically felt as if using Emacs was bound to be overkill as my (relatively simple) use case didn't seem to warrant its usage.
But, even if it is (possibly) overkill, I do prefer^[Granted, I haven't tried out Neovim for this yet.] how Emacs handles the folding. So, while there's the very real possibility that I'll not even utilize 1% of Emacs' potential, I feel most excited and (somehow) comfort while working with it 😅.
As for setting things up, I immediately started using Emacs through Spacemacs until the input lag became very noticeable on larger files. Then, I pivoted to Doom Emacs and I've been enjoying it so far. Perhaps I'll create my own config at some point in the future, But for now, Doom Emacs is all I need.
Will probably get airstriked for this, but Zed is also a option.
Also, if you're using GNOME, then try GNOME builder. And if you're using KDE, then try KDevelop or Kate.
Zed — The editor for what's next
Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.Zed
Thank you for your recommendations!
Hopefully I'll get around to take Zed for a test drive in the near future.
As for GNOME Builder, for some reason, I wasn't able to replicate what's seen above with it. Perhaps it doesn't support Markdown that well. Or..., it needs/requires a plugin to do its bidding. Would you happen to know more on this? Any help is appreciated!
KDevelop and Kate, on the other hand, have been a very pleasant surprise. I have literally checked about a dozen of text editors since yesterday, and these two have been the only ones that have yielded the desired result. Props and kudos to the dev team!
No no, don't get me wrong. I think both Emacs and Neovim are excellent. And this little endeavor/search/pursuit has (perhaps more than anything) solidified (and gave context as to) why they're in their own league.
Like, I've tried about a dozen of text editors in last couple of days. And with most^[Heck, I've only been able to confirm that Kate and KDevelop at least do what has been advertised (by others).] of them I've failed to reproduce the functionality demonstrated in the gif.
But even the very best of what I've tried since making this post pales -or at least seems to be- in terms of extensibility. And, when we add in Emacs' proven^[Neovim is still relatively new. I don't think I can justifiably vouch for its longevity yet.] longevity, it becomes hard to root for any of the alternatives. At least..., so far.
Still, I had to answer for myself if committing to Emacs (or Neovim for that matter) was justified given the fact that I had not a lot of experience with text editors 😅. Like, as funny as it sounds, I've moved from Word+StickyNotes to (GNOME's) Text Editor to a bunch^[I can recall ghostwriter, MarkText and QOwnNotes.] of Markdown text editors to Emacs. And the switch to Emacs was mostly motivated when I saw Obsidian do the very thing you see in the gif 😂. But as cool as learning the ropes of Emacs was, I think I was experiencing some impostor syndrome shenanigans.
Thankfully, it seems that this has mostly served to be a huge motivation boost. Perhaps I was (more than) ready to conquer Emacs all along...
If you had started with that people would have told you that nothing comes even close. The closest things you will find are Atom (archived), Sublime (closed source) and Helix (still very new and no plugin support, but something to keep an eye on).
Speaking of obsidian, the reason why it took me forever to start using Silverbullet is that Emacs has org-mode which does most of what Silverbullet/Obsidian do out of the box, plus some other stuff that they don't do (e.g. excel like tables).
But I wanted something I could edit remotely through my phone and web interfaces are better than using text editors over ssh connections. Also I have migrated from Emacs to Nvim, the reasons are purely ergonomical (pinky fatigue is a real issue) but after switching I found a jump in the way to think about an editor. Emacs is great, don't get me wrong, and if you decide to learn Emacs I can assure you it will be the best editor you've used, but it still edits things at a character level, while there are concepts for matching brackets or quotes changing the text inside quotes in Emacs is very character oriented, I.e. go to start of quote, start marking, move to matching quote, delete, whereas in vim is sort of a higher level language where you say Change Inside Next Quote using cin", and expanded with some plugins you can even do srnq' to Surround Replace Next Quote with ' (which will change the quotations on the next text from whatever to '). And that's a lot closer to the way I think so it skips a mental step (plus it's a lot less keystrokes and no Ctrl for my pinky).
But those are the reasons why I switched, many people use Emacs for decades without ergonomic issues, whichever of the two you decide to learn you'll understand why they're the staple editors for most people who actually choose an editor.
Thank you for the raving endorsement and otherwise very informative reply!

Hmm...., interesting. I'm still pretty new to evil-mode, but doesn't that bridge the gap here? Btw, I don't know why, but I wasn't able to see for myself how cin" worked within Vim*.
Yes, evil-mode would have bridged the gap, however I didn't go emacs -> vim in one step, I left emacs back in 2017 because of pinky strain, and other ergonomic issues that made me switch keyboard layout as well (which made me lose lots of agility on emacs) and started using Pycharm for python dev, VSCode for other languages (including Markdown for note taking) and nano for system file edition. I tried some of the other suggestions here like atom, sublime, Kate, etc, but they never became my everything tool like emacs used to be. Very recently I discovered Helix, and I gave it a try and loved it, however the lack of plugin support made me have reservations on diving in. But the interaction mode is very close to vim, so I decided to give vim another go and went through a few tutorials on how to set Nvim up while refreshing muscle memory for vim movements and learning new stuff and it's slowly becoming the everything tool that emacs once was for me.
All of that being said, I don't think I would use evil-mode on Emacs, the reason is that vim is made with those motions from the ground up, whereas in emacs they will be an after-thought so it will probably not be integrated enough (or more likely will require lots of configurations).
I wasn't able to see for myself how cin" worked within Vim*.
It's simple, imagine you have a line of code like so:
my_var = "some string with spaces"If your cursor is almost anywhere on that line pressing
ci" will erase the contents of inside the string and place you in insert mode, i.e. the line will look line this:my_var = "|"With
| being the cursor in insert mode. There are other similar things, for example ca" (Change Around ") will also erase the quotes, very useful for example to change a hard coded string with a variable.
Sorry fam for the late response! I was writing up a draft a couple of days ago, but that one somehow disappeared. Which..., is kinda peculiar as I don't recall the last time a draft spoofed out of existence. Regardless, it really puts me off to start a reply all over. As such, I've been mustering motivation since 😅. Anyhow, thank you for your patience!
Thank you (also) for sharing your journey around the many text editors! If anything, it reminds me how life has got many surprises for us. As such, being wed to any software, regardless of how powerful it may be, may still result in a break later down the line.
Thank you (once more) for touching on ergonomics! I haven't mentioned it, but I do experience some RSI-related pains/aches.
::: spoiler Steps I've undertaken to alleviate the pains/aches. This has been put in spoilers, because I don't think it's very relevant for the subject matter.
- I use a split keyboard, and hope to switch in the upcoming months to one of the most ergonomic keyboard around.
- I have made changes to my workflow to become (mostly) keyboard-only, so little to no mouse/touchpad. Which led me to embrace and become more familiar with modal editing.
- I have dabbled into the alt keyboard layouts and intend to make the switch when the aforementioned ergonomic keyboard arrives.
- I have made many other changes to how I work in order to better align with ergonomics; laptop-stand so that it's lifted to the appropriate height, worked on better posture, only making minimal use of my phone etc. And intend to back this up further with a height-adjustable desk.
- Employ speech to text whenever I can afford it.
:::
Anyhow, I do have concerns on how Emacs' default keybindings might be detrimental on someone using a regular keyboard. I believe this article makes an interesting case on this. That's also one of the reasons why I've (almost) exclusively been on evil mode.
I hope you've recovered completely from the strain on your pinky! And, hopefully, nothing else has been causing any issues since!
Btw, the trick with ci" and ca" is pretty cool! Thank you for teaching me something new! FWIW, it was reproducible within Emacs' evil mode*.
Hey, yeah, I know the feeling, every time I lose an already typed reply I completely lose motivation to rewrite it.
Yeah, my pinky strain issue is completely gone, I also used to have some more pain on my wrist which made me go through a very similar journey to you, I took many steps for it to the point where nowadays my setup is (in order of what I think has made the largest impact)
- Using i3/sway as my WM for a keyboard centric usage
- Switching to Colemak and learning touch typing properly
- Split ortholineal keyboard (crkbd)
- Trackball instead of mouse
I've also got a height adjustable desk and a good chair to prevent issues with my back, and my monitors use an arm to be in the right position. It was a slow process of making one change here, few months later another z etc, but this has been my setup for a few years and all of my pains in wrist, lower back, neck, etc have disappeared. I figured if I'm going to ve sitting in front of a computer typing stuff for 8h a day I need to make that as comfortable as possible to be able to do it for longer.
As for emacs with evil mode I was sure that ci" would work, that's basic vim functionality, what I'm less sure would work is more complex stuff for which I use plugins, e.g. <space>srq" (Surround Replace Quotes with ") to replace the next quotes for " (e.g. changing var = 'some text' to var = "some text"). That same plugin allows me to also do <space>srb[ to Surround Replace Bracket/Braces with [ (to change the surrounding [, (, or { to [ ). Another plugin allows me to move to any part of the screen in 4 keystrokes, I press s the two characters of where I want to move, and a third disambiguation character and the cursor moves there. Those are advanced usages that I think will be difficult to reproduce in emacs, plus plugins will not incorporate the basic ideas for movements.
May I ask why emacs in evil-mode instead of Nvim?
Hey, yeah, I know the feeling, every time I lose an already typed reply I completely lose motivation to rewrite it.
Hehe, as a precaution, I wrote this up in Emacs instead 😜.
Yeah, my pinky strain issue is completely gone

Another plugin allows me to move to any part of the screen in 4 keystrokes, I press s the two characters of where I want to move, and a third disambiguation character and the cursor moves there.
Hmm..., this very closely resembles what evil-snipe does. Though, unless I'm doing something wrong, the functionality is not a single s away, but rather a g s SPC away. At least, OOTB*.
May I ask why emacs in evil-mode instead of Nvim?
Of course you can. Unfortunately, though, I don't exactly recall my reasonings 😅. Thankfully, I did note some of my thoughts from back when I was actively trying to decide between the two. From there, I was able to gather the following:
- I would only try out Emacs or Neovim through a opinionated config.
- For Emacs, Doom had kinda won over Spacemacs based on the opinions (and experiences) of others . Though, I still wanted to try out Spacemacs to judge for myself.
- While for Neovim, LazyVim and LunarVim were the winning configs.
What follows is not based on my notes, but from what I can remember. Shortly after I came to the above conclusions, I went out and tried to install them. But, I wanted to 'test' them without 'polluting' my system. As such, I tried to install them within a distrobox. This is where Neovim came short because of this imposed limitation. I don't 100% remember what it was, but IIRC there might have been more than 1 issue; one of which had to do with fonts. Regardless, my Neovim adventures were prematurely terminated 😅. By contrast, Emacs didn't budge an inch under these circumstances. So I was able to test out both Doom and Spacemacs without any significant issues. Since then, I have dabbled in Emacs. But the folding mentioned in the original post is what has led me to commit more seriously than ever. So, in short, it was mostly out of practical reasons.
Btw, it's funny, but most of what you just read about my reasonings were buried memories 😂. Like, if I had to answer it on the spot -so without thinking it over or look through my notes or dig through my memories- , I would probably have stated some arbitrary technical reason (e.g. org-mode FTW) OR its proven longevity OR I don't know... something. But it couldn't be further from the truth 😅. Granted, I'm still very much enjoying Emacs. But, I shouldn't disregard/dismiss Neovim any longer. It's time to revisit this rabbit hole 😂. I should also thank you for asking the question that brought this to my attention 😊!

Curious to see this at the very top of your list. Perhaps I should make my switch to Sway rather sooner than later. Thank you for the endorsement!
For me it was a lot off wrist pain, so switching to a more keyboard centric way of interacting with the WM was very impactful.
I intend to learn this with the alt keyboard layout after the more ergonomic split keyboard has arrived. Wish me good luck 😉!
Which alternate layout are you considering? I recommend grabbing something you typed and feeding it here to check heat map of keypresses you would have done to have some visual representation of your usage.
So I suppose that by effectively removing most need for a mouse, the switch to a trackball has been less impactful.
Bingo, I actually switched to trackball before going to keyboard centric WM, but after it I've even gone back to mouse a few times feeling almost no difference, because I end up using the mouse a lot less.
Btw, perhaps related, would you happen to be aware of hints? If so, could you touch upon its relevance?
I have, not exactly it but similar stuff, I used to use a browser called conkeror that had emacs key bindings, and have tried to learn a very similar system to hints in the past. Honestly, when I has lots of wrist pain they were useful to completely remove the need of a mouse, but they're clunky and not as efficient as a pointer so I tend not to use them.
Curious. Is this a special ergonomic chair (or something)?
Nope, just a Secret Lab Titan Evo, but any good chair would do, I spent a year with a cheap Amazon chair and had lots of back pain.
Did you advance/progress in increments because you were testing out the latest addition to the setup? And thus, only introduced a subsequent change after judging that you were not 'done' yet?
It was more of a gradual thing, I had wrist pain, so I switched to a trackball, that helped but didn't got rid of it. So I tried AwesomeWM, found Conkeror and slowly the pain started to fade away and I dove deep into the keyboard centric thing learning touch typing and Colemak. Eventually other issues came on, like pinky strain from Emacs, or a different kind of wrist pain from a small keyboard that made me switch to a split one, or back pain that made me invest in a good chair. I don't think my setup is "done", it adapts to whatever my body is asking, but I've started to listen carefully and switch stuff on the early signals because that first wrist pain was an eye opener on how bad things can get if you ignore them.
I am so glad to read this! While the journey until I am able to interact with my systems without any pain seems far away right now, success stories like yours make me so pumped to pull through.
Do you feel pain now though? If so what? You should address that immediately. At most points I would have answered that I felt no pain with my setup, because those things build up gradually, if you're at the point of feeling pain the time to take action is now.
About the emacs plugins, yeah, by the name I can tell you those do the same to the ones I cited, my point is that the plugin ecosystem for it might be a bit less extensive, and not sure how to set shortcuts that use vim key bindings for other plugins.
I would only try out Emacs or Neovim through a opinionated config.
Why? Having had an emacs config that I copied from somewhere and ended up growing and becoming something unmanageable, I'm have a very strong opinion that one should build your own config files from scratch to know them. Presets are good if you're going to be using them bare, but if you're going to customize them they can get in the way. And that's another point for Nvim for me, their configs are very easy, I followed this guide and had a working config that I could easily expand in no time.
org-mode FTW
Ah, I miss org-mode, it's too bad the world went with Markdown instead.
Granted, I'm still very much enjoying Emacs. But, I shouldn't disregard/dismiss Neovim any longer. It's time to revisit this rabbit hole 😂.
Meh, maybe, maybe not, Emacs is great, I just never would have gone with evil mode, it sort of feels like it defeats the purpose of both emacs and vim in my mind for some reason. It's like if someone told you they put a Ford engine on their Chevrolet, it feels convoluted and strange to think on that solution before thinking of using a Ford.

Thank you so much for your elaborate and well-articulated reply! As I don't want these messages to spiral into an ever-expanding wall of text, I've chosen to refrain from reacting to every single valuable thing you've written. Nonetheless, everything, including the parts I'm explicitly not reacting to, has been a joy to read and has been very informative. So, again, thank you! Much appreciated!
Which alternate layout are you considering?
Hehe, currently, I've landed on Night.
I recommend grabbing something you typed and feeding it here to check heat map of keypresses you would have done to have some visual representation of your usage.
This is pretty cool! Unfortunately, (perhaps unsurprisingly) Night isn't included within its layout options. I would otherwise have loved to check this out.
switch stuff on the early signals because that first wrist pain was an eye opener on how bad things can get if you ignore them.
Would you like to elaborate on this? As the pains and discomfort have increased over time, I have been more conscious than previously. But, I'm sure there's still a lot of mileage to be had. Like, what do you perceive as an early signal? Exhaustion and/or fatigue after a day of work? Or perhaps something more specific?
Furthermore, how bad did things become?
Do you feel pain now though?
After a couple of hours, I do experience strange sensations that border on pain. Furthermore, there's (almost) always some level of unease/discomfort. Thankfully, resting continues to feel good and I get especially revitalized after sleeping well. But I acknowledge that this isn't sustainable.
If so what?
Wrist pain and fingers that feel wacky. So, this is basically carpal tunnel 101. This has been confirmed/diagnosed by both the general practioner as well as the surgeon. Thankfully, the damage is relatively tame still; the surgeon didn't see much distortion/damage in the x-rays (yet). There's also no need (yet) for a surgery and (hopefully) there'll never be. Which is very much reliant on me putting in the work and effort to make this as comfortable and (by extension) sustainable as possible.
You should address that immediately. At most points I would have answered that I felt no pain with my setup, because those things build up gradually, if you're at the point of feeling pain the time to take action is now.
I have taken some action; but I'm still very much in the process. I'm aware it's just not enough (yet). But, the steps I've taken so far have thankfully led to significant relieve already. Like, I was a lot worse last year. And, as hinted at previously, I already have plans to address the remaining issues.
my point is that the plugin ecosystem for it might be a bit less extensive, and not sure how to set shortcuts that use vim key bindings for other plugins.
You could be right on the plugin ecosystem; even beyond the integration of evil-mode*. It doesn't matter which metric I throw at it, the Neovim ecosystem seems to be more vibrant. Though, at least for the time being, org-mode seems to be Emacs' forte. Which..., just happens to be the very thing I'm using it mostly for. While I'm far from being comfortable with it, it has already provided a much better experience compared to all other text editors I've tried.
I would only try out Emacs or Neovim through a opinionated config.Why?
My apologies, perhaps I should have been clearer. I didn't stress enough how this was mostly for trying it out and get going initially. I'm still on Doom Emacs, but I do intend to build my own config after I've gotten a better grasp IF it's beneficial.
And that's another point for Nvim for me, their configs are very easy, I followed this guide and had a working config that I could easily expand in no time.
Hahaha 🤣, I would have loved to have an up-to-date video guide like that for Emacs. Alas... 😅.
I miss org-mode
Hehe 😜, though I wonder: have you tried out Neorg or nvim-orgmode to see how they fare by comparison?

I understand, and I agree, although I'm reading all the replies are already becoming wall of text so I'll skip parts but I have read them and they're all interesting.
I've landed on Night.
That looks interesting, although I would be weary of learning a layout that only works on specific keyboards, it will make it hard for you to use a laptop on the go, work in an office with a normal keyboard or any other similar situation.
Furthermore, how bad did things become?
I think it's easier if I answer this first. At the worst I had problems holding heavy stuff in my hand, as in fingers lackesld strength or didn't respond properly. And for my lower back at the worst it was constant pain where I needed to lay down with a pillow on my lumbar to stretch. After fixing those I became very aware of the initial feelings, such as numbness or feeling pain when stretching (which btw I strongly recommend you check out wrist and finger stretching exercises as they help a lot). Lots of the changes I made (e.g. split ortholinear keyboard) were probably not needed, but the wrist pain that kickstarted everything got me worry enough that I don't want to take any chances.
After a couple of hours, I do experience strange sensations that border on pain. Furthermore, there's (almost) always some level of unease/discomfort. Thankfully, resting continues to feel good and I get especially revitalized after sleeping well. But I acknowledge that this isn't sustainable.
It's not, those are exactly the early signals that you asked me about, you think that because you're able to rest and stretch and it goes away that it's all fine, but it will require ever more stretching and resting until they don't go away ever. At least that's what happened to me, at the beginning I would stretch my wrist and fingers and rest for a while and be fine, eventually that became next day I'll be fine, then over the weekend, then never.
Wrist pain and fingers that feel wacky. So, this is basically carpal tunnel 101.
That's exactly what I had, although mine was never actually diagnosed, but I had all of the symptoms and my dad had to do the surgery so I have family history. It does get better if you adjust, I don't feel any of the symptoms I once did, and it is sustainable I haven't had any symptoms in about 10 years since I switched to a more keyboard centric flow and the layout, so putting in the work does help out. I should say I had 24 years when the symptoms first appeared, so it was kindof young which was one of the reasons I got very scared about getting those symptoms so early.
org-mode seems to be Emacs' forte.
Org-mode is absolutely wonderful, I haven't tried any replacement because the reason I abandoned org-mode wasn't emacs related, I kept using emacs for org-mode for a while after I dropped it as my main editor. The reason is that there's no compatibility with other editors or apps. Everything uses markdown, and for most basic stuff markdown is good enough. I do miss habit tracking, task management, table calculations and other neat stuff, but the commodity of using the same format for everything and that other people use it as well outweighs all of that for me.

It's not that I don't want to go with Emacs or Neovim. Rather, I want to explore what else is out there.
As for Kate, thank you for its endorsement! I've tried Kate since making this post and it^[Together with KDevelop. Though it has to be noted that KDevelop IIUC seems to rely on Kate for this functionality.] has been the only one which has yielded a desirable result. I can wholeheartedly attest to its quality.
Do you happen to have a lot of experience with other text editors (and/or IDEs)? If so, would you like to chime in and compare Zed to the ones you feel confident talking about?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the recommendations! Helix doesn't seem to offer this functionality (yet). Unfortunately...
As for Zed, it does seem to be capable of reproducing the functionality found in the gif (or at least to some extent). However, installing it on my distro isn't pretty. Therefore, I wish to install it at some point, but I'll wait it out for now.
If you're not trolling, then I'd like to offer my apologies for assuming you were.
Perhaps I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I couldn't resist: does ed even support the functionality demonstrated in the gif above? I'm asking this from a genuine position of ignorance.
Honestly: Yeah, i was trolling (kind of), but:
I DO like to code via ED because the design and workflow of ED (or even better: Sam) makes folding unnecessary because you only put on the screen what is needed right at that moment. Want to see two functions 1000 lines apart? No problem, just print them right below each other on the screen.
Interesting insights. Much appreciated!

Hmm..., I suppose this is a workflow I'd have to try out for myself before drawing any conclusions. Though, I got some questions:
- Why ed? Isn't any other TUI/CLI text editor fit for the job? Apologies if I sound obtuse/obnoxious*. I'm probably just very ignorant of how ed fares compared to the others.
- Is there any currently maintained version of Sam? A quick search suggests that everyone packaged/grabbed it from this github repo. But, unfortunately, that one has been archived since earlier this year. I suppose I could look into the many forks it has, but I'd rather be picky 😅. Got any pointers for me?

Why ed? Well, it keeps my brain from rotting 😀 just half joking... i have noticed that whenever i use a somewhat more "user friendly" software my mind starts to wander off more easily and instead of being more focussed on the programming task i shortly after find myself doing... $THING instead of being productive. So, being the only jack-of-all-trades-computer-guy in a small-ish company i tend to chose the tools that work for me, even if they are a bit... anachronistic.
I think the best maintained version of Sam would be the one included in 9front (if you want some truely special experience) or if you want to stay (somewhat) in the realm of the sane you can use plan9port which also brings in many nice tools out of the Plan9 ecosystem.
Aight. This conversation has been much appreciated, thanks fam!
Perhaps I might have to give ed a go at some point if I find myself hacking more with elisp rather than outputting actual productive work. But, at least for now, this is (thankfully) not really a concern for mine 😜.
As for Sam, I should either install a different OS (i.e. 9front) for the truely special experience. Or..., build it (myself) with plan9port. Did I get that right?

Thank you for mentioning Lapce!
I have been interested in Lapce for a long time. Unfortunately, IIUC, it doesn't support folding Markdown headings as shown in the gif. At least, I wasn't able to get it to work. Can you attest to this? Or am I doing something wrong? Your aid would be much appreciated!
UPDATE: For posterity's sake, I'd like to reflect on the last couple of days.
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to the discussion! Were it not for your recommendations/suggestions/endorsements, then I might not have found a valid alternative.
Secondly, I've taken every single recommendation pretty seriously. As such, I've either installed them to see for myself if I was able to reproduce the functionality found in the gif found above. Or, didn't install them to begin with due to the suggested installation methods not passing through my (rather) strict policy on software. Regardless, in the end, I've only found two pieces of software that satisfied the bill: Kate and KDevelop.
KDevelop is pretty cool, but is more of an IDE rather than a text editor. As such, I've landed on Kate.
But, perhaps more than anything, I've come to really appreciate Emacs (and Neovim). And, perhaps more than ever, I feel ready to take them on 💪. Wish me luck 😊.
Putin's demands to Ukraine underscore a position the West has always suspected: No compromise
The memorandum, published by the Russian state media, was less of a peace plan and more a demand for Ukraine to surrender, defang its military and become a vassal of Moscow.
If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thought that his spectacular drone strike on Russian air bases would yield a Kremlin compromise, Russia issued its blunt response in black and white: no chance.
After waiting for weeks for Moscow to present its ceasefire demands in writing, the West finally got them Monday with a memorandum issued by Russian envoys in Istanbul.
Few analysts really believed that Ukraine’s “Spiderweb” plot would gain immediate concessions from a stubborn President Vladimir Putin. And so it was.
The memorandum, published in full by the Russian state news agency Tass, was less of a peace plan and more a demand for Ukraine to surrender, defang its military and become a vassal of Moscow.

The longer this drags on, the better Ukraine seems to get, and the worse Russia seems to get. At this point Russia had already emptied out most of its prisons to supply soldiers. They've lost massive amounts of tanks, apc's, and aircraft. Their main group of mercenaries started to march on Moscow before being exiled, and they're having to use ineffective foreign soldiers in meat wave attacks.
Meanwhile Ukraine is able to strike within Russias borders at will, their able to manufacturer nearly half of the munitions they need. They still control parts of territory Russia claims, and they'll be getting the full backing of NATO.
Hey Putin, How's that 2 week special operation treating your asshole?

Its a little unfair comparison on the vehicles, Ukraine is being supplied with hand me downs from the western nations (with some new things here abd there) while russia is still going through its stocks. At this point I am not sure what runs out first.
Certainly they are able to manufacture and import more shells than Ukraine and shove more soldiers into the grinder. Now with united states of orange fuckwit in the game, it's no longer the case that Ukraine can guarantee survival once the aid is cut off. We seen just how useless western Europe has been with trying to supply Ukraine without US.
So currently i can see putler gambling on other European countries giving up support, certainly recent elections are making it more likely. Once western support dries up sufficiently, Ukraine won't last long on its own. Just look what happening in European elections when it comes to right wing...
All these developments are rather worrying for me as i would very much like to see a complete Ukrainian victory and return to their pre 2014 borders.

As though the US invaded Mexico, failed for 3 years to make significant new gains, and then lost a chunk of Texas to Mexican occupation, all while blowing through massive amounts of men and material.
A stunningly poor performance that never needed to happen.
Russia has seemingly broken itself by the war economy drive to the point hey are incapable of stopping the war on any terms, as it would immediately collapse the country.
If Ukraine were to capitulate, another war would immediately start, likely in Moldova, then the Baltics, then...
There is simply no peace until Russia reforms economically, societally and governmentally.

Trump official who shut down Russia propaganda unit has links to Kremlin
Darren Beattie, who alarmed the State Department with his pro-Moscow views, is married to a woman whose uncle has ties to Putin
A senior official who dismantled the US government’s Russian disinformation unit is married to a Russian woman with links to the Kremlin, The Telegraph can reveal.
Darren Beattie has provoked alarm within the State Department since being appointed in February for his ardent pro-Russian views and focus on destroying the agency tasked with tackling Kremlin propaganda.
Mr Beattie, the acting under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, is married to a woman whose uncle has taken several roles in Russian politics and once received a personal “thank you” message from Vladimir Putin.
Many of Mr Beattie’s social media posts also concern China, repeatedly calling on the US to surrender Taiwan to Beijing, and labelling Britain a “poor and pathetic kingdom” that would be “far better off under Chinese dominion”.

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects
A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides
Reports of falling insect numbers around the world are not new. International reviews have estimated annual losses globally of between 1% and 2.5% of total biomass every year.
Widespread use of pesticides and fertilisers, light and chemical pollution, loss of habitat and the growth of industrial agriculture have all carved into their numbers. Often, these were deaths of proximity: insects are sensitive creatures, and any nearby source of pollution can send their populations crumbling.
But what Janzen and Hallwachs are witnessing is a part of a newer phenomenon: the catastrophic collapse of insect populations in supposedly protected regions of forest. “In the parts of Costa Rica that are heavily hit by pesticides, the insects are completely wiped out,” Hallwachs says.

Do you guys remember driving down the highway in the 90's and having your car absolutely covered in the mangled corpses of insects? To the point where wiper fluid is called bug wash?
I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but my car stays pretty clean these days.

Aside from ants and the occasional gnat/mosquito, we really saw very few insects across the country as a whole. So it's a global phenomenon, and things are probably a lot worse then we realize and care to admit.

I’ve had a ton of success with bringing back bugs. First off, no pesticides or herbicides. Second, diverse plants with at least 1/2 native, and a decent amount of flowers, plants in the sage family and sunflower family are good choices for a quick impact. Third, mulch, and have areas with dead sticks and wood, rock piles etc.
My property started out with only earwigs, roly-polies and invasive grass. They sprayed everything for spiders.
It’s been 6 years and I have multiple species of bumblebees, flower flies, butterflies, moths, wasps, etc.
Two neighbors where over yesterday and I was pointing out the insect loss I've seen in just a few years. They both had their mouths open in shock. "Shalafi, I never thought of that."
We leave the porch lights on 24x7. Used to get filthy with bugs and there were tree frogs and salamanders camping out all night. Now there are none of the above.
In Central Florida, we were overrun in the Spring with Lovebugs, which were an invasive species. They had sticky, acidic guts which would stick to cars and ruin the paint. Every Spring, stores would have big displays of the liquid to add to your wiper fluid to remove the Lovebugs from your windshield.
Then they disappeared, nearly overnight. A few years ago, the Spring hatching was really light, and it's been lighter each year. I saw one Lovebugs this year.
The weird thing is, scientists have no idea why, because there is no grant money to study it. They are an invasive species, so we want them to go away. Nobody is going to spend money to find out why.
In the case of Lovebugs, their eradication was a positive outcome, but whatever wiped them out, could wipe out bugs that we want to keep because they are important to the food chain.
Keep on GIFin’ — A New Version of GifCities, Internet Archive’s GeoCities Animated GIF Search Engine
GifCities was a special project of Internet Archive originally done as part of our 20th Anniversary in 2016 to highlight and celebrate fun aspects of the amazing history of the web as represented in the Wayback Machine. Since then, GifCities GIFs have been used in innumerable web projects, artistic works, and in the media and press, including this internet-melting combination of GifCities GIFs and the British Royal Wedding in this New York Times article and the avant-GIF “GifCollider” exhibit at Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive.The new version of GifCities includes a number of new improvements. We are especially excited at the drastic improvement in “GifSearchies” by implementing semantic search for GifCities, instead of the hacky old “file name” text search of the original version.
