The closest I can think of is Helix.

> Esc to escape insertion mode is clearly a stupid choice in a modern keyboard setup, but we keep it as a default; we just haven't moved past the original decision.

Nitpicking a bit, but you can also escape insert mode with Ctrl+[ and alt+any normal mode keybinding. I tend to use alt+h/j/k/l but nothing prevents you from doing for e.g. alt+u to escape insert mode while undoing the previous action.

Seeing that you already got your answer, my two cents: You can use hn.algolia.com to instantly (fuzzy?) find terms in submissions and comments.

Can't test, I don't see any mention of X or Wayland, is it safe to assume it works on both?

I enter normal mode with alt+j, the best thing is that it works with vanilla vim in the terminal.

In my experience, vscode remote code editing is very buggy and resource hungry. Not very fitting if your Internet is unstable/slow and/or your target workstation is not that powerful (why is 8GB of RAM not enough?). I've had more success with Neovim either with distant.nvim[0] or directly on the Workstation with mosh[1]

I read "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" this year, and the authors make great points. The ones that stuck with me the most are those regarding Kant's scepticism.

Still using it though https://twitter.com/tpope/status/1453620225153409026

Kinesis Advantage 2[0] a bit difficult to get used to, but I like it so far.

> I'm a developer, and a decent one - not FAANG level by any means, but decent

This statement rubs me the wrong way. What does that mean being "FAANG level"? It's either a misconception of what is going on there or underestimating yourself... Or both

Same here. I also use i3 in a non-standard way: in KDE but with i3 instead of Kwin, and it has been the dream setup for me navigation wise. I wished I could somehow do the same with Sway under Wayland, But that doesn't seem to be supported.

Or if you change countries. The only thing able to save me was my open tab from my computer that thankfully I only put to sleep before travelling.

Which makes me wonder, if you use the multi-container and cookie autodelete extensions do you need to be concerned about this acquisition, even in the advent of Avast harvesting data?

Shameless plug https://atbswp.com not as powerful, but good enough for quick hacks.

You may want to check out Practical Vim by Drew Neil, he covers that aspect.

> but today I learned that until today, Mac users might have said that on Meld.

The same thing for KDE connect two days ago. I am not sure I totally agree with the feeling though, in fact, it's the opposite. Many apps I use on a daily basis are not available for Mac.

> and we do actual activities together

This! I have a good friend of mine who is very active on Instagram and tiktok, where I don't have an account. But the fact that we are doing activities together makes us close. Real life exists, and it's infinitely better than whatever the social app of the moment is.

> and "z" command

I use zoxide now, it's slightly faster.

Unless there's something like byobu, I'll stick to tmux for the time being.

I think OP is referring to Federated social networks like Mastodon and others.

Heads up here regarding KD. Since you're using Debian I guess you don't have the latest. At one point I think Debian will switch to KDE Systemd, and it will break your login script that launches i3. A solution is to use Systemd units[0] at one point I might write a blog post about that.

I'm (almost) 24 and I can relate so much with your feelings. Except that I don't like movies. Or more exactly, I am not super down to watch movies alone. It has to be in a social setup. Most of my friends (mostly girls though) are addicted to their Instagram feed. It's a bit the norm, but there are some outliers. Maybe it's a generational thing, maybe not. But I guess in your days there was something to replace social media (TV maybe?).

I have a Pixel 3a XL I am seriously considering installing a custom ROM. One question though, how is the camera app? Is it as performant as the one preinstalled?

Immediately Microverse and Outco come to mind. I am pretty sure there are many other businesses like that though.
