In Poland we have waiting list for more than a decade and recently private sector pricing accelerated wildly while any complications are being sent back to public healthcare.

You can do all kind of weird stuff with xkb on Linux, eg remap Tab to Hyper but keep Alt+Tab/Ctrl+Tab untouched.

Also, fuck RMLVO, let live KcCGST.

My two greatest gripes with nix (or rather nixpkgs) are:

- so much things are implicit

- inversion of control on steroids

Besides, I love NixOS.

EDIT to elaborate: when you try to read how various things are packaged, it's hard to know where certain things come from (`with` statement isn't helping); you wonder, how on earth can it work when it's mostly empty; names of some functions don't appear in files they're defined.

0.64% of Czechoslovak / 0.23% of Polish territory for a year, shame (rightfully) forever.

In Poland unions are strong only in state owned companies and public sector.

I treated myself a deep dive into how CLIs work some time ago and features like:

* marking output from stderr different color (and don't interfere with commands's own formatting much);

* passing more involved keyboard shortcuts to the shell or a tui program, etc.;

* making last line of last command usable in next command or putting it to clipboard without mouse;

* general awareness of shell/terminal emulator of what's displayed (prompt, edited line, commands printing in parallel, stdout vs stderr, messages of shell (jobs))

are very tricky to achieve without reorganizing the whole stack of terminal emulator, shell, line discipline/readline and even kernel.
