Lover of weird keyboards, video games, and productivity software I don’t use.
Ah yes, blaming the victims of capitalism for the effects of capitalism. The fact that any single person can accrue that much wealth and wield it to hurt others is clearly the real problem, and unilaterally putting the blame on people (who likely support trans rights) is very counterproductive.

I’m sure you’re aware, but a significant amount of people feel how you feel (myself included), most are just not very vocal about it.

Political violence, historically speaking, is the most important kind of violence, particularly under fascism.

FWIW half the internet is down

Outside of scaffolding new simple projects, I definitely haven't found much productivity boost with agentic AI tools.

Did you try Cursor Tab much? It is lightyears ahead of any other AI autocomplete in my experience, and makes up for the frustrating vim experience.

I found ortholinear layouts and the split to be pretty easy to get used to.

The reduced key count takes a bit longer, but because of the flexibility and programmability of boards like this, it not only compensates for that, but becomes an overall improvement.

Gotta really like tinkering though 😅

I'd caution against formulating prejudice on nation of origin alone. No people (or in this case company) are inherently reflections of their governments, and acting as such a slippery slope.

Judge things on their merits, not on generalized bias'.

Shocked this hasn't been made before a very glad it has. Super cool.

Doesn't appear to have databases. Perhaps I'm mistaken?

I find Obsidian to be plenty powerful, especially as a tinkerer. It's query performance def isn't that of a good indexed postgres db, but is acceptable enough to achieve pretty much everything you could in Notion, with a little elbow grease.

Symbols dont provide the same syntax as a built in prototype method though, and arguably harder to read than using a utility function.

someStr.capitalize()

vs

someStr[capitalize]?.()

Also perhaps I'm mistaken but wouldn't symbols also still have a similar performance as proto changes directly?

Also people who type things like this are masochists. So verbose.

If you take this same pattern, but make it broader in scope to cover a specific concern you can do all kinds of neat stuff. I tend to create pseudo-class modules that handle the state and logic for different areas.

I also took the time to add things most themes seem to overlook, like recoloring symbol icons, and common extensions like error lens.

Will be bringing Fern to nvim soon.
