I swear, every time one of these posts/comments pops up, the chances root issues are caused by Nvidia hardware is insanely high.

So, what you’re saying is, it’s pretty much on character for PP lol

Sometimes I forget I’m not on /r/aboringdystopia

It’s the last sentence of the article - 9.8/10. In this case it’s probably called critical because of the potential consequences of the exploit being a full machine takeover, not the likeliness of the exploit being used.

Funny, I don’t use splits, and I never full screen my web browser.

Oh, you don’t have to convince me of their objectives. They just used to be less… upfront about it, not so long ago.

Modern Canadian conservatives aren’t the tame fiscal conservatives we used to have indeed. This violent steering of the right wing towards social conservatism is worrying as fuck, and should be for anyone but hard traditionalists. It’s insane to see anybody who cares about Canada support Trump in any way with how he fucked us over and over.

Yeah, I won’t pretend like Neovim is perfect at all either. I do agree that setting up LSP & TreeSitter is needlessly convoluted as is. lspconfig+mason.nvim+mason-lspconfig+null-ls.nvim just to get a couple linters/formatters and decent completion... I’d love it if I could just open a file, and… it just… worked, you know.

I’m surprised the author is both a long-time vim user and defends the idea that everything being built in to the editor and config being purely declarative as positives. In my mind, vim being as slim or bulky as I want it to is a strength, not a weakness, and its config being a full language (especially since neovim/lua) is a superpower. I’ve yet to have my config just randomly break in almost a decade of tweaking it from vim to neovim, across multiple distros and package managers, for what it’s worth.

Helix does look pretty intersting though, but man does the idea of relearning everything after how long it took me to build that vim muscle memory sound very daunting. vim bindings being available almost everywhere, including other editors, some websites and third party apps, and my browser as an extension, is also a big part of why I hesitate to even give it a try…

Probably…? Not gonna lie, the question is pretty vague, IMHO. What are you looking for, exactly? An active community of autistic people? The presence of people that happen to be autistic you could follow? Plain curiosity about who uses that platform? Opinions/questions about Mastodon from autistic people on this community?

I don’t have specific recommendations, but IMHO, “future proofing” is not really a thing so much as upgrade paths are. You can keep some wiggle room with your PSU, try to anticipate/sync upgrades with sockets or RAM generations, or keep RAM sockets free… but old hardware gonna get old regardless. Can’t think of many CPUs that held up for that long. And DDR5 will probably be considered rather slow by then, who knows.

If you’re going into data science though, you may want to think about ever needing CUDA stuff, therefore have stick with Nvidia…?
