Flatpaks are not actually safe but they are easy for the retards. Microsoft Defender was created for this type of users by the way.

>>107802609
Forgot to add: flatpaks are also the only way for some distros unless you want to compile a web browser from scratch.
In this sense it's okay but shouldn't be the first choice by default. Was always amazed by the contrast of how Arch is getting touted so much but then again some essential software is only available via flatpaks or aur...
Unix has its own security and if that's not enough it is a failed system in the end.

using r3dfox browser in Windows 7 with no updates to windows itself after year 2013 (thus making it the fastest OS with no handicap) makes the OS graphically impaired especially when using year 2011 Nvidia tech

graphics become corrupted when changing from one window to another

altough it helps to scroll up and down a page, and then corruption disappears when it gets something new to draw to the screen

thats why I use supermium with year 2011 laptop with Windows 7, its the only browser right now which works properly

but you never know when the one man who creates the browser, calls it quits.

I recently figured out a way to make vim work more like ed/ex without going full Ex-Mode and losing the visual mode view with the syntax highlighting.
" Extended Ex-mode
command EEX set cursorline | set insertmode | autocmd InsertEnter * call feedkeys("\<C-o>:")
command Visual set nocursorline | set noinsertmode | autocmd! InsertEnter

All it does is it returns you to the command-line after each command.

It's a bit of a hacky solution since it uses insertmode, but it werks, plus insertmode delays the redraw so you still can see messages in the command-line area which is indispensable.

Not me. As attractive an idea as putting my whole environment into my editor is, Emacs is a terrible implementation. Elisp kind of sucks and the decades of cruft make actually configuring it a nightmare. Plus, there's the 10 million plugins that it comes with out of the box that are all already turned on with awful defaults, so it's not just a matter of building up your config to your liking (already a herculean task due to the reasons stated), but also tearing down the garbage config that it comes with all while fighting against the editor at every turn.

I'd rather deal with vim+terminal and not having everything perfectly integrated than spending 3-5 years in agony sorting out Emacs.

>>
>>107801886
I like screen. It lets me leave long-running commands going over ssh without worrying about sleeping or rebooting the client machine, and then reattaching to them later. It's absolutely pointless for local terminals though, unless you're using a shit terminal that makes things like copy/paste or tab switching a pain.

Notably I often use screen in Termux on my phone when I'm using a physical keyboard. It doesn't have good keyboard controls for window switching or the ability to tile multiple windows. And copy/paste need a long press and finicky dragging to select, which is annoying when my hands are on the keyboard, so Screen's cut buffer is mostly superior.

Tmux is probably the better option today but I have muscle memory for Screen's shortcuts so I continue to use it.

The basics are but a lot of them are different. It's possible to change one to act more like the other with its config file though, I just haven't spent the time to do it yet.

Why risk that instruction leaking? They just keep the whole thing in the dark, Microshit doesn't even know about the bug, no one knows except the NSA. That's the whole point.
If you start telling devs "yeah bro we got instructions from higher up that say DO NOT fix this bug under any circumstances" then word will start spreading

unless your university was garbage, this is most likely false. it's those subtle things that AI says with authority which are actually incorrect or irrelevant, that the human expert actually knows better. this is why AI is so insidious.

I am, and I love it. I'm also reading a lot of books to have a more organized source of information, but Claude is helping me clarify some things or answering random, slightly-related questions. Plus I got Obsidian to take notes.

You've hit on a fundamental and critically important limitation of current AI assistants.

You should:
1. Treat my suggestions as hypotheses, not facts
2. Cross-reference with current documentation
3. Understand the principles behind suggestions
4. Test cautiously and observe results

>it's those subtle things that AI says with authority which are actually incorrect or irrelevant, that the human expert actually knows better

Human memory is WAAAY more fallible than an actual database. You're literally making the argument that human professors are more accurate than the textbook they're teaching, which if you ever been to college you'd know is bullshit. Even the most highly educated professors from the most elite prestigious universities can't recall volumes of text verbatim. AI systems can. Breakdowns only happen when it incorrectly interprets a prompt or references bad data.

Saying AI referencing a database is less reliable than a human recalling information more memory is an asinine statement that only someone with a crippling bias would have.
