  • Nixvim is great too. Nixneovim was originally forked from it, apparently. And now that I’ve been thinking about it, I’m pretty sure the reason I ended up using nixneovim was indeed the way it handles direct vim options, and maybe less need for extraConfig? I’ve slowly been configuring more as well and didn’t want to be confused learning vim config and having to figure out how to convey that in nix.

    So that’s a thought if you find yourself having the same trouble! It’s not just a lot of config, but layers and layers and layers lol. Looking at you, lua in string literals.







  • I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

    Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.


  • Apologies for the late comment. So this is a full-fledged frontend like photon or alexandrite, but with this recommendation engine built in? On first glance, it looks so much more responsive and lightweight! I’m really wondering what you’ve done that other big frontends haven’t lol, no broken images or anything! If you do end up going open source, I might consider actually contributing to something for once. I’d love to help build out some features.

    Edit: After using it for a few minutes, wtf, it’s snappier than lemmy itself. And the community search, wow! Maybe a pretty ui does something to perception, I dunno. I am assuming you have barrels of cache lol.




  • I want to venture into some of the french speaking parts of lemmy, but I’m scared and it’s been waaaay too long lmao. And I definitely wish I could just “get” it like I get english (for the most part), but idk the hopes of that for a second language. Probably have to move to France lol

    Like even the way native speakers type and talk is nowhere near “proper” most of the time, but it’s the language. And I wish I could do that in french, ya know? Hey, maybe Quebec will do!

    Aaand I upset the native french speaker even more now.
