And this is how I see Linux quickly unravelling and planned insecurities creeping in over the next decade or so.

I do miss the tags of SVN that would replace certain strings on each commit such as the date, a version number, etc.

CVS is gonna make a comeback! I tell ya!

This looks awesome - thanks! What’s the all-in price?

Also forgot to point out, you can buy keys with a transparent cover over the top on ali so you can shove a piece of paper underneath the transparent bit to use as labels.

Amateurs. I use butterflies.

I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.

Need the basics, great, here they are. Don’t understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn’t in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It’ll still be there.

I don’t think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.

I’m using Mate and it allows me to easily define custom shortcuts to open apps and so on. I suppose autoIt / the linux variants / custom script can add additional functionality to the keypad as well!

Other than it being your password, why?

I’m using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it

Great! I’ve bought similar without the dials (I wish I didn’t have to pay extra for the stupid LEDs) and was hoping there was something open sourcey to configure it with rather than their dodgy codebase for the same reasons you list!

It sounds beautiful! It’d be really nice if there were transparent rubber keypads available that could be put over phone screens. Then you could fashion an old phone as a keyboard with infinite layers. A simple flutter app to set up the shortcuts and make them configurable and badda boom!

talk as in video, or by text? Is tinychat still going? It used to have a crazy trans channel that was a laugh but the last time I checked it was full of stoners!
