"if only we could get the scoundrels out and get the right, good people into government, the world will be better off" is the equivalent of "if we only hire smart people, don't use strcpy, and are really careful then we will be able to write programs in c without memory corruption bugs and exploits!"
nice dream but how many times over how many decades must you bloody your head on that wall before you learn?
This is my favorite web comic ever, something that really lives up the the depth of the Bikini Bottom charaters: https://stillinthesimulation.com/the-bikini-bottom-horror/

@SuricrasiaOnline, IDEs fully realize the Berl phylosophy: make easy things awkward, and make hard things impossible.
Just noticed that with a web UI for sending patches, #SourceHut is really part of the #Fediverse. I mean it is well known that SourceHut embracing the #email workflow is embracing federation, but providing facilities (including an email server) to send patches from git.sr.ht on one instance to lists.sr.ht, possibly on another instance, is a whole other level. No more the pain of having to register for every instance to contribute upstream like on #GitLab or #Gitea.

@huy_ngo , there is a fine line between daily utils and occasional stuff that you need to look up the man page to use (-;
Well, @huy_ngo, I guess your original statement is not wrong, just that you'd be missing a lot when using the TUI version, e.g. the squareness of the tetris blocks. For quick and dirty editing on a phone, it prolly doesn't matter (aside from the slight delay to open Emacs).
@ghil, I'm pretty content with Mirage. The only feature I miss ATM is reaction, but that is replaceable with emoticons. Nheko is even more featureful, but I find it to be rather unstable. Both are native apps using QML and Qt respectively.
@starbreaker@fosstodon.org, my laptop screen (as well as that of @huy_ngo IIRC) is 1.5x of standard 96dpi, so I'm OK with the size of UI elements the way they are, and if I just scale the GUI font it breaks the esthetic. Also it prolly has to do with my preference to tilling windows that larger UI elements only result in smaller content area.
But @huy_ngo, the entire point of using Emacs is for the gorgeous PDF and image (and thus web) viewer and video games. Not to mention the space saving tiny non-character icons.
@huy_ngo, I'm sure you've heard of espeak, which is used by Orca. Personally I wouldn't use it til my eyes are heavily impaired. Another option is to crank the font size up: I make sure a half screenful is just enough to hold 80 chars amd thus prefer to read everything from the terminal. Life changing experience.
As someone who constantly advodcate for #Matrix, I still gotta admit that I still can't wrap my head around how its #E2EE actually works. And maybe I'm getting old, but I start feel like I agree with all of Drew's neo-Luddistic ideas: https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/07/The-next-chat-app.html
34% of WFH workers say they’d rather quit than return to full-time office work
And if they do need to come back to the office, even part-time, employees said they expect some changes. For example, they’d want their employer to cover their commuting costs, and also provide some form of childcare.
@huy_ngo, I don't see much innovation can be done via deriving Windows XP, so I won't be advocating for it.
Among my long history of unrealistic activism, this is probably the most unrealistic: https://www.change.org/p/lg-electronics-lg-to-open-source-their-phones-as-they-are-shutting-down-production-for-good
