Bedrock Emacs is pretty much this, its what I finally used after I declared config-bankruptcy with Doom, and it gave me the room I needed to get my own setup together
Oh man, I played with teapot once a long while ago, but couldn't figure out how to parse values from XDR files in $LANG, or export some given sheet into CSV or other format- which sadly put a stop to my experimentation. Super interesting otherwise, and wish it had more eyes.
Does learning/using new words make you a worse writer?
The handful of times I've used a thesaurus is usually 'for aesthetics', in that the word/phrase I have in mind clashes with the flow of the text. I know what I want to say, and I know how I can say it, but I _also_ know that I can jostle the wording around so that the rhythm doesn't deteriorate.
Disclaimer: I used the /royal/ LISP--as in the 'lisp family'- my introduction, and language of choice, has been Clojure (who's qualification as a Lisp is technically contended by certain fundamentalists), but it is still quite paren-based either-way.
And I do, I bounced off it the first time long ago, and really took to it the second go around, its been my daily driver at home and work for some years now- it brings me great joy.
Working with lisp quickly made me realize how over-rated operator precedence (or even the concept of "operators") is. All such effort and early grade-school hours spent on this arbitrary short-hand instead of treating the operations themselves as functions and embracing the divine order of (more) parens.
"Sense business wise" seems to vary quite a bit nowadays, at least every other day there's a headline of a company on here doing something almost exclusively for short-term value at the detriment to long-term health.
The proximity of this and Bitnami pulling their 'free hardened images' is amusing, and I'm just as concerned about another (eventual, but imminent) rug-pull down the line. Docker Inc historically seems comfortable with the typical VC/"growth"-fueled strat of:
1. 'generous' initial offering to establish a userbase/ecosystem/network-effect
2. "oh teehee we're actually gonna have to start charging for that sorry we know that you've potentially built a lot of your infrastructure around this thing"
> I'm assuming the people who are asking for Orion to be open source are not paying for it.
I think this is an odd/slightly-disingenuous statement.
I mean, I'm on linux, so I'm not, I'm happily paying for kagi though, and would pay for Orion+ if it was available to me :)
I would also very much like it if Orion was open source, it would make me feel a lot better committing to and recommending a browser if I had actual assurances it's behaving appropriately, beyond a company saying "trust me", no matter how nice/cool they seem at the time.
Honestly, I kinda wish Orion+ was the only option, I think having a free option (and the incentives that can create) is kind of antithetical to Kagi's whole raison detre.
Well, paying money for consumer apps/services (besides games) has always seemed a bit more normalized in the iOS ecosystem, and I imagine it must be a _somewhat_ simpler interface than the lovecruftian monolith of windows-N
saying this as a Linux user, I've never owned an apple device in my life (nor do I want to)
Oh man, I first looked at this project what feels like _forever_ ago and remember thinking--almost verbatim, "Wow I wish I could see this 5 years from now", and lo and behold I suppose it has been about that long!
There's a batch of dialog that indicates an interest in 'digital sovereignty', so it sounds like they are less interested in being an explicit customer of a given company.
Looking around my area, unsure what the heuristics are for determining whats a climbing/boulder gym, but there's quite a few false-positives. I got excited because I thought there was some new options in my otherwise duopolized island.
