If you start vim without opening a file it’s written on the screen in the beginning. It disappears as soon as you start writing something though.

Use the nouveau drivers of course

I have had to do it one or two years ago for my previous installation, but that’s because I was using Debian on a computer whose WiFi card does not have open source drivers. But in Ubuntu it worked out of the box, and I think it may work out of the box on Debian too now that they include non free firmware by default.

You only need to install special drivers manually if you use a distro that is a bit “advanced”.

Could you explain a bit? I see main issue with Signal (though I’m not an expert, and they’re not strictly related to security): it’s centralized (and the server isn’t even open-source).

The question is also a lot about your threat model right?

I have a moral objection: backslash () usage in file paths.

You could put the subtitles for videos in languages you don’t speak. What was much more annoying to me was the automatic audio translation (it’s still available, but it seems YouTube doesn’t select it automatically when you watch a video in another language).

Do you know of PeerTube? It’s not mainstream at all either, but it seems more known to me.

It’s also in the fediverse, and isn’t accused of the same moderation issues (though idk if PeerTube is really better than Odyssee at moderation, I suppose it’s just a difference in policy).

Edit: I read a bit about it, and I can see I was wrong about Odyssee being less known than PeerTube. It’s strange, I never heard of it, but anyway. Odyssee also includes some crypto bullshit, so yeah…

I think it’s about how Discord sends their updates, not sure tho.

If you want to install the desktop version of Discord I’d advice to install the flatpak. And if you don’t want to install it system-wide you can install it on one user only. That’s what I do anyway.

As I’m French, I do the contrary: international QWERTY layout on AZERTY physical keyboard. I want to switch to an ergonomic layout like ergo-l though, but it’s hard to learn.

Just add #!/bin/bash before the code from above.

If When the script gets too complicated, AI could also convert it to Python.

I tried it once at least, and it did a pretty good job, although I had to tell it to use some dedicated libraries instead of calling programs with subprocess.

There is the “very magic” mode for vim regexes. It’s not the exact PCRE syntax, but it’s pretty close. You only need to add \v before the expression to use it. There is no permanent mode / option though. (I think you can remap the commands, like / to /\v)
