Idk, without a good collaborative mode there’s really not much you can do to differentiate yourself from existing options. Without some feature like that it’s hard to think of a reason to build yet another text editor.
As far as I’ve seen many code Ai assistants operate over the LSP framework and work in most editors, and maybe a chat window that’s pretty easy to add to most editors via a plug-in. Adding something like live collaboration is a bit more legwork
What features do you feel are missing from something like vscode? I’m a long time vim/neovim user but most of my co workers use vscode for everything with no complaints. I’ve actually been pretty jealous of stuff like jupyter integration.
If you can’t get used to vim, it might be worth checking out something like Helix it’s editing model is a bit different and clicks better for some people.
I think vscode has definitely come a long way since it first dropped several years ago. You can definitely get auto complete, goto, lining, etc. Via the LSP framework, so all those things should work for python and c with some plugin installs and maybe a bit of configuration. The built in debugging support is also really nice.
Neovim is basically the same as vim in terms of its editing modes. Vim and neovim use a action -> select paradigm eg. To delete a word you would type d (for the delete action) then w (to select the word). Helix uses a select -> action paradigm so to delete a word you would press w then d. One of the nice things about this is you can see what text you’ll be operating on before you actually perform an action. Helix also supports multiple cursors, which can be more familiar if you’re used to sublime, atom, etc. Both have support for LSP so you can basically get code intelligence on par with most IDEs for many languages. Helix is generally a bit easier to configure if you’re just using the base package, but isn’t as customizable and doesn’t support plugins yet.
If you want to check out neovim I’d recommend using a pre-built configuration like Lunarvim or Lazyvim these are just configuration distributions that take a lot of the legwork out of bringing neovim up to par with modern editors. Think of it like copying someone’s dot files.
It’s also a nightmare if you want your config to work with both nix and non nix platforms. If I’m using my config on windows or at work, I’m not going to have nix and home manager to interpret the nix version of my vim config. On my systems with home manager, I’d like be able to install my nvim config as part of home manager rebuild. If I have home manager pull my configs git repo, it causes lazy to freak out whenever I try to update my plugins. It’d be nice to have some sort of integration with lazy that exists with cargo and similar tools but it doesn’t look like anyone’s been working on it.
Amazon is probably the worst of all of these. The only reason prime exists is to lock you into their store for all your purchases, when shipping orders should be a discrete charge for each shipment. At least the rest of these (except for Adobe and Nintendo, who suck about as hard) give you access to their infrastructure that lets you access the entirety of the product they offer instantly, whenever you have an internet connection.

I don’t know if you’ve tried this, but I bought some rope caulk for 7 bucks and used it to seal around my windows. It makes a world of difference if the windows aren’t sealing great. You can take it off in the summer when you want to open them up.
I think AAA studios are the main culprits here, I haven’t been playing more than one game a year that requires a recent setup for many years now, and most of my friends are in the same boat. Most people in that situation aren’t gonna buy a new GPU even if a mid range card was ~$400. Graphics haven’t been improving much even in AAA titles either since the MO of live service titles is to get as many people playing as possible.

If temps are going to be below 30F regularly, you’ll need an auxiliary source. My parents got one last year, if they don’t switch off it’ll run constantly to keep temps at ~55F and drive their electric bill through the roof. It works well for them during the day in the winter most of the time and during the fall and spring.
So I’ve been using Jellyfin for a while now. I have a NAS running with a jellyfin server and I watch stuff on my PC or on my TV.

I got a shield a while back because I was having issues with the built in chromecast on my TV. It worked fine for about a year, but I’ve been having issues with lag and apps crashing for the past 2-3 years. Meanwhile my girlfriend’s cheap roku puck still works fine, and she bought it around the same time I got the shield and it was way cheaper. I wouldn’t recommend the shield based on that. The only annoyance is jellyfin on the roku isn’t as feature complete, multiple language audio tracks aren’t supported, but if that’s not an issue for you I’d recommend getting a roku over a shield.
Also since this works on cards that are already old, it lets you eek out a few more years out of a card you already own rather than being a shitty excuse to overcharge for a weak card.
Heya, been hearing about NixOS for a long time now, mostly from the peeps over at the Linux Unplugged podcast.

Tried kagi due to all the yapping here on lemmy, 99% of the results are exactly the same as ddg, no matter what their “x% unique kagi results” says, which just strikes me as dishonest. If they’re going to lie to me about things I can check, why would I trust them when they say they don’t log or track?
There’s definitely some kind of astroturf marketing campaign going on here, this guy’s only interaction with the fediverse is posting a link to some softball piece review of an incredibly underwhelming service.

I’ve been using it for a couple months now on a NixOS setup, I had issues before I split my media collection so shows and movies are in different collections. Now that I’ve done that, I haven’t had any noteworthy bugs. There are some missing features on certain platforms, namely the current roku app doesn’t support multi audio movies and shows and will only use the primary audio track. Hopefully that’s resolved with this update.
I work in tech. At my previous job, I started organizing a union and got maybe 20 people out of 70 involved in actively planning and being interested. But I left my old job for this one, because I could be paid more with less work. And now there’s a new job on the horizon which promises another 10-20k a year, and again, the...
I don’t know if I’d really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they’re being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you’re just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren’t union. You could end up tied to whatever company you’re at currently for the rest of your career, since I’d imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It’s also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.
