gtk supports emacs style bindings. Put `gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs` under `[Settings]` in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Doing `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Emacs"` might help too. That

I guess this is a good place to plug the fairly new bash completion support for Nix (including Nix 2.0)[1]. For those like me who can't stand using a cli without completion. [1] https://github.com/hedning/nix-bash-

Ah, that looks promising, though it seems like the web extension uses a download hack to communicate with the backend, requiring you to let firefox download such files by default. They really should use the native messaging api, that would

Magit is really amazing. Recently learned that it optionally supports saving changes to git when saving a file or doing some destructive git operation, by using the magit-wip modes. Makes git much safer. https://magit.vc/man

It's pretty straightforward to use mutter without gnome-shell, you just have to implement the MetaPluginClass [1], which is what gnome-shell does too here [2]. At that point you can basically just run `meta_init()` and `meta_run()` in

The EU GDPR[1] legislation actually looks good. It includes the right to access your data and the right to be forgotten. It remains to be seen how well it's implemented, but they've really gotten the basics right I think. 1: http

Yes, with nixos it's easy and _safe_ to install packages from unstable while running a stable system as default (installing stuff never breaks your system). There's also a fairly new feature called overlays which are used to fully

If sub-vocal recognition [1] (together with suggestions) gets as good as voice recognition I think we could finally have a viable alternative to the keyboard. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocal_recognition

You can also configure the character used to search only tabs (I use ",") with "browser.urlbar.restrict.openpage" in about:config.

But we aren't lacking land to grow food. We have so much of it actually that we use a third of the arable land world wide to grow feed for livestock, (which accounts for 40% all grains grown)[1]. If we just ate this grain instead we co

I think the public at large thinks heroin is much more dangerous than it actually is. The rate of addiction is about 23%[1], compared to alcohols 15%. You don't get addicted just by shooting up one time. And opiates aren't actuall

It's not about speed. It's about finding the vocabulary of vim natural (which it seems you don't, which is fine). 'di(' for instance deletes the inside of parentheses. Which is a natural action to perform, if your c

I think what a lot of people mean when they say consciousness is "what is being directly experienced" (ie. the experience of ones own existence). Now there's seems to be more restricted definitions around, but this one is to

As far as I see it. The point is that a big wealth gap is detrimental to a society. Having a good minimum wage is a good way to reduce such a wealth gap.

Well, if no one would work the unrewarding jobs, and they were needed. The wages for these jobs would go up. As Bertrand Russell said there's two types of jobs. "The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant an

Might be. I was just going off wikipedia, which only noted anything about veganism as a treatment for the cancer. But it sounds like you know more about it than me.

Steve Jobs had cancer for the most of those 10 years. It seems he tried a vegan diet to treat it among other things, that was silly. That does not make him a poster child for vegans, it seems like he wasn't even vegan before the cancer

It's quite clear he does not think he himself will change everything. He clearly calls out for people to start participating in the political system in a more active way. He also doesn't say that technology doesn't have a pla
