    I prefer Mastodon over Twitter for microblogging. However, I didn't use Twitter for microblogging, but to receive news (directly or at least officially) from game devs, directors and other creators.

    A false awakening isn't rare, especially with lucid dreamers, but it's certainly a bizzare experience nonetheless.

    My most vivid lucid dream was a false awakening loop. I just couldn't leave the dream. In hindsight I should've just enjoyed it, instead of trying to die :D

    How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use

    There is no sense of pride. Every text/code editor has key combinations that many users will learn eventually. Vim has easier key bindings.

    'Don't reinvent the wheel'. If the earliest (re-)invention of the wheel, known to us, was flawless, it wouldn't have been reinvented so many times. There will always be new obstacles, new scenarios and new expectations. I get it. It's intended as a reminder to look up existing solutions for a problem before starting entirely from scratch. But, especially in software development, where this phrase is often used, this reminder is rarely necessary...

    She, as an obese person herself, proposed that "obese" is equivalent to the n-word. She didn't censor her word the same way a black person doesn't have to censor the n-word. That's not a contradiction. It would be, if she wasn't obese.

    Not that I care about the actual point, just wanted to talk about the logic. My bad, if my assumption that she is obese, is wrong.

  • Books - Do you prefer Paperback or Hardcover?

    I always choose hardcover. I try to keep the number of my owned physical books low. So when I do buy it, I want my eyes to be satisfied and they prefer the looks of hardcover. Since I usually buy secondhand books, overall it's very cheap (although I don't have high standards on the book's condition).

  • Users of Vim and similars, what exactly makes it useful compared to other text editors? How much time do you suppose you save when working with it?

    I'm probably the minority here, but I don't use neovim for (time) efficiency. I use it for customization, hence minimalism, interoperability with other tools and less complex key bindings.

    I do realize the irony of the last point. Sure, you need to learn basic navigation first, but past that the wizardry is much easier to learn than in other editors/IDEs. I do however not believe that wizardry is impossible in other editors/IDEs, at least most of the usual stuff.

    Definitely. But if this specific feature, that isn't even primarily intended as an accessibility feature, has apparently not been available before in this form, does it make sense to call out Spotify for making that feature available "only" limited on the free version?

    But yes, I'm aware of the community I'm on right now :D

    Fiction with recursive loop

    Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g. - story A -> story B - story B -> story C - story C -> story A Thanks in advance for any help!
