I mean, I have to figure out which peanut butter to buy from a shelf of 37 peanut butters. If anything, there's too much choice in a lot of cases. It's tiring.

I've heard way more Android users disparaging iPhones than vice versa. If anything, the fault of iPhone users is not even knowing or caring anything else exists.

For example, if you do choose to use emacs, then you are missing out on time you could have spent learning vim.

I used Vim for two years, now I use Evil on Doom Emacs. I actually find it superior to the real thing.

IMO Emacs is better at being Vim than Vim

One thing I like more about Vim is that its ideal for quick edits in the command line. I don't my whole Emacs init for that. Maintaining two sets of configurations on Emacs is not as simple as it should be.

Try configuring your environment so you run constantly within your Emacs, and use tramp to get to those quick edits. I do reach for vim when I'm on like an airgapped or DMZ'd system, so I totally know what you are saying. Tramping out to nearly all my servers has let me retain for longer the threads of flow established within my Emacs session.

Lately, I've been experimenting with CRIU preserving my tmux'd Emacs session state. So unless an OS update hits libraries my Emacs session needs to reload, I should be able to maintain a better relocatable resumable state than even the Emacs desktop alone could.

Run Emacs as a daemon/server and then connect with emacsclient in the terminal. Will start up in about the same time as Vim.

I run Emacs as a daemon but I need two sets of configurations because many colors and keybindings won’t work on the terminal.

You can run multiple daemons of course.

Complexity intensifies... hahaha

emacsclient usually starts even faster than the Vim (even without .vimrc)

Nothing like a bit of vim vs emacs. Though I do get sick of vim winning every time ;)

Vim and Emacs are not in the same category. Direct comparisons are silly and useless, like comparing Pycharm and Notepad++.

Nothing’s in the same category when you look deep enough into them.

This says nothing about the matter at hand. The concept of category is useful, regardless of its impreciseness. And some categorizations are better than others.

> Nothing’s in the same category when you look deep enough into them.

That’s also patently false: many things belong to the same category. Everything that exists belongs to the existent category, for example.

Evil mode on emacs, that was easy ;)

What it does mean, though, is the person who sent the email now knows, at the minimum:

1. Someone receives and reads the email sent to this email address.

2. That person is willing to enter data into a form.

This is 2 pieces of information the person didn’t have before, and it can be used in further phishing attempts in a variety of ways.

It doesn’t mean you were fooled, but that’s only half the story.

If we're going to assume the Brave user just installed Brave and has 0 BAT, then let's be fair.

You had to spend a certain number of years on Earth to become old enough to have a credit rating and legal standing to get a credit card.

You had to obtain a credit card by filling out paperwork and being accepted by the company issuing the credit card.

You had to wait for the card to arrive in the mail.

You had to activate it the card.

I don't think it's fair to just skip over all those steps just because they're already done. Sure, for you, today, the card is probably easier. But by that token a guy with a horse in 1900 who already had a stable and a bunch of hay could say, "Why would anyone buy a car?"

And he'd be right, on that particular day, for him. But not for everyone, and not forever.

Other than the convict organ harvesting and such.

> They can search you because you're entering an airport, but you're free to leave at any time (though they can detain you until police arrive, as any citizen can).

If they can detain you then how are you free to leave?

> they can detain you until police arrive, as any citizen can

They have the same rights an any other citizen to detain you and call a police officer.

Citizen detention laws vary by state, but generally there's a fairly high standard of probability that you committed a crime.

You are free to leave until they detain you.

In fact, mentioning a History degree might make someone doubt your ability to keep your code DRY...

How would that even be statistically quantified?

I took “statistically” to be just a figure of speech to bolster what was simply their view of the world.

However, you probably could interview a few hundred people a label some “earnest,” others “grifters,” and find there are many more of the former.
