You mean Lazy

Harpoon 2 — Mark up to 4 files and jump between them instantly. Once you start using this, you can’t go back.

You can replace harpoon with native argslist, if you don’t need any advanced features. Works great for me. Interesting that you feel the need to use both Harpoon and Snipe, though. I max put like 4 different buffers into “Harpoon” and if I need to navigate elsewhere I just use my picker (mini.pick) to search through files or grep for words.

Lazy-load everything. Most plugins don’t need to load until you actually use them.

If you don’t have a lot of heavy plugins IMO you don’t really need to lazy load. Ever since I switched to 0.12 (lazy -> native pack) I don’t lazy load anything and honestly I see absolutely no difference and you avoid a lot of the complexity.

vim-commentary — gcc to comment a line. Classic.

This is native in nvim already.

auto-session — Restores your buffers and layout when you reopen a project.

You can also achieve this with native nvim functionality if you don’t need anything complex.

nvim-ufo — Better code folding with treesitter.

I’m curious why the need for this vs native functionality?

EU is going down the same path. The “EU alternative” stuff is just bogus. It’s just a matter of time before EU starts doing the same.

It’s not bogus if you are yourself European or if the alternative is Big Tech. But I feel you. There are lots of shitty European companies that are not that much better. I avoided the switch to Spotify because even though they are “European” they gave a lot of money to Joe Rogan and to Trump on his inauguration.

Also, the EU did recently reject the chat control proposal so at least that’s something…

Had no clue you could do this with neovim! Nice.

For me there was only 1 breaking config change in the past year or so if i recall correctly. Maybe 2?

Valve is a shitty company.

Does valve make some good things? Yes. Do they make shitty things? Yes. Not hard.

You just stated the exact nuanced position I was defending from the very beginning, while simultaneously insulting me for holding it 😂

It’s not.

Look, you are not necessarily wrong, in holding the opinion that Valve’s monetization practices are so horrible, that they ruin the company’s entire reputation. It’s a valid moral boundary. But at the end of the day, it’s just an opinion, not some objective law of the universe and other people can weigh the scales differently without being an evil person. Yet you portray it as the TRUTH. And it’s a bit ironic, that when people disagreed you started talking about echo chambers and attacking the community. This is why you got downvoted.

I feel like you’re straw-manning here.

I never said it’s okay. All I’m saying is that a mega-corporation can simultaneously exploit psychological loopholes for profit (loot boxes) while actively pushing open-source ecosystems (Linux), providing great value to consumers and fighting other pc gaming monopolies (Microsoft). Look at the whole picture.

Maybe just maybe it’s because it’s not as black or white as you make it seem? Especially talking about a company that did so much for Linux and looking at what their competition is doing…

Last week, we published our team’s findings about an exposed Elasticsearch cluster that contained over 160 indices and held 8.7 billion primarily Chinese records, ranging from national citizen ID numbers to various business records.

Last December, the team uncovered an unprotected database containing 4.3 billion records, some of which included LinkedIn-derived personal information. The 16TB-strong instance contained emails, photos, employment histories, and other personal data. A single collection alone contained 732 million records, including photographs.

In July, Cybernews covered one of the largest data leaks in history, after researchers discovered several collections of login credentials, containing 16 billion records. The team found 30 exposed datasets, each containing tens of millions to more than 3.5 billion records.

The leaked data included login info for just about every online service, including Apple, Facebook, Google, GitHub, Telegram, and even government platforms.

Damn…

It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?

Whether or not that matters depends on how much and how you watch it.

Ads while I listen to music = annoying

I want to navigate fast to different videos on PC to find something and almost every time an ad appears on a new video = annoying

I’m watching some chill drive or walk while reading a book and a loud ad appears = annoying.

But when I just go and watch 1-3 videos before bed on my ipad? I don’t care if I get those 2-4 ads, I just mute and wait those couple of seconds. I have no youtube adblockers or different clients on ipad / phone for that reason.

“Based on these reports, users see a message stating “Comments are turned off,” which appears across a wide range of videos”

Seems like a win to me.

I haven’t been following much of the new developments of these self-hostable AI. Can you actually self-host anything decent?

I have played around these smaller models in the past and honestly anything smaller than LLama 4 Scout was just not very useful. Now Llama 4 Scout was “17B Active parameters, 16 experts and 109B Total parameters” so not sure what that even means.

He talked about this in a interview recently ! Echasnovski (mini.nvim creator): “gpanders is WRONG About the Setup Call” (allegedly)

Terry Davis was right…

I’ve been using AstroNvim ever since i moved to Linux and not long ago got some inspiration to re-write my config to be more minimal. I also found his channel helpful :)

Yeah I noticed the main AUR package was last updated in June 2024. Thought they abandoned it but the GitHub shows the last release was around the same time. Downloaded sioyek-git instead and it works great.

I think I’m sticking with Sioyek. It checks enough boxes for what I need from a pdf viewer. Well documented, no performance issues, and it supports epub too.

The command line tools, portals, ruler for reading, keyboard text selection, searchable highlights, easy file opening, marking. Really vim-like. Need to customize some keybinds but otherwise don’t see a reason to look elsewhere for now.

Oh Sioyek looks interesting. Also the blog is great !

I personally want something more minimal.
