Does this apply to creators that aren't even in the Apple ecosystem or is it only for the patreons paying through the iOS app? What if everyone moved to the website?
> Just about everything I'd want to do in a startup appears illegal or otherwise infeasible in the EU because of the morass of data and AI and energy regulations.
Sounds like you're doing some shady, disgusting bullshit or you're exaggerating the regulations. I hope it's the latter.
I'm on a high horse because I like that the EU tries to regulate big tech? I wish they went further and actually enforced it. Some of you seem to live in a parallel universe.
Elaborate what's so bad about the EU instead of assuming who I am or how I live. I'm criticizing your ideas, not your person. Make some effort and do the same, "bro". Don't be such a stereotype.
building a simple business in south east asia is drastically easier. there are effectively no privacy laws, no class action lawsuits (a big US problem not EU), no gdpr, energy is cheaper, no punitive labour courts, much looser zoning laws. almost no restrictions on international trade, no withholding taxes, no major issues with transfer pricing, no capital gains taxes, relaxed packaging laws. of course, there are different challenges.
When you go from an open market to EU mode it is insanely stressful having to suddenly deal with these enormous regulatory regimes that simply dont exist anywhere else, and to figure out how to deal with them. this stress is an energy cost, which becomes a capital cost, which makes it much more difficult for small businesses to be created. I also find supranational regulatory regimes difficult to understand, unlike other parts of the world where each country has its own law and thats it. I think its generally a good thing for the people who live there though!
when i am driving around in ASEAN i don't look at my speed. in EU i am anxiously making sure i am 1km/h below the limit to avoid a fine in the mail.
Parent wasn't referring to a possible future, but present time. If we get AI I can trust 100% that's another discussion. For now I don't see it and I don't think LLMs are the solution to that problem, but we'll see.
Last time I did it in around 2020 the reasoning behind every package, and the meaning of most compilation flags was explained. It was a good experience. Yes it works in a VM. A tip is to create regular clones as checkpoints if you fuck something up along the way.
I did LFS on hardware for advanced operating systems in college. After messing up an early step and having to torch it midway and start over, I made the entire LFS build directory into a local git repo. It was not the best use of git and there are better tools, but it did allow me to revert a mistake later and saved me time. So I call it a success.
> To me the kinds of people using these editors are the kinds of people that love making everything more complex to seem smart.
I finally jumped the gun almost a decade ago because I had too many Electron apps for my cheap laptop to handle and had to scale down to be able to get anything done without freezes.
At first the modal editing was difficult but it clicked immediately and these days I'm handicapped in normal typing. I still type vim motions by accident in Libreoffice which is the last program I use that doesn't support modal editing. Lately I'm getting around that by typing in markdown and using pandoc to convert it to `.odt` or `.docx`.
> every possible extension you already need
In Vim land the first step isn't to install an extension, it's to create a keybinding. It can be as simple as a one-liner, to a shell script or even command-line tools. You can run it on the filename, the file contents, or the selection. The only limit is your imagination and experience. You don't really get it yet because you're conditioned into thinking the way you're used to, not how it could be done.
It has nothing to do with looking smart, I don't care what others think. Could it be your own coping mechanism for feeling dumb about not being able to use it?
> (not that I can see an obvious advantage to it).
Precision. I use e/E more often than w/W when editing a line or creating macros, but w/W for moving around. But more often i search with f and jump to next match with ; if I didn't hit the target right away. / then n if I'm moving to another line.
> Vim and Neovim have more differences than I thought. Among the many changes, [...], that Q repeats the last recorded macro
I followed the link where it says:
> Q Repeat the last recorded register [count] times..
> {Visual}Q In linewise Visual mode, repeat the last recorded register for each selected line.
That's a surprise, I have both in my config since my time on Vim but I didn't know they were implemented by default in Neovim. I guess the maintainers read the same article I did many moons ago.
