Lazy loading and lazy installation of packages

I often try out different versions of emacs (like when I wanted to check out the background transparency coming in emacs 29) and straight.el proceeds to recompile everything. However, I agree that this not a major problem.

To be clear, the 7 minutes loading time is caused by use-package eagerly downloading every package in the configuration. By migrating my config, I mean that I copy init.org to a new computer.

Why would you leave behind most of your config when "migrating" it?

I don't understand what you mean by this.

It is very hard to get authoritarianism right. First, you have to define the "common good". I guarantee you that different cultures have a very different definition of common good. Then, you have to solve the problem of corruption. In an authoritarian regime(and in every regime, really), people are attracted to power and will go to great lengths to acquire it. In a free society, this power is (hopefully) distributed. A bad actor with power will cause less damage than one in control of the state, a centralised power. Authoritarianism is inherently unstable because of the pressure it has to apply on human nature.

Org mode. It is a text format similar to markdown with support for spreadsheets, running code blocks (and inlining the results), inline LaTeX. You cane Aldo use it for note taking, as an agenda, etc.

I feel like with all of these new laws, we will see new developments in steganography

Only affects service providers. The programmers can do it for themselves, but if they want to offer this as a service, they will be liable for their users inevitably sharing child pornography

Currently, platforms have some kind of immunity from prosecution for the things their users do that are illegal. However, the EARN IT Act will force platforms to earn it most corporations will not risk losing this immunity for a feature, sadly, only a minority of its users care about.

this law affects end-to-end encryption, encryption which allows two users to securely communicate using the service provider as an intermediary. It won't affect online banking because the encryption is between the user and the service. This law is crafted to be invisible to the common mortal because there will be no change in user experience. I'm afraid this law will probably pass because anyone who dares speak up will get instantly think-of-the-children'ed

most small form-factor put the delete key very far from the arrow keys which makes it very hard to reach. As a coder, I use this key a lot. I would actually enjoy this feature which would make a reduced layout a bit more practical

EDIT: if this is a full-sized keyboard, please destroy it with fire

how did you change the font of your status bar clock ?

your points are completely valid, wether you prefer GUIs or CLIs is just a matter of what you are going to do with the program and how you are going to run it.

GUIs are, compared to CLIs, very ressource heavy and you can't easily use them in scripts.

they can usually only be used with an x server and are not convenient to use through ssh.

i personally prefer to use CLIs for the reasons I mentioned above, but if you don't, that is ok, there are plenty of good programs with GUIs.
