Well, to be fair it wasn't just her. Kwasi Kwarteng helped too!

Personally, I love to tinker (especially on my main machine) so I don't mind the complexities of setting up neovim. However, I do mess around with a bunch of servers, and I like to edit code on those servers, meaning I am often installing/compiling neovim and copying over my config before I can get to work.

What I am liking about helix is the idea that its default setup has what I need to get started straight away.

I am looking forward to giving helix a go.

That's a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.

No positive change happened as a result of 2008, and I doubt any change will happen if there was an equal or even greater crash now.

The only way change will happen is if people demand it. The collective trauma of WW2 was enough to bring about change almost as if the populous went "That was shit, now we deserve something better". That, and the fear of communist thought taking hold pushed the governing class to action.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?

It's about a 24 minute walk or a 17 minute journey by bus

If you're willing to take the plunge and spend more time in the terminal you could give neovim a try.

To turn it into an IDE contender you can use LazyVim to automatically setup a bunch of quality of life improvements.

It's a bit of a commitment to learn but it is super rewarding when you get it.

Looks like next year you will have to fire up a windows VM and play a game for 5 minutes, and then safely return to the warm embrace of your cosy Linux system.

If you haven't already, try and find a zero waste shop near you, the kind of place where you take your own containers and fill it up with what you need.

Me and my partner made it a part of our routine to visit once a month, and we have successfully replaced a bunch of our household items with zero plastic options.

There is a way of mounting a btrfs partition in Windows, but I am not sure about it's level of performance.

The report this article is based on is actually called "On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries"

The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term "rich countries", especially as that term is not used once in the article.

In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.
