#vim user for many years. But have to say, after a couple of months using #doomemacs ... I'm a convert. Still don't think I'll like the standard #emacs shortcuts etc., but doom makes everything better; And then there's #magit .... omg how I love #magit

Google assistant voice recognition gets worse the "smarter" the AI gets. It constantly thinks I'm polish, even when my question is in English, and it's far worse at recognising words, than what it did a couple of years ago.

People doing html & CSS for documentation: I beg you to enforce a maximum width for the written content. It's a really unpleasant experience reading a sentence across the entire length of a 24' monitor.

You see someone migrating all their docs from sphinx and rst, to google docs. Years later you see them struggle with having to write scripts interfacing with the docs api to make some scripted amends over all their docs... Sphinx and rst is good. Don't shoot yourself in the foot

I like this comment in doom-emacs next to the debugger addon: "..., to help you add bugs". Sounds about right :)

I love how people are panic-buying TP, assuming that when the time comes that they will actually have enough food pass through their system to make use of it 😄

"This is not democracy. Spreading lies in darkness, paid for by illegal cash." "Is this how you want history to remember you? As the handmaidens to authoritarianism?" Brilliant and brave @carolecadwalla calls out the "gods of Silicon Valley".

Yes google... I most definitely want you to give me french websites and translations in my search results going forward. That one time I buy something from a French website surely is a clear indication that I can actually speak or understand the language.
