Sod's law someone finally posts this on the day I decide to make a post. I promise I did check the board yesterday when there wasn't an update! Thanks for the explanation though.

I'm learning Rust at the moment and I too think I have some reservations with its syntax. Most of these reservations come from my strong preference for functional programming over OOP.
I am unsure if I like method-syntax period, even if it isn't inherently OO. Chaining just makes me feel uncomfortable in a way piping doesn't.
Also it seems idiomatic for values of enumerated types to be written Type::Enum, which seems ugly and unnecessary.
What'd you make of this article?: https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rusts-ugly-syntax.html

If not solved, then at least understood. When you want to change something on Windows, or something breaks, you have far less room to maneuver.
When I was a Windows user, I'd barely ever submitted a bug report for anything, in spite of being very tech-literate. It felt hopeless, as my entire experience with the OS was that if a fix would come, it'd have to be done by someone else.
Linux treating its users like adults, produces users who are more confident and more willing to contribute.
Thank you for this. Here (https://www.youtube.com/live/rfXBcg7GiGY?si=4kU0RLHxy4jwVtWp) is the link for anyone else who is interested.
Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as vterm (the best terminal emulator for Emacs).
I'm not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you're on and I can see if I can find out how you'd do that.
I agree with you that I don't look to Lewis for his take on geopolitics. However, I think you just have to accept that in the body politic there are many people (a majority in all likelihood) who have a say in their democracies but don't concern themselves with situations such as Israel-Palestine.
Lewis has the attention of these people, and he feels he's doing the right thing by bringing attention to the plight of innocent civilians in the region. If his post has inspired at least one person to be more aware and sympathetic to the human suffering, then hasn't it been worth the effort?
Lots of replies mentioning Emacs but Emacs out of the box is gonna be essentially a text editor (insert obligatory: Emacs isn't a text editor; it's a LISP interpreter).
However, install Doom Emacs, and you have a full IDE experience for essentially any language you could ask for. I highly recommend it.
James Vowles came closest to convincing me that a new team could really harm the back-half of the grid. I'm still in favour of the Andretti bid but I think teams like Williams should still be permitted more spending on infrastructure to bridge the gap between them and the bigger teams.
We've never been smart. We just do cruel very well.
