This is just synthetic fossil fuel with extra steps. Lol.

On Linux VA-API works really well for AMD video encoding. I have a small home server with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and my experience has been excellent.

The only downside is that some companies decided hardware decoding violated some patent and disabled hardware encoding in the default va-api package. You just need to switch to the freeworld version of va-api and everything works well.

I have a question, in your understanding can you deconstruct gravity? Follow-up question, would deconstructing gravity have any effect that observable to people at large?

I am a through and through progressive. I just think that the idea of deconstructing “natural laws” is somewhere between silly and pointless.

Soulism, also known as anarcho-antirealism, is a school of anarchist thought which views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies.

Someone saw what conservatives think progressives are and decided to made it a thing.

We should be careful about normalizing the use of scmp as a news source here. While they can be reputable in some areas, at large they are quite biased.

I would hope that people here don’t want this community to take the same path as the .ml news communities.

It’s a figure of speech. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

No problem. I deleted it because I realized that I did in fact misread things. :) You’re doing good here.

For me it’s less effort because everything that I want just works out of the box. The totally of my configuration is under 10 lines. I don’t want to have to mess with nested config files each dozens to hundred of lines long most of which I will not understand just to code.

Also helix is different in that it uses the selection then action workflow. Vim is action then selection which is less nice for me.

In helix if I want to delete a function I would do: ESC -> space -> f -> d

Which means: Normal mode then lsp menu then next function then delete.

In vim I would have to delete then select what to delete which I don’t like.

To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.

To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.

To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.

I strongly recommend:

1. remapping caps lock to escape.
2. disabling the arrow keys in all modes.

After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.
