I use Vim and sometimes VScodium. for some reason `ctrl-C` gets you out of insert mode. That's been my little hack.


PeerTube is also special because it uses the activityPub format, so anyone on Mastodon or GNUsocial can follow somebody on PeerTube.


Purism has two lines of computers that has Linux on them.

Purism's laptops are pretty premium, coming at an apple tier price.


Appreciate the reply, I had not seen these before. Can anyone compare these to the higher end Thinkpad lines?

Have to admit my gut is to trust the Thinkpads more simply due to the number of units they ship. Librem seems super niche, despite me loving their goals/etc.


Thinkpad is lighter/smaller, nobody has the x1 carbon beat for that.

If you're looking at other Thinkpads, the Librem machines may be worth investigating.

I'm not sure how well they run operating systems that run non-free software (this includes Ubuntu, note), they have some OS of their own?

If you want dumb-proof, tested Ubuntu-tops, then yea, Thinkpad.


WSJ tech columnist Joanna Stern wrote about this, too. But Stern got an apology from apple about it. They said "a small percentage is having issues with the new butterfly line"


Although `.com` domains seem to do better for any product not for devs.


Protonmail is really good for email. Proton also had other services like protonvpn.


Really love it too, using it for around a year. Switzerland based, has strong protection. But still looking into / for alternatives, because - their 5/10 ⭐ apps and lack of possible automation in the inbox..


Tried this and ended up back at Gmail in 6 months. Proton's billing system was painful.


I turned mine into a simple Apache server. It's really nice to save a file and instantly see it live. If I like a program, I just save it and play around with on my server.


If you don't mind being seen in the wayback machine, you could just request your domain be scanned. https://web.archive.org


Most devtools on browsers have "responsive tools" - letting you change your screen to mobile or adjusting pixels. I use it sometimes for my web apps.


Responsive design mode helps with a subset of CSS layout issues. It's much faster and easier than hooking up debugging on a live device, so it's invaluable during CSS development, but since it's still the desktop browser with just a few parameters tweaked, it's not going to be adequate for tracking down real-mobile-browser-real-device issues in a game engine.


When I tried to make a little class for programming, my go to option was scratch.mit.edu , a little hub for coding with blocks. But since this is 5th graders, I recommend code.org , which is "coding" AKA using blocks to get steve from minecraft from point A to B.
