The difference would be that RMS is extremely well-versed in computer technology. He understands the problems with non-free software.

Someone with his knowledge could choose to disregard those issues for convenience, but Stallman is willing to make great sacrifices.

...the government is absolutely a threat to you.

I don't see how this supports your previous claim of: "If you don’t have privacy from the government, you don’t have privacy."

If you don’t have privacy from the government, you don’t have privacy.

Privacy refers to more than just privacy regarding the government.

Your threat model and situation might mean that if the government knows something, its as bad as if every single person knows it.

But this isn't for everyone.

But now it's too long for a power user.

Short and Long options are a thing.

Ex: GNU rm can use

--recursive
-r

or

--force
-f

To be fair, that is an issue with the implementation of the given commands, rather than the concept of the command line.

You could create a program that operates like so:

remove-file --dont-ask-for-confirmation house.png

Linux is software.

It doesn't contain this intrinsic meaning you refer to.

It's self-explanatory to you because you're already familiar with the logic, language, conventions. I'm guessing, you grew up with all that from childhood...

This argument can be used as a reason to implement GUIs.

If we wish to market to an audience that has had some basic experience with using Windows and Mac, we can skip some of the reteaching by implementing familiar GUIs

Lemmy is a piece of software. Who "cares" or doesn't is dependant on the people administrating instances you use or communicate with.

Decentralization. Don't think there's a place for your speech? Run your own server.

 

Helix is great, but please why can't indentation just be what is set in the language.toml file?

[[language]]
name = "zig"
indent = { tab-width = 8, unit = "\t" }

Changing indent-heuristic doesn't fix it. Why does helix give me the option to set the indentation style and then proceed to overwrite it, Instantly resetting it to 4 spaces instead of what I told it.

The behavior that is occurring is extremely weird and would be instantaneously solved if helix would just use the value in the file.

I don't want your garbage heuristic, I just want you to leave my file alone and do what I told you.

This might go well with a buff to fall damage caused by the airblast + marked for death on the victim.

You can't be pardoned for something you didn't do.

Sure you can.

Even ignoring stuff like preemptive pardons, a pardon relinquishes you from the Justice System's punishment. Conviction doesn't mean you did it.. So there exists the potential for a pardon to be issued for someone that was wrongly convicted.
