You will never write something that everyone likes. And furthermore, writing a quality text is _hard_, as in, that is something that even a native speaker will have to practice several years.

"There's a Gap that for the first couple years that you're making stuff what you're making isn't so good. it's not that great it's it's really not that great it's it's trying to be good it has ambition to good but it's not quite that good but your taste - the thing that got you into the game - your your taste is still killer and your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is kind of bad."

Well, the author is a mac user.

I have asked LLMs several Emacs-related questions and _never_ got a reply that works. And at generating elisp code they are especially awful.

So you are the AI?

I mean, seriously, which human says "the compute"?

I stopped reading at "Nerd rating".

I'm tired of people who, when they don't like an article, comment that it was "obviously written by AI" instead of arguing its merits.

The point is that this article is extremely badly written; an over-influated piece of text that could easily be ¼ as long. We assume that it is written by AI merely because AI tends to produce not-worth-reading texts like this.

You are wrong in this regard. If you complain about "6 inches of whitespace on each side", you should read this on a proper device (i.e. a desktop computer) or just inject some CSS to fix the site (this is HN, after all).

But knowing that the article is AI generated is useful, because that tells me to not to read it.

MacBook

That explains the writing style.

Yeah, this "article" is extremely badly written.

Yeah there is something funny going on with the scrolling.

This is true. If the user was capable of testing his backups, he would not be using a Mac in the first place.

Of course Linux clients in your network can be controlled by group policy. You just need to roll out a enterprise-grade distribution like red hat.

See for example:

Why not just use the standard Linux tool bubblewrap?

Why not just use the standard Linux tool bubblewrap?

Of course not. But it is not needed, as Mac users are not interested in data safety.

agents know git far better than fossil.

That does not matter though. If you need an AI agent for SCM you are already lost and should take a step back.

The fact that Markdown is widely used quite successfully demonstrates that it is adequate for a wide variety of tasks. Just because $x is used for lots of tasks does not mean that it is adequate for that. People use Excel for lots of tasks that it is clearly not adequate for; (like time tracking). I knew someone who wrote his letters with Excel.

You hit control-a and it goes to the start of the field.

We "PC" users have a dedicated key for that on our keyboard, it is called "home". We even have the opposite, a dedicated key called "end".

lol true. It is like "problematic".

Damn. I was not aware that Kevin Mitnick has passed away.

Same. I mean you can tell about the level of tech literacy just by reading that OP uses NordVPN.

You can get all the domain stuff for less than 1 € from any competent hoster, e.g. netcup. For cloud drive, if you really want to put your own files on someone else's server, there are tons of cheaper options, e.g. 2 TB for 10 €/month from strato. Gemini is of course something that no one needs.

To me, it is the most unimportant one. I don't even read email on my phone. The screen is way too small to do anything useful.
