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.

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.

My answer to this would always have been Metal Gear Solid 3. If Konami mess up the remaster (which I’m just assuming they will), then this will be my answer again.

Hijacking your comment to plug my favourite game review channel who made a video on Vagrant Story.

I had a little personal crisis when I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time and just hated it. I was so bored.

I’ll have to give it another go and hope I get it .

Resident Evil 2 Remake is an all-time classic IMO. Phenomenal entry point. No knowledge required from Resident Evil 1.

Season 3 of The Wire. That’s pretty good hype music but I’d probably rather the Season 2 cover.

The pricing Reddit is charging is obscene and would mean that Apollo would be forced to pay $20 million per year to keep the app running. Other popular third-party apps would have to pay similarly outrageous costs. It’s clearly a blatant attempt to run them off Reddit so the site can force users to use its first-party app instead.

I wish all articles covering the debacle but it at clearly as this.

Thank you for taking the time to read my response. I really appreciate having the approval of someone with decades of experience (which, I very much don’t). Out of curiosity, when you started programming would have been the early days of Java, C++ etc. and the start of the ‘OOP revolution’. Can you recall why you started with C, when OOP was very much en vogue?

Thank you so much. This is a terrific insight. A little later I’m going to sit down at my PC and type something up I think will help.

I’d ask you as a fellow ADHDer ✊ if I forget to please remind me to write up my response 😂

EDIT: Response now posted here

May I ask you more about your experience attempting to learn? I don’t know if it’s because I can program but eight years seems a long time. In return, I’d be happy to offer you a few pieces for advice that could help?

48 hr blackout passed and no commitments from Reddit = I finally braved-up and deleted my post history, my comment history, and my account. Feeling liberated.

If this gets us another Internet Historian video on the fallout, then this is worth it.
