I use it all the time for hot drinks and soups.

I came into Emacs (only a year ago) with Vim experience as well, and it was a difficult transition for the reasons you describe, but I persisted due to the beauty and power of the rest of Emacs' design and ecosystem.

I try to use the default bindings whenever possible, as I find going against the grain in Emacs leads to less efficiencies as packages stop cooperating with me or each other. Evil-mode is often criticized for this reason. It clobbers other bindings.

Understand that the default editing functions work best for lisps and their sexps. You will likely need to find third party packages to get that fluid feeling back for non-lisps. (Or implement them yourself!)

Check out

• change-inner which uses expand-region
• Maybe even the heavy-handed evil-mode. (But if you do, I'd recommend considering Meow as a less-invasive alternative)
• wgrep combined with the replace- commands really impressed me.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's a bot.

Thanks for asking. Not sure how I toggled that on...

I haven't fully moved my terminal needs to Emacs (though I'd like to) for the same little niggles you mentioned. Just wanted to recommend another option amongst the good ones already suggested here.

I have KISS Launcher installed based on a recommendation, though I haven't used it yet.

Not in the US.

There's some history there, if you didn't know. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

I'm also a UBI layperson, but this is my understanding:

Basic incomes don't need to match or exceed the cost of living to provide some of their purported benefits. One of those benefits is replacing difficult to administer welfare services (of which there are some discussions in this thread). In that way the $2700 per person per year can be more efficiently allocated (towards an ideal national gross prosperity) by the individual.

This might solve issues like the infamous "welfare cliff" that have arisen from difficulties in administration.

Mozilla stated that a while back.

How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

#8 in the FAQ

Not the parent poster, but I am similarly concerned about tag spam. I find big tag blocks can ruin the reading experience on platforms that display them in-line with the body text.

Another comment suggested that tags be put in a field separate from the body of the post (and they shouldn't be parsed from the body, either). I think that's the best way to facilitate Lemmy clients to (optionally) hide big tag blocks.

They ask a bit of trust on that, but their FAQ also has an appeal to reason:

I have privacy concerns over linking my search queries with my credit card. Why should I trust you?

We do not log search queries. Queries you type are never associated with your account. The simple reason is we don't have any reason to do so, as it would only be a liability for us. We are in the business of selling search results, not user data.

(For the record, I use Kagi)
