Terraform is proprietary. You want to the use the OpenTofu fork instead: https://opentofu.org/

Yeah, to be honest, I’ve given up on that one. “Language Server Protocol” is a classic case of Microsoft naming things.
The two differentiating words are “language” and “server”. It does not specify what kind of language is being served or what it even means to serve a language. And “server” is entirely redundant with it being a protocol. Not to mention, that “server” is the most overused word in IT and therefore virtually meaningless.
For all we know, it could be a protocol for butlers carrying French dictionaries.

So yeah, I use the acronym as its name, because it is similarly meaningful while being actually recognizable. And when I need to specify whether I’m talking about the “protocol named Language Server Protocol” or a “Language Server Protocol server” or even a “Language Server Protocol client”, I will just slap that behind the acronym and be done with it.

There’s varying takes on why folks prefer Gemini:

• HTML browsers are too complex. It is virtually impossible to implement a new one. We’ve got 2½ implementations, i.e. Blink/WebKit and Gecko, and that’s it. Yes, you can use Dillo or w3m, links and lynx to view simplistic webpages, but anyone, who actually wants to use the web with these, will quickly run into webpages they cannot view.
  With Gemini, you can use tons of clients, some of them even written in Bash, because it’s so simple, and you will not run into pages you cannot view.
• Burn the web. Some folks hold the opinion that the modern web is beyond saving, because advertisers control many central parts of it. Presumably, these days folks are also glad to be spared from AI-generated garbage. And again, you can create your own webpage that’s all smallweb with pure HTML and whatnot, but anyone who actually wants to browse these pages has an easier time finding them on Gemini.
• An own community. Of course, using a different communication protocol cuts off communication with most of humanity. But as a result, many folks on Gemini know each other and bother reading blogs that they might not have read on the HTTP side of things.
  Well, and through survivorship bias, folks on Gemini tend to be nerds who care about permacomputing and the like, so that also helps with finding folks that have similar interests, even if you might end up reading their gardening blog, due to the aforementioned point.

Yeah, expected this to happen sooner or later. If it takes close to 0 effort to generate something that people believe might earn them some money, then of course, they’re going to do it in droves.

Lots of simpler editors gained tab completion support over the last few years, thanks to the LSP protocol. I have it in Kate, for example.

Hmm, they might’ve scrambled to add Recall et al, because those other features you named don’t particularly need to be offloaded. Except for maybe TTS, you’re not gonna run these in the background all the time. And if you need the occasional translation, it’s fine, if it takes a bit longer.

At least, I would’ve absolutely seen headlines à la “Microslop wants you to buy an expensive new PC – to do things your current PC can perfectly fine”.

Yeah, always found that weird as a junior. I basically never touched the main-function, because well, it set up some fundamentals and then called some other function or created some objects and then I was tweaking things somewhere below that.

Now that I’m a senior and taking over the lead of projects, I’m the person that touches the main-function and others generally do not. 🥴

It was implemented as part of the X11 standard, so the concrete program would’ve been X.org…

I believe, that needs to be turned off in KDE.

I’m not sure, if this actually turns of the copying or if it just turns off the pasting, but you could try turning off this setting:

You know what you can also carry inside a backpack? Bags. And inside those bags? Even more bags. Basically, you can carry infinite carrying capacity in your backpack! 🙃

Oh yeah, as a wise Adam Savage once said:

Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

That cow in the GIF is screwing around. But if it could have a chat with its cow friends about how that ball is flying and they could write that shit down – and they’d have stable enough of a food supply and no predators – then I 100% believe that they would continue screwing around + writing down, until they’ve figured out a rule for how that ball flies.

And from that point, they would start building trebuchets and take over the world. Cause that’s how things go, appparently…

I mean, I hope so. I’ve just seen this sentiment expressed so often, that cows must be nearly braindead, because you don’t hear them reciting Shakespeare while they’re chewing grass.

I believe, that’s a general herbivore survival strategy to not recite Shakespeare move much while they’re eating, so that they don’t draw attention from predators and conserve energy. At least, similar behaviour can also be seen in deer and bunnies.

But yeah, clearly they’re intelligent enough to have survived until we domesticated them, despite being a big hunk of meat.

They are not typically thought to plan, let alone solve problems. A new study suggests we may have underestimated them.

Never understood these views. Is it not planning, when cows predict where a predator is likely to appear again after it has disappeared behind some shrubs?
And is it not also problem solving in some way to run the hell away from predators?

In particular, the tool use category feels like we’re asking a fish to climb a tree. There’s only so much cows can achieve with tools, since they can only hold those tools with their mouths. They might be solving physics equations in their third stomach and we’re asking, if they’ve figured out how to bang two rocks together.

Like, no, I don’t either believe that they are solving physics equations, but you can throw a ball for them and they’ll correctly estimate where it’ll go and in what direction to kick it back:

Which I feel like it should count for more intelligence than being able to extend your reach with a stick.

Yeah, I met maybe 2½ in my lifetime.

Ah, in that case, I got poe’s-lawed. There’s just teenagers out there, who have not yet formed such a taste and assume others have not either, so may genuinely assume they’re just supposed to be the most physically beautiful and non-weird to rake in a boy-/girl-/enbyfriend. Well, and some of those teenagers even make it into adulthood without taste…

I blame romance movies and novels and such. It’s such utter bullshit, how the stereotypical storyline is that she rejects him at first and then he’s just really desperate persistent and then she eventually softens up and they’re married ever after.

Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand.
But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting. They want to have a partner they actually find attractive themselves, not just any partner who finds them attractive enough to persist through humiliation.

Human beings can have tastes in their partners that go beyond a one-dimensional weird vs. attractive…

I think, I died from a cholesterol overdose just reading that comment, so that’s great.

Yeah, although with a proper store, you can at least still hope that they’ll return in the future or tell others about your store…

With that thick of a pillow, you’re gonna get neck pain for sure, so I hope they don’t have plans for tomorrow or any following days either…
