I kinda hope smth like that would happen. In such case Russia is likely to strike back, and having 2/3 nations with ambitions of world domination minding their own business for once may prove beneficial for the world in general. Can't say Chinese government is a godsend with all their censorship, but at least I don't really remember them baselessly attacking other countries as of recently

Android translation layer is interesting. Well, at least I personally like this approach more than that of waydroid. Also would be nice to see the performance of that with binfmt compared to that of waydroid + libhoudini

Idk, given a common cold is caused by viruses, simply limiting the exposure to them generally helps not having a runny nose. Soo, why not be pissed off that you have to be around humans instead

This is seriously fucked up, tho. Crapple artificially makes repairs more complicated than they have any right to be, then begrudgingly lifts some of those artificial restrictions after some pegging from the EU, and here we are, discussing it as if it's some kind of accomplishment and not the way things should've been from the beginning.

Same for the activation locks. If I buy parts, idgaf if they've been ripped of a stolen phone. If my phone is stolen, idgaf if it's stripped for parts. The only thing those locks could achieve is the criminals adapting by stealing unlocked phones or finding a way to reflash those identifiers while increasing the amount of perfectly good parts thrown away for no reason until they do so.

No, they've definitely been Chinese last time I've checked. It's just that it seems a bit weird to me to distrust software just because it's Chinese, since foss stuff from china can be trusted as it's possible to audit it (say, shadowsocks or xray), and proprietary software from outside of china can send your data wherever it's programmed to (e.g. windows or chrome). Besides, while it's alleged China could influence Chinese developers to either hand over userdata or backdoor the software, it's not like other governments can't, and for an average Joe the consequences are, I suspect, more or less the same

s/owned by a Chinese public company/proprietary/

Although another problem is that it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Yet another chromium browser with built-in proxies and data collection 🤷

Or build yourself a crkbd, yeah. That's beside the point.

manually count

That's why rnu (i.e. relative numbering) is mentioned, tho

What stopped me personally was reading they use a different order of operations, so to say. Where vim goes action + range, helix goes (or at least used to go) range + action (like replacing ci" by i"c). Mb that makes more sense for them, but I'm too lazy to re-learn that for no particular reason

"Sane" keybindings are questionable given Ctrl's location (painful to press with both pinky and thumb fingers). It's standard, I'll give it that, but those in helix or vim are mostly (I'm looking at you, navigation between splits) much saner all things considered
