Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it’s really relevant) that’s exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that’s definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you

The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day

“Glazing” is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree

Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They’re nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)

I switched to (Doom)-Emacs from a ~7yr old homegrown Vim config last week and honestly the configuration is less bad than it seems. If you’re mainly writing markdown you’ll probably get 99% of the way there by just enabling the dedicated module

The back end is open source, but sometimes they’ve lagged years behind releasing the source code.

I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved
