I love Helix. I like that it pretty much works out of the box and the only thing you have to do is install language servers and in some cases configure them, but that's (mostly) well documented. No need to install plugins or use a preset "distribution" like with NeoVim. I also like the built-in keyboard shortcut hints, for example when you press g (goto) it shows you what key will do what.

The way Helix does "select first, then act" is subjective, but I like it.

I have yet to see a good implementation of Secure Boot, and that's just from a user interface standpoint.

How can I check which keys are installed in the EFI/BIOS UI? And then delete a specific key? I only ever saw options like "reset to factory settings".

Factory settings are just Microsoft's keys most of the time, and often there's no way to delete/not trust Microsoft's keys.

The whole system is way too intransparent. May as well turn it off.

This. Even I would be too paranoid to keep using a phone (or other device for that matter) that the police confiscated before.

Interesting that they launch Fortnite in other alternative iOS stores as well.

I don't like Epic particularly as they are the giant corpo which cries to the public when other giant corpos disagree with them, but still, that's an interesting move.

Same (in some situations). I feel like searching for "how to do X?", where X is a simple problem or knowledge, more often than not the classic search results are linking to articles that are way too long and talk around the solution way too much before actually getting to it (if at all).

Sure, I don't trust the AI responses for critical stuff, but I honestly rarely trust a random blog article either.

Works fine with OBS Studio (Flathub) for example.

Add a "Screen Capture (PipeWire)" source and a window should pop up asking for which screen or application window you want to capture.

Works with KDE and GNOME, not sure about other desktop environments.

BIOS/EFI updates have shown up on my ThinkPad T490 under Fedora, and I think Framework supports this feature as well with their devices.

The way you're supposed to know is that your watch plays a sound/vibrates.

They should still appear on your iPhone even when wearing the Apple Watch, but I don't think the iPhone will vibrate/play a sound. It will however when you're not wearing your watch.

What, sending bitcoin? That's not really a feature of Proton Mail, rather it's a feature of the wallet that happens to be able to send bitcoin via email (I suppose so that the recipient can then transfer the funds to a bitcoin address of their choice unless their email address is already linked to Proton Wallet).

Even if you'd consider this a feature of Proton Mail, how does this have higher priority than a proper iPad/tablet app, or the ability to add a .ics attachment directly to my (default, non-Proton) calendar without having to manually download the .ics file, open it with a file manager and then add it to the calendar? Filtered views (for example: view unread and starred messages but nothing else in one list)? A somewhat usable offline mode? The list goes on, and that's just Proton Mail. Proton Drive still lacks a native Linux app (I know there's "support" for Proton Drive in rclone, but that's hacked together because Proton doesn't even provide official API documentation and stability commitments).

I'd rather pay for the individual services that I can actually (somewhat) use, like Mail (even though it's not great), but their Mail only tier severely lacks in features (only 1 custom email domain is my main problem). If they'd then commit the financial resources towards improving the service being paid for, that'd be great.

The McLaren was already up there/faster than the Red Bull in Imola this year and he won that race with a similar sim racing schedule that same weekend.

To me he sounded more like someone who knows their team fucked up a lot more than just a race weekend behind the scenes.
