I don't think you understand what I mean with the language aware rename. It's not even close to %s. Let's say I've got a c# app and I rename a class in VS. This will rename the class in the file, all class usages (but not as text - if I rename A.B, then it will not touch X.B due to different namespaces), including other projects in the solution, optionally will rename the file it lives in and optionally will/won't re…

This is something that the LSP provides (even in VScode), and is available in nvim yes. The command is vim.lsp.buf.rename(), and it is bound to "grn" by default. https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html#vim.lsp.buf.rename () (HN seems to not link the () part, you have to add it yourself) All the other similar fanciness like renaming a file and automatically updating module references is also provided by the LSP, and is al…

That's cool. This was not easily accessible last time I used plain nvim. I'm glad the functionality has made its way there.

Set up your router to offer DNS through pihole and everything in your network now has tracking and ads blocked, even the wifi dishwasher.

Until everything starts using DoH (DNS over HTTPS). There is pretty much no reason to use anything else as a consumer nowadays. In fact, most web browsers are using DoH, so pihole is useless in that regard.

You can make pihole work with DoH:

I would not want to share these: Unique Identifiers: Machine ID, user ID, device fingerprints Workspace Details: Project information, file paths (obfuscated) Plus os details. I'd rather none.

How do you do abuse detection for free-tier without these?

Provide a light version of your app for the free tier that does not use any remote resources ofc.

Then you don't have to worry about "abuse".

gcc/as/ld are batch processors from the GNU toolchain that offer few (if any) features beyond basic C/C++ (and a handful of other languages) as support, and they're non-standard toolchains on 2 out of 3 major operating systems requiring a bit of heavy lifting to use. It's kind of nonsense to bring them up in this conversation.

And electron is standard tooling? LOL

Toolchains have little to do with IDEs

I don't want any program on my computer including the OS to make any network calls whatsoever unless they're directly associated with executing GUI/CLI interactions I have currently undertaken as the user. Any exception should be opt-in. IMHO the entire Overton window of these remote communications is in the wrong place.

Yeah but this is industry standard not saying this is good but everyone do this

> Yeah but this is industry standard

we don't have to accept it. but people say "it's just how we do it" and suddenly people just accept it.

i really feel like our society is going to collapse soon, if it hasn't already begun to. the amount of total crap that people are put through just so that ads can be more targeted to users. we are creating a hellscape for privacy and freedom just so people click on ads. it is pure and complete insanity, and no one cares.

I so much like the fact that I've come back to TUI (helix editor) recently. I'm trying ZED too, which I believe as a commercial product comes with telemetry too.. but yeah, learning advanced rules of a personal firewall always helpful!

How are you finding it compares to just using [Neo]Vim with all the plugins and custom configs? What improvements does it offer?

Counter-abuse is hardly the answer

Yes.

Yeah, that was my point. I'm not sure what's so breath taking about what ByteDance is doing. I'm not a fan. But, with Meta, Google, Microsoft and I'll throw on Amazon, a huge chunk of the general public's web activity is tracked. Everywhere. All the time. The people have spoken, they are okay with being tracked. I've yet to talk with a non-technical person who was shocked that their online activity was tracked. They…

Luckily for you (and many others) there is no requirement that points be coherent.
