Yes! I'm no longer at university, so I don't typeset equations or graph data often anymore, but I am a big fan of -mom for typesetting other notes. I especially appreciate its split between "document processing" (semantic meaning) and "typesetting" (visual presentation) macros, which resonated with me due to its similarity to the split between HTML (semantic) & CSS (presentation).
Do you mean using LibreOffice to view markdown documents with nicer presentation? I never knew LibreOffice could do that! I will admit I have grown to like markdown because I can get my coworkers to use it without too much hassle, but we use it with Wiki.js, not for its own sake.
I'm glad to hear you settled on using groff with -mom :)
I use GNU Stow for mine so the dotfiles I care about are included in my file-level backups. Once I restore my files, I can just run the stow(8) command to create the symbolic links. But, if I just want the dotfiles without the rest of my files, I would use scp(1) to copy the stow directory over to a new system, because it would be simplest. I don't use version control with my stow directory (yet).
I find it important to support projects that contribute to the greater free software ecosystem. I pick projects I benefit from and whose continued existence I am invested in, despite any faults.
I can understand giving up on FreeBSD--OpenBSD at least offers to install & configure a graphical environment with a graphical login screen during the installation process, which makes it much easier to get up and running for desktop or laptop use (on supported hardware).
Android strives to be a lightweight OS so it can run on a variety of hardware. The first version of the OS had to squeeze into the T-Mobile G1, with only a measly 256MB of internal storage for Android and all your apps, and ever since then, the idea has been to use as few resources as possible.
Emphasis mine. Now, I know graphics improvements and support for various versions of Android take up a lot of the space used, but gee willikers! It's amazing to think it began with storage requirements far under a single gigabyte.
In order to make a change to the rules and tradition of anything, easy or not, it must be justified. Is there any reason to change the colors or rules concerning which player opens?
Die Kosten der Entsorgung von Verpackungen soll der Hersteller tragen. Es ist unglaublich, dass Obst und Gemüse noch in Plastikschalen verkauft wird. Verpackungslose Märkte sollen eigentlich zur Norm werden.
Insofern, dass es manchmal dort Antworten auf Fragen gibt, die man nirgendwo anders findet. Also, passiv und nach Bedarf.
Mein Konto ( zum Glück habe ich Lemmy ziemlich schnell gefunden :D ) habe ich zwar nicht gelöscht, weil es mich verärgert, anstelle der besten Antwort deleted mit Kommentaren darunter wie genau das hat bei mir geholfen! zu sehen.
Well, much like you, I am slowly learning how to use simpler, more
efficient tools, but it takes some time to get acquainted with new
software. My most used machine is my desktop, which runs OpenBSD and
Linux Mint. I've been slowly branching out from Emacs, which is what I
typically use for everything except web browsing where JavaScript
is needed.
I have begun to use many of the recommended programs from suckless.org/rocks,
including ksh, zathura, snownews, profanity, nnn, ranger, cmus, feh,
aerc, mg, links, and ffplay. I also use groff, cwm, xterm, calcurse,
elvis, dictd, clang, weechat, latex, as well as a couple heavier
programs like qemu, qutebrowser, librewolf*, turtl*, kiwix*, discord*,
gnome-boxes*, steam*, and dino*. I gave up on mutt because I found it
too difficult to set-up properly with my current knowledge. The rest is fairly simple to use.
It ultimately depends on what one's goals are, however. I only have
4GB RAM on my desktop, which means the lightweight programs I use on
OpenBSD allow me to open as many applications as I please without
risking crashing my system, which is unfortunately not the case with
Cinnamon. The idea behind my software choices is typically efficiency, but I also desire to discover the world outside of Emacs. The biggest compromises I make are Steam and
Discord. The rest is FOSS though, so I'm not going to get into a
purity-spiral over only using minimalist software, especially if it
detracts from my efficiency.
The comments you highlighted were some of the most bizarre things argued in the whole thread. Apparently copyleft just isn't permissive enough for some people. Your counters are good!

It would be prudent to mention these are Gemini protocol browsers, and don't support HTTP. Great programs though, I use them too.

*only on Linux Mint
Opt-in seems like a reasonable position for this optional feature. Not everyone uses it. I don't. To turn the question on its head:
Is there a compelling reason to enable it by default?

This read is a bit sad... Though I admit I likely wouldn't have learnt anything about TeX myself, were it not mandatory for physics.
