    afaik, in lore it's also because it was obvious Alderaan was connected to rebels (think Russia's presence in DPR/LPR, it was officially denied, but everyone knew it's true), so technically it was a valid military target, I'm not a Star Wars enthusiast though so I can't elaborate

    Does Marxism draw any [relevant] conclusions from materialism?

    Of course. One of the tenets of Marxism is that social being determines social consciousness, not vice versa. This is textbook materialism. Anything else simply leads to liberalism, religion, etc.

    the idealist schools of thought that only recognise material and non-material mental stuff

    You seem confused. There are two main currents in philosophy - materialism, which posits that nature is primary to spirit, being is primary to thought, and idealism, which posits the opposite. In between the two there are agnostics, who claim this question is impossible to answer. This has nothing to do with whether a philosophy "recognizes non-material stuff".






  • sway with tabs (i usually dont use actual tiling)+4-5 workspaces

    waybar for status display and on mobile also for menu access

    rofi as the app launcher (i also plan to write a proper rofi menu for my phone for quick access to useful commands/config but it's heavily wip)

    i patched sway for push to talk because wayland spec doesnt support keybindings in a way required for push to talk for now

    i also plan to patch it on the phone to completely forbid fullscreen apps (as they hide the menu which i use for workspace/window switching) and show the window bar on all windows (for example, firefox extension/downloads popups)






  • Which does beg the question why the others haven't implemented such functionality (yet)?

    Helix continues the work previously done by Kakoune (some people prefer Kakoune over Helix anyway). As to why - because it, like any other computer science topic, is a topic of active research, and Kakoune is the next generation of research into modal editing. Disclaimer: I use Neovim because it works well enough for me (it does offer more configurability, but I doubt I use it that much) and I don't want to learn another set of hotkeys (which is similar enough, but still different).

    I shouldn't expect remote accessing some random server will allow me to use Helix, right?

    That's right, but as a Neovim user, it's hard for me to use Vi, because it lacks many features, and I don't know which ones. When you start going from basic to advanced knowledge, it sadly doesn't translate. Of course, I would still pick Vi over Nano any day.

    There's a similar problem with many shells (fish, readline (bash)) that don't fully implement Vim's features, so their Vi mode sucks, but I still use it.

    Anecdotally, my vision was fine (well it was half farsighted half normal, now I'm half farsighted half nearsighted) until i started heavily using a computer. Plus what really makes your vision worse is eye strain (i.e. muscles around your eye contracting for extended periods of time) changing the shape of your eyeball, would be weird for prolonged screen use not to do that.


  • Freedom House is a bourgeois organization, and it doesn't lie, that's what's good about it. It truthfully tells you how free capitalists are to act as they please in a country. When they say "LGBT representation", they mean "freedom to open NGOs". When they say "democracy", they mean "freedom to lobby your interests in the parliament, to promote your candidates", etc. That's why I really like Freedom House and consider it a good source.
