Of course, but when indentation has a syntactic meaning the formatter often won’t be able to fix it.

It’s probably more prone to mistakes like that, true. But in practice I really never witnessed this actually being a problem. Especially with tests and review.

Yeah, that’s definitely a good point. But it’s a minor thing. Adjusting indentation takes 2 keystrokes in vim, I barely notice it.

So I’m going to say what I always say when people complain about semantic whitespace: Your code should be properly indented anyway. If it’s not, it’s a bad code.

I’m not saying semantic whitespace is superior to brackets or parentheses. It’s clearly not. But it’s not terrible either.

As someone who codes in Python pretty much everyday for years, I NEVER see indentation errors. I didn’t see them back when I started either. Code without indentation is impossible to read for me anyway so it makes zero difference whether the whitespace has semantic meaning or not. It will be there either way.

I’m so excited for Cosmic!

E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I’m really not surprised they don’t allow to just disable it.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

Well, can’t say I’m surprised. I had something like that in pretty much every school I was in, just that ours were actually Gmail accounts. For non-technical folks it’s an easy and obvious solution. And to be honest, it works…

Good job Cosmic team!

I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!

I heard this opinion many times and I couldn't disagree more. I hated school and I much prefer my adult, working life. In fact I feel like my life only gets better as time goes by.

Granted, I'm privileged to have a well paying job I actually enjoy, which probably makes a world of a difference.

Yeah, no difference whatsoever between those services…

I see that Framework and System76 were already mentioned. I would add Slimbook and Tuxedo Computers to the list.

I was just in a market for a Linux laptop and I really wanted a Framework but it’s not available in my country so I settled on Slimbook Executive 14 instead. I have it for around a month now and I’m very satisfied.

If you’re on the edge right now - do it! Taking care of my body and diet was the best decision of my life.

Off topic but I’m surprised by the amount of smart tv hate in this thread.

I have a Philips TV with Android TV. I use it for YouTube, Twitch, Spotify and occasionally for other streaming services. I actually really like the experience. Everything is a few clicks on a remote away, the UI is clean, it works reasonably fast.

I’m not going to argue about privacy though, that’s definitely terrible.

FWIW I never experienced any of the above besides the tracking, that’s there for sure.

Yeah, there are reasons to criticize snaps but the fact that it takes a lot of space in some UI is not really one of them.

Some people mentioned Framework and I would definitely look into it, however you didn’t specify your country and they don’t sell everywhere in Europe. I was just in a market for a new laptop and really wanted it but it’s not available in my country.

Another options for an out of the box Linux laptop are Slimbook, Tuxedo Computers and Starlabs. I personally just ordered Slimbook Executive 14 yesterday.
