It was also unpopular within the republican party. Even within MAGA it had only 30% support. It wasn’t pushed out of the media to pull undecided or centrists. It was pushed out to not drive away the non-MAGA republicans. You can also compare the October poll to one of the first poll as it shows a clear trend where the more people found out about Project 2025 the less they liked it.

Maybe now (for whatever reason) republicans are more in favor of Project 2025 but during the campaign Project 2025 was quickly swept under the rug, because GOP probably knew it was so unpopular it might cost them the election.

In lazyvim a vertical line, with no crossings, is still broken, as it is two pipes separated by the line space height.

My bad. I literally didn’t notice that single pixel between the two lines.

No, I’m saying it’s trash because it CANNOT do something basic like drawing a continuous vertical line, because it is hamstrung by using the interface of a typewriter. A git branch is just one readily available example of a situation where something extremely basic like drawing a continuous line would make sense.

So it’s trash because it doesn’t look like how you want it to look like. Got it.

I can’t cite internal market research that is under NDA. I can point you to basic courses on design and UX, point you to information on concepts like cognitive overload, and point out to you the multiple trillion dollar software companies that got to where they are entirely through paying attention to little UX details that backend nerds previously claimed didn’t matter and were user skill issues.

Sure. I’d say you would understand me not taking the word of someone who has no problem being confidently wrong, but somehow I doubt you’d understand.

Bruh, why would you even try and talk out of your ass like this? I am literally using jsCad and VsCode to do my personal 3d printing modelling, and I literally got my start programming using first VS, then VSCode, to build 3d modelling software for Autodesk. Not sure if you’re aware of this but modern websites have this little thing called WebGL that lets them display these little things called jraphics.

Sorry. I made an invalid assumption because I’ve never had an actual need for anything like that. But hey, I never said VIM needs to do everything VsCode can. In fact I think I’ve been pretty open that you should use whatever tool suits the job and and my argument has been that for software development VIM is just as good as vsCode. The fact that you want to keep your jscad inside VS code is your personal preference, you can just as easily keep in the browser and switch between the terminal an browser. I don’t get your need to die on the smallest of hills to be right but if that’s all you want then go be right. I couldn’t care less.

I said continuous vertical lines and literally posted a screenshot of it not being able to do it.

But it’s literally doing that in your image. When a horizontal and vertical line cross the horizontal line breaks.

No, it’s not. The human brain does not process dashed lines as easily as it does continuous lines. A whole bunch of dashed lines are objectively harder to follow than continuous ones.

Oh, did you mean the points that represent actual commits? You’re arguing it’s trash because there’s no line between two adjacent commits? Really?

You can think that’s not important, but the literal decades of UX research and attention to fine grained user interaction, can prove that you’re just flat out wrong.

You’ve brought it up multiple times now so I think it’s time you also source that claim. Cmon, source the claim where the code editor with better visual fidelity increases productivity.

Literally just go ahead and try and visualize a basuc cube with this base point and dimensions through a CLI and watch that wow, maybe a fucking typewriter interface isn’t the best for absolutely everything:

Not only is this a stupid argument but it’s one that I’ve already addressed. Yes, terminal can’t do everything, but I don’t think anyone is using VS code to look at a cube either. Actually, I’m not even sure if there is a VS code extension that draws cubes? So you wouldn’t use VS code for that either. Just like someone using terminal for development would use a different tool to visualize a cube you’d do the same thing if you were using VS code for development. What the fuck are you even arguing here?

I think you meant horizontal line because lazygit is drawing vertical lines. And if we were to get pedantic when to lines cross in vs code then one of them also breaks which means vs code also doesn’t have continuous lines. It’s functionally the same visual representation of data so you’re literally arguing over it not looking like you want it to look.

You’re literally refusing to acknowledge the graphical difference between the standard git tree and Lazygit git tree, and you call it trash because it doesn’t look like you want it to look. It’s dogmatic.

Just as dogmatic as the people you complain about.

Getting an automatic terminal window when you start up vs code is no different having two panes in tmux, one for VIM and once for terminal. You can get a visual project tree representation in VIM by using neotree plugin. Your git doesn’t need to look like that, you can use lazygit. The only things you can’t do within a terminal are reading the pdf or checking assets etc (but I personally wouldn’t look at those things within vs code either), everything else you can do just as easily within the terminal without it looking like the image you gave.

I gave you the benefit of doubt by stating you don’t know how to set up a terminal environment. But if you’re going to be adamant about knowing what you’re talking about then you should also know you’re deliberately misrepresenting the alternative to make your arguments seem more valid.

While I agree with your general idea that there shouldn’t be any dogmatic insistence that terminal environments are superior and everyone should use them. But the points you’re bringing up tell me that you don’t actually know how to use a terminal environment for development which makes your point equally as dogmatic as the terminal purists.

Yeah, Embark was founded by the former CEO of DICE so I imagine quite a lot of DICE talent moved to Embark.

I think I was rambling a bit. I think the best course of action is to just give it a try because I think the gameplay is the biggest make or break for people. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it doesn’t matter if the game isn’t a toxic mess and not really predatory with the MTX.

I would say the community is much better than what you would expect from Call of Duty or Destiny or anything looking to hit super mainstream. I think most toxic players won’t play the game because the game has a high effective TTK. The average encounter is around probably 1-2 seconds because you usually need to hit more than 5 shots and your opponent has enough time to react and use movement to make them a harder target to hit. The higher TTK may be a deal breaker, it was for a lot of people during launch, but I personally enjoy it.

I think the MTX is pretty mild. It’s all cosmetic so they don’t impact the core gameplay at all, which means if you don’t care about cosmetics your only interaction with the MTX is the little sale window on the top left of the main menu. You can earn some in game currency to buy cosmetics but because it’s F2P their only revenue streams are the battlepass (which again is also strictly cosmetic rewards or in game currency) and the cosmetic shop. Some things are only for real cash and they can look expensive (like $20 for a pack of cosmetic items) but they usually come with in game currencies so if you’re planning to use the in game currency as well that $20 usually drops to $7-$8 which for 2025 isn’t actually that much. I forgot to mention, the battlepass can be bought for the in game currency so what I’ve done is bought the $20 thingy and the use most of the in game currency to buy the battlepass.

Just a PSA, The Finals is playable on Linux and is F2P with a very reasonable monetization (cosmetic only with some free cosmetic options as well) and the new season just began.

For me it scratches that multiplayer itch because the destructible environments make matches feel very dynamic.
