I’m an Emacs graybeard, so complex keybindings don’t scare me. My problem with ncmpcpp is twofold:
MPD + ncmpcpp, I hate both and I’m yet to find anything better.
I wish. They are not even close.
I can see it working if one wants to customize the compilation flags of a few packages they have strong opinions on, but otherwise don’t care about the rest of the system. Sort of like the binary cache in NixOS, where by default you use the binary cache, but you can customize parts of your system triggering a source-based installation for that parts.
If someone claims to do it for “all the optimizations”, you can immediately assume they are full of shit. If anything, the true gain is the control over the features to compile or not compile into your packages.
The answer is “currently no”, and that might change. Just like with jaywalking.
Originally jaywalking also wasn’t a ticketable offense. Do you know the origin of this term? That’s the parent poster’s point.

Ah yes, let me sideload a 3rd party web browser onto my PC.
Even back in the day when I still used Windows (and GUI almost exclusively) I browsed my filesystems like I’d use a terminal with tab-completion. I’d press the first few letters of the file/directory I was looking for and press enter, rinse and repeat. I knew my file organization by heart anyway. It’s only natural for me to drop the GUIs for such use cases.
Fair, let me buy a new phone to talk to one person instead.
Thanks for putting it into words. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what specifically felt wrong about this reasoning but you’re on point.
Right, I didn’t consider SELinux, thanks for mentioning it.
Syncterm seems to be available in nixpkgs. It’s trivial to install Nix (the package manager, not NixOS the system) on top of any system you choose and then add one or two packages you need, in this case just Syncterm.
Wow, that’s some amazing blind zeal, especially in the second link. It’s so disturbing to read.
Do you have any links to articles on such cases? I’m interested in reading more about it.
“Yes” in this case is agreeing with the cause of this list.
I mean, what do you expect from Fedipact? The dev doesn’t push anything onto you, you willingly visit a list that got created for the very purpose of going against Threads. There is no hidden agenda.
Even if it wasn’t, technological illiteracy cannot justify imposing a vendor lock-in upon the others. Installing an independent messenger like Signal is not rocket science.
I’m aware but thank you. I’ve tried it before and didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll give it another shot, though I don’t see much benefit in tying my music player to Emacs.
