there are two images for me on .ml as well (I use Eternity client, maybe that matters)

Hamas has stated their goal is not the genocide of Jewish people. So maybe apply some critical thinking, look into primary sources, do some historical analysis instead of taking things at face value?

Did you first start with Vim or Neovim?

I probably started with Vim, but I honestly don't see much reason to use it over Neovim besides better out of the box fbcon support

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.

yes, if that AUR was in a centralized git repository, and kept track of inter-package compatibility, and centrally cached prebuilt versions of the packages for every single update, and you could also easily modify any of the packages, and there was a way to autogenerate build scripts, and and and...

the Russia-Ukraine war of course

executable ownership doesn't matter, what matters is the rights of the user running the binary, and whatever sandboxing you have configured. So use Flatpak or Firejail.

You can use Tesseract for OCR and any engine for translation. That said, in my experience there are much better OCRs than tesseract, but you gotta surf Github/Huggingface for that.

I think they wanted to push the fork Sneedacity?

Anyone with access to your homeserver can change your password and log into your account. That's why by default, when someone logs into account, their session is unverified and doesn't have access to encryption keys. To verify it and sync encryption keys, you have to mark it as trusted from another device you own (which sends the encryption keys from the old device), or if it's the first session it becomes the only trusted device (and generates new encryption keys).

Note that the homeserver owner can always reset all of your sessions and encryption keys, then log in as the first session. They won't be able to read your past encrypted messages obviously, but they will be able to impersonate you. To prevent that, you can additionally perform the same verification process for the devices of those you chat with - that way they will also know which devices you marked as trusted.

thing is what you want is impossible (background services with no notification). However, Android has per-app notification settings where you can toggle notification categories, so the app can request to not be killed by showing a persistent notification, and you won't see it because you've hidden it

what do you mean by status bar icon? if you mean the persistent notification, it's so element isn't killed by android and can receive push notifications without google play services
