  • I agree with you about the API, it seems to be one of the first things to go.

    Though, killing it would be expecially dumb in this case, as it is what made trakt famous in the first place. It’s really useful to have a scrobbler for every major service, and I use it for a dumb side project.

    I’d really like to know what else they think they are adding with their service that is worth $60/year. The data comes from tmdb, the trailers are youtube links, reviews and lists are created by users (when they are allowed to). Sure, they package it all together, but I wouldn’t call the website a masterpiece of neither form or function.

    I hope that the current backlash will make them (temporarily) revert the change, but this is still a clear signal of the path they are willing to take. I’ll be looking for other services.

    Since you are sharing anecdotes, let me join.

    For me FF has always been extremely stable, and I too regularly keep 100+ tabs open, on much more limited system resources. It is so stable that I’ve completely disabled history saving, and if there is something I want to read later I just keep the tab open. Never had an issue.

    Tree Style Tabs also pushed me to have many tabs, because now I can actually organize those that I’ve opened and find them later.




  • have to be relatively fluent in Vimscript to pull that off

    I don’t think so, using ALE just requires to install the plugin and the external programs that it will interrogate. I know almost nothing about Vimscript.

    thoughts regarding Vimscript

    From what I’ve seen it’s a scripting language like any other, but one that is extremely specific to vim. The syntax is also quite different from anything else, so I never felt the need to learn it.

    Neovim

    As a general concept, it seems a good idea, I also know Lua so it would seem to be a logical switch for me.

    However, during these years every time I tried it it had some slight differences from vim that made using it somewhat annoying. Moreover, it never seemed to provide such a better experience that made me switch permanently. I’d like to like it, but I never had a reason to.
