An elegant vim distribution inspired by spacemacs

What is space-vim?
space-vim is a vim distribution for vim plugins and resources, compatible with Vim and NeoVim.
It is inspired by spacemacs and mimics spacemacs in a high level, especially in the whole architecture, key bindings and GUI.

Libreboot no longer opposes the GNU project or FSF. We have made peace.

Over the past six months, the Libreboot project has been in a state of discord. After an issue with a transgender employee at the FSF escalated, Libreboot publicly left GNU with little consultation from the community. Relations with so many people were strained. Friendships broken, lines of code never written: the chaos needs to come to an end.

With all of this in mind, were the allegations against the Free Software Foundation true? Perhaps. Perhaps not. At this point, it doesn’t matter. Indeed, it is unlikely that Libreboot will ever rejoin GNU, but feuding in an already fragmented community helps nobody. The world of free software is shrinking and under attack. Though the FSF may make mistakes from time to time, so do we. We do not need another divide.
No more “royal we”. No more notorious surprises. No more late night “typofixes”.

Transparency and collaboration are the way forward.

• [Libreboot] libreboot is not GNU Libreboot anymore
• Libreboot no longer opposes the GNU project or FSF. We have made peace.
• Libreboot, Coreboot Downstream, Becomes A GNU Project

Fedora to HN: We got what you want

Over the last few years I do feel we managed to nail down what the major pain points are and crossed them out one by one or gotten people assigned to work on them. So a lot of the items people asked for in that thread we already have in Fedora Workstation or have already in our roadmap. So I thought it would be nice to write them up and maybe encourage people to take a look at Fedora Workstation if you haven’t done so already.

• Multitouch gestures
• Battery life

Report: Android overtakes Windows as the internet’s most used operating system

Research from web analytics company StatCounter found Android now accounts for a larger share of internet usage than Windows for the first time. During March 2017, Android users represented 37.93 percent of activity on StatCounter’s network versus 37.91 percent for the Microsoft operating system. It’s a small gap for sure — and it refers to usage not necessary users — but it marks a notable tipping point that has been inevitable for the past couple of years.

The wider Android-Windows trend has been evident for some time. Windows dominated, and continues to dominate, the desktop landscape, but worldwide PC sales have declined for the past five years to reach the same levels as 2008. In contrast, sales of smartphones continue to grow, and Android is the operating system for the lion’s share of internet users worldwide. Growth is highest in emerging markets like India. There, Apple has increased its sales but remains a niche player, with Android accounting for upwards of 90 percent of smartphones.

• Samsung’s biggest challenge now is Google

Using Linux in the Real World

Discovering my inner curmudgeon: A Linux laptop review

Quick refresher: I’m a life-long Mac user, but I was disappointed by Apple’s latest MacBook Pro release. I researched a set of alternative computers to consider. And, as a surprise even to myself, I decided to leave the Mac platform.

If you’re in the market for a new laptop, by all means check this one out. However, I’ll be selling my Spectre x360 and going back to my mid-2012 MacBook Air. It’s not HP’s fault or because of the Linux desktop. The problem is how I value my time.

In contrast, I’ve spent the past two years learning how to play the piano. It’s required rote memorization and repeated physical exercises. By spending time practicing piano, I’ve opened myself up to ideas that I couldn’t appreciate before. I’ve learned things about music that I couldn’t comprehend in the past. My retraining efforts have expanded my horizons. I’m skeptical that adopting HP hardware and the Linux desktop could have a similar effect on me.

Other User’s Stories

Vim text editor turns 25

Over 25 years ago, when some of your professional colleagues were still toddlers, Bram Moolenaar started working on a text editor for his Amiga. He was a user of vi on Unix, but the Amiga didn’t have anything quite like it. On November 2, 1991, after three years in development, he released the first version of the “Vi IMitation” editor, or _Vim._

Runs Linux

• Personal Trainer Robot Runs Linux

Vizzy will be a personal assistant robot, designed to teach exercise routines and provide physical therapy support, while also ensuring proper exercise form and monitoring physiological responses. So, much like human personal trainers, Vizzy will encourage users to keep exercising, even when they say they are tired.

Portuguese Robotics research is poised to become a reference in the field with the creations like Vizzy, a personal training robot created in the scope of one of the Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program.
Vizzy will be a personal assistant robot, designed to teach exercise routines and provide physical therapy support, while also ensuring proper exercise form and monitoring physiological responses. This will be accomplished with its motion detectors that, much like the technology currently present in gaming consoles, is able to read the user’s body positioning. But Vizzy will also be able to detect other responses, such as body temperature and breathing pattern to gauge the user\’s physical reaction to the routine and adjusting it accordingly. So, much like human personal trainers, Vizzy will encourage users to keep exercising, even when they say they are tired.

Vizzy is under development within the “AHA – Augmented Human Assistance” project, lead by Profs. Alexandre Bernardino (IST) and Daniel P. Siewiorek (CMU). AHA is one of the six selected proposals of the CMU Portugal Program Entrepreneurial Research Initiative in 2014.
