  • I’ve installed Kate and it seems pretty good. It’s quite customisable in terms of the layout and such(similar to VSCodium), and it seems to have most of the things I need. I’ll have to try both of them out and decide on which I like better.

    Two things about Kate I don’t like though: there’s no everforest theme (fortunately I found Tokyo Night to be pretty good), and the file picket window doesn’t follow my GNOME theme and is a bright white box. I guess that’s because Kate doesn’t support GTK themes?

    Also, what’s the difference between what looks like three different folder tree buttons (Document seems to only show one file, and then Project and File Browser plugin both show the full tree of the folder you have opened)? And is there an equivalent for the “Code Runner” plugin? If not, I guess I could always just run “python filename.py”, but a play/run button would be nice.



  • Wait a minute, do microorganisms that tracel in the air count as “flying”? Are there any microorganisms with mini “wings” that flap through the air? I remember a video where mayflies (I think that’s the name?) basically swim through the air, so I wonder how a microorganism will do…

    Even if microbes don’t flap little wings, I would argue it still counts as flying as kites are described as flying and they don’t have any wings at all. You also fly in a hot air balloon, and that definitely doesn’t have any wings, it’s effectively floating in air, but we still call it flying. Therefore, microbes are the first flying thing (?)







  • On other editors, I like VSCodium the best. Something like Neovim or Helix is a bit too hardcore for me, and I like having a folder tree to navigate between different files. Sublime Text isn’t open-source and, in my experience, VSCodium is more customisable with plugins and such. Lite XL is one I tried recently and seems interesting with a bunch of plugins as well, but doesn’t include a GUI for the settings page (there’s a plugin for that though, but strange that it’s not built-in…). I still like Lite XL, it’s got support for a bunch of languages. The main drawback for me is that there doesn’t seem to be a git branch tree or any way to run code within the code editor.
