    I had the same kind of issue with syntax color schemes: the DNS highlighter didn't work as expected (domain names were highlighted in red, indicating an error), but a contribution to Chroma, which Hugo is based on, solved everything.

    I've been using Hugo for almost a year now, and it's the best SSG experience I've had. The initial setup is quite daunting because you can't really start making a theme before having contents and vice versa, but once you're out of the chicken and egg problem it's great.

    What I've found is that the results in rust are just bad. Rust is a language which doesn't let you make a small mistake with types or error handling, and it will just not compile if you don't obey its very good rules. Copilot tends to write code that is so bad that I spend more time understanding what it should have outputted than just writing the code myself.

    In python it can actually be quite useful. For example writing boilerplate is much faster, GUIs are a good example of where it kinda works. But as soon as you do something complicated it falls short. It's still quite good for thins like simple image processing with opencv. But again, I litteraly lost hours because of not reading the docs for an opencv function, so there's that...

    LineageOS user here. Basically I just can't use my bank's app without microG, which I won't enable because it needs a google account for notifications, and that's just against the whole point of degoogling.

    Other than that everything works great. No other app has ever given me trouble, and having never had a smartphone with google services I just can't stand them on other peoples'. I mean why won't you let me uninstall the apps I don't need? I get that I have to keep the appstore, but why can't I remove YouTube or google meet? Because they want to keep you in their walled garden. Newpipe, Iceraven, aurora and F-droid is just the goat as far as phone apps and app stores go.

    It's really just a shame that banking apps aren't more open to other types of notifications than just GoOgLe. I tried to call customer service for mine, complained for a few minutes and that's as far as it went. They're litteraly the only ones and they all do it.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Yeah, I guess I should be a little more active on other topics. I primarily use Tildes in a feed reader and away from a computer unfortunately, which makes being active on other peoples topics (and my own) a bit annoying.

    I'll take this into account and not post anything without having interacted on other topics from now on (not rally to avoid getting banned; I finally took the time to connect to tildes on my phone & that'll make it much easier. The lack of an app is really the only thing that will be stopping me now)
