This is very cool, I wish there was some way to use it on a bicycle though. For example, when moving into a street it could ask (using voice) if this street is paved, and I could answer it using voice…

I have also been using it for a couple of months and it is great. Most other software that try to emulate a tiling window manager in windows/linux end up being too buggy and annoying to use full …

Yeah I got exited thinking this is about traffic lights. I use a bike to commute to work and recently I was thinking if I could adjust my cycling cadence so that I never hit a red light, but unfortuna…

> If you need complex file manipulation, all of that can be achieved by writing a shell script. That's what I've been doing. You also automatically get access to flow control statements a…

> Regarding your last point, for the vast majority of open source SW releases, we can never be sure if the release we get is produced from the same code we see. I do not know if that is the case wi…

That's so cool, I was actually curious about history of such programs. Thanks for posting this :)
comment
I doubt this comment was in good faith (you decided to ignore literally all the features I mentioned and focused on just creating files) but I am going to reply anyway: 1. There is no way that `touch …

What are you proposing? Should I not be allowed to develop and publish an extension that I think is useful? > nobody will do that "nobody" is a strong word. Yes, most people don't do…
comment
You can view the source code and package the extension yourself if you are worried about that. It is only ~2000 LOC. It is not easy to get verified in vscode marketplace, even major publishers like Qt…

There was some discussion about dired here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44568404
comment
Thanks for the feedback. Can you be a little more specific? What do you mean by "raw"? Do you mean from an aesthetic standpoint or is there some functionality you are missing from the UI?
comment
> Creating empty files is rarely useful or necessary I kind of disagree? Most files were once created as an empty file! (at least that's the case in my workflow).

Since voil uses its own file extension (.voil) you can easily disable copilot for voil windows. Also voil asks you to confirm destructive actions. And even if you do, by default voil moves deleted fil…

I obviously love oil.nvim and that's why I ported it to vscode. But I think in some ways voil is even more powerful than oil. Specifically: - It can work across multiple vscode windows - The top …
comment
I don't use emacs so I may not be familiar with the full power, but if you are referring to dired, I think oil.nvim is much, much more powerful than dired. The major difference being that you sti…

Yes, it was working at least in my experience.

Well, Iran is sanctioned as fuck, so no global payment system works in Iran anyway. All the payment systems used by Iranians are local so they work even in national internet.
comment
Well, the internet is not national anymore (for now!), but isn't Google AI Mode US only?
Anyway, the only google service that did work at that time was google search as far as I know nothing else…
comment
I wrote a blog post which hopefully clears up the "National Network": https://ahrm.github.io/jekyll/update/2025/06/20/iran-interne... It is way more…

Yeah, I can’t believe this is a serious website made by a multi million dollar company. It looks like something I would have designed when I was 10.

Something never thought I would say: google AI previews. They actually helped me a lot during Iran's internet shutdown last week. I wrote a blog post about it: https://ahrm.github.io…

What’s the alternative? Live under the delusional islamic theocratic dictatorship forever? If you think the islamic republic can be replaced through peaceful protests you have another thing coming, th…
