I use lazygit in neovim through the snacks plugin: https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim/blob/main/docs/lazygit.... It works really nicely, without any fuss.

The killer features of LaTeX that does not let me go with typst (Although I like my typst generated resume) as an academic are.
1. Beamer, I create multiple slide decks per week and the out of the box setup that beamer provides with different styles and fonts for different needs are unmatched. The efforts to generate some of this on typst is not there yet.
2. Generating figures using tikz and be able to modify it on the source file. Because I don't bear using GUI tools. And now life is easier that LLM can help you with complex tikz generation.
3. Not that it is actually a point but I am used now to overleaf and I have professional account as CERN member. It is also better on collaboration level and features than typst cloud.
I hope that one day typst will grow into this direction so that I can stop using LaTeX. Until then I have couple of overleaf templates generated for my use.
Some quick remarks:
1) I have been using typst to create slides with some success. Adding special features tends to be simpler than in beamer.
2) cetz (https://github.com/cetz-package/cetz) works quite well and is comparable to tikz in complexity and capability. of course, there is more support for tikz, but it is bound to improve over time.

This, Typst, etc etc are primarily typesetting systems for papers.
I would love alternatives to HTML or whatever, but I tried Typst too and it's very clear that the authors only really care about typesetting for papers and other long form prose. Stuff like forms, invoices, flyers, handouts, leaflets, business cards -- an afterthought, at best.
Edit: Actually I was thinking of Sile not Typst, but I think the same applies to Typst too. I didn't dig into Typst too much because it was commercial though.
You can use typst locally and bypass the commercial bits. It is really easy to create different kinds of documents with it. I have been using it to create slides and handouts, and for that I already find it much easier to use than the alternatives.

For an exploration of the dark forest theory at least, I recommend The Killing Star. Fair warning though, it’s extremely bleak.
I read it recently and while the ideas are there, it is not a great read (the dialogues in particular are pretty bad).
> Chimera is a general-purpose OS born from unhappiness with the state of Linux distributions. It's built around the core idea that a simple system does not have to require endless setup and customization to be practical.
This seems disingenuous at best.
Many distros already supply this feature. Debian is the most notable but there are many others. Install it, make any tweaks you want from the base install, sit on it for many years unchanged.
Considering the next paragraph goes on to describe OpenBSD userland, LLVM compiler, and musl libc, it appears the aim is actually to build a Linux distribution without GNU.
I usually steer away from projects which are defined by what they are not. It seems to build a community whose roots are based in hostility.
Not just not GNU: they also ditch systemd for dinit, syslog-ng and a bunch of homegrown plumbing:
> We are also putting a lot of effort into writing fresh low-level plumbing. For example, Chimera comes with first-class and built-in support for user services and other things dependent on session tracking (such as a shared session bus), implemented from scratch thanks to our Turnstile project, finally bringing functionality previously only available on distributions using systemd. This is being implemented in a vendor-independent manner so that other distributions can adopt it.

Is this a parody?

I disagree. Most people do fine with US-intl keyboards, perhaps with extensions to specific keys such as alt gr to type a few dedicated diacritics or other altered letters. The trouble with regional keyboards is that they frequently move special characters around for very little actual reason (and that isn't saying anything about the whole AZERTY thing, which is incomprehensible).
AZERTY is plainly the worst.
They intentionally don't want you to keep using X11, and they'll keep turning up the heat on the pot until we're all boiling.
Gnome just removed the middle-click paste option. Is that because they fixed the clipboard situation on Linux, and there's a universal, unambiguous way of cut and paste that works across every application? No. It's because middle-click to paste is an "X-ism." This is just demagoguery and unserious.
They disabled it by default. You can enable it if you want.
