Why the fuck would a cop do this??

Oh, Florida. That checks out.

I’m physically addicted to SwiftKey and it’s still very good, but, it is owned by Microsoft now in case that influences anyone’s decisions here.

It’s a three ton steel knife that does zero to sixty in three seconds, it’s literally designed to shred human bodies.

Mariah just wants walkable cities and reliable public transportation. I can get behind that.

Like none of these people have ever seen a refrigerator before!

Chant it with me, friends!

Stop 👏 using 👏 Chrome 👏!!

Does that mean you love me?

Do you think you could ever love me?

Santa Claus is my favorite pale male.

I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who’s-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn’t just good activism, it’s good for your health, too.

More old trivia is that the original OK Cupid system was written in C, including the actual web server that served the pages. They wrote it in C so that the matching thing could run real-time, which is super impressive, even if writing your own web server is actually pretty dumb.

I loved the days when people just wanted to make fun, useful, quirky stuff on the internet and not just peddle thirst traps and Chinese merchandise.

No, you really can’t.

I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.

But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!

Gf: did you look for yourself?

Me: freezes

Reality’s an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Byeeee!

Bram obviously gave so much to the global community, and directly to Uganda through his persistent charity efforts, and no more need be said about what a devoted and generous person he was. We’d all truly be worse off without his contributions and I say that as a devout Emacs user.

Still, it always rubbed me wrong that his stated plan for the project was immortality.

How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?

Keep me alive.

Bram was notoriously possessive of the Vim project and consistently avoided bringing in other lead maintainers or adding widely demanded features (like async processing). Maybe that changed while I wasn’t paying attention, but it had a lot to do with the very successful neovim fork. Bram eventually added an async feature but not before neovim exploded in popularity.

It’s tragic to hear of Bram’s passing, and at such a young age. I will be interested to see what happens to the Vim project now, in his absence.

Jehova’s witnesses aren’t allowed to wear yellow come on. They can wear any other color though as long as it’s black or white.

Also conserve helium, which would be huge.

I’m happy to see Inkscape continue to get big updates!

I recently got a pen plotter and Inkscape is the main way anyone feeds drawings into these things so it’s good to know it’s being looked after.

It feels like realizing that WhatsApp is a terrible Meta privacy nightmare, but you can’t wake up because you can’t convince your whole family to use Signal.
