You said "I use vim," and I tremble.

It's not "vim." It's vi—no, wait, it's Neovim, technically, because the original vim is a closed-source fork of vim, which is a non-GPL free license, which means it's not even properly FOSS, which means your entire identity as a "vim user" rests on a legal technicality that most vim users have never read and would stop using if Bram Moolenaar actually enforced it, which he can't because of the way the vim project split in 2001, but you'd never know that because you peaked at :h i in third-grade sysadmin college.

Meanwhile, a mere coincidence of shared history lets you claim "modality" as a feature when it's a limitation inherited from 1976 line-buffered editing constraints on a PDP-11. You haven't "mastered the modal workflow," you've spent ten years cargo-culting a workflow that existed because there were no multi-key strokes. Ctrl-X Ctrl-S isn't "hard to learn," it exists because GNU Emacs was built for a different input model in 1978, and you keep reading the fact that Emacs is a fully extensible Lisp environment where the UI itself is a reconfigurable application as "bloat" because your entire editorial philosophy is "my editor should do one thing or I will file a bug report with the universe."

And you say "but vim starts faster," and I weep. You measure 40ms of saved execve and call it productivity while GNU Emacs sits in daemon mode since boot, already loaded, already aware, waiting for your emacsclient invocation, and you're stuck in a ssh session on a server you don't have root on, and of course vim is there, because vi is on every POSIX system, which is exactly the point of POSIX, which is exactly why GNU Emacs added ess, org-mode, treemacs, magit, and a working calendar to the same binary you called "IDE-adjacent bloat" while I was, what, organizing my life?

You know what? Fine. Use your vim. Save your file. :wq. Walk away clean. I'll be here, in a major I haven't switched out of since 1994, with C-x C-f on :w q, because the point was never the file.

…

Anyway. It's GNU Emacs, not "that one editor."

You should check out Dank Material Shell. Pairs like a fine wine with Niri.

2 separate bootloader partitions. Grub launches the windows bootloader on a different partition so it isn't aware of anything other than itself. Then the 2nd bootloader actually launches windows. Don't try to share one partition or else windows will inevitably wind up clobbering the Linux loader.

Noice setup. I've run Arch as a VM in proxmox for years now on my big pc. I also run HassOS, FreeNAS, and winblows10, but Arch gets the GPU. Nvidia ( I like Cuda) prevents you from sharing across VMs but with docker it's easy. I just run docker on Arch for that.

Asmongold, Harrison Smith, Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon are calling for the deportation of Muslims. This is a Zionist agenda.

Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here's the text message I got leading here.

"Wishing you a bright and sunny day!" Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

 

What podcasts do you guys like to listen to?
